It’s a rainy day here in Philadelphia, and it’s only the middle of the week, so it’s extra dreary! But I am planning on heading home tonight and cuddling up on the couch with my Vita and some Persona 3 Portable. What do you play on dreary days, readers?

Daily Scoop: April 7, 2015 – It’s time to get South Park: The Stick of Truth
Hello, daily readers! Tonight is board game night at my friendly local game store, Redcap’s Corner, and I’ll be teaching some friends how to play board games. They want to get into it, so we’ve brought some great games for them to check out! If you’re in Philadelphia, stop by and join us.
Anyway, let’s move on to some deals! The Midweek Madness at Steam is South Park: The Stick of Truth, which is on sale for $13.59. The DLC is on sale as well – The Ultimate Fellowship Pack is $1.01, and the Super Samurai Spaceman Pack is $0.67. Today’s Daily Deal is Ancient Space, which is on sale for $6.79.
Humble Bundle is having a Strategy Midweek Sale. You can get King’s Bounty: Dark Side Premium Edition for $4.99, Men of War: Assault Squad 2 for $7.49, and Planetary Annihilation for $7,49. Scoop ’em up!

Daily Scoop: April 6, 2015 – A beautiful day
After what felt like the longest winter of all time, we’re finally having a gorgeous day! Sure, it’s supposed to rain the rest of the week, but it’s going to be warm when it’s raining, so I’m not even that upset. After all, April showers are supposed to do something, right?
Steam has 154 new Weeklong Deals. Pick up Titan Quest for $3.74, GRAV for $13.99, and one of my personal favorites, Mount Your Friends, for just $4.99. Speaking of my personal favorites, the Daily Deal is Dead Space 2, which is on sale for $4.99. This one was my game of the year of 2011 – that’s how much I loved it! So $4.99 is an absurd price to pay for it.
There are some new games on sale this week at the Humble Store. You can get Son of Nor for $16.99, Enforcer: Police Crime Action for $9.99, and Letter Quest: Grimm’s Journey for $4.79, among others.

Once it’s over, I’m going to take some time to play some video games! There are lots of deals happening, too, so it’s a good time to relax and hop back into gaming.
