It’s a gorgeous day, both in terms of weather, and because Final Form released Jamestown+ on PlayStation 4 today! This is something wonderful to celebrate, and I can’t wait to enjoy the beautiful weather on the way home until I get there and download the game and play it all night. Oh, and maybe stop to get some takeout or something. All in all it’s shaping up to be an awesome night!

Daily Scoop: March 16, 2015 – Sick edition
Well, it seems all of the excitement has caught up with me. After launching a Kickstarter, exhibiting to PAX East, and then spending a full week working and talking, my laryngitis turned into a full-blown infection. I’m home today not talking at all and sipping tea with honey. We also finally set up the humidifier, which I’ve been napping next to. Hopefully this infection goes away quickly! I miss talking.
Let’s talk a bit about deals, shall we? There are quite a few new games on sale at the Humble Store this week. You can pick up TRI for $7.47, Zombie Kill of the Week – Reborn for $5.94, and get early access to Coffin Dodgers for $12.99.

Daily Scoop: March 13, 2015 – The weekend is here!
I’m not sure if I’ve ever been so happy to see a weekend. After PAX East, we came home and still spent every night doing stuff and every day working! So I’m completely exhausted. We have a party tonight and then my entire family is coming Sunday, so between now and then I really need to clean, and go food shopping, and get a cake, and, you know. Everything. But hopefully I’ll have at least a tiny bit of time in there to play some games!
There are some great deals to lead us into the weekend! At Humble, you can pick up SuperPower 2 Steam Edition for $2.49, Silent Storm Gold Edition also for $2.49, and Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive for $1.24, among others. Check out their full sale list!

Daily Scoop: March 10, 2015 – It’s been a whole week!
I’m so sorry for my absence! I launched a Kickstarter campaign for my card game, RESISTOR_, last Tuesday, and reached the goal by Wednesday, so Wednesday was a frantic day of trying to get an update up and pack for PAX East! Anthony Amato and I left that night and didn’t get back until yesterday morning. We’re back in the swing of things now! We had a blast at the show, even if I totally lost my voice.
So, what about deals? Well, there’s a brand new Humble Weekly Bundle, and this one’s called Monochromatic. Pay what you want for The Bridge, Closure, and Dominique Pamplemousse. Pay more than the average for NaissanceE, Betrayer, and Oquonie. Pay $10 or more to unlock Neverending Nightmares.
Over at Steam, the Midweek Madness is early access to Carmageddon: Reincarnation, which is just $14.99. The Daily Deal is 80% off Memoria, which is $3.99.
Found four nice shirts today! (more…)

Daily Scoop: March 3, 2015 – RESISTOR_ has launched!
Yes, I know, this is shameless self-promotion, but I just wanted to let everyone know that the Kickstarter campaign for RESISTOR_, a card game I designed with Anthony Amato, launched today, and it’s already more than half funded! It’s been an incredible couple of hours and I’m so grateful to everyone. Thank you!!
Now, let’s talk about deals! It’s pretty quiet out there today. Over at Steam, the Daily Deal is Game Dev Tycoon, which is on sale for just $6.69. At the Humble Store, there are quite a few sales, including Meridian: New World for $3.73, Republique Remastered for $19.99, and the Red Faction Collection for $14.99. Scoop ’em up!

Daily Scoop: March 2, 2015 – Move over winter, spring is coming!
While it isn’t exactly all birds and flowers out there, it is much warmer than usual. It’s a rare day when it’s in the 30s and I am too warm! So I think it’s safe to say that spring is coming. Of course, that’s what I say now, but once I’m in Boston in a few days, I will forget spring ever existed!
There are 80 new Weeklong Deals at Steam! Worms Clan Wars is $6.24, Screencheat is $7.49, and the Memento Mori Collection is $7.99. There’s also a new Daily Deal, which is Train Simulator 2015 for $8.25.
The Humble Store also has new sales this week. Pick up Chivalry: Medieval Warfare for $8.33, or get early access to Monstrum for $14.99 or Cosmonautica for $9.99.
Of course, if you’re not into those games, maybe you’ll be into some of these t-shirts! (more…)
