It’s a gorgeous, rainy Thursday, and I’m home alone trying to get some work done. Of course, what that means is I’ve gotten about half of my work done, and read almost the entire Internet. I was planning on going to Wizard World Philadelphia this weekend, but I’m just not sure if I can justify spending that much money on a convention I haven’t been enjoying much in recent years. I’ve been going since 2000 (omg!), and I’ve seen the major ups and downs of WW, and at this point, I don’t know if I’m willing to spend $55 to go for one day. I’d much rather save that money and use it towards one of the many PAXes that now occur around the world. Nothing against comics, but… video games!

Let’s talk about video games, shall we? Steam just announced their monstrous Summer Sale, which will go from today until June 30th. The Witcher 2 is $3.99, Far Cry 3 is $7.49, XCOM: Enemy Uknown is $7.49, and there are about a billion others on sale. Go check it out!

There’s a new Humble Weekly Bundle as well. This one’s all about strategy games! Pay what you want for Sang-Froid: Tales of Werewolves, Stronghold Crusader Extreme HD, and Cubetractor. Pay $6 or more to unlock Unity of Command: Stalingrad Campaign, Eador: Masters of the Broken World, and Space Hulk. Pay $9 or more to unlock Ironclad Tactics.

There are some great t-shirts today, too!

School’s out for summer, and I’m itching to start a new RPG. I’m just not sure which one at this point! I guess right now the choice is between Contact and Final Fantasy VI. Of course, I also really want to start up Lightning Returns, but that means I need to finish up Ni No Kuni first. Decisions, decisions…

Speaking of games in my backlog, I’ve got a list of some exciting games you can add cheaply to yours. Tiny and Big: Grandpa’s Leftovers is still $0.99 at Steam, and Aliens: Colonial Marines is $4.99. And if you missed Gunpoint yesterday, you can still get it for $2.49 at the Humble Store.

And now, it’s t-shirt time!

It’s a beautiful Tuesday, and now that classes are over, I’m thinking about heading over to Board Game Night at Redcap’s Corner! If you’re in the area, you should totally come and join us! We’ll have our games playable, and, of course, I plan on playing some games myself.

There are lots of great bundles going around the Internet right now, and one of them is the Mixer 5 Bundle over at Indie Royale! Pay the current minimum for Doorways, Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages, Famaze, Restaurant Empire II, Knights and Merchants, Finding Teddy, Turba, Spandex Force: Champion Rising, and the recently added Don’t Move.

As far as other deals go, the Midweek Madness sale at Steam is on Tiny and Big: Grandpa’s Leftovers, which is at the impossibly low price of $0.99, and their Daily Deal is $2.49 for the amazing Gunpoint, which you should absolutely buy right now. Over at the Humble Store, the deal of the day is Kerbal Space Program (Early Access Game) for $16.49. Scoop ’em up!

There are some great t-shirts out there today…

Hey, it’s Monday again! Did you spend the weekend playing video games? I didn’t play nearly as many as I’d hoped, but I think that’s how I feel pretty much every weekend! I did get to spend some quality time with the family for Father’s Day, so that was fun. Oh, and I played Scattergories with them, which was a blast!

Let’s talk about deals! Steam’s got a great Daily Deal – it’s Just Cause 2 for the incredibly cheap $2.99. The Humble Store also has some really great sales. Planetary Annihilation is $24.99, FTL: Advanced Edition is $6.99, Age of Fear 2: The Chaos Lord is $9.99, and Octodad is $8.99. Scoop ’em up!

And now, some t-shirts!
