Daily Scoop: June 11, 2014 – E3 halfway done

Posted on June 11, 2014 by Nicole Kline

The news from E3 is still pouring in! There are so many amazing announcements being made. And I love seeing all of these photos of my friends having a great time in LA! One of these days, I’ll make it back there. One of these days!

In the meantime, I’ll probably buy some games on sale and wallow in them tonight. Actually, I finished my homework 24 hours early, so I’ve got a whole unplanned night to do whatever I want! I haven’t been this excited about nothing in a pretty long time. Maybe I’ll grab the Mixer Bundle over at Indie Royale, which has Doorways, Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages, Famaze, Restaurant Empire II, Knights and Merchants, Finding Teddy, Turba, and Spandex Force: Champion Rising. Or maybe I’ll snag the Humble Weekly Bundle, which features loads of German games, including Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians!

Of course, I could just go home and play Gone Home, which I already own and haven’t started yet. If you want to check it out, it’s the Daily Deal at Steam today for $6.79.

Or, if your backlog is massive enough, maybe just grab one of these t-shirts! (more…)
