Daily Scoop: April 9, 2013 – Come play board games!

Tonight is the weekly board game night over at Redcap’s Corner in Philadelphia, and we’ll be there! We brought Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster, a great Kickstarted game, as well as the crazy fun game Bodger Mania. And there are tons and tons of games in their case, so there’s plenty to play! Stop on by and hang out.

Not too many deals today, other than some of the discounted items over at Amazon in their Spring Outlet Deals. Battlefield 3 Premium Edition is $39.99, The Darkness II is $14.99, Madden NFL 13 is $31.87, and the PC version of Medal of Honor Warfighter is only $17.46. Oh, and if you buy Battlefield 3 and pre-order Battlefield 4, you save $25, so effectively Battlefield 3 is really $14.99 if you do that. So… tempting…

Daily Scoop: April 8, 2013 – Regularly scheduled programming

Well hello, friends! I apologize for my absence – I have been very busy lately. Not that it’s gotten any less busy, but at least I can catch my breath! The good news is that I think Anthony and I have found the apartment we’re going to be moving into. The bad news is that it means we’re going to have to start the process of moving! I’ve been in my place for the last six years, so I am not looking forward to it. But I’m excited about having a new place with him! Woo!

Daily Scoop: April 3, 2013 – Super Dungeon Explorer

Last night was board game night at our local game store, and we ended up playing Super Dungeon Explorer with some friends. Our friend Josh had picked up the latest expansion at PAX East, and we were all eager to try it out. The new characters are amazing, especially the one based around Simon Belmont. I mean really, just look at these minis. Too cute!

Not too many deals going on today, but if you’re really going to press me for something, I would have to say it would be the PS3 250GB Amazon Exclusive Family Entertainment Bundle. It includes PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Ratchet & Clank, Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, a controller, and a remote control.

It’s currently marked down to $249.99 from $399.99, which is a great deal. Scoop it up! Got a few t-shirts as well: (more…)

Daily Scoop: April 2, 2013 – No deals

Well, we survived April Fool’s Day! And without a scratch. I spent the evening playing more BioShock Infinite and then headed to my boyfriend Anthony’s to hang out and watch “Futurama.” It’s an exciting life I lead, for certain.

No deals today! Sorry, folks. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t any sweet t-shirts! Because there are! (more…)

Daily Scoop: April 1, 2013 – April Fool’s Day

I usually dread April Fool’s Day, because I feel like I spend most of the day trying to explain to people that they should stop freaking out over things they read on the Internet because they aren’t true. But today has actually been filled with some fun tricks! Think Geek always has the best stuff, like this Adventure Time BMO Interactive Buddy. I would love to have a living boy to play video games with! But the winner of the day is Cards Against Humanity, for their great new customer support hotline. Call them at (312) 756-0834. You won’t regret it.

Amazon has a bunch of video games deals going on today. Airline Tycoon 2 is $3.54, Hitman Trilogy HD is $24.99, SBK X is $9.45, and Tron: Evolution is $13.09. Scoop ’em up!

Daily Scoop: March 29, 2013 – Bye bye, March

March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb and all that jazz, or so the saying goes. Right now, temperatures are pretty mild, and it’s even making me consider opening my windows when I get home. But I feel like it’s a trap! Either way, it doesn’t matter, because it’s Friday. Woo!

No good deals going on today, which is a good thing. I mean, we just got back from PAX East, and there’s so much great stuff coming out that I don’t even want to look at deals for old games (even if Dishonored is only $29.99 on Amazon right now). I will not give in! I’m still working on Dead Space 3, and Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, and I haven’t even opened BioShock: Infinite yet. Cut me a break, people! My backlog right now is all brand new games.

…I could have worse problems.

Anyway, what I do have is some great new t-shirts for you to check out. Buy ’em all! (more…)

So, my boyfriend Anthony and I have been trying to find an apartment, and it’s been a real adventure. We saw lots of places online, but today we saw our first place in-person, and it was a real doozy. Crappy apartments: 1; Nicole and Anthony: 0. The game’s not over yet, folks!

No good deals today, but you might be interested in what’s up at Amazon’s Pre-order Central.

Daily Scoop: March 27, 2013 – Still missing PAX East

I’m entering the post-PAX East depression phase, where I realize just how far the next one really is. Well, I mean, there’s always PAX AUS, but do you have any idea how much money it costs to get to Australia? I’ll give you a hint: it’s a freaking lot of money.
