Happy Monday, everyone! The weekend flew by too quickly, as always. I’m happy to say I had a great birthday, though! Friday night, we went to a friend’s going away party, and he got me a surprise birthday cake! Saturday I had to do homework, which made me sad, but then went to play board games with some friends, which made me happy! And then Sunday was a book club meeting, and after that Dead Space 3 all night, interrupted only by The Walking Dead. Good friends, good fun, good cake!

Let’s see… what kind of deals are there? Well, Best Buy has some sales going on right now, including Starcraft II for $19.99. GameStop is having some sales as well, like Aliens: Colonial Marines, Crysis 3, Forza Horizons, and Far Cry 3 for $39.99 each.

There are quite a few t-shirts available to pick from today! (more…)

It’s true, Internet – today is my birthday! And it falls on a Friday, which is pretty much the best day to have a birthday ever. And it’s Ralph “The Father of Video Games” Baer’s birthday too!

I’m spending the evening with some friends at a going away party for a pal who is headed out on a road trip to GDC. Then tomorrow I hope to see Nullsleep, but there’s a big board game night event as well, so I have to decide! Too many wonderful choices. Not a complaint!

So what’s happening on my birthday? Not a darn thing. No video game deals. And I’ve decided I’m not going to buy any of those games in my cart until I beat at least one more. I spent last night with Dead Space 3, trying to give it another chance, but I snuck in some Fire Emblem: Awakening when Isaac wasn’t looking. I know, I know, I live on the edge!

My birthday also brings good t-shirts! Though I’ll admit it, I don’t want to buy any. Good or bad? You decide! (more…)

I just got my Ni No Kuni-themed t-shirt in the mail last night! It’s proper tidy, mun. I decided against getting the other two that were up, although I really wanted them! Just like I still want that Ombre Noire shirt. Must… resist… purchasing… !

I didn’t see any deals today, though I will say that Gamer Deals posted their Deals in a Nutshell for March, and on it, it says that Amazon is giving a $30 bonus credit if you pre-order BioShock: Infinite. So far, I haven’t been able to find that deal on Amazon’s site, and I’ve contacted Gamer Deals for more info, but I haven’t heard anything back. If that deal is extended to the Premium Edition, I am all over that.

As always, some more good t-shirts to tempt you: (more…)

My class isn’t finished yet, but my grant proposal is nearly done! I’ve been dreading write this paper since I started the program a few years ago. And now it’s nearly behind me! It’s a joyous day, despite being a wintry mix outside. I am going to video game so much tonight my hands are going to cramp! Oh wait… I still have homework… well, I’ll just game a little.

No deals today, but I’ll tell you what I’m watching in my Amazon cart, if you really want to know. First is the aforementioned Bit.Trip Complete for $10.76. Now that the DS sequel is out, I’m really tempted to get Castlevania: Lords of Shadow for $19.59. And I really want to get Dead Island for $14.49, as well as Max Payne 3 for $17.77. Stop being so cheap, games I want! I mean, unless Dishonored wants to go on super sale… I won’t complain about that.

I’ve got a few good t-shirts for you: (more…)

Well, we made it, everybody. We made it all the way to Friday. Can you believe it? Sadly, I’ve got a weekend full of homework ahead of me, but I’m going to reward myself with video games every moment I can. I am a tired lass, and this cold is tenacious, so hopefully Isaac Clarke can help me out. Oh wait… I think we’re about to go somewhere super cold. Colder than space!

No deals today, but that’s a good thing: we just finished a hectic month of releases, and we’re about to get swamped with another one. Your backlog could use a break, friend. Trust me on this one! You’re going to need all of your strength for March.

And let’s not forget today’s t-shirts! (more…)

Wow! It’s already the last day of February. So many great games came out this month, and even more are coming out next month! 2013 certainly is starting off with a bang… and never enough time to play all the games. Boo!

Want some more games for your embarrassingly huge backlog? Why not try some of the digital deals over at Amazon? The Desert to Sea Bundle is $19.99 and features BioShock, BioShock 2, and Spec Ops: The Line. Or you could get Max Payne Complete for $19.99, which includes Max Payne 3 and the season pass. Or maybe you’re dying to get your hands on XCOM: Enemy Unknown – in which case, you could get it here for just $37.49. Not bad!

Two t-shirts for you today, one of which I’ve already purchased: (more…)
