Daily Scoop: February 27, 2013 – Halfway there
It’s always rough having a full work week after having two partial work weeks. This week is going by as slow as anything! I’m hoping to get in some gaming time tonight, but homework is making it so that I can’t have any fun.
Looking for some good deals? You might want to check out the big sale going on at GameFly right now. They have tons of used games on sale for under $20, including Assassin’s Creed Revelations, Medal of Honor Warfigher, and Spec Ops: The Line. Scoop ’em up!
Lots of great t-shirts available today: (more…)

Daily Scoop: February 26, 2013 – Go away, winter!
Yet another cold day is sweeping by. I’m getting some kind of cold, so of course, no matter what the temperature is outside, I’m freezing! I wish I was home with a blanket, my cats, and Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. And maybe some hot chocolate, and marshmallows, and some mac ‘n cheese… What can I say? I’m a simple lady.
Not a lot of deals really today – GameStop’s weekly ad has some great stuff. You can get Dead Space 3, Far Cry 3, and Halo 4 for just $39.99 each. They’re also having a pretty huge Skylanders Giants sale – starter packs are $10 off and you can get a free sidekick when you purchase a battle pack!
Did somebody say t-shirts? (more…)

I hate you, Monday. I hate how quickly you bring an end to my beloved weekend. Can’t you just give us some time together? We’ve earned it!
There are some good deals going on today, if you look hard enough! Best Buy is selling a Halo 4-Branded 2000 Microsoft Points Card with 400 Free Points for $24.99.

Daily Scoop: February 22, 2013 – Friday is upon us
It’s finally Friday! Friday for me means catching up on homework, working on projects (in and out of school), playing some games, and hopefully watching some Adventure Time. I’m also feeling a bit under the weather, so we’ll see if I can even make it that far before passing out! A girl can hope, am I right?
Looking for some cheap games? You might want to check out Amazon’s digital deals. They’ve got some great digital deals packs, like the 2K Strategy Super Pack for $19.99, the 2K Shooter Pack for $19.99, the 2K Mega Pack for $24.99, and the Rockstar Classics for $19.99.

Daily Scoop: February 21, 2013 – PlayStation 4 has arrived!
Well, it hasn’t physically arrived, but it has metaphorically arrived, along with a new controller, and a slew of new games! It was all announced last night at Sony’s big event. Check out our complete coverage of Sony’s “Meeting 2013” for all the hottest news!
In fact, if you go to Amazon, you can already sign up to be notified when you can purchase a PlayStation 4. Hopefully, that information will be forthcoming at E3, or maybe even at PAX East or GDC! Oh, to have a reveal at PAX East…
Not really any deals today, but lots of t-shirts! (more…)

Daily Scoop: February 20, 2013 – Long absence edition
Hello, faithful friends! I apologize for my long absence. I was super busy last week preparing for IndieCade East up in New York City! It was an absolute blast. I got to play Bloop, Gorogoa, Johann Sebastian Joust, and lots more, including my all-time favorite game of the weekend, BaraBariBall. Just look at all this glee!
Of course, spending an entire weekend playing video games made me want to do nothing but play more video games when I got home, which is unfortunate when you have to do anything other than play video games. But at least there are a handful of deals this week! Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is $49.99 at GameStop this week, which is a great deal for the beautiful RPG. I can’t put it down whenever I’m near my PlayStation 3. Check out more details in their Weekly Ad. Amazon has a few new deals in video games this week as well. The Hitman: Absolution – Professional Edition is $49.99, Paper Mario: Sticker Star is $29.99, and Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is $39.99. Scoop ’em up!
Lots of great t-shirts for sale today that are video game related! (more…)

Daily Scoop: February 11, 2013 – And the rain rain rain came down down down…
It’s a rainy, dreary day here in Philadelphia, but my spirits are high! Why, you ask? Well, Ray Merkler and I just proudly announced the return of GameLoop Philly, a local self-organizing conference for game developers. Oh, and I have the day off – I spent the morning at the doctor’s office, but now I’m free to do whatever I want, which includes playing Dead Space 3. Yeah, I’m just fine with the rain.
Looking for a deal? Well, there are a few games on sale for $19.99 over at Best Buy. You can pick up the Angry Birds Trilogy, Lalaloopsy: Carnival of Friends, or The Trash Pack. Really exciting, I know!
There are also a few deals at Amazon, but not many. Disney Epic Mickey is just $12.99, and you can also pick up Battlefield 3, Hitman: Absolution, or Sleeping Dogs for $29.99. Scoop ’em up!
Two good shirts for sale today… (more…)

Daily Scoop: February 8, 2013 – The snow is coming
According to the weather report, and everyone who likes to engage in small talk, there is a large quantity of snow headed my way. The only reason this is upsetting to me is because it might cancel my Dungeons & Dragons game tomorrow, which would be a sad thing indeed. But if it did, then I could sit at home and play all the video games that have been piling up over the last few weeks, which is a happy thing. And it would also give me lots of time to work on homework, which is sad but also good. I mean… you get me.
There are no deals today, so instead of shopping for games online, you should go look at these awesome Adventure Time costumes that my friend Darin found on the Internet. They’re algebraic!
Just one t-shirt today… (more…)
