Daily Scoop: December 7, 2012 – The Spike Video Game Awards are here!
It turns out my poor boyfriend has pneumonia. Pneumonia! And he was taking care of me when I was sick. That poor boy. Tonight, I’m going to pamper him while we’re watching the Spike Video Game Awards. It’s going to be awesome!
Not really much going on deal-wise these days. Amazon still has their featured deals up, with Dark Souls for $15.99, Armored Core V for $21.11, and MLB 09 The Show for $4.99. Those are some good deals!

Daily Scoop – December 6, 2012 – Sick creatures
So I’m finally feeling slightly better – that is, I feel like there might be a person somewhere inside of here. In the meantime, my cat and my boyfriend are both not feeling well! So I was dealing with a sad, crying, horking cat, and a sad, tired, coughing human last night. My poor guys! They’re having a rough time of it. Hopefully tonight will be better for both of them. I think they just need more vitamin H (that’s Hugs!)
There are a couple more featured deals going on at Amazon, though nothing too big. You can get Asura’s Wrath for $17.14, the Capcom Digital Collection for $12.59, and Cradle of Egypt 2, Cradle of Persia, and Cradle of Rome 2 for $14.99. Scoop ’em up!
There are two awesome shirts today – even if one is a repeat! (more…)

Daily Scoop: December 5, 2012 – Recovering!
My apologies for my absence yesterday – I was sick! Much too sick to use a computer, sadly. I am still not feeling great, but that’s not stopping me from bringing you deals and t-shirts! I think you’ll especially like the latter today.
What’s going on with deals? Well, there are a bunch of featured deals at Amazon, including some good ones in dance and fitness! Zumba Fitness Rush and Zumba Fitness 2 are $29.99 each, while Just Dance: Disney Party is only $19.99. Scoop ’em up!
I’ve got two cute t-shirts for you today… (more…)

Daily Scoop: December 3, 2012 – Ugly Christmas sweaters
Well, November came and went far too quickly. I can’t believe people are already counting down to Christmas! And I’m finally doing something I never thought I would do: I’m going Ugly Christmas sweater shopping. Though I may just wear one of the shirts listed below to the party instead. It’s ugly Christmas sweater-themed, after all!
Other than that craziness over at the Cards Against Humanity site today (they announced some special holiday cards!), the Internet has been pretty quiet. Not many deals going on, other than a few featured ones at Amazon. Lego Lord of the Rings is only $29.99, Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two 2 is only $39.99, Ratchet & Clank Collection is $29.99, and Jak & Daxter Collection is just $15. The first two are for the Wii and the last two are for the PlayStation 3. Scoop up those deals!
I’ve got a couple of great shirts for you today! (more…)

Daily Scoop: November 30, 2012 – What were you thankful for?
It’s the last day of November, and if you’re on Facebook or Twitter, you probably saw a lot of posts about what people were grateful for every day. I enjoyed reading everything my friends had to say, and at times even felt a little wistful. What were you the most grateful for, this final month on Earth before the world ends? I know I was grateful for family, friends, my kitties, video games, writing, and the love of my life, Anthony.
Too cheesy? Maybe too cheesy.
What’s up with sales for today? Well, Amazon’s got a few more featured deals for you, with Diablo III going down a few more dollars to $27.99, as well as Dark Souls on sale for $15.99. I’m really tempted to scoop that one up myself!
No t-shirts today – sorry, folks! My wallet isn’t, though. :) Go forth and spend that money on fun this weekend instead!

Daily Scoop – November 29, 2012 – Nearly the weekend
I know that I am too often excited for the weekend, but it’s because it’s when I get a chance to game, and write, and do laundry, and – wait, scratch that. I’m not excited about doing laundry. But I am excited about those other things!
I’m not sure if you noticed this already, but there’s a new Humble Bundle up, and this one is all THQ games – including Saints Row the Third and Darksiders. Yeah, I already bought it. And you should, too!
Amazon’s also got some more deals up, which I’m sure you are not surprised about in the least. They’ve got the Devil May Cry Collection for $16.99, Asura’s Wrath for $17.99, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Check it out!
I’m happy to announce there are several game-related t-shirts today! Hit the jump for more details… (more…)
