Most Recent: Daily Scoop

Hurricane Sandy sure left the East Coast in a daze. Philadelphia didn’t get too much damage – a few downed trees here and there – but all in all, we’re OK. My boyfriend and I had two days off, so we just played a boatload of Borderlands 2, watched some Venture Bros, and did some cleaning. It was pretty fantastic.

Oh, and speaking of Venture Bros, we were Hank and Dean for Halloween – pictures forthcoming.

Not a lot of deals going on today. There are some pre-order bonuses being advertised at Amazon, like Raul Mendez’s backstory and the new Nuketown map when you pre-order Call of Duty: Black Ops II, or the customizable “Web” armor skin for Halo 4. Oh, and they’re also having a $50 sale on select Xbox 360 consoles, including the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Halo 4 bundle. Scoop ’em up!

There are a couple of good t-shirts out there: (more…)

It’s been an exciting time here on the East Coast these last few days! Hurricane Sandy is here, and tonight, we’ll be getting the worst of her. In preparation, most places of business in the city of Philadelphia are closed, as is the public transportation system. My boyfriend and I decided to stay in and just play more Borderlands 2 all day. I’m a little nervous about the worst of this hurricane and what it’s going to do (which should happen in about 8 hours or so), but for the most part, it’s been a much-needed day of rest and relaxation. My cats are happy we’re home, too.

Not really many deals going on as far as I can see. Amazon’s still running some sweet Halloween Deals, so if you want some scary games, or just some recent games that are discounted, check it out. Other than that, there’s not much happening. Oh, except the new DLC for Sleeping Dogs is out tomorrow. That’s what I’m saving my dollars for!

Three sweet gaming shirts today, though one is a reprint! (more…)

Anytime anyone says “Hurricane Sandy,” all I can think about are pecan sandies, and it makes me hungry. I don’t know if that’s the normal reaction – I guess most people think “get to the store for bread and milk!” But for me, it’s all about cookies. And besides, I prefer calling it the Frankenstorm, if I must refer to it.

Not much going on deals-wise, other than the 72 hour sale at Square Enix. They’ve discounted a bunch of games, including Final Fantasy XIII-2, Sleeping Dogs, and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. I’ve wanted that last game since PAX East but it’s always so darn expensive! Maybe this weekend I will cave and pick it up.

I’ve got a couple of cute game-related shirts for you today! (more…)

Do you know what I don’t do often? Mail packages. In fact, I use snail mail relatively infrequently these days. But I need to mail something to the UK, and guess what? It’s really expensive. I had no idea how much money it cost to physically get something across a giant ocean. It’s a dilly of a pickle!

In other news, our first session of the new D&D Encounters season was last night! This new season will be incorporating elements of D&D Next, the new edition of D&D. So far, it seems pretty interesting, but we’ll have to wait and see how the sessions pan out. I’ll be the DM again, which I’m a little nervous about, but I’m hoping it will be a learning experience!

And now, to the heart of the matter! Today’s deals are sort of just a rehash from earlier this week. Remember those sales I said Amazon was having on games? Well, they’ve added a boatload more to the sale, which they’re calling “Halloween Deals.” You can see the complete list here. Scoop ’em up!

Finally, there are a couple of good t-shirts up today for your perusal: (more…)

We made it to Wednesday, everyone! Pretty sure that gives us enough experience to level. I might even get to learn the move “Relax.” But Nicole already knows four moves! What move do I get rid of? Sometimes, Pokemon eerily tells the story of my life…

Anyway, just one awesome deal today, and that’s over at Steam. You can get every Assassin’s Creed game on the PC right now for just $38.74. So that’s Assassin’s Creed: Director’s Cut Edition, Assassin’s Creed 2 Deluxe Edition, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, and Assassin’s Creed Revelations, along with some AC Revelations DLC. If you were waiting for a sale to get them all before the next round of games come out, this is your lucky day!

Two great t-shirts available today: (more…)

I’ve been having a rough time of it lately. For some reason, no matter how much or little sleep I get, I’ve been exhausted. Sure, it could be all the things I’m doing, or my insanely vivid dreams, or the change in seasons. But the problem is that I don’t know what it is, or how to counter it. So today I decided that instead of being miserably tired and dragging all day, I was just going to power through it. So, take that, exhaustion! I am just going to ignore you. That may turn me into a narcoleptic, but whatever. Bring it on.

Let’s see, what are the deals today? Well, Thinkgeek is having a ludicrous sale, with some items up to 75% off! There are lots of Portal and Portal 2 items on sale, including Portal Turret LED Flashlight w/ Sound (20% off) and the Portal Weighted Companion Cube Plush (33% off). There’s other game-related stuff, too, like this Minecraft Creeper Shirt, Super Mario Yahtzee, and oh my gosh Quarriors is 50% off at $24.99!! Holy crap! BUY IT!! Right now!!

My head just exploded.

Also sorely tempting my wallet today are all these t-shirts: (more…)

Well I’ve been a busy lady! We played some Dungeons and Dragons as well as danced the night away at a wedding Saturday, and Sunday was full of tabletop RPGs and watching The Walking Dead at our favorite local comic book store. A lot of fun, a lot of laughter, and even a chance for some sleep in there. Oh, and gaming, of course!

I’ve been playing a lot of Borderlands 2 with my boyfriend – he’s the Mechromancer and I’m playing the Gunzerker this time around. I’m also completely engrossed in Pokemon Black 2. Really, I’m paying attention to you, I’m just grinding. I can multitask!

This week has been dragging on for a million years. Or at least for two weeks. I think someone tricked us and removed our weekend and made us work a ten-day week. Someone needs to fix this atrocity this instant!

No deals today, but this awesome NES mod will absolutely blow your mind. As my friend Darin called it, it’s a Ninception!

Two game-related shirts up today, folks! (more…)
