Most Recent: Daily Scoop

So, the latest season of Encounters ends tonight, which is kind of sad, but not too bad! It was a campaign of all evil characters, so it’s not really all that hard to let it go. It was my first experience DMing in fourth edition, and doing so for characters trying to backstab each other can get a little challenging. But it was a fun time anyway, and I’m glad I got to do it! The new season starts up next week, and I’m looking forward to the changes they’ve made for that as well. Hooray D&D!

No deals to speak of today. But that’s ok with me – I’m up to my ears in games right now. Oh, wait! There is one good thing: Odin Sphere is 50% off on the PSN this week only. Trust me, you want to scoop this one up.

Just one shirt today! (more…)

Welcome to yet another exciting week! I have deals, and funny websites, and t-shirts, and so much more for you! Well, ok, not really so much more. But I can tell you about my weekend! During this fabulous weekend, I successfully drank a Guinness without getting sick, beat Borderlands 2 (and started a new game as a Gunzerker), saw Looper, and finished the twelfth Dresden Files book. Whew. Oh, and watched the first episode of season three of The Walking Dead. I’ve been a busy lady!

Amazon is just having the same deals they had last week, except not as many of them. They’re still running deal for the Xbox 360 Entertainment Bundle – for $229, you get the Xbox 360 4GB console, an Xbox Live 3 month Gold Membership, the Xbox 360 media remote, a $10 Amazon Instant Video Credit, and 3 Xbox Live Arcade games. They’ve still also got the $30 credit offer when you purchase the Madden NFL 13 PlayStation Vita Wi-Fi Bundle. Best Buy is having an Xbox 360 bundle sale. You can get $50 off the 250GB Holiday Bundle, the 4GB Kinect Holiday Bundle, and the 250GB Kinect Holiday Bundle, each of which comes with different games. Scoop ’em up! Or at least, you know. One of them.

As for funny websites, check out this awesome Pokemon art project, in which webcomic creator Noelle Stevenson draws Pokemon as they are described to her. Stevenson, who doesn’t know the Pokemons, draws them from their descriptions, and hilarity ensues. Let me just put it this way: the line “wow it looks like Crash Bandicoot went through the stupid machine” had me in tears today.

And now, t-shirt time! (more…)

The weekend is almost upon us! I hope that your weekend is full of delightful fall weather, sweaters, kittens, puppies, candy, and perhaps even a warm spiced drink. Oh, and video games, of course! I’m going to be doing as much gaming as I can fit in with my busy schedule. We’ve got plans to see Looper at some point, and I’m going to a Guinness tasting, which should be nice. Here’s to the busy weekends of the fall!

There are a few good video game deals going on over at Go Hastings right now, including 25% off used games. Put in the code 250K for that one. For some reason, they’re advertising a deal on the game Brink on their games page. Protip: do not buy this garbage. Please!

Finally, I’ve got some great t-shirts for you today! (more…)

Well today is a very special day – it’s the eleventh day of the tenth month of the twelfth year, making it 10/11/12! That’s pretty nifty. Too bad I’m squandering it at home laying in bed, filled with sickness and sadness. At least I get to play Borderlands 2 all day, but… still. It sucks being sick.

You know what else sucks? Zero deals! There are no deals today. I mean, that’s perfectly acceptable, in my opinion… I’ve already got my hands full with Borderlands 2, Retro City Rampage, and Torchlight II, not to mention Pokemon Black 2. I really don’t need anything else right now!

I especially don’t need more t-shirts, but there are a whole bunch of great ones today! (more…)

I know I make that title for a lot of scoops that are on Wednesdays. But it’s simply because I’m so grateful that it’s Wednesday that I can’t help but draw attention to it! I just want it to hurry up and be the weekend so I can catch up on some sleep and possibly see Looper. I want a time travel video game based on that, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt! Now that would definitely be something I’d buy in a heartbeat.

Ahem! Anyway! GameStop has some deals going on right now. You can get Dynasty Warriors 7 for $24.99, Dark Souls for $19.99, or Fable II used for $2.99. Scoop ’em up!

And now, the moment you’ve been waiting for… t-shirts! (more…)

Whew. It’s fake Monday for me today – since I was off yesterday, today is the first day of my work week, which means it will feel like a Monday. Which can be bad or good, depending on how the day itself goes! But I am exhausted after all the cleaning and gaming I did yesterday. I finished the night off with some Alphas and Dresden Files, and then crashed hard, and haven’t been able to wake up since. It doesn’t help that it’s a gloomy day, either! Everything is so blah. Hopefully board game night tonight will be a ray of sunshine!

What deals are up today? Well, Amazon’s got a few new ones. First up, they’ve still got the Xbox 360 Entertainment Bundle up. For $229, you get the Xbox 360 4GB console, an Xbox LIVE 3 month Gold Membership, the Xbox 360 media remote, a $10 Amazon Instant Video Credit, and 3 Xbox Live Arcade games. They’re also offering a $30 credit if you purchase the Madden NFL 13 PlayStation Vita Wi-Fi Bundle. You can get $30 off the G155-Gaming and Entertainment Mobile System as well, and I saved the best for last: Max Payne 3 for $25. Scoop that up, for sure.

I’ve also got a couple of good t-shirts for you today: (more…)

So today is one of those strange days that’s a holiday for some but not for all. I am off today, so I’ve spent the day cleaning my apartment, finding some ludicrously awesome treasures (including some signed Penny Arcade and Rooster Teeth stuff, as well as a Guinness pint glass!) and playing lots of Borderlands 2. I’m taking a break now to get some writing done, and that’s where you come in!

First off, PAX East badge sales are LIVE! Hotels went up quietly, and then badge registration. It’s been a heck of a day trying to get everything coordinated! But right now, my friends and I are ready to go. Now we just have to wait a little over five months for it to get here. Hurry up!!

Today’s deals are pretty tepid – just the Amazon clearance sale. There are some gems in there if you’re willing to dig, like Silent Hill: Downpour for $16.03 on Xbox 360, Kirby’s Epic Yarn for $17.98, and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow for $20.87 on PS3. Scoop ’em up!

Two awesome shirts are up today, even if one is a repeat: (more…)
