Most Recent: Daily Scoop

Helloooooooooooooooooooooooo nurse Friday! I can’t believe I made it. It was touch and go for a while there, but I survived the week. Now I get to play Borderlands 2 all weekend go to a wedding and then a Canadian Thanksgiving party. Hopefully I will find some time in there to continue my good fight against Handsome Jack. All work and no play makes Nicole something something!

Nothing up for deals today, but that’s ok. You’re going to need to save your money for next week, when Dishonored, Retro City Rampage, and XCOM: Enemy Unknown all come out. On the same day. Are you crying yet? You should be crying.

Other than that, you should totally check out these awesome t-shirts! (more…)

It’s another day of no deals, only this time, there aren’t any nice t-shirts, either. So I guess I’ll have to be creative and think of something else to tell you about. I can do that, right? Sure I can!

My pal Jake Vander Ende has a really cool Etsy store you should check out, called Spriteborne. He makes incredible, unique t-shirt designs using his love of video games, and adding in some stencils and bleach. I have been a huge fan of his shirts since I first met him at the Smithsonian exhibit on the art of video games. My favorite shirt has to be the Castle Crashers one, which is just too adorable.

That’s all I’ve got for today, unless you want to read about ant videos. Oh, and the Homestuck Kickstarter got funded today. Agents and exiles, rejoice!

It’s Wednesday, even though it feels like it should be Friday. The manacles of time chain us down, binding us to our narrow worldview and creating in us a vacuum only filled by love and video games. And when love is not available, video games are all that we have.

Ok, I’m being a bit melodramatic. I blame it on Homestuck. Also, did you know there’s a Homestuck Video Game Kickstarter? Smash open your swollen porkhollow and surrender your boondollars. I want those Midnight Crew playing cards. How about you?

Not many deals going on today – at least, nothing really all that useful. Amazon’s got some sales going on, including lots of stuff for under $10. Cheap doesn’t always mean good, though. I mean, do you really want a copy of Duke Nukem Forever, or Shaun White Skateboarding, or Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian? You do??? Well then go scoop them up for under $10!

No game-related shirts today, readers. Sorry! Hopefully the daily shirt gods will bless us tomorrow.

At least, that’s what the grocery stores and the houses on my block are starting to look like. With Pumpkin Spice Kisses from Hershey’s, and Candy Corn Oreos from Nabisco, it’s going to be an interesting time for my digestive track. I could just exercise some will power, but I think we’ve had that conversation before.

Not much going on today, other than it is literally the last few hours to get the Humble Indie Bundle VI! Purchasing this nets you some awesome games, including local-grown Jamestown and the ludicrously addictive Shatter. Plop down $10, skew your donation however you want it to go, and reap the benefits. It’s stupidly easy.

Amazon’s got lots and lots of video game stuff for 50% off, including Mass Effect 3 for $19.99, Asura’s Wrath for $18.65, and Dark Souls for $19.99. Wow! Those are great deals. Scoop ’em up!

Here are a few good t-shirts for you: (more…)

Well, if it didn’t feel like Fall before, it definitely does now. The trees are changing, the air is crisp, and I’ve been wearing hoodies for the last few days straight. Halloween decorations are up, and there’s even a plethora of Halloween-themed junk food out: Pumpkin Spice Kisses, Cadbury Scream Eggs, and – the most elusive of all – Candy Corn Oreos, which I can’t find anywhere. Stop hiding from me, sugar!

Let’s see, what deals are out on the web today? Well, the PC download of Sleeping Dogs is just $29.99 today on Amazon. It’s $39.99 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In case you had any doubts, I strongly encourage this purchase.

Over at Best Buy, there’s a buy one, get one free sale on Skylanders figures. It looks like they’ve got Hex, Lightning Rod, Zook, Dino-Rang, Stealth Elf, Flameslinger, Double Trouble, Sonic Boom, Whirlwind, Wrecking Ball, Camo, Eruptor, Cynder, Warnado, Stump Smash, and Prism Break. That’s a lot to choose from!

Just two t-shirts for you today on the daily shirt sites, but also some discounted t-shirts as well! (more…)

Friday is here at last! My boyfriend and I are heading down to Maryland this weekend with some friends to play Dungeons & Dragons. There’s a big Battle Interactive going down, and we’re going to play in it. And no, that isn’t a euphemism for LARPing – it’s where a bunch of tables work towards a common goal in order to try to win a big battle. I mean, I don’t know if people get dressed up or not – maybe they do. But I’m not bringing any weapons, fake or otherwise.

Some interesting deals are on the Internet today! Game Deal Daily has an offer you likely can’t refuse – for $34.95 (free shipping!), they’ll send you eight random GameCube games. They’ll all be random, and only one will be a sports game, they’ve promised. This sounds like either the awesomest idea or the absolute worst idea. If I had disposable income, I would definitely do it, though. As crazy as it sounds.

Amazon’s also having a great deal, which they’re calling the Xbox 360 Entertainment Bundle. For just $229, you get:

• Xbox 360 4GB Console
• Xbox Live 3 Month Gold Membership
• Xbox 360 Media Remote
• $10 Amazon Instant Video Credit
• 3 Xbox Live Arcade Games ($30 Value)

This is a pretty darn good deal, especially if you’re Xbox 360-less, like me. Scoop it up!

Wrapping this week up are two game-related t-shirts! (more…)

Thursday is always such a tease. It’s not quite the weekend, but it’s so close that it’s tempting. We know there’s still one more full day until we can have our temporary, brief freedom, and that it will drag on forever. The weekend itself will be whisked by in a flash, and we’ll be back into the week before we know it. But hey, at least we are closer to it today than we were yesterday!

No deals today, folks. Sorry! I’ve personally been fixated the last few days on Call of Duty: Black Ops II and whether or not I should pre-order it. The Nuketown 2025 map is just taunting me at this point. I want to play it! Give it to me.

Two shirts for you today… (more…)

It’s another beautiful day here in Philadelphia! Beautiful but busy. Last night was a fun Girl Geek Dinner Board Game Night, where some ladies took over Redcap’s Corner. Tonight I’m back there for Encounters, and then I’ll spend the rest of the night playing either Borderlands 2 or Torchlight II. It’s a happy humpday!

What’s going on in the world of deals? Well, Gamestop is having two pretty good deals – one is get a $25 gift card with purchase of a PlayStation Vita (Wi-Fi), and the other is a $25 gift card with the purchase of the PlayStation Vita Wi-Fi Madden NFL 13 Bundle, both of which are $249.99. Scoop ’em up… especially if you want to check out LittleBigPlanet Vita!

Also, it’s Gadget Week over at Thinkgeek! Check it out for some awesome deals on geeky gadgets, like the U-Socket USB Wallplug, the MagnoGrip, and the Karotz – Wifi Interactive Smart Rabbit. Gadgets are awesome!

Just one t-shirt today, but it’s a good one: (more…)
