Daily Scoop: September 10, 2012 – A+ edition!

Posted on September 10, 2012 by Nicole Kline

Woohoo! So all that hard work this term paid off – I got an A+ in a class I took! I’m so excited I can hardly contain myself. And now I’m officially 1/3 of the way done with this program! Just ten more classes to go, and this masters is MINE.

Anyway, how was your weekend, Internet? I spent it playing games, playing more games, and then playing some more games. Those games included Rainbow Moon, Dungeons & Dragons, A Link to the Past, and Cards Against Humanity. Pretty great list, right? Oh and we also saw Expendables 2, which was way more fun than I expected it to be. Chuck Norris stole the show.

What deals have I got for you today? Well, Amazon is selling Radiant Historia for $24.99! This DS game by Atlus is absolutely amazing and everyone should own it. It’s a time-travelling RPG with awesome characters, a great battle system, and a haunting soundtrack. Seriously – buy it! Oh, and if you pre-order World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, you can get into the Beta. If you’re going to buy it anyway, you might as well pre-order, am I right?

Check out the t-shirts I found after the break! (more…)

Daily Scoop: September 7, 2012 – Get ready to rock!

Posted on September 7, 2012 by Nicole Kline

We made it! We survived to the weekend. Great job, everyone! Another work week in the rear-view mirror. Time to go home and game myself silly.

Speaking of silly gaming, have you seen the Borderlands demake? No? Well go do it. Don’t worry, I’ll wait.

Back? Great! Sad to say there aren’t really any deals going on today. Well, no new deals. Old deals from earlier this week are still happening, so go scope those out!

Some shirts and a cool bonus after the break! (more…)

Daily Scoop: September 6, 2012 – Nearly the weekend!

Posted on September 6, 2012 by Nicole Kline

Whoa! Tomorrow is Friday already! Welcome to the weekend. I love short weeks. In fact, I think it would be great if all weeks could be shorties like this one. Wishful thinking…

Let’s see… not a lot going on, deals-wise. But you can check out what Amazon’s got for under $30. There’s some good stuff there, including Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception for the staggeringly low price of $19.81. Whew. Scoop it up!

A couple of really rad shirts wait for you after the jump! (more…)

Daily Scoop: September 5, 2012 – More games, more problems

Posted on September 5, 2012 by Nicole Kline

I love games. Video games, board games, card games… it’s becoming kind of a problem, if you know what I’m saying. If I had more time to play them, it might be alleviated a bit. But I cram all my free time with them. Last night, it was Cards Against Humanity (with the new expansion!) and Super Dungeon Explore, with just a pinch of Ascension. Tonight? Dungeons and Dragons and Rainbow Moon, and maybe Chrono Trigger if I’m lucky. My heart is not complaining. My classwork and wallet are.

Anyway! A big thanks to Mike Ryan for his Bonus Scoop he wrote yesterday about Kid Icarus: Uprising. Way to keep a sharp eye out!

What have we got for you today? Well, Best Buy is having a buy two, get one free sale on 3DS games, including Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. I started buying some of them until I remembered I’m supposed to stop buying games for real, and then I had an argument with myself while holding my wallet and staring at the computer screen.

This is really what my life is like.

Amazon is still having their back to school sale, including Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for $39.99, the ultimate edition of Fallout: New Vegas for $29.99, and Max Payne 3 for $39.99. Scoop ’em up, folks!

Just one cool t-shirt for you today… (more…)

Bonus Scoop: September 4, 2012 – Kid Icarus: Uprising for $14.99

Posted on September 4, 2012 by Mike Ryan

Best Buy‘s current Deal of the Day is the Nintendo’s own Kid Icarus: Uprising. The title, which normally retails for $39.99, is on sale for the next nine hours or so for a measly $14.99. And yes, the 3DS game comes packed with a 3DS stand. With almost universal positive reviews, this is definitely one angelic deal (Get it? He’s an angel!). Plus, it’s not to early to get some of that holiday shopping done early!

If you’re interested in a wrist-sprainingly good time at a moderate price, scoop it up!

Daily Scoop: September 4, 2012 – Hiatus over!

Posted on September 4, 2012 by Nicole Kline

Hi there! Did you miss me? I was on vacation for the last 10 days, and it was amazing. I’m sure that you were sad and missed me, but fear not! I have returned, to bring you the best deals and the cutest game-related t-shirts on the Internet.

It’s been a really busy week for me. I did a lot of homework, played a lot of video games, read some books, played some board games and Dungeons and Dragons, and, oh yeah: my friend launched the Kickstarter I’m involved in. He’s making a game and I’m writing the story. Get in on the magic!

First up: Toys R Us is having a sale on some new and new-ish games. The sale is two for $60, which is pretty darn good for some of these titles. Take a look:

  • Prototype 2 for PS3 and Xbox 360 (retail is $49.99)
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for PS3 and Xbox 360 (retail is still $59.99)
  • Max Payne 3 for PS3 and Xbox 360 (retail is $59.99)
  • Darksiders II for PS3 and Xbox 360 (retail is $59.99)
  • Mass Effect 3 for PS3 and Xbox 360 (retail is $39.99)
  • The Amazing Spider-Man for PS3 and Xbox 360 (retail is $59.99)
  • NCAA Football 13 for PS3 and Xbox 360 (retail is $59.99)
  • Sleeping Dogs for PS3 and Xbox 360 (retail is $59.99)

Those are some pretty amazing savings. I want Darksiders II and Max Payne 3, but I also want to catch up on my ludicrously huge backlog, so go figure.

Next up: today’s awesome t-shirts! (more…)

Posted on August 27, 2012 by Nicole Kline

Woohoo! My vacation is in full swing. What have I done so far? Well, I finished up Sleeping Dogs, worked on some Rainbow Moon, and got my hands on New Super Mario Bros. 2. I may never resurface. Oh, and I went to a dinner party, played some Dungeons and Dragons, and got to play the awesome new card game Smash Up, which is amazing! It’s been a busy couple of days. It’s going to be one of those vacations, I can tell already…
