It’s another beautiful Tuesday! I’m exhausted from playing in the Diablo III beta all night. I know, I know, I’m late to the party, but I don’t care. It’s so much fun that I can’t put the mouse down!

Amazon’s got a bunch of deals going on right now, like:

Now is a good time to stock up on some cheap games to keep you busy through the gaming droughts!

Lots of great gaming shirts today… (more…)

Not even the fact that it’s Friday the 13th can get me down today! Because no matter what the date, it’s Friday, and that means weekend! Yes, I did spend an hour in Staples last night printing out a copy of Cards Against Humanity to play tonight with my boyfriend and our friends. And yes, I did just get a beta key for Diablo III, which I will be playing every free moment. And yes, I do have D&D tomorrow. Weekend GO!

No deals today, but I did stumble upon Amazon’s Retro Gaming Store, which was definitely made by someone with a sense of humor! It says “All your base are belong to us” at the top, and has games for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis, and more. At the bottom, it’s got a section for the bestselling chiptune MP3 albums, including two of my favorites, Anamanaguchi and ComputeHer. It’s like they raided my brain to make this page!

No gaming shirts today, but there are two worth mentioning! (more…)

Well, PAX East has come and gone, and it’s taken me this long to realize it’s already over. I usually cry at the closing ceremonies, but I missed them this year, so I guess I didn’t really get the closure I needed. I was riding a wave of happiness the whole way home from Boston! But now it’s dawning on me that it won’t be back for another year. Sigh…

Not really much in the way of deals today. If you want to start thinking about the future, Amazon’s pre-order and new release bonus offers can be pretty darn tempting. They’ve got a $10 credit and a bonus for Borderlands 2, an awesome art book for Game of Thrones, and a special skin in Lollipop Chainsaw, among others. I’m still holding out for the Borderlands 2 collectors edition, which is going to destroy my bank!
