Daily Scoop: August 16, 2011 – Another day, another night of Borderlands
So, Ryan Littlefield and I were up late again playing Borderlands. Shocking, I know. We collected a bunch of brains, levelled up a few times, and finished all the missions in the first DLC. Woo! Oh, yeah, and there’s also a teaser for Borderlands 2 which has me freaking out. It’s a good day to love treasure hunting on Pandora!

They’ve also got their new weekly deals up – Dungeon Siege III is $32.99 on consoles and $25.99 on PC, Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom is $14.99 on PS3 and Xbox 360, and to top it all off, they just announced their Summer Road Trip Handheld Gaming Event.

Daily Scoop: August 12, 2011 – Please buy Pokemon!
Hello everyone, and welcome to a beautiful Friday! Today, my biggest advice to you is: please buy Pokemon HeartGold or Pokemon SoulSilver! They are currently $24.99 at GameStop, and they come with Pokewalkers! What does that mean? That means they come with pedometers that look like Pokeballs that you can put your Pokemon on and level them up as you walk around. Has your brain exploded yet? This also means that if you see me at PAX, we can connect our Pokewalkers and our Pokemon can play together. Yay!
Also up for today is Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games, which is the Rock Band 3 Wireless Fender Mustang PRO-Guitar Controller for Xbox 360 by MadCatz. It’s $92.99 down from $149.99 today, and has an “advanced tilt sensor for Overdrive activation.” Bring the noise!
Today’s shirt.w00t is entitled “The Perfect Moment,” and captures my life so succinctly: (more…)

D&D was amazing last night! I’m playing a Bladesinger, which reminds me a lot of the Sorcerer class from Final Fantasy V. It’s a perfect combination of a wizard and a fighter. I love it!
Anyway, what else is up today? Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games is Namco’s Splatterhouse for the PS3 and Xbox 360. It’s on sale today for just $19.99, so bring home the blood and gore!
