Bad news: it’s Monday again. Good news: Amazon has an awesome Deal of the Day in video games today, which is Bulletstorm. EA’s controversial, nut-shot-oriented FPS is just $39.99 today on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and $39.95 on PC. Considering the game is less than two weeks old, I’d say a $20 discount is a pretty good deal. If I didn’t already have a massive backlog, I might consider buying it myself! It also seems to be a lot like a rip-off of Borderlands, which I’ve already spent over 50 hours in, so I could instead spend that money on DLC and extend that experience. Decisions, decisions…

The only other thing I have to report on is that today’s Qwertee shirt is too cute:

I wonder what he’s playing?

Pokemon Black and White are out today!! It’s a rainy Sunday morning here in Philadelphia, but all that means is that if you’re using Fire-type Pokemon, their abilities are weakened! This may mean that you decided against choosing Tepig, the Fire Pig Pokemon, as your starter, but with that little corkscrew tail, how could you resist??? If you haven’t picked up the games yet, Amazon is still offering a $10 bonus for each, and if you are the kind of player who likes strategy guides, the official volume one is only $11.10 on Amazon as well. And don’t forget – you have until April 10th to get the special Psychic- and Fire-type Pokemon Victini!

Today’s Amazon Deal of the Day in video games is CTA Digital’s Wii Sports Resort 8-in-1 Sports Pack. This collection of plastic add-ons for your Wiimote is 50% off today at $14.99, so if you don’t have enough junk cluttering your controller area, feel free to add to it today!

To round out this amazing special edition of the Daily Scoop, I have not one, but TWO awesome t-shirts for you. The first one comes from Tee Fury and is for Chocobo lovers of all shapes and sizes:

As far as I’m concerned, it is the perfect t-shirt for a Sunday morning.

The other comes from Ript Apparel, and is a delightful mash-up of games close to the hearts of both the casual and retro gamers:

I hope these clever kids never stop making t-shirts.

It’s Friday! It’s one week until PAX East! You know what that means, right? It means my weekend is going to be full of laundry and packing and planning and scheming. It also means this is going to be one of the longest weeks of the year, because the week before PAX is always the longest week of the year. Whatever, time! You can’t stop the FUN!

Today’s Amazon Deal of the Day in video games is Fable III for the Xbox 360. It’s $28.06 today, which seems completely and totally arbitrary, but whatever. That’s a good deal down from $59.99! So gobble this one up while you can.

Also, I am completely freaking out right now, because ThinkGeek is selling PixelJunk Shooter 2 t-shirts!! AIEEEEEEEE!!

This is amazing. They have this shirt (called “Ship It“) and another called “Acid Test.” So. Cool. As soon as these t-shirts are available as babydolls, I’m buying them both. Do you hear me, Timmy??? BOTH OF THEM!!

It’s GDC week, kids! Hopefully we’ll see some great announcements coming out of this week. Keep your eyes on Warp Zoned for news and updates as soon as we get them!

Today’s Amazon Deal of the Day in video games is EA’s NCAA Football 11 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It’s got football, and sports stuff, and something called “An All-New Locomotion System” which just makes me wonder how much I really don’t know about football. It’s also got ESPN broadcast package integration, which sounds really serious. It’s $39.99 today down from $59.95, so if you’re a big fan of football games and haven’t had a chance to pick this up yet, this could be your lucky day.

The t-shirt of the day goes to Ript Apparel, whose “Street Water” gave me a good laugh this morning:

Initially I wondered if there was some Wonder Twins joke going on here, but since Zan isn’t forming out of that bucket of water to deliver a liquidy punch, I’m going to assume I added too much geek to it. Still, it’s an awesome shirt, and if you’re into Street Fighter, I’m guessing it’s worth the $10.

It’s Friday, YAY! And I’m in love…with Radiant Historia. This JRPG by Atlus has two of my favorite things: time travel and steampunk. Need I say more?

Today’s Amazon Deal of the Day in video games is Hori’s Xbox 360 Real Arcade Pro EX. This “hi-end next generation arcade style controller” even has an expansion port for your headset so you can still chat with your buddies. It’s $84.99 down from $129.99, which is a pretty good deal.

Also awesome today is that John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War is being adapted for the big screen. Scalzi’s book series is heavily influenced by video games (and is super awesome), so this is definitely something gamers can start getting excited about.

Not much else going on today, but I love this t-shirt from Snorg Tees:

I know zombies are, like, so hackneyed these days, but whatever. I think it’s hilarious!
