So there’s this thing happening in part of the world that is sort of crazy: it’s a distorted polar vortex, and basically it is making life really, really cold. We’re talking single digit degrees – in some cases in the negative. The best way to handle this weather is to stay inside and play video games. Trust me! I’m a professional.

If you’re looking for some new games to play while hiding from the cold, you’re in luck, because there’s a brand new Humble Bundle! Pay what you want for To the Room, Joe Danger 2: The Movie, Papa & Yo, and Runner2. Pay more than the average and unlock Reus and Surgeon Simulator 2013! Soundtracks are included for all of the games. This is a great lot, and you should be sure to pick it up! You’ve also got a little time left on the Humble Weekly Bundle as well, which includes Samorost 2, Machinarium, Lume, and Windosill, as well as Shelter and Botanicula when you pay more than the average. Scoop ’em all up!

Quite a few video game shirts available today! (more…)

Hello everyone, and happy new year! It’s been an amazing holiday for me – I spent so much time playing games, it boggles my mind. Anthony and I got loads of games on sale and pretty much haven’t stopped playing games for the last two weeks. The last few days we’ve played more Hammerwatch than my poor hands can take! I can’t recommend that game enough to everyone. Seriously. It is ridiculously good.

But I’m sure you’re here for the deals! There are some going on at Amazon, like the Limited Edition of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag for $99.99 and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time for $12.99. You can also get an Ouya Console on sale for $89.99.

If you’re looking for some digital games, you might want to check out the Humble Bundle Store, where you can get Continue?9876543210 for $7.99, Retro City Rampage for $4.99, and Trine for $1.99.

There are also lots of good t-shirts for sale today! (more…)

I know I tell you to buy a lot of games, but that’s kind of the whole point of this column – it’s a place where I put all of the amazing deals that I find. I don’t expect you to buy all of them; heck, I don’t even buy all of them. But there’s one deal that can’t be missed today, and that’s Monaco on sale for $2.99 at the Humble Store. This is a super fun game if you like playing games online or local co-op. It supports up to four players and, while difficult, can be really fun, too. They’ve got plenty of other sales for the next 24 hours, too – so many good ones that I need to avert my gaze.

There are also loads of digital games on sale at Amazon right now. The BioShock Triple Pack is $14.99, the Borderlands 2 and Borderlands GOTY Pack is $11.99, the Max Payne Complete Pack is $6.99, Spec Ops: The Line is $5.99, and the XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM: Enemy Within Pack is $19.99… among many, many others.

And now for something that isn’t digital… t-shirts! (more…)

It’s finally Friday! Not only that, it’s utterly gorgeous here in sunny Philadelphia. Contrary to popular belief, it is not always sunny here. Recently it’s been everything but – with crazy rain, hail, and snow keeping us down, it’s been hard to get our spirits up! But this weekend, it’s supposed to be 70 degrees (what!), so maybe I’ll even open up some windows while I’m playing video games. Maybe.

So, I know I keep talking about it, but Papers, Please is on sale at the Humble Store for just $4.99 right now, meaning you really have no excuse at all not to buy it. On top of that, the ridiculously amazing Broforce is on sale for $9.99! It’s in beta right now, but trust me – you still want to play it.

Oh, and if you’re still looking for Christmas gifts, Grand Theft Auto V is $39.99 right now on Amazon, and it will get to you in time for the holidays.

T-shirt time, woo! (more…)

I’m not sure if I told you guys this yet, but I’ve recently become addicted to the game Fez. It’s an incredible little brain-buster that makes me feel smarter every single time I figure something out in it. It’s elegant, and wistful, and I wish Phil Fish had not quit video games forever. The bottom line is: you should get it because it’s the best.

Speaking of other games you should get, there’s a new list of games on sale at the Humble Store! Papers, Please is still $6.66, Limbo is $2.49, and Legend of Grimrock is $7.49. There’s also a brand new Humble Weekly Sale, which includes the awesome Ultratron! It’s like the Internet knows I just got a new computer.

There are plenty of last-minute deals happening over at Amazon as well. You can get Angry Birds Star Wars for the Nintendo Wii for $19.99, Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag for $39.99, and Battlefield 4 for $39.99. Of course, if you want to stay digital, they’ve got great digital deals as well, like the BioShock Triple Pack for $14.99.

And now let’s see about some t-shirts! (more…)

It’s been a seriously snowy couple of weeks, which is good and bad! Good because, let’s face it, snow is really beautiful and can be fun, but bad because I’ve had no time to have fun in it, and it’s been ridiculously freezing. Also, it keeps turning into ice, which is just not cool at all.

But the crazy cold weather hasn’t frozen all the deals! Amazon’s got some pretty good PlayStation deals, including Gran Turismo 5 XL Edition for $10 and The Last of Us (which Amazon just crowned their Game of the Year) for $35.

There are also some new games on sale at the Humble Store. Now’s the time to pick up Papers, Please (for $6.66) and Rogue Legacy ($7.49). So many good games, so little time and hard drive space!

And, of course, we’ve got t-shirts…

It’s Monday again, sadly, but I spent the whole weekend playing tons of amazing video games, so I’m a happy camper! I played and beat Fez, which I’m in love with, and then started it right back up again in New Game+. Now that school’s finally done, I can play all the games I want! Until the next term starts up, that is.

In the deals department, there’s some discounting happening at Amazon today! There are lots of great digital deals, including Fallout 3 GOTY Edition for $6.79 and Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete for $7.49. And if you still haven’t picked up Grand Theft Auto V, it’s $39.96 right now at Amazon as well.

Check out today’s t-shirts after the jump!

My laptop charger finally kicked the bucket last night, so I had to order a new one. Anthony Amato is trying to get me to order a new laptop altogether, but money is pretty scarce right now, so I’m thinking maybe I’ll try to get one closer to my birthday in March. Rumor has it laptops have gotten much cheaper these days, so maybe I’ll pick up something small, light, and fantastic on the cheap. Feel free to leave me some recommendations in the comments!

A brand new Humble Weekly Sale has just gone live, and it’s something you might want to hop in on. You can pay what you want to get Zeno Clash, Zeno Clash 2, Killing Floor, and Dwarfs!? Pay $6 or more to unlock Rock of Ages and Rising Storm. As always, you also get a bunch of soundtracks with these as well.

Only three shirts today, but I already bought one of them! (more…)
