Most Recent: Daily Scoop

I’ve been waiting all season for the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones, and it didn’t disappoint. The best part has been the insane reactions of people around the Internet. The video reactions on You Tube might be the best, though the Twitter reactions had me crying laughing. What’s it like to have read the book vs. to just watch the show? It’s like this. Welcome to our club.

Anyway, let’s talk about video games! Amazon has some new deals up this week. Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Gears of War: Judgment are $39.99 each, while Fast & Furious: Showdown is $19.99. There are also lots of Trittons on sale at their deals page. Scoop ’em up!

There are two shirts I really want to get today, but after going through all my shirts this weekend and getting rid of over 100, I have banned myself from buying any new ones!

What a great extended weekend! Anthony and I played so much Borderlands 2 that I’m dreaming about being Krieg the Psycho. That might sound like a bad thing, but I haven’t had this much fun since the game first came out! It’s been such a blast. We also made a lot of progress on our big move! So close to being completely finished – just a few more big trips, and then it’s setting up time. Woo!

What a week it’s been! So many crazy things have happened. I can’t wait to get home later, put on my pajamas, and play Borderlands 2 until I pass out. I’ve got a date with my boyfriend and our two Kriegs – Bebop and Rocksteady. And maybe some ice cream. Who knows! Let’s get crazy.

It’s almost impossible to get through a single refresh of my Twitter or Facebook feed without listening to people freaking out about the Xbox One reveal! I’m going to wait and see what Microsoft has to say at E3 before making any judgments about it. Here’s hoping they show some of those games they were talking about!

Well, it’s been a crazy week, but things are finally slowing down! Saturday was GameLoop Philly, then Sunday was a surprise 80th birthday party for my grandmom, and Monday I was on a panel about video game writing with Chris Grant, Amanda Lange, and William Stallwood! It was amazing, but I am now amazingly tired. It’s time to get back to playing video games again! Oh, and moving into my new apartment, which feels like it’s taking an eternity. I can’t wait until it’s all finished!

Today’s deal is the new Humble Weekly Bundle, featuring Alan Wake. If you opt for the Collector’s Edition, you get extra content, including “special episodes ‘The Signal’ and ‘The Writer’ as well as developer commentary videos, an illustrated PDF book, and soundtrack.” These bundles only work on Windows, and you’ve only got seven days to buy it. Scoop it up!

Also, those awesome Penny Arcade Monaco prints are finally for sale! Go buy them all!

So Krieg is finally out! And we haven’t gotten a chance to play him yet! NOOOOOO!! And tonight we have free tickets for an early screening of the new Star Trek movie. So there are going to be some difficult decisions to make tonight… or maybe they won’t be so difficult. Anthony and I are planning on playing double Kriegs, so hopefully that’s either twice the fun, or twice the team kills!

Just one interesting deal today, and that’s over at Play Asia. Their daily deal right now is God of War: Ascension Steelbook Edition for $39.90. This is a pretty good deal, so if you’re into the series and just haven’t had the chance to pick this one up yet, at 50% off, this might be worth it.

Well, it’s not really a Daft Punk edition, per se, as it is a day brought to you by Daft Punk. Their new album, Random Access Memories, is available to stream via iTunes, and I’ve been listening to it all day. They’re so catchy it’s stupid! Stupid, I say.

Amazon has some digital deals up right now. 1000 Suba Points: Mission Against Terror is free, while Hitman: Absolution is $4.99, and the Professional Edition is just $4 more.

Welcome to yet another Monday! I hope that you had a great weekend. We were busy running around a lot – we spent Saturday in Maryland at a Dungeons & Dragons Battle Interactive, and then yesterday was a mix of spending time with my family and moving boxes into our new apartment. I’m exhausted but I’m glad we got everything started! Now just a million more boxes left to go…
