Daily Scoop: May 10, 2013 – Hooray for Friday!

Well, it’s finally Friday! I felt like this week just crawled on by. And now I’m going to have another busy weekend! It’s like these weeks just keep meshing into one long week that never ends sometimes. But at least it’s filled with fun stuff! We’re heading down to Maryland tomorrow to play a Battle Interactive, which should be a good time! And Sunday is Mother’s Day, and hopefully also moving some darn boxes day. We’ll see!

I couldn’t find you any deals today, so instead, here’s a GIF of a bunny and a cat.

Lots of great gaming shirts today! (more…)

Daily Scoop: May 8, 2013 – The Internet is full of fun

The Internet is a place that makes me happy! It always has the best stuff on it, like this Songbird Plush, which I really want to buy. I am trying to wait until we move to buy anything, but when I find something that awesome, it’s really hard to keep my cool!

There are a few new deals at GameStop this week that are worth checking out. The Sims 3 University Life Limited Edition is half price at $19.99, and The Sims 3 Seasons Limited Edition is as well.

Daily Scoop: May 7, 2013 – Board game night

I’ve been so busy the last few weeks that I haven’t made it to a single board game night at Redcap’s Corner. But it looks like that’s going to change tonight! Hopefully it doesn’t rain too hard, because I’ve got on canvas sneakers. It seems like that’s when it rains the hardest!

Daily Scoop: May 6, 2013 – Did you survive Cinco de Mayo?

Were you able to survive Cinco de Mayo? I almost didn’t. I was taking an unshowered trip to the bookstore yesterday in my pajamas when I realized I was walking through a trendy part of town on a major day of drinking. I nearly had an anxiety attack! But I made it through and then ran home and got back to video gaming. Whew! It was a close call, all right.

Let’s see, what’s going on today for deals? Well, there are some new digital deals happening over at Amazon this week, almost all of which are Codemasters games. You might remember Codemasters from my bizarre obsession with Damnation, which you can now get for $4.99. Other deals include Dirt 2 for $4.99, Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising for $6.99, and Rise of the Argonauts for $4.49. Scoop ’em up!

A few good t-shirts for you today, y’all! (more…)

Daily Scoop: May 2, 2013 – More good t-shirts

Well, it’s finally official! Anthony Amato and I just picked up the keys to our new place. Now comes the hard part… actually moving! I’m excited to be moved, but not about the actual part where I put stuff in boxes and move it. That is less fun!

No new deals today, people. But hey, there are some really great new t-shirts available! So that’s a win, I would say… (more…)

Daily Scoop: May 1, 2013 – May Day!

It’s a beautiful day here in Philadelphia – it finally feels like spring! I might even spend some time outside at some point today, in between working and playing Dungeons & Dragons at Cipher Prime. We’re starting a new campaign, so tonight is character creation. I’m hoping to play a Kenku Chaos Sorceror, but we’ll see!

No new deals today, but I will tell you this: it’s a good time to purchase a console, if you’re in the market for one. Amazon has a lot of Xbox 360 consoles for sale, including the cheapest, the Xbox 360 4GB Console, at $188.62. Their PlayStation 3 selection isn’t so bad either, with the cheapest one, the PS3 250GB Amazon Exclusive Family Entertainment Bundle, coming in at $249.99. Also, have you seen this Animal Crossing 3DS XL? I think I died from cute.

I’ve got some shirts for you today! Including one I caved and bought. I went so long without buying one, too… (more…)
