Daily Scoop: November 16, 2011 – Rainy day woman

Posted on November 16, 2011 by Nicole Kline

It’s Wednesday, and it’s a beautiful rainy day – not too cold, not too rainy, just a general kind of soggy day. Back in high school, my soccer coach was obsessed with Bob Dylan, and named all of our plays after his songs – and nicknamed some of us as well. I was Rainy Day Woman, so when it rains, I always think about him.

Whew! Anyway! Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games continues on their Black Friday Deals with up to 75% off Collector’s Editions! There’s Killzone 3: Helghast Edition for $39.99, Disney Epic Mickey Collector’s Edition for $34.99, and even the Bully Scholarship Edition for $5. Some interesting stuff there on the cheap! Oh yeah, and the Duke Nukem Forever: Balls of Steel Edition for $17.99. *snicker*

There are two awesome gaming shirts today, both of which you should buy immediately if not sooner… (more…)

Persona 4 stage play hitting Japan in March

Posted on November 16, 2011 by Brian Bishop

Atlus’ RPG/school sim Persona 4 has been seeing a lot of attention lately in it’s home country of Japan. At the Tokyo Game show this year, two new games in the franchise were announced, Persona 4: The Golden for Vita and Persona 4: Ultimate Mayonaka Arena for Xbox 360/PS3. Even an anime based on the series, called “Persona 4: The Animation,” has begun airing in Japan and is on episode six.

The video game is breaking some entirely new ground as well… ground in REAL LIFE. The new production company Marvelous AQL has greenlit Visualive Persona 4, a stage play based on the popular video game. The play is set to run from March 15, 2012 through the 20th at the Sunshine theater in Tokyo.

The voice actor for Teddie (Kuma in the Japanese version) is even reprising his role from the video game on stage.

Daily Scoop: November 15, 2011 – Make some noise

Posted on November 15, 2011 by Nicole Kline

It’s Tuesday, yay! Not as good as Friday, but not nearly as bad as Monday. And my day started out with me nearly taking an adorable kitten home with me. How could a day start out better than that???

Anyway, Amazon continues their early Black Friday deals today with a “Digital Download Day” as their Deal of the Day in video games. It’s mostly Sims games, with a smattering of others, including Final Fantasy XI: Ultimate Collection Abyssea Edition for $9.99. If you’re into digital games and want to sweep a bunch up for cheap, this sounds like the perfect deal for you!

GameFly is also having a huge used sale, with more than a few games for under $10. There are PS3 games, Wii games, and Xbox 360 games in the sale. Duke Nukem Forever and Brink are $5.99 used, and that is about how much I would recommend paying for them!

No gaming shirts today, but TeeFury’s “That’s Frank, Folks” is amazing: (more…)

Nintendo, Penny Arcade team up for Zelda: Skyward Sword comic

Posted on November 15, 2011 by John Scalzo

To celebrate the upcoming release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (just five more days!), Nintendo has teamed up with the boys from Penny Arcade to create a five-panel Skyward Sword comic.

Starting today, new panels will appear every week at the official Skyward Sword website.

“I was 14 when I first played The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past,” said Penny Arcade artist Mike Krahulik. “That was 20 years ago, and today I am introducing my son to The Legend of Zelda. The opportunity to work with Nintendo to create a Zelda comic is not only an incredible honor, but quite literally a childhood dream come true.”

Posted on November 14, 2011 by Nicole Kline

Well, it’s been a long weekend for me, folks! I headed out to MEPACon from Friday to Sunday, where I played a staggering 28+ hours of Dungeons and Dragons. It was glorious! But now I’m back at work, and I’m exhausted. I really want to action point and take a nap.
