Ah, yes – it’s Wednesday again! And you know what that means… Mike Gutierrez and I will be heading out for some more D&D Encounters tonight. Things are getting heated… last time, we left the Shadowfell, but I have a feeling we’ll be getting sucked back in tonight…

Anyway, onto today’s deals! Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games is Disney’s TRON: Evolution for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It’s on sale today for $18.99 from $39.99, which is over 50% off. That’s a pretty good deal! Scoop it up if you couldn’t get enough of Olivia Wilde – this is your chance to spend some more time with her.

Amazon’s also having a great Buy One, Get One 50% Off sale, with tons of great games, some of which I spied in the clearance section yesterday. And don’t forget about the great Dads & Grads promo still going strong!

Today’s t-shirt goes out to all the hipsters. It’s up at Ript, and it’s called “Old School:”

I love it for its 8-bit sentiments, but I hate it for its retro snobbery. Oh, t-shirts.

Hopefully you’re all at home, playing your copies of Duke Nukem Forever and weeping with joy. I wonder how many Duke-inspired sick days are happening right now?

In the off chance you’re checking the Internet, Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games – which is also today’s Gold Box deal – is none other than the amazing L.A. Noire. It’s $44.99 today for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. There’s a reason that it topped the NPD charts for May. Hell, I gave it five stars. So yeah, you should definitely take advantage of this deal!

Don’t forget to check out Amazon’s clearance games, too – there’s some good stuff on there, like the Ghostbusters the Video Game Amazon.com Exclusive Slimer Edition, which includes – duh! – a Slimer statue.

If you’re in the market for a new game-themed t-shirt, Qwertee has you covered:

This mashup is aptly named “Vitruvian Mon.” Ha!

Tomorrow’s the big day, everyone. It’s the day so many of you have been waiting for. The day that Duke Nuken Forever launches. As Editor-in-Chief John Scalzo mentioned, the wait has been long: 14 years, 1 month and 17 days. Hopefully the wait was worth it.

Anyway, we’ve got some deals for you. Today’s Deal of the Day in video games at Amazon is EA’s Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters for the Wii. It’s $29.96, and allows you to “Play like a true pro with a caddie alongside, assisting and supporting your every swing.” Wow. Said caddie will also “evaluate all pre-shot factors, such as wind, lie, and yardage, to provide a recommended shot.” There’s definitely a joke in there about lying to his wife, but I think everyone’s over Tiger Woods jokes by now, right?

Also up today is the last week of Amazon’s Dads & Grads promotion, which is “Next Generation Console & PC Deals.” Portal 2 is $29.99 for PC (and $39.96 for PS3 and $39.99 for Xbox 360), Halo Reach is $39.90, and James Bond 007: Blood Stone is $14.99 (Xbox 360 only). Scoop ’em up!

In the t-shirt world, today’s Ript shirt is called “Birds of War” and is an Angry Birds/Gears of War mashup:

The Ukrainian artist says it is a “shirt for those who like ‘Gears of War’ and ‘Angry birds’ and can not give preference to any.” Yeah, what he said.

It’s the second day of E3, and watching it from afar is like pure torture! Especially seeing some random person’s video of PixelJunk SideScroller gameplay. Why is that game not playable in my living room right this very second??? Unfair.

Today’s Deal of the Day in video games at Amazon is Namco’s Tekken 6 on the PSP. It’s on sale for $14.76 from $29.99. which is more than 50% off! Not a bad deal if you’re into this genre.

Nothing else to report today, bunnies. Unless you like DINOSAURS! Rawr! Tee Fury’s “Duck and Cover” shirt rawks:

The big doom-boom is coming!

So it’s the first day of E3, and it’s also launch day for inFAMOUS 2. Can anyone confirm what the replica slingpack looks like? Is it like, a real bag you can use? Anyone? Bueller?

Well, there’s not much else going on today, really. I guess the Internet figured everyone would be too busy with E3 to offer any good deals. All Amazon’s got is there Deal of the Day in video games, which is EA’s EA Sports MMA for the PlayStation 3, which is just $14.99. Those awesome Dads & Grads deals are still going on, so go gobble up some handheld games, wouldja? Unless you’re like us, and you’re super excited about the PS Vita, and you aren’t sure how you feel about buying another UMD…

That’s all for today, folks. Except this t-shirt, which is called Intensive Candy Unit and reminds me of Viva Pinata:

I suddenly want some licorice.

It’s time for E3! Some of the press conferences have already happened, but the big three are still to come. We’ll be reporting on them, so stay tuned here for all of your E3 needs!

While you’re waiting, you might want to check out some of the deals going on and pick up some games on the cheap! Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games today is for all of you football fans out there! The MadCatz NFL PlayStation 3 controllers are just $25.00 each, down from $39.99. Pick up your, uh, Buffalo Bills controller today! That’s a football team, right?

Also, it’s week two of the Dads & Grads promotion at Amazon, and that means handheld deals! There’s plenty of great stuff there, including Final Fantasy IV The Complete Collection for PSP – arguably the best version of FF IV yet!

And after a slow t-shirt weekend, today’s Qwertee has me wondering if it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all:

<3!

… in love with video games, I mean! I’m off today for a wedding, and I should be getting ready, but instead I’m sitting here working on some articles and trying not to play Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness all day long. Seeing as how I still haven’t started getting ready, I would say that I am failing.

But hey, at least we’ve got Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games, which is Square Enix’s Bust-a-Move Universe for the Nintendo 3DS. This might be the first 3DS game I’ve seen as a daily deal! It’s $17.99 down from $29.99, and promises to be “a whole universe of fun,” allowing you to “clear dozens of challenging levels as you explore an entire universe filled with puzzle fun.” Doesn’t that just sound charming? Oh yeah, and this game is part of the buy one DS game, get one 50% off I mentioned yesterday. So you can add deals to deals!

No good shirts today for gamers, but I’m trying to stop myself from buying this amazing Steampunk Seahorse t-shirt over at Ript:

I’m playing BioShock 2 right now, and seeing this floating around outside of Rapture would be pretty righteous.
