Hooray for Friday! It’s so close to the weekend. I plan on playing a lot of video games. What are you going to play?

There’s just one major deal today – Call of Duty: Ghosts is 50% off at Steam, marking it down to $29.99 for the weekend. Not only that – it’s also free to play all and double XP all weekend. I know I’m going to check it out!

There are a few good shirts today as well!

There are so many deals today that I’m just going to hop right in!

Anyway! Amazon’s digital deals are out of control right now. Kingdoms of Amalur + DLC Bundle is $9.99, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is $4.99, and Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning DLC: The Legend of Dead Kel and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning – The Teeth of Naros DLC Pack are $2.99 each. They’ve also got a Digital Tribe Games pack for $2.99, which includes Cargo Commander, Insecticide, Kung Fu Strike, Legendary, Roogoo, Rush Bros., and Velvet Assassin.

Not enough for you? Don’t worry, there’s a brand new Humble Weekly Bundle. Pay what you want for Dead Reefs, Mystery Series: A Vampire Tale, Safecracker: The Ultimate Puzzle Adventure, and Aura: Fate of the Ages. Pay $6 or more for Dark Fall: The Journal, Dark Fall 2: Lights Out, The Book of Unwritten Tales: Digital Deluxe Edition, The Book of Unwritten Tales: Critter Chronicles Collectors Edition, Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within, Deponia, and Edna & Harvey: The Breakout.

OK, really. That’s it. That’s all you get today. Well, I mean, other than t-shirts.

I don’t really play shooters on the PC, simply because I never have. There’s nothing else to it, really – I just haven’t, and so I’m afraid to try it, because there are just so many buttons, and they’re all over a keyboard, and isn’t the controller so much easier? What TitanFall has taught me is that it’s not: in fact, it’s nowhere near as beautiful as using a keyboard and mouse. Or maybe this game just captures what it is to be a PC shooter so perfectly that it’s the best introduction I could ever have. Either way, the beta is this flawless, pulsating, nearly living thing that has taken over my free time, shredding it into tiny little unrecognizable strips.

All of this might be more perfectly told by Penny Arcade, but I still have feelings, too.

Back to reality: what are today’s deals? There’s less than a day left on the Humble Weekly Bundle, featuring several IndieCade darlings and supporting the IndieCade foundation. There are also some deals at the Humble Store as well, including Drunken Robot Pornography for $11.99 and Probably Archery for $8.99.

The Daily Deal at Steam today is Darkout, which is on sale for $7.49. And I forgot to mention yesterday that Garry’s Mod is also on sale for Midweek Madness, at the low price of just $2.49.

And now, the moment you’ve certainly been waiting for – the t-shirts!

Surprising no one, it snowed again last night, and no one plowed. That is to say, no one plowed near anywhere I had to be this morning! So it was a fun trudge to work in the snow. But I can’t complain, really – I love my new boots, which have failed to stop the snow, but are great to wear! Also, most of my trudging was from being tired due to playing Titanfall all night, so again… it’s my own fault.

Anyway, there are loads of deals happening right now! The current Gold Box Deal over at Amazon is the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on sale for $39.99. This is a great deal if you’re looking to pick up this title on the most recent generation of consoles.

Speaking of “shut up and take my money,” there’s a brand new Humble Bundle that you should all buy right now. Pay what you want for Guacamelee! Gold Edition, Dust: An Elysian Tale, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, and The Swapper. Pay more than the average to also receive Antichamber and Monaco: What’s Yours Is Mine. I own almost all of these, but will gladly pay that little for just The Swapper.

There are also some deals happening at Steam. The Daily Deal is Farming Simulator 2013 Titanium Edition, which is 70% off at $8.39. The Midweek Deal is Space Engineers, which is 33% off at $10.04.

Finally, time for the t-shirts!
