It’s freezing outside, so I’ve been putting a lot of serious thought into getting myself a kigurumi, which is a Japanese pajama/cosplay type outfit. There are some really amazing ones out there, though I couldn’t find too many that fit the video game theme, other than Pikachu, of course!

But then I stumbled upon one that was a Portal turret, and I was instantly smitten. Looks like I know what I’m wearing to my next convention! And around the house. And maybe just, you know, all the time. Or, come to think of it, Anthony could wear that, and I could be Chell. You know, I’m starting to like this idea…

There aren’t really any great deals going on right now. In fact, everyone is having little tiny deals left and right, and teasing about their Black Friday sales. I’m so glad I don’t leave the house the day after Thanksgiving! I mean, other than to go somewhere and play Dungeons & Dragons, that is.

Anyway, let’s get serious and talk about t-shirts! (more…)

Holy disappearing year, y’all! Where did 2013 go??? It felt like it flew by in a crazy haze of video games, good and bad. Not that I’m complaining…!

The best deal going on right now is the Game Music Bundle, which I’ve mentioned before. It’s only got another day left, so go grab it while it’s still there!

Also, this is a terrific time to stock up on consoles and peripherals from this (now old) generation. There are lots of Dualshock 3s on sale right now on Amazon. Maybe it’s time I finally picked up that awesome gold one?

Looking for awesome t-shirts? Of course you are!

There are a ridiculous number of things that just hit the street. There’s Assassin’s Creed IV, Battlefield 4, and, of course, the Pusheen book, I Am Pusheen the Cat. That’s more awesome than any human being could handle!

There are some good deals happening over at Amazon right now. The best physical game deal is $16.99 for Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition on the Wii U. There are plenty of great digital deals, too, like The Cave for $3.69, Dead Island Game of the Year Edition for $4.99, Max Payne 3 + Season Pass for $9.99, and the Walking Dead Pack for $7.49. That last one is just in time for the announcement of season two!

As always, here’s a few great t-shirts for you! (more…)

Well, it’s been a really busy few days for me, with work, and school, and video games. But I wanted to share something really special with all of you: I love Pokemon.

No, but seriously! I mean, I do seriously love Pokemon. But the great news I want to share with you is that Cipher Prime is featured in this week’s amazing Humble Weekly Bundle. Pay what you want for their incredible games Splice, Fractal, and my personal favorite, Pulse. Pay more than $6 to get Auditorium and their ridiculously fun brand-new game, Intake! This is the debut of Intake and the only way to get it, so seriously, drop some money on them. You also get all five soundtracks, which is absurd. Seriously! Give them all of your money, like right now.

And I have a sneaking suspicion that the top contributor, Aaron’s secret admirer, is really just Aaron.

And what Scoop would be complete without t-shirts? (more…)

PAX East badges went on sale today, and the three-day badges sold out in under an hour. It was outrageous! Tons are on eBay already, unsurprisingly. The hotel site is still down, so I don’t know where I’m sleeping, but I’ve got my badges, so whatever. Are you also going to PAX East? Let us know in the comments! Maybe we can high five or something.

I found another neat video game bundle website – this one is called Bundle in a Box. I’m sad to say that their latest bundle, an indie RPG bundle, just ended! It included Unemployment Quest, The Siege of the Necromancer, Hack, Slash, Loot, Styrateg, Inaria, Dungeon Fray, Empires & Dungeons 2, and Frayed Knights. The minimum price was $1.99, but if you paid more than average, you got loads of extra goodies! It’s definitely worth keeping an eye on it for future bundles.

I’ve got a couple of neat shirts for you today! (more…)

So, last night, I had every intention of working on as much homework as I possibly could so I could finally dig in to Beyond: Two Souls. Instead, I found a kitten and had an adorable adventure with her all night. The end. My boyfriend Anthony referred to it as “an elaborate excuse to not get your homework done,” which might be right. But seriously, could you resist that sweet face? And the purrs. The PURRS!

Anyway, I’ve got great news for all you video game music lovers out there! The Game Music Bundle has a brand new bundle right now, called the Game Music Bundle… of the Damned! For $1, you get five albums: Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Limbo, Bloodrayne: Betrayal, and Dead Space. For $10, you get an additional nine soundtracks: Home, Year Walk, Penumbra, The Horror at MS Aurora, Organ Trail: Director’s Cut, Alice: Madness Returns, Plants vs. Zombies, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, and [Survaillant]. That’s a lot of amazing soundtracks for a super low price. Scoop ’em up!

Two more shirts for you today! (more…)

Happy Monday, friendly readers! I know that Mondays are the lamest, but this video of kittens hugging should help. A lot.

First up, let’s talk about deals! Amazon’s having a huge sale on Xbox 360s right now, trying to clear out before the Xbox One comes out next month. All the consoles and bundles listed here are anywhere from $12 to $50 off, and each one comes with a $50 promotional credit. They’ve got a lot of great deals happening on their video game deals page as well, including Scribblenauts Unlimited on PC for $9.99.

On other news, there’s still time to get the awesome Humble Weekly Bundle featuring Hothead Games. Pay what you want for DeathSpank, DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue, and Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One. Pay more than $6 and get The Baconing and On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode Two, as well as the soundtracks for DeathSpank and On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. And don’t forget about the Humble Bundle with Android 7, which has Ticket to Ride, Greedcorp, Incredipede, and Anodyne. Pay more than the average to also get Worms Reloaded and The Bard’s Tale. Whew! That’s a lot of games.

Two good shirts again today after the jump… (more…)
