Daily Scoop: October 17, 2013 – I’m back!

Hello there, friendly readers! I’ve been away for a few days – my good friends (and our former writers!) Ryan Littlefield and Brianne Galli came to Philadelphia to stay with us, and we had a blast! We played video games, ate junk food, and visited important landmarks. Then yesterday I was on a panel at the Grassroots Game Conference. It was amazing! But now I’m back, and ready to bring you some great deals and shirts, as always.

First up: deals! There’s a brand new Humble Bundle right now – the Humble Bundle with Android 7. Pay what you want for Ticket to Ride, Greed Corp, Incredipede, and Anodyne; pay more than the average to get Worms Reloaded and The Bard’s Tale. The soundtracks are included as well!

There are some great deals happening over at Amazon right now. The console version of Diablo III is $10 off right now. This blows the PC version out of the water and is definitely worth the money! Another personal favorite, Sleeping Dogs, is just $18.99 right now. And while I haven’t played it yet, $29.99 seems like a great price for Metro Last Light (it’s only $19.99 on PC).

And now, for the moment you’ve been waiting for: t-shirts! There are only two, but they’re both good ones… (more…)

Daily Scoop: October 11, 2013 – It’s raining, it’s pouring

Wow, it’s absolutely pouring today! Yet another perfect day for staying inside, having some tea or soup, and playing video games. It’s actually a perfect day for a new Pokemon game… but that will just have to wait for tomorrow! I’m so excited!

To keep my mind off of it, I’ll bring you a great deal for today – it’s Retro City Rampage for $3.65! But hurry, the sale won’t last long.

Oh, and you can get the BioShock Infinite board game at ThinkGeek now, so if you were looking for a way to rack up more Geek Points, look no further!

Other than that, all I’ve got are more t-shirts! (more…)

Apparently, the kid who snuck on a plane was inspired by Grand Theft Auto

grandtheftautologoHey, did you hear about that 9-year-old boy who snuck onto a plane in Minnesota and flew to Las Vegas? According to the kid, he did it because he thought he was “playing” Grand Theft Auto. MSN/Reuters has posted a video interview with the boy’s father where he admits that he thought his son was at a friend’s house during his cross-country trip and that he told police he did what he did because of Grand Theft Auto.

As it turns out, in addition to sneaking past a TSA agent and boarding a plane, the boy in question was actually arrested for committing grand theft auto after he took a car for a joy ride. He was also recently caught sneaking into a water park.

Who knows why the kid actually did what he did, but if he’s smart enough to fool airport security, he probably also knows that “video games made me do it” is a popular excuse.

Daily Scoop: October 9, 2013 – Happy humpday!

Yay, it’s Wednesday! We made it to the official halfway point to the weekend. And what’s even better is that this weekend has three whole days in it! I’m too excited. I’ve also got some friends visiting in from New York – Ryan Littlefield and Brianne Galli in the flesh! So I’m even more excited than ever… to play Pokemon with them.

Also, tonight is Dungeons and Dragons Encounters at Redcap’s Corner! Things are really heating up in Baldur’s Gate, and I’m not sure what’s going to happen at the end. My party has been pretty rad, so I’m hoping they can put an end to the madness.

Anyway, let’s talk about video games! The only good deal I found today was Tomb Raider for $19.99 at Amazon. People keep telling me I need to play this game, so maybe now is a good time to pick it up!

Other than that, I’ve got t-shirts… always t-shirts! (more…)

Daily Scoop: October 8, 2013 – Get ready for t-shirts

Well, I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that I’ve got lots and lots of t-shirts to share with you! The bad news is that I have no deals to share with you. But on the other hand, that is probably good news, considering Beyond: Two Souls comes out today, and Pokemon X and Y come out on Saturday, so if you’re like me, you’re about to drop a bunch of money on those anyway.

Well, I’m not sure about Beyond, but I am really tempted to go get it… but the reviews are all over the place. But the demo was so fun. But money and time! So torn.

Anyway, here’s a pile of t-shirts for you! (more…)

Daily Scoop: October 7, 2013 – Tornado

It’s a rainy, blustery Monday here in Philadelphia. In fact, it’s so blustery that we’ve been given a tornado watch until later tonight. If we could maybe just not have a tornado, that would be super. I mean like, really super.

So, what are today’s deals? Amazon’s having a deal on all versions of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist – it’s just $39.99 on PC, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and Xbox 360, and the special edition is $99.99 on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. You can also save 50-60% on The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, which is $29.99 on PC and $39.99 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Scoop ’em up!

Two terrific video-game related t-shirts up for you today: (more…)

Daily Scoop: October 4, 2013 – Humble Weekly Bundle

It’s Friday, everyone! Which means the weekend is nearly upon us! And it also means that I really need to start getting serious about Halloween, because I still haven’t decided what I’m going to dress up as. How did it get to be October already? Yeesh!

Anyway, there’s a brand new Humble Weekly Bundle right now featuring Nordic Games. Pay what you want for Red Faction: Armageddon, Supreme Commander, Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, The Guild 2, and the Neighbors from Hell Compilation; pay more than the average for Painkiller: Hell & Damnation, ArcaniA, Darksiders II, and Spellforce 2: Faith in Destiny. It’s a great deal!

It’s a pretty quiet day today, even for t-shirts! I’ve only got one for you, but it’s a pretty good one. Hit the jump to check it out! (more…)
