Well, we survived April Fool’s Day! And without a scratch. I spent the evening playing more BioShock Infinite and then headed to my boyfriend Anthony’s to hang out and watch “Futurama.” It’s an exciting life I lead, for certain.

No deals today! Sorry, folks. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t any sweet t-shirts! Because there are! (more…)

I usually dread April Fool’s Day, because I feel like I spend most of the day trying to explain to people that they should stop freaking out over things they read on the Internet because they aren’t true. But today has actually been filled with some fun tricks! Think Geek always has the best stuff, like this Adventure Time BMO Interactive Buddy. I would love to have a living boy to play video games with! But the winner of the day is Cards Against Humanity, for their great new customer support hotline. Call them at (312) 756-0834. You won’t regret it.

Amazon has a bunch of video games deals going on today. Airline Tycoon 2 is $3.54, Hitman Trilogy HD is $24.99, SBK X is $9.45, and Tron: Evolution is $13.09. Scoop ’em up!

Check out today’s shirts! (more…)

March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb and all that jazz, or so the saying goes. Right now, temperatures are pretty mild, and it’s even making me consider opening my windows when I get home. But I feel like it’s a trap! Either way, it doesn’t matter, because it’s Friday. Woo!

No good deals going on today, which is a good thing. I mean, we just got back from PAX East, and there’s so much great stuff coming out that I don’t even want to look at deals for old games (even if Dishonored is only $29.99 on Amazon right now). I will not give in! I’m still working on Dead Space 3, and Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, and I haven’t even opened BioShock: Infinite yet. Cut me a break, people! My backlog right now is all brand new games.

…I could have worse problems.

Anyway, what I do have is some great new t-shirts for you to check out. Buy ’em all! (more…)

So, my boyfriend Anthony and I have been trying to find an apartment, and it’s been a real adventure. We saw lots of places online, but today we saw our first place in-person, and it was a real doozy. Crappy apartments: 1; Nicole and Anthony: 0. The game’s not over yet, folks!

No good deals today, but you might be interested in what’s up at Amazon’s Pre-order Central. They have some good bonuses, like a bunch of stuff with Defiance (exclusive Plague Bringer, beta invite, Outlander outfit, “Iron Demon” in-game title, 3-day XP boost and Dodge Challenger), a bonus figure and power disc with the Disney Infinity Wii Starter Pack, $10 credit and the exclusive Headstart Pack with GRID 2, and $10 Amazon instant video credit as well as the Sights and Sounds Pack with The Last of Us. Scoop ’em up!

As always, I’ve got a few good t-shirts for you: (more…)

I’m entering the post-PAX East depression phase, where I realize just how far the next one really is. Well, I mean, there’s always PAX AUS, but do you have any idea how much money it costs to get to Australia? I’ll give you a hint: it’s a freaking lot of money.

So what’s going on when it comes to deals? Well, I’m glad you asked. Amazon has some Easter Deals going on, including Lalaloopsy Carnival of Friends for $14.99, Moshi Monsters Moshlings Theme Park for $19.99, and The Trash Pack for $9.99. There’s also a Disney sale, including Brave for $14.99 on PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two for $17 on the Wii and $19.99 on PS3 or Xbox 360. They’ve also got deals on Skylanders, Legos, and Sims, all on their video games deals page. Scoop ’em up!

And now for some t-shirts! (more…)

PAX East flew by like a whirlwind! It felt like one long day – everything just blurred into everything else. We have some great interviews and hands-on previews to share with all of you! I wish I’d had more time to see everything, but three days that feel like one day just isn’t enough time to get it all done.

Speaking of not enough time, there’s a Gold Box Event happening now at Amazon that is all video games! The deal of the day is Tomb Raider, which is $41.99 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and $34.99 on PC. The rest of the deals, which aren’t very well described, are:

I don’t think I’m even coherent anymore at this point. There’s so much to do before we leave for Boston tomorrow! At least I’ll be busy all night so the time will fly. We’ll be heading up before I know it! It’s so close I can practically taste it. It tastes like AWESOME!

There are no deals today. I would say hurry up and get on your pre-orders, but if you haven’t pre-ordered BioShock Infinite yet, what on earth are you waiting for?

Fear not – I do have some video game shirts for you, though! Check these bad boys out: (more…)

As the clock ticks down and we get closer and closer to PAX East, I can hardly contain my excitement! Last night I had to run around and get a bunch of errands done, and I’m a little overwhelmed that I only have another day and a half before I’m on my way to Boston. Aieeeeeeee I can’t wait!

Amazon’s having a one day Lego game sale today. You can get Lego Lord of the Rings for $29.99 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, $19.99 on the Wii, and $14.99 on PC. Also, as if getting $30 for pre-ordering the digital version of BioShock Infinite wasn’t awesome enough, the pot’s been sweetened to include a free digital copy of XCOM: Enemy Unknown as well. PC players, get on it!

Lots of great video game t-shirts again today: (more…)
