Daily Scoop: January 31, 2013 – Here comes February

Wow, January flew by in the blink of an eye! It was like a blur of homework, video games, and single-digit temperatures. Dead Space 3 comes out next week already, and I haven’t even put a dent in Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch! This year needs to slow down…

Not too much going on in the deals department. You can save 15% on the Assassin’s Creed III Encyclopedia Edition, or 43% off the Final Fantasy XIII-2 Collector’s Edition. Don’t get too excited – no, seriously, I get your sarcasm. I GET IT.

There are a few good shirts for sale today! (more…)

Daily Scoop: January 29, 2013 – It’s getting hot in here

Last week, the weather was in the single digits, but this week, things are going to change over here on the East Coast. Tomorrow, it’s supposed to be 60 degrees. 60 degrees! That means I only have to wear one pair of pants and two shirts, tops. Not the two pairs of pants, two pairs of socks, four shirts, and a winter coat that I’ve been wearing. A brief respite from the cold is nice, but this is just going to make me crazy.

Anyway, what deals are there today? Well, there’s a big Tritton headset sale going on over at Amazon. Check out the Tritton TRIAX-180 AX 180 Stereo Gaming Headset for $49.99, the Tritton Pro+ 5.1 Surround Gaming Headset for $169.99, and the Tritton Primer Wireless Stereo Headset for $79.99.

I’ve got two great t-shirts for you today: (more…)

Daily Scoop: January 28, 2013 – Late Arrival

Well, it was a long time coming, but my copy of Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch finally arrived! I ordered it straight from Namco Bandai, and it took almost an entire week to get here. I’m so spoiled by Amazon and GameStop, as well as the PSN and Steam, that waiting for a game is almost a foreign concept now. But it’s here, and I’m going to play it to death when I get home tonight!

Not many deals going on today, unfortunately. Amazon has a few video game deals, including Call of Duty: Black Ops II for $45, Chocolatier for $7.50, NBA 2K11 for $16.49, and an Xbox 360 Live Subscription Gold Card for $39.99. Scoop ’em up!

And now, for the t-shirts! (more…)

BioShock Infinite will receive an e-book prequel

BioshockInfiniteMindinRevoltBioShock Infinite‘s Columbia seems like a complex world, and fans of the series are clamoring for more information. Lucky for us, Irrational Games wants to feed that need, and has announced an e-book prequel called BioShock Infinite: Mind in Revolt, available on February 12.

The book, written by Joe Fielder (writer at Irrational Games) and Ken Levine (creative director) will be $2.99, unless you pre-ordered the game from Amazon, in which case you get it for free.

Fielder said, “Since we first announced BioShock Infinite, our fans have asked for more information about Columbia and the complex cast of characters that inhabit the floating city… After reading the e-book, players will have a better understanding of BioShock Infinite’s world, the struggle between its factions, and the motivations of key characters, like rebel leader Daisy Fitzroy, without spoiling the mysteries of BioShock Infinite.”

Hopefully since it’s done in-house, BioShock Infinite: Mind in Revolt will be better than that terrible book, BioShock: Rapture. They would have to really, really try.

Daily Scoop: January 25, 2013 – It’s Friday, I’m in love

As cheesy as it sounds, it’s true. It is Friday, and I am in love, so I think it’s OK to say it. I’m ready to get some gaming done this weekend, especially since the forecast calls for super snowy times! But it’s more likely that I’ve got a date with homework, as well as some extra credit. We’ll see if I can get in some more Dead Space 3 time while I’m at it!

No new deals today, though the sales at Amazon from yesterday and the day before are still going strong. Check ’em out, or save your pennies for the upcoming releases!

The good news is that it’s been a short week! The bad news is that there’s still one more day left in it before the weekend!

You can do it!

Not many deals today, other than Amazon’s featured video game deals. The six deals are: Assassin’s Creed III for $39.99, Family Party 30 Great Games: Obstacle Arcade for $19.95, FIFA Soccer 13 for $49.97, G155-Gaming and Entertainment Mobile System for $179.99, Halo 4 for $39.99, and Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance for $19.99.

Daily Scoop: January 23, 2012 – Lots of t-shirts!

Well, I don’t know what the weather is like in your part of the world, but where I am, it’s absolutely freezing! The temperature is in the single digits, and my digits are not pleased. At least I’ve got the warm comfort of my living room and PlayStation 3 to keep me toasty and happy!

Not too much in the way of deals today. The Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition for the PC is only $19.97 at GameStop right now. You could also surf Amazon’s clearance section, which includes gems like Airline Tycoon 2, Ben 10 Galactic Racing, and Mr. Bean’s Wacky World, all for under $10 each.

At least there are lots of t-shirts today! (more…)
