Daily Scoop: January 21, 2013 – Lego games on sale

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. day! I was hoping to spend the day quietly at home playing video games and eating bagel bites, but it looks like I’m going to spend it writing, cleaning, and doing homework. It’s not a very exciting day off, but at least I’m getting stuff done!

Today’s deal at Amazon is on Warner Bros. Lego games. Pick up Lego Batman games, Lego Harry Potter games, and Lego Battles for under $15, or the Lego Lord of the Rings games for under $30. Scoop ’em up!

Just one video game-related t-shirt today: (more…)

Daily Scoop: January 18, 2013 – Wee Friday!

Not only is it Friday, it’s the Friday before a three-day weekend, making it the holiest of Fridays! I would love to play some games on Monday, but it looks like I’m going to have a pile of Responsible Things to do that day. Oh well, getting stuff done amirite? Go adulthood!

Amazon has some decent featured deals going on right now. Borderlands 2 is still going strong at $29.99, while Hitman: Absolution is currently $39.99, and LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is $15.99. Scoop ’em up!

Three t-shirts today, and a bonus shirt I really need to tell you about: (more…)

Bethesda has applied for a trademark for a Fallout TV series

bethesdalogo

After the success of The Walking Dead, it’s not surprising that other people want to jump on this “apocalyptic television show” thing. Enter Bethesda and their hugely popular Fallout series. How popular? Well, they think it would make a pretty good TV show.

Bethesda has filed a trademark with the
US Patent and Trademark Office for an “an on-going television program set in a post-nuclear apocalyptic world” that uses the Fallout name. This doesn’t mean that a Fallout TV show is in the works, but it does mean that Bethesda would like it if a Fallout TV was in the works.

Sure beats a TV show based on the life of Jessica Simpson, that’s for sure.

Daily Scoop: January 16, 2013 – Yo Gamma Gamma!

Tonight, we’ll be playing Gamma World at Redcap’s Corner! I’m really excited to try it out. I’ve made characters before but never actually got to try out the system, which is a fast-paced 4th-edition-esque joyride through a post-apocalyptic world. We’ve rolled up 12 random characters for tonight, and my fingers are crossed for one in particular. If you’re interested, and live in the Philly area, feel free to stop by! We don’t bite. Well, maybe the Pathfinder guys do. But not us!

No deals today, I’m afraid! It’s been a pretty quiet week, unfortunately. But hey! Pandora’s Tower is coming to North America. That’s like a deal, right?

Just one t-shirt up today: (more…)

Daily Scoop: January 15, 2013 – Hammerlock Edition!

It’s finally January 15, which means the new Borderlands 2 DLC is out! I’m counting the minutes until I can go play it. I’m beyond excited! It looks like it’s going to be awesome, and here’s a trailer to prove it. I”m pretty excited about facing off against that new villain!

Well, let’s face it: I’m excited about all of it.

And there’s a good deal to go along with the DLC today – Borderlands 2 is just $29.99 on Amazon today on PS3 and Xbox 360. Go scoop it up and spend the other $30 you would have spent on the Season Pass! It’s like it was fated or something.

And now, time for t-shirts! (more…)

Daily Scoop: January 11, 2013 – Mmm, Friday!

It’s Friday, which hopefully means some of you will be gaming this weekend! What are the main games you’ll be spending your time on? I plan on spending at least a little time cuddled up with Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable on my Vita. Besides that, there’s just Iron Kingdoms tonight, and a full day of Dungeons & Dragons tomorrow! And some writing. And maybe laundry. And grocery shopping. You know – all those things that get crunched into tiny weekends!

No good deals today, except it’s the last day to get Insert Coin Clothing!! Act now and get some of the best gaming-inspired t-shirts out there. Other than that, there’s not really much going on with gaming deals! I’ve had my eye on the Devil May Cry Collection, which is at $18.47 on Amazon now.

Far fewer t-shirts up today than yesterday: (more…)

Daily Scoop: January 10, 2013 – So many shirts!

I mean it when I say it this time: there are shirts galore today! I believe that the shirt enthusiasts out there will be very pleased today.

Not really too much in the way of deals, to be honest. But I did have fun looking at Amazon’s best of 2012 list, though I made the wise decision of logging out of my account before looking at those games. You might also be interested in their pre-order central, which has all of the upcoming games and their bonuses.

Seven shirts for you today!! For real! (more…)

Daily Scoop: January 9, 2013 – Halfway there!

It seems that way too many of my scoops are about counting down to the weekend, pining for the weekend, or lamenting the death of the weekend. That’s mainly because the weekend is when I can actually game without guilt! Well, this term, I will have homework, so maybe “without guilt” is the wrong word to use. Whatever, it’s when I stay up as long as I want, gaming or doing homework!

Looking for a good deal? Well, I’m sad to say I only found one today. Best Buy has the Ultimate Combo Pack: Twisted Metal & DUALSHOCK 3 Wireless Controller on sale from $59.99 to $39.99. This is a pretty good deal!

Just two shirts for you today: (more…)
