Just one shirt today, but it’s a fantastic one! (more…)

It’s not even Thanksgiving, and I’m already thankful for so much. I’m thankful for the good friends I spent last night with, laughing until we were in pain. I’ve never had that much fun at an IHOP! I’m thankful for my boyfriend, who just wrote his first article. I’m thankful for my family, who I got to see this weekend (and surprisingly survive a game of Cards Against Humanity with). I’m thankful for so much!

Day three of Black Friday deals at Amazon is upon us, and again, I’m just copying from John Scalzo’s hard work:

It’s day two of Black Friday deals at Amazon, and it’s glorious. John Scalzo did all the legwork already over in this post for the whole week, but if you just want to see what’s up for today, here’s the list:

Monday, you come way too fast for my liking. The weekend was so short, and full of RPGs and hanging out with my family. We introduced them to Cards Against Humanity, with hilarious results!

So, it looks like Black Friday is starting early at Amazon. They’ve got a bunch of Lightning Deals going on today! Check them out:

• 9:10 AM PST/12:10 PM EST: “Brings the thrill and fun of winter sports to the…” (That’s all they give us! An ellipsis!

Let’s see how long I can avoid buying any of these games!

Just one t-shirt up today! (more…)

It’s true – I am in love. With Qdoba veggie burritos, cuddling with my boyfriend, and live streams of kittens. I’m also in love with Friday itself. Tonight, we’ll be playing Iron Kingdoms with some friends. Tomorrow, I plan on playing Sleeping Dogs forever, and then playing D&D at night. And Sunday, well, let’s just say I’m not sure who in my family will still be talking to me after Sunday, because I’m bringing Cards Against Humanity to my cousin’s birthday party. My grandfather may lecture me.

Let’s see, what are the sales going on? Well, you might want to check out the bargain bin over at Gamefly to get some cheap used games. Bulletstorm and Dragon Age II are $8.99, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Homefront are $9.99, just to name a few. As the year winds to a close, what better way to pick up all those games you missed? Too bad they don’t sell time…

A few cute t-shirts are up today! (more…)

So in last night’s Encounters session, things got pretty intense! The drow and orcs have laid siege to Mithral Hall, and the heroes had to find a way in. There were actual fights that happened this time, and I got to garrote one of the characters for, like, three straight rounds. It was pretty glorious. The war is really starting to ramp up!

As for deals, Amazon is currently offering bonus credit if you trade in select Wii or 3DS systems. Trade in a Wii to get an extra $50 towards a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, or trade in your 3DS for an extra $50 towards a Vita. This is really, truly, seriously making me want to pack up my beautiful red Wii that is covered in dust and exchange it for an R2D2 Xbox 360. So many tough decisions…

Just one t-shirt today! (more…)

Happy monthiversary to my sweet, darling boyfriend, Anthony! It’s been 15 months of happiness, cuddling, high fives, Dungeons and Dragons, video games, board games, rolling dice, holding hands, eating water ice, and sharing books. I love you!

All right, enough embarrassing my boyfriend! Time for some deals. As part of its countdown to Black Friday, Amazon has Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympics for 20% off, as well as Sonic Generations for a whopping 64% off. The digital deal is pretty great as well – they’re offering Prototype and Prototype 2 for just $9.99. Scoop ’em up!

There are some fantastic t-shirts up for sale today as well! (more…)

I have returned! I was gone for the last few days at MEPACon, the Mid-Eastern Pennsylvania Gaming Convention. I went just to play a lot of fourth edition D&D, but people were playing Pathfinder and other tabletop RPGs as well, and there was also an entire room dedicated to nothing but board games. We ended up playing seven mods total over three days, which was exhausting. I spent the day yesterday just trying to recover from it all! And, sadly, doing laundry. Oh, and playing Plants vs. Zombies on my iPad. Anthony found out I had never played it before and forced it upon me. Hours later, I resurfaced, and I felt enlightened.

So, what’s up with the deals, you ask? Well, Amazon’s having a sports game deal: Buy Two EA Sports Games, Get One Free. Oh, and that sale on Xbox 360 consoles is still going strong, so if you’re like my friend, who has had six 360s red ring on him, you might want to stock up. Other than being tempted by that deal, I also really want to buy Saints Row The Third: The Full Package. Yikes! Stop it, gaming industry! I am already broke and have a huge backlog.

And now for the t-shirts! (more…)
