Press Start to view the latest Wreck-It Ralph trailer and posters
Wreck-It Ralph just gets more adorable with every trailer I see. Is it November 2nd yet, or what? We’ve also got some great new posters to show off. Hit the jump and try to guess every video game reference, if you can! (more…)
Daily Scoop: September 21, 2012 – Blands, Blands, Blands!
Wow. I’ve spent something like 27 hours in Pandora over the last few days. If I didn’t have to go to the doctor twice (four hours!) or DM for Encounters (three hours!) or sleep (too many hours!), it might have been more. Oh, and I’m back at work today, which eats into my Borderlands 2 time even more. While playing through solo with Zer0 is pretty tough, it’s worth it. He is seriously a badass.
No deals today. Nothing going on at all today. Everyone is just playing the games that came out in the last few months, or attacking their backlogs. Seriously – you don’t need anymore games. Don’t do it, bro!
Instead, go pre-order the new Borderlands book, Borderlands #2: Unconquered. Or get ready for World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria. Pick your flavor! Or do both. All the things!
Two pretty cool shirts for you to spend your boondollars on today: (more…)

Daily Scoop: September 17, 2012 – Borderlands 2 tonight!
I am freaking out over how excited I am about Borderlands 2 coming out at midnight tonight. Please don’t expect me to be coherent for a few days. I’m going to be destroying everything I see in Pandora for at least the first 24 hours. I’m playing it on the PlayStation 3, which seems to be depressing some of my friends, but oh well. I’m doing this! I’m making it happen.
Interested in playing with my friends and me while we wreak havoc across the planet? Leave a comment here or tweet at us (@WarpZoned) and tell me why you think you’re worth it. The luckiest person will get an invite to my PSN friends list and can see how pathetic my trophy collection really is.
Amazon’s got a few deals today:
- 20% off Darksiders II
- $50 off Logitech PlayStation 3 Driving Force GT Racing Wheel
- Get a $10 credit for pre-ordering Pro Evolution Soccer 2013
- $10 credit also available for pre-ordering Lego Lord of the Rings!
Sadly, this Monday brings us only two t-shirts! (more…)
Daily Scoop: September 14, 2012 – Friday, hooray!
It’s Friday at last! And I’m afraid I’m still sick. Fever + tummy problems = a sad panda. I am still slogging through it to do some laundry, though that cleaning I really wanted to get done is just going to have to get put off yet again. At least I can still play video games! Right now I’m deciding between more of The Last Story on the Wii or Link’s Awakening on my 3DS. Decisions, decisions…
There are a few deals going on at Target right now, including $10 off Madden NFL 13 and $20 off Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Scoop ’em up!
But the big news right now is that I found out there’s a midnight release of Borderlands 2 right here in Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love does not often hold these midnight releases, so I’m glad my most anticipated game of the year is one of them! Don’t expect me to be coherent next week, folks.
And now… t-shirts! (more…)

Daily Scoop: September 13, 2012 – Late scoop
Whew. After having a battle with the Internet people and then stopping off to pre-order Borderlands 2, then doing laundry and washing the dishes and feeding myself, I am wiped out. Having a fever on a beautiful day should be illegal. Also so should conglomerates that have a monopoly on Internet consumption. Also spiders, and expensive plane tickets.
As far as deals go, check out the Bargain Bin over at Gamefly for some games on the cheap. You can get Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City for $8.99, SOCOM 4 for $9.99, and UFC Undisputed 2010 for $12.99, among other things. Scoop ’em up!
There’s a definite Mario theme to today’s t-shirts… (more…)

Daily Scoop: September 12, 2012 – Encounters!
At last week’s Dungeons & Dragons Encounter session, my party did pretty well – they were able to defeat the ambushing svirfneblin and finish the encounter out. My boyfriend’s party, however, suffered a TPK (total party knockout), which left many disgruntled folks. They have created a new party from the ashes, and will try to survive the evening. We’ll see how that goes!
Nothing is going on today, really. I mean, other than the fact that I’ve decided to start using Twitter again, and through it, am kept in the loop way more than I ever was on Facebook. Also, I want to go to PAX Australia. I have family over there. What are the odds they are near PAX? (Please say good!)
I’ve got some interesting t-shirts for you today! Ready? (more…)

Daily Scoop: September 11, 2012 – Save your pennies
So, it’s Tuesday, and there’s really no deals. That is a good thing, though. Why, you ask? Well, because one sweet week from today, Borderlands 2 comes out. Why bother buying any games to clog up your backlog more when you’ve got a million hours you’re about to sink into Pandora? Seriously. Save your money for that and the book coming out the following week, Borderlands Unconquered.
There is one small exception, of course… today’s t-shirts. But first, this comic is pretty rad. And this one.
But yeah, shirts! (more…)
Daily Scoop: September 10, 2012 – A+ edition!
Woohoo! So all that hard work this term paid off – I got an A+ in a class I took! I’m so excited I can hardly contain myself. And now I’m officially 1/3 of the way done with this program! Just ten more classes to go, and this masters is MINE.
Anyway, how was your weekend, Internet? I spent it playing games, playing more games, and then playing some more games. Those games included Rainbow Moon, Dungeons & Dragons, A Link to the Past, and Cards Against Humanity. Pretty great list, right? Oh and we also saw Expendables 2, which was way more fun than I expected it to be. Chuck Norris stole the show.
What deals have I got for you today? Well, Amazon is selling Radiant Historia for $24.99! This DS game by Atlus is absolutely amazing and everyone should own it. It’s a time-travelling RPG with awesome characters, a great battle system, and a haunting soundtrack. Seriously – buy it! Oh, and if you pre-order World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, you can get into the Beta. If you’re going to buy it anyway, you might as well pre-order, am I right?
Check out the t-shirts I found after the break! (more…)
