I haven’t been to D&D Encounters much this season because… well… it was really terrible. At my table, we had five deaths in four weeks – yikes! And I mean actual deaths. My character went from single digits to negative bloodied in one hit. That should never even be a thing that happens! Anyway, the next season will be starting up soon, so here’s hoping it’s a better one!

There are no good deals for you today. In fact, there’s nothing interesting at all going on at Amazon, unless you count the recommendations it’s been making me (trust me, you don’t want to know). But there is one awesome thing going on, and that’s the Ukiyo-e Heroes Kickstarter, an amazing Japanese woodblock print project. It’s a mashup of that old art style with – you guessed it – video games. It’s incredible and you should totally throw money at it.

Just one t-shirt today, but it’s a pretty good one… (more…)

I know, I know, I spend way too many Wednesdays talking about how happy I am that it’s the middle of the week. But be truthful: you’re happy the week’s almost halfway done, too! Don’t deny it. It’s practically a cold, hard fact at this point!

Anyway, what deals are up today? Well, Amazon’s having a sale on Wii products, which includes Just Dance 3 and Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 for $9.99.

Too bad Kirby’s Epic Yarn is $24.96 because I would be all over that for less than $10.

I’ve got a few shirts for you, though one has nothing to do with video games… (more…)

Not much going on today, folks! I mean, except for one tiny little thing: an Amazon Video Game Gold Box Event!

• 6:00AM PDT/9:00AM EDT – Shred away the summer heat… – SSX for $34.99
• 8:00AM PDT/11:00AM EDT – This game will have your knees shaking as you feel like you’re truly in the ring. – WWE ’12 for $29.99
• 10:00AM PDT/1:00PM EDT – Action RPG Meets First Person Shooter – Game of the Year Edition! – our guess is Borderlands
• 12:00PM PDT/4:00PM EDT – Lightning strikes in the great groundbreaking collector’s edition. – could be FF XIII-2
• 3:00PM PDT/5:00PM EDT – Enjoy your vacation with this horror thriller. – possibly Dead Island
• 5:00PM PDT/9:00PM EDT – Feel the Payne! – Max Payne 3, anyone?
• 8:00PM PDT/11:00PM EDT – For the serious fighting game enthusiast! – probably some type of ludicrous controller…

A few shirts as well for you today, faithful readers! (more…)

I’m home sick and feeling utterly horrendous! So I’m laying in bed, hugging my laptop to me and wishing I didn’t have to move ever. Unfortunately, I need to feed myself at some point, and probably bathe. I did get out of bed to go around the corner and get bloodwork done, which was a lot less fun than it sounds (and it doesn’t really sound all that fun, does it?). But hey, at least this has given me a chance to see all the great deals that are out there today… and try not to spend money on them while I’m at it!

First up is the awesome sale going on over at Best Buy. It’s pretty ridiculous. You can get Infamous 2 for $9.99, and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations for $9.99, which John and I are getting, in that order. There are also a ton of accessories for super cheap, like a Sony brand Memory Stick Micro M2 – 4GB for $1.99, regular price $34.99. Either someone over at Best Buy has lost their mind, or this sale is freaking awesome. Perhaps both?

Amazon’s also got some new sales up this week, though they aren’t as great as Best Buy’s…

• Just Dance Greatest Hits on sale for $30 for Wii and Xbox 360
• Save 30% on Test Drive: Ferrari Legends for PS3 and Xbox 360
• Get 25% off Akai Katana for Xbox 360
• Get $35 off Ear Force DPX21 Headset and 5.1/7.1 Channel Dolby Surround Sound when you buy NCAA
• Save 30% on Plantronics Gamecom P90
• Two Thrustmaster deals: save $65 on Thrustmaster T500RS Racing Wheel (making it just $534.99!) and save $12 on Thrustmaster Ferarri Wireless F430 Gamepad

That’s all for deals… unless those aren’t good enough for you, in which case, go stick your head back in the Steam sale.

And now: t-shirt time! Two great Mario-themed shirts for you today: (more…)
