It’s been a long, crazy week for me! I flew to Los Angeles early Monday morning and stayed there for E3, then flew to Columbus for Origins Thursday night and stayed there until last night. I’ve never been happier to see my apartment! I just want to sleep for a week now. But truthfully, E3 really invigorated me when it comes to games, and there are so many new ones I want to get and old ones I want to add to my backlog!

Speaking of games, there are lots of great deals today. There are two bundles at Humble right now, and both are ending soon. The E3 2016 Digital Ticket has less than a day left.

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir released today for PlayStation 3, PS4, and Vita. I finally got a chance to play the demo last night, mostly because I wanted to see if I should order it or not. It’s so much fun! I think I might end up picking it up after all. But I still have Valkyria Chronicles Remastered unopened, so I should probably wait before I buy any other games!
