Daily Scoop: February 5, 2016 – Huge sale happening at Steam

This weekend, my friends are in town from New Orleans, and I’m hoping we get a ton of gaming done! I would love it if we just had a pajama jammy jam and did nothing but game until the controllers ran out of juice. That’s a weekend plan I can really get behind!

There’s a new Humble Monthly offer that just started. This month, if you subscribe, you get Ark: Survival Evolved immediately as the early unlock.

Steam is having a massive Lunar New Year sale, which includes thousands of games. The Fallout franchise is 33-75% off, the XCOM franchise is $75-83% off, and the Tomb Raider franchise is 75% off. There are so many games available, like The Talos Principle for $9.99, King’s Quest for $7.49, and Crypt of the Necrodancer for $4.94.

Let’s start the weekend with a ton of t-shirts, shall we? (more…)

Commemorate final game in the series with this Limited Edition Uncharted 4 PS4 Bundle

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End will be out on April 26th, and Sony just announced a gorgeous 500 GB Limited Edition Uncharted 4 PlayStation 4 Bundle via the PlayStation Blog. It’s gray blue with an image of Drake silk-screened onto it, and comes with a matching DualShock 4 and, surprisingly, a physical copy of the game. It will have the phrase engraved in Drake’s ring – “Sic Parvis Magna,” which means “Greatness from Small Beginnings” – in gold on it. If you pre-order the bundle, you will also get “a voucher for an Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune Outfit, Golden Weapon Skin, and Uncharted Points to use in Multiplayer Mode.”

If you already have a PlayStation 4, fear not – the special DualShock 4 will be available in early March, and they’ll also be releasing a limited edition gray blue wireless headset as well, which will also have “Sic Parvis Magna” on it in gold.

They’ve announced prices for everything as well. The PlayStation 4 will be $399.99, the controller will be $64.99, and the headset will be $99.99. Pre-orders started yesterday.

It’s hard to not get choked up watching that video and hearing those familiar voices say, “One last time?” I’m going to miss Drake and Sully so much! Get in on the action on April 26th.

Daily Scoop: January 27, 2016 – Two great shirts today

As I frantically try to prep for PAX South, I’m not sure what video games to bring for the plane ride. Do I start Persona Q, or do I try to get the Platinum in Persona 4 Golden? Or do I take a break from the Persona universe altogether? No, no, that’s absurd. Right?

Anyway, let’s talk about deals! Over at the Humble Sale, they’ve got a lot of great offerings. Tabletop Simulator is $9.99, Rocksmith 2014 Edition is $9.99, and Dying Light is $19.97, among others.
