It’s that time of year… when your backlog is about to get even bigger, and your digital backlog is so embarrassing that you don’t even want to look at it. But you have to acknowledge it, because it’s time for the massive Steam Winter Sale!

There are some crazy sales there, like Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain for $40.19, Spelunky for $3.74, Killer Is Dead – Nightmare Edition for $3.99, and indie darling Undertale for $7.99. They’re also having huge sales on the franchies for The Elder Scrolls, The Witcher, and Devil May Cry.

There’s also a shiny new bundle at Humble – the Humble Square Enix Bundle 3! Pay $1 or more for The Last Remnant, Life is Strange Episode 1, Murdered: Soul Suspect, and Tomb Raider I, II, and III. Beat the average to unlock Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, Just Cause Collection, Front Mission Evolved, Gyromancer, and Yosumin. Pay $8.99 or more to unlock Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, Tomb Raider GOTY Edition, and Hitman Absolution: Elite Edition.

There are no shirts today, but that shouldn’t stop you from shirt-surfing! (more…)

I played so much Fallout 4 this weekend it was kind of embarrassing! I just can’t put it down once I start playing. I can’t wait for the holiday break!

I lucked out this week and didn’t have to go to jury duty today! I don’t know how I got that lucky. It means I’m on the list to do it next year, but I’m OK with that!

It’s nearly the weekend, especially for me, as I have jury duty tomorrow! So while it’s not a day off, it’s not a day at work, so it’s a weird in-between kind of day. I’m just hoping I can get some gaming time in while I’m there. Is that even allowed?

Anyway, there’s a brand new Humble Weekly Bundle, and it’s called SPORTS! Pay what you want for Max Gentleman (with the Triple DLC Pack), Qvadriga, and OlliOlli. Beat the average to get WRC4, Vertiginous Golf, and one of my all-time favorites, Sportsfriends. Pay $10 or more to unlock OOTP Baseball 16.

Over at Steam, the Weekend Deal is on Kerbal Space Program! Nab the game for just $23.99. The Daily Deal is Evolve, which is on sale for $13.59. It’s also hyper cheap on Amazon right now as well!

I’m at that sweet spot in the games I’m playing where I’ve been grinding long enough that, after weeks of not getting any Trophies, I’m knocking over a bunch at one time. It’s a great feeling! I fondly think about getting the Platinum in Persona 4, but I just don’t think that’s going to happen. A girl can dream…

Anyway, let’s talk about deals! There are some decent sales at the Humble Store right now. The Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1-3 Collection is $39.99, Bully is $3.74, and Magicka 2 is $12.49, among many others.

The Midweek Madness deal at Steam is early access to Stranded Deep, which you can pick up for $11.99. And I’m super excited to announce that Final Fantasy VI is on sale for $14.39.

There are only three t-shirts today, but they’re all fantastic! (more…)

Tonight I think we’re going to see the latest movie in the Hunger Games series, since we’re a bit behind on films. But I won’t lie – I think I’d rather go home and play more Fallout 4. It’s a problem, and I’m acknowledging it, but I still want to do it.

You don’t have much time left to get the Total War Encore at the Humble Weekly Bundle. Pay what you want for Medieval II: Total War Collection, Viking: Battle for Asgard, Shogun: Total War Collection, and a bunch of in-game resources and books.

I had an amazing weekend playing tons of games! I spent way too much time in both Fallout 4 and Persona 4, but also played so many great board games, including Pandemic Legacy, Deep Sea Adventure, and Schrödinger’s Cats. It was a blast!

I’ve been having so much fun in the Commonwealth that I did something unprecedented this year: I didn’t buy a single video game during any of the onlines sales. But today, Amazon’s Gold Box Deal is Destiny: The Taken King – Legendary Edition for just $29.99, and that is mighty tempting. Even worse is that Bloodborne is $19.99. I don’t know if I’m going to make it through this day!

Steam has a bunch of brand new Weeklong Deals if you’re looking for some PC games to play. Secret Ponchos is $7.49, Particle Mace is $0.99, and They Bleed Pixels is $2.49, just to name a few. The Daily Deal is Lethal League. You can get one copy for $4.75, two for $7.47, or a four pack for $13.59.

Just one t-shirt today! (more…)

It’s finally Friday! How are you going to spend your weekend? I’ve got a lot of tabletop gaming lined up, so I’m hoping this fever I have passes quickly. I’m hydrating and taking Tylenol and resting, but so far it’s showing no signs of stopping. Here’s hoping a little video gaming might help get it down!

Speaking of video gaming, there are some great deals happening right now. The Humble Store has a few great deals. Pick up the Call of Duty Warchest for $14.99, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter for $6.79, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII for $17.99, L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition for $7.49, and Max Payne 3 for $4.99. That’s a great list!

It doesn’t stop there, though – there are some great deals at Steam as well. The Weekend Deal is early access to Killing Floor 2 for $20.09, though you can play it right now for free. The Daily Deal is the Double Fine Bundle, which is pretty absurd. It’s just $19.99, and includes Broken Age, Brutal Legend, Pyschonauts, and much more – all with soundtracks included. Scoop ’em up!
