Daily Scoop: December 1, 2015 – Here comes the holiday season!

That’s actually sort of a lie – the holiday season is definitely already in full swing. And so is the holiday weather! It’s a dreary day here in Philadelphia, and all I want to do is curl up on the couch and play Fallout 4. But in all fairness, that’s all I’ve wanted to do since I got it, so that’s not really saying much.

In case you’re trying to live a different life and play video games other than that one, there are lots of sales happening at the Humble Store that you might be interested in. Valhalla Hills: Two-Horned Helmet Edition is $35.99, Lego Jurassic World is $23.99, and Shoppe Keep is $5.59.

There are lots of deals at Steam as well. They have 30 new Weeklong Deals, including The Last Tinker: City of Colors for $3.99, Bad Rats: The Rats’ Revenge for $0.24, and Agent Awesome for $4.99. The Daily Deal is Magicka 2 for $7.49, which was just free on PlayStation Plus last month, and is totally worth buying if you don’t own it.

Just four shirts today, but they’re all awesome! (more…)
