Daily Scoop: October 19, 2015 – Game-filled weekend

This weekend was absolutely incredible! We went to Cipher Prime’s awesome art show on Friday night, then I had book club Saturday during the day, then we went to a Carnival-themed birthday party Saturday night, and on Sunday, we played board games all day long at a friend’s house. I mean really all day – more than 12 straight hours. It was glorious! I played Codenames, Troll, Hula Hippos, Body Boggle, Adventure Time Fluxx, and a few super-secret prototypes. It was a total blast!

But now it’s time to get back to reality. Which means it’s time for me to talk about deals! Over at Humble, there’s the brand new Humble Mobile Bundle: Kemco. Pay $1 or more to unlock Symphony of the Origin, Eclipse of Illusion, and Eve of the Genesis HD. Beat the average to unlock Silver Nornir, Fortuna Magus, and Legend of Ixtona. Once they reach certain stretch goals, they’ll be adding more games to that latter group as well.

Steam has 142 brand new Weeklong Deals! You can get some of my favorites on sale right now, including Titan Souls for $7.49, Screencheat for $11.24, and Titan Attacks! for $4.99. The Daily Deal is OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood, which is just $7.49.

And now, time for t-shirts! (more…)

Daily Scoop: October 12, 2015 – I’m back!

I had an amazing weekend, Internet! I was the officiant at my sister’s wedding on Friday, and it was lovely. Then I took Saturday to do absolutely nothing at all. Anthony and I played some video games, listened to some podcasts, and just chilled out. We even watched a movie! Then we got back to work yesterday. I’m off from my day job today, so I got some more work done today as well. All in all, it’s been an amazing four-day weekend!

Speaking of amazing, you have less than 24 hours to pick up the Humble Indie Bundle 15! If you already love Gang Beasts, just go straight for the higher tiers that give you physical figures. Otherwise, pay the $10 to get the game and be awestruck!

There are 195 new Weeklong Deals at Steam! That’s a lot of games. Get Primal Carnage for $1.99, Creativerse for $9.99, Luftrausers for $2.49, and one of my favorites, Particle Mace, for an absurd $0.19. Today’s Daily Deal is Toy Soldiers: War Chest.

Daily Scoop: October 7, 2015 – Books on games

Last night, we had a group of friends over to see if we could resurrect our old Blood Bowl board game league. It went really well, and afterwards, we played Codenames, which might be my favorite game right now. We went to bed late and I’m exhausted, but it was definitely worth it!

Speaking of worth it, there’s a brand new video game book bundle over at Story Bundle, called the Video Game Bundle 7.0.
