Daily Scoop: October 14, 2015 – Some great sales!
It’s a beautiful day here in Philadelphia, and all I want to do is go home and curl up with a good video game! I haven’t picked up Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection yet, but I’m so, so tempted. I really want to see them all remastered, and I especially want to replay the second one, which is my favorite. Maybe I’ll pick it up soon! We’ll see. I also just found out there are BioShock Funko Pops and I’m currently inconsolable.

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!

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!

Today’s the day – Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is out! [Ed. Note: Nicole got a little overeager, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection will be out on October 9] I didn’t pick it up – I mean, I want to, don’t get me wrong, but I have so many games in my backlog that I can’t in good conscience do it. So, I’m just going to watch from afar and try to get through some of these other games so that maybe, just maybe, when it goes on sale, I can pick it up and not feel guilty. Ha! Yeah right.
