Daily Scoop: October 15, 2014 – Still no code for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

Well, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel has been out for a day and a half now, and many people who received free vouchers from PAX East and PAX Prime still have not received the game. While I don’t want to complain about something that’s free, it’s hard not to be frustrated. I thought I’d already be level 10 by now, but instead, I haven’t even downloaded the game to my system yet. This is really bad form, 2K. There has been no official word on it – just people posting in forums, commiserating. Here’s hoping all of our codes come soon!

Anyway, it’s not like there aren’t plenty of other games to play in the interim! There are a couple of sales happening over at the Humble Store. Brand new Legend of Grimrock II is $21.59, Octodad: Dadliest Catch is $7.49, and Fotonica is $4.99. Over at Steam, the Daily Deal is 66% off Deponia: The Complete Journey, putting it down to $13.59.

There are some new games to pick up over at Indie Royale in their Mixer 9 Bundle! Beat the average and score Krunch, Jets’n’Guns Gold, Dungeons the Eye of Draconus, StaudSoft’s Synthetic World, The Legend of the Artifact, 8BitBoy, Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted, Chompy Chomp Chomp, Coldfire Keep, and Victim of Xen.

There are a few sweet t-shirts today – hit the jump to check them out!

Daily Scoop: October 14, 2014 – Delay on Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel PAX Codes

I got a free code for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel back at PAX East, and Gearbox also gave away codes at their PAX Prime panel as well. They said they would be sending them out starting at 10:00 AM (Pacific Time), but so far, all I’m seeing are people complaining about not getting them. Though in all fairness, the people who DID get them are probably off playing the game and not sitting around refreshing Twitter. Here’s hoping we get ours soon!

If you’re not into those Borderlands games, don’t worry – there’s plenty you can pick up today. There’s the brand new Humble Mozilla Bundle over at Humble, which is all browser games. Pay what you want for Super Hexagon, Aaaaa! for the Awesome, Osmos, Zen Bound 2, and Dustforce DX. Beat the average to unlock Voxatron and FTL: Advanced Edition. Finally, pay $8 or more to unlock Democracy 3.

That’s not all. At Steam, the Midweek Madness deal is a massive sale on the Tomb Raider franchise, and the recent reboot is just $3.99. And over at Indie Royale, they’ve got the Soapsuds Bundle. Beat the average and get Asteria, Procyon, Revolution Ace, Morphopolis, Blast Em!, and Brink of Consciousness: Dorian Gray Syndrome.

There are a couple of great shirts today, so let’s jump right in!
