Daily Scoop: October 3, 2014 – Hyper Light Drifter

The closed beta for Hyper Light Drifter Kickstarter backers started last night at midnight, and it is wonderful. It’s so deep and beautiful, and I’m really eager to get back to it as soon as I can!

For those of you not in the beta, don’t worry – I have some deals you can pick up and start playing right now. Steam has a great Daily Deal going on right now, which is the Ubi Arcade Pack. For $19.99, you get Child of Light, Valiant Hearts: The Great War, and Trials Fusion. Don’t want the bundle? Get them individually for $7.49, $7.49, and $9.99, respectively.

There’s a brand new Humble Weekly Bundle happening right now, too. Pay what you want for Crouching Pony Hidden Dragon, Gauge, Puddle, and The Mysterious Cities of Gold. Pay $5 or more to unlock Wooden Sen’Sey, Storm, and Poof. I want to get it just for Mysterious Cities of Gold!

Finally, time for t-shirts!

Daily Scoop: October 1, 2014 – Who wants to play video games?

ME! The answer is me. I just want to sit around and play games all night tonight. I know I can’t, because I have too much work to do, but it’s not stopping me from wanting to. Also, we’re one day closer to Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel coming out. WOO! This month isn’t so bad so far.

The Humble Store is having a special promo for Team 17 games right now. Hit them up and pick up Superfrog HD for $2.49, Worms Armageddon for $3.74, and Light for $7.79, among others.

Over at Steam, the Daily Deal is Prototype 2, which is on sale for $9.99. But, more importantly, the Midweek Madness deal is the awesome Torchlight II for just $4.99! You should definitely pick that up for sure right now. Do it!

Once again, not many t-shirts, but some good ones, at least!

Daily Scoop: September 30, 2014 – Last day of September

Tomorrow is the first day of October, and you know what that means – time to really start putting together the Halloween costumes! Anthony Amato and I have known what we’ve wanted to be for a while, but we just have to actually get all of the components. Then it’s just time to party!

You’ve still got some time to pick up all those bundles at Humble Bundle, some of which are ending soon. You’ve still got plenty of time for the PC and Android 11 Bundle and the Humble Mobile Bundle 8, but time is running out for the Leading Ladies Weekly Bundle and the 11 Bit Studios Flash Bundle.

As always, Steam has lots of specials that you’ll want to keep your wallet far away from. Duke Nukem Forever is $4.99, Dragon Age: Origins – Ultimate Edition is $7.49, and my personal favorite, Borderlands 2 Game of the Year Edition, is on sale for a measly $9.99. Scoop ’em up!

Not many t-shirts again today…

Daily Scoop: September 29, 2014 – Flash Sale!

Monday is back with a vengeance, and we’re all mourning the wonderful weekends we had. In our case, we went to Ratha Yatra, created characters for a 5e D&D game, and played tons of board games. Oh, and we did a lot of work on RESISTOR_, which is unsurprising. Heck, I even got a chance to play a little First Light!

Speaking of all the games, there’s a brand new Flash Bundle happening at Humble Bundle right now. Pay what you want for Anomaly: Warzone Earth, Anomaly: Warzone Earth Mobile Campaign, Sleepwalker’s Journey, and Funky Smugglers. Pay $6 or more to unlock Anomaly Korea, Anomaly 2, and the bonus content for Anomaly 2. Finally, pay $10 or more to unlock SPACECOM.

Steam has a new Daily Deal as well. It’s everyone’s favorite Surgeon Simulator 2013, which is on sale for $2.49. You should scoop it up!

Just a few t-shirts today…

Daily Scoop – September 26, 2014 – Weekend at last

I was going to make the subject “Weird at last,” but then you’d all know that I’ve been listening to Welcome to Night Vale a lot. Well, actually, I guess that’s not a bad thing – just bad that it took me so long to start, and now I can’t get enough of it. If you haven’t started yet, I highly recommend it!

Anyway! Let’s talk about deals. There’s not much going on today – Steam’s Daily Deal is Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion for $9.99, which is 74% off. Their Weekend Deals include the Valve Complete Pack, which has Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Portal 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and Team Fortress 2, among many others. It costs just $24.99, which is pretty absurd for how much content you’re getting.

There’s not much else going on, though you can always, always count on the Humble Store for at least a few deals. Pick up Pid for $1.99 or Shelter for $2.99.

And finally, t-shirts:
