Daily Scoop: July 29, 2014 – Grumpy Cat
As I may have mentioned here before, some friends and I get together on Mondays to watch the Bachelor series. Last night, on the season finale, the producers brought out Grumpy Cat to mock the main character’s hilarious frown face. I totally lost it! And I actually think Grumpy Cat should have a game made about her. Someone needs to get on that!

Daily Scoop: July 28, 2014 – Another Monday
Hello there, faithful readers! It is Monday again, and while I usually dread Mondays, I was hard at work all weekend and didn’t leave the house at all, so it was nice to go outside, even if it was to come to work. It doesn’t hurt that it’s gorgeous outside!
Anyway, let’s talk about games! I hit a pretty big milestone this weekend – I finally got the Platinum Trophy in Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch! And Anthony Amato and I finally got all 14 Red Skulls in TowerFall: Ascension. So what games are we going to play next? Let’s see what’s on sale!

Daily Scoop: July 25, 2014 – Great t-shirt day
Last night’s game jam judging was amazing! We got to play so many terrific games, and lots of people loved our game, Party Pooper! We didn’t win anything, but I’m still pretty confident that our game rocks, and with more than two hours of work on it, I think it would go places. For right now, it’s going in the queue of “games we want to make.”

Daily Scoop: July 21, 2014 – Creating a home in Terraria
When Anthony Amato and I started dating, we played a little bit of Terraria. Well, he played a lot – I played a little. Now that we have much better computers, we’ve started playing it again. We had some connectivity issues (boy can it be a butt to play multiplayer on PC!), but I think we’re ready to start building. Or rather, Anthony has built a lot, and I think I’m ready to move in. :D

It’s Friday, hooray! And that means getting time to finally relax after a long week. There are tons of things going on in Philly, but the truth is, I kind of just want to go home and play video games and maybe eat some water ice. That’s OK, right?

The Destiny beta begins today for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 owners. Well, Sony players would already be in it, if it weren’t for the PSN being down. It’s a great game from what we’ve seen so far, so I’m not surprised at the network-crashing high volume.
