Daily Scoop: May 29, 2014 – Just a regular Thursday
There’s not too much excitement happening today… other than Philly Dev Night tonight. I’m excited to talk games all night with my friends, and to have a few post-GameLoop Philly discussions!
There are a few deals out there today that I’d like to share with you. First up are the deals over at Steam. The Weekend Deal is Europa Universalis IV, which is 75% at $9.99 until Monday at 10AM. The Daily Deal is one I know a lot of my friends will be excited about – it’s Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure for just $4.99. Time to get your scribble on with Maxwell!
Brand new this week is the Humble RPG Maker Bundle! Pay what you want for RPG Maker VX Ace, RPG Maker DLC Bundle #1, Skyborn, Sweet Lily Dreams, and RPG Maker – Free Games Bundle #1. Pay $6 or more to unlock RPG Maker XP, RPG Maker – Exclusive Resource Pack, RPG Maker DLC Bundle #2, To the Moon, Deadly Sin 2, and RPG Maker – Free Games Bundle #2. Pay $12 or more to unlock Game Character Hub, RPG Maker DLC Bundle #3, and Legionwood 2: Rise of the Eternal’s Realm. Whew! That’s a lot!
Finally, let’s take a look at what t-shirts are out there for you today! (more…)
Daily Scoop: May 28, 2014 – PAX Prime sold out already
Tickets to PAX Prime went on sale and sold out already, so if you were hoping to go and you happened to blink today, you’re out of luck. I mean, you’re out of regular luck – you can still try your luck on eBay, where you’ll probably end up paying more than three times the price. And, of course, there are three other PAXes to choose from now, so you’re much less limited than you used to be!
Anyway, let’s talk about deals! The Midweek Madness deal at Steam is Audiosurf, which is on sale for $8.99. Their Daily Deal is Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, which is down to $6.79.
If you’d rather snag a bundle, don’t worry – there’s one you can grab right now! Indie Royale‘s latest is called The Turing Bundle. Beat the current minimum for Eschalon: Book III, Eterium, 3 Stars of Destiny, Fractured Soul, and Motte Island. Pay $6 or more to unlock the bonus album.
And now, t-shirt time! (more…)

Now let’s talk about deals! The first one is a biggie – Infamous: Second Son is the Gold Box Deal of the Day at Amazon. It’s been marked down to $35.99, and it’s a game you need if you have a PS4.

I’ve got something important to announce… I leveled up yesterday! I gained enough experience from driving a moving truck that I have gained a new level. It was something I never in my life thought I would do, because I’ve always been too afraid. But I did it, and I was good at it! Go team Nicole!

Daily Scoop: May 19, 2014 – Birthday-filled weekend!
This weekend was an exciting one filled with birthday cake and homework! The former was delicious but the latter was tiring. I didn’t get a chance to play many video games, but I did learn a card game called 9 Holes of Golf, which was a lot of fun! I teamed up with my six-year-old cousin and we beat everyone else. Domination!
There’s a new Humble Daily Bundle, of course. This one’s called the Melee Bundle. Pay what you want for Guilty Gear Isuka. Pay more than the average to unlock Vanguard Princess. And finally, pay $10 or more to unlock Blade Symphony.
There’s also a new Daily Deal over at Steam. Today only, you can get Race the Sun for $3.39. Scoop it up!
