Daily Scoop: March 17, 2014 – Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

It’s St. Patrick’s Day, and we got a nice amount of snow – though not enough to actually stop the city from functioning. I could have gone for a nice quiet day at home, snowed in with some hot chocolate and video games, but alas! It just wasn’t enough. I mean, I’m grateful I got some time to do that this weekend, but the weekend just never feels like it’s long enough.

Let’s talk about deals, shall we? Steam’s new Daily Deal is Mars: War Logs, which is 75% off at $3.74. They’ve also got a bunch of new Weeklong Deals, including Deathspank for $4.49, Spore for $4.99, Warp for $2.99, and many more.

There are lots of games for sale at the Humble Store as well. Card City Nights is $1.99, Teslagrad is $7.99, and the Total War Grand Master Collection is $41.24 (from $164.99 – yowza). Scoop ’em up!

Time for a whole bunch of Pokemon shirts!

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m pretty excited to throw some eggs in Yoshi’s New Island this weekend! I just finished up the original not long ago – mainly because Anthony Amato told me it was one of his favorite games and that I just had to play it. So I’m really in the zone!

Tuesday has finally arrived, and I can’t wait to get my TowerFall on tonight! I even gave in and picked up another DualShock 4, though I still need two more to get the full experience (and two more people – Anthony Amato and I can’t play them all ourselves). I’m so excited!

There are a couple of good deals happening today. The Humble Mobile Bundle 4 has some new games added to the unlockables section. Pay what you want for Catan, Vector, Riptide GP2, and Zombie Gunship.
