It’s Friday, woo! I’m really excited about having a three-day weekend, mainly because I want to play some more video games. I finished up Papers, Please yesterday (which I highly recommend buying right now) and I am looking forward to getting through some other games I’ve started. And maybe, you know, doing laundry, or something. (Boring.)

Looking for some new indie games? Check out the latest bundle over at Indie Royale! Pay more than the average for PixelJunk Shooter (one of my all-time favorites!), Gun Monkeys, Megabyte Punch, Ride ’em Low, Stronghold HD, and Hexcells. Pay $7 or more to unlock a bonus album!

Steam is also having a great deal this weekend – they’re offering 50% off of Saints Row IV (putting it down to a smooth $19.99), and you can play it for free until Sunday at 1PM PST! Now’s your chance to play this ridiculous sequel and decide if you want to buy it (though if you do, you might want the Wub Wub edition. Just saying.).

And now, for today’s t-shirts! (more…)

Getting ready for the weekend? Looking for some games to play? Well, look no further than the latest Humble Weekly Sale, which is all about Bohemia Interactive. Pay what you want for ArmA II, Take On Helicopters, UFO: Afterlight, Alpha Prime, ArmA: Gold Edition, and ArmA Tactics. Pay more than $6 to unlock Carrier Command: Gaea Mission, ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead, and ArmA II: DayZ Mod (created by Dean Hall). This is a great deal!

It’s a beautiful Wednesday, and I’m really excited to be on the 2013 Year in Review episode of the Perpetual Geek Machine podcast tonight! I’ll be sure to link it as soon as it goes live. It’s always a great time with those guys!

Well, that was a lovely weekend, wasn’t it? The weather was perfect, the days are getting slightly longer, and the gaming is absolutely exquisite. We played so many games this weekend that my head is spinning. And Anthony Amato has gotten addicted to a neat Lego program that is sort of like Autocad but for Legos, which is mind blowing. All in all, a brilliant time! I hope you also were able to play lots of games, and that one of those games was Torchlight II, and that you then bought the game. If that’s the case, you should leave me a comment so we can be Steam friends and play together!

Speaking of digital games on the cheap, Amazon has Ace Patrol Pack for $5.99, Brothers – A Tale of Two Sons for $7.99, and How to Survive for $7.49, among others.

The Humble Store has a new deal as well – Nidhogg is on sale for $11.99 – and there are also some digital deals at Steam. Today’s deal is Surgeon Simulator on sale for $3.39. Scoop ’em up!

And, of course, I’ve got some t-shirts for you: (more…)

Steam is offering Torchlight II free-to-play this weekend until Sunday at 1PM PST. On top of that, it’s on sale for just $4.99, or get a four-pack for $14.99 – that’s 75% off! We’ve been playing this game a lot lately, and I can assure you that this is a pretty great deal.

There’s also a sale going on at GOG.com that’s just called Adventures NOW! The sale includes Tales of Monkey Island for $5.24, Sam and Max: The Devil’s Playhouse for $5.24, and Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures for $2.99.

And now, time for shirts! (more…)

Anyone else out there using Raptr? I’m trying to get the hang of it, but it’s frustrating that it doesn’t work the same with every system. I can register my 3DS, but it doesn’t show what games I’m playing. It spams about PC games connected to my Steam account, but barely knows when I play games on the PSN. What’s the deal? I need the whole world to know the embarrassing number of hours I spend gaming. Get on it, Raptr.

A new week, a new Humble Weekly Bundle! This time, it’s Frozenbyte, with Shadowgrounds, Trine, and Jack Claw Prototype. Pay more than $6 to get Shadowground Survivor and Trine 2 Complete Story. And, as always, soundtracks are included.

There’s also a new bundle over at Indie Royale as well. Pay whatever the current minimum is for A Valley Without Wind, A Valley Without Wind 2, Cognition Episode 1: The Hangman, Cognition Episode 2: The Wise Monkey, Dungeon Hearts, Pid, Richard & Alice, and Waveform. Pay $6 or more for a bonus album!

Finally, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is another Midweek Madness deal at Steam for $7.49. The deal lasts until tomorrow.

Just one t-shirt today! (more…)

Remember all that talking I did about Hammerwatch? Well, Anthony Amato and I beat it last night, and I can officially say that it’s one of those NES-hard games. I mean, just playing the game makes that clear, but the ending is a real punch in the face. If you’re aching for a serious challenge, you definitely should pick it up.

Speaking of games you should pick up, there are lots of Bit.Trip games on sale at the Humble Store right now, to complement Runner 2 being in the latest Humble Bundle. You can get Bit.Trip Beat, Bit.Trip Runner, and Bit.Trip Void, all for $1.99 each.

But wait – there’s more! Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is the Midweek Madness game at Steam, on sale for $9.99. Amazon also has some good Digital Deals right now, including Borderlands 2 Game of the Year Edition for $29.99, as well as The XCOM Collection and The Bureau: XCOM Declassified for $14.99 each.

And now, time for t-shirts! (more…)
