Daily Scoop: November 14, 2014 – Skeeball Champions!
So last night, my amazing skeeball team, the Alex Mack Daddies, won the championship! It was absolutely glorious. I’ve been on a league for a while now, but that was my first ever playoff win. I was so excited! I’m totally exhausted today, but it was worth it. And to come outside into the snow was wonderful, too!
There’s not too much going on today when it comes to deals. Over at the Humble Store, you can get Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor for $37.49, Frozen Synapse Prime for $21.24, The Sun and Moon for $8.99, and Mount and Blade: Warband for $4.99, among others. Over at Steam, the Daily Deal is Gone Home for $4.99, which is a great deal you should hop on right now.

Daily Scoop: November 13, 2014 – Bundle of Worms!
Hey everyone! I’m not sure where you live, but where I live, it’s gearing up to start snowing. That’s a bit early in the season for us, but I’m still pretty excited about it. I love sitting home snuggled up playing video games while it pours snow outside and covers everything up. It makes me feel like a kid again!
Let’s talk about deals! There’s a brand new Humble Weekly Bundle, and it’s called Team 17 Evolved. Pay what you want for Worms, Worms Armageddon, Worms Ultimate Mayhem Deluxe Edition, Worms Blast, Worms Pinball, Worms Crazy Golf, Superfrog HD, and Alien Breed Trilogy. Pay $6 or more to unlock Worms Revolution Gold, Worms Reloaded GOTY Edition, Overruled!, and Light. And finally, pay $15 or more to unlock Flockers and four copies of Worms Clan Wars. Whew! That’s a ton of games!
There are some new deals at Steam as well. They’re celebrating Far Cry this weekend, with a $10 franchise pack that includes Far Cry 3, Far Cry 3 – Blood Dragon, Far Cry, Far Cry 2: Fortune’s Edition, and the Far Cry 3 Deluxe Bundle DLC.

City of Alamogordo begins selling excavated E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial cartridges
As promised, the city of Alamogordo has begun selling some of the unearthed Atari 2600 cartridges found during this Spring’s landfill excavation. Nearly 100 titles are now up for bid on the city’s eBay page including E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, Asteroids, Missile Command, Defender, and many others.
Bidding for all titles began at $50, but the price of the most sought after titles has quickly gone up. Unsurprisngly, the copies of E.T. are currently the most expensive games in Alamogordo’s auction with one copy garnering $520 in bids with eight days remaining (as of this writing). So if you want a piece of history, be prepared to empty out your piggy bank.
For those of you who’d rather experience the Alamogordo landfill excavation for a cheaper price, be sure to log in to Xbox Live on November 20 to stream a free download of Atari: Game Over, a Microsoft-produced documentary that explores the history of Atari and this Spring’s big dig.
Daily Scoop: November 4, 2014 – Call of Duty day!
Today is the launch of yet another Call of Duty game, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. I haven’t gotten hooked on a CoD game since Black Ops, and I’m not going to let it happen again now. Well, OK, I might. But not, like, right now.
Anyway, let’s talk deals! The Humble Store has Spintires on sale for $17.99, and you can also grab Cosmonautica, which is in early access.
Over at Steam, the Mideweek Madness is Banished, which is on sale for $9.99. The Daily Deal is one I’m pretty stoked about – it’s Gauntlet for just $13.39. You can also get a four-pack for $40.19. Grab three friends and get down to business!
There is an absurd number of awesome shirts today. Hit the jump to check them out!
Daily Scoop: November 3, 2014 – Crazy Monday
It’s Monday again, and this time, it means business. This day started out with my ceiling leaking in my bedroom and hasn’t gotten much better since. But it is a gorgeous day outside, so I can’t complain too much! I’m done with all that wind from the weekend.
There’s not a lot going on today deal-wise. Steam has 66 games on sale in their Weeklong Deals. You can get VVVVVV for $2.49, Lead and Gold for $3.39, and Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising for $0.99, among many others. And their Daily Deal is Hatoful Boyfriend, which is just $4.99 today! Scoop ’em up!

Atari: Game Over documentary will premiere on November 20
Director Zak Penn has confirmed (via Twitter) that the Atari: Game Over documentary will make its Xbox Live debut on November 20:
Atari: Game Over premiering Nov 20 on XBOX #ataridoc
— Zak Penn (@zakpenn) October 31, 2014
Atari: Game Over will tell the story of the game company’s downfall, with a particular focus on E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, which was the subject of a massive dig in an Alamogordo landfill back in April. During the dig, Penn and his team discovered a treasure trove of Atari 2600 titles under the dirt, confirming a long-held belief that the company trashed thousands (perhaps millions) of copies of unsold games.
With the recent closure of Xbox Entertainment Studios, the film has the distinction of being one of the first (and one of the last) film productions created by Microsoft.
