An Update

Technorati Tags: ,

I thought I should post an update. The good news is that I’ve got a change of job which means that I’m going to be on a more regular schedule and will have time each day to post updates to the site here. I’m finishing the last two days of my current position and have the weekend off before moving into my new position, so I’m going to take the time to recharge my batteries and get my head in order so that I can start posting again on Monday. I may end up posting a couple of deals at the weekend, but regular posting will resume on Monday.

Yay!

For those of you like me who don’t yet have an XBOX Live Gold account (although I’ve yet to get an XBOX 3560, so the point is currenty moot), you can score yourself 100 Microsoft Points if you join up today.

Web: My Son’s Future Gig

 

My son loves LEGO, even more than I did at his age, and he’s got tons of it strewn all over the house. I can see him ending up becoming a LEGO artist like Nathan Sawaya, who gets paid to create LEGO works. Can you imagine that? That’s a sweet gig. Nathan was asked to make a Master Chief from LEGO, and so, he did.

Deals: GameFly Non-Subscriber Free Shipping

GameFlyFreeNonSubscriber 

According to Cheap Ass Gamer, GameFly are offering free shipping on a select group of titles until the 24th September, 2007 in their store. There’s a rather nice selection there for multiple platforms with some good games, some great games, but nothing you can’t probably pick up cheap elsewhere. GameFly store games all come in excellent condition and with a manual (if you care about such a thing). I don’t tend to worry about manuals much myself.

Deals: Toys R Us Buy 2 Get 1 Free

ToysRUs2OneFree

Joystiq reports that Toys R Us are doing Buy 2 Get 1 Free on all their video games in-store and online. There’s actually a heck of a lot of games under $20 that are half decent that you can use to complete your collection. For the newer consoles, it’s a great way to pick up the few games that you’re still looking out for.

I’m considering picking up the few Wii titles that I’m still waiting on. At that price, it makes it worthwhile getting them this way rather than trying to get them second hand. Of course, a couple of the games aren’t available online and some aren’t out yet. I’ll have to hit the store tonight on the way to Wed Game Night with Scooter to see what’s in stock.

HellGateBeta

Flagship Studios, made up alumni from Blizzard and the Diablo II team, are almost at the point where they want to show the rest of the world their game. Advance beta signups are available at their main account page. There’s no date listed for when the beta comes open but this is one game I’ve been waiting for some time. I can’t wait to get my mitts on this thing! Go on, and sign up today.

News: InstantAction.com Coming Soon

InstantActionAnnouncement

InstantAction.com is a new game site coming soon that aims to offer lots of web-based games that don’t require any downloads. The new games are allegedly going to be arcade-centric and have top-notch content from some of the Garage Games team. A number of the games will be multiplayer. I’m betting that they’ll be using a new version of Flash that allows for streaming downloads of additional content. We’ve already seen some pretty impressive Flash gaming in the wild lately, but I’ll bet there’s more to come. The site isn’t live yet, but if you sign up at the main page you can be notified when the site goes live. Never fear because I’ve signed up and will let you know via this site.
