It's been a while since we've done a co-op month in review here at Co-Optimus, but I thought it was worth pointing out that we have a brand new staff member that is devoted solely to improving our database. As such we've added almost 300 games this month closing several gaps and adding a lot of the newly announced titles during the time that was traditionally E3.
The Co-Opticrew is delving into the mire of Steam's Summer Sale and hoping to emerge with as many precious baubles as our wallets will allow. You'd think year after year of discount-diving experience would make us a bit more savvy with our hard-earned dollars, but that's not quite the case. However, we have posted a missive from our journey that may help guide any newcomers. It's definitely worth checking out if you're wanting to pick up a few co-op games over the next week or two.
The Steam Summer Sale 2020 is in full effect. If you didn't know it's the annual time of year where your wallet screams for mercy because "oh, it's only $4" times 37. There are plenty of big name co-op games on sale, you've got your Borderlands 3, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and Monster Hunter: World among dozens of others. But we're going to dig a bit deeper than page 1 and show you some of our favorite games we've found on deep discount.
The Co-Opticrew is throwing caution to the wind this weekend and playing whatever our sweet, gamer hearts desire. While we typically advocate for a tightly-scheduled cadence of video game delights, we've decided to add a little variety into the mix. After all, what's life without some spontaneity? Who knows - if this weekend goes well, maybe we'll replicate these ideas in other parts of our lives. Anyone down to hitchhike across the country next month?
Now that Sony and Microsoft have revealed more details about their upcoming consoles, you'd think the Co-Opticrew would be at each other's throats this weekend over who has the better launch lineup. Not so, it seems. Maybe ideals and opinions have mellowed over time, or maybe it just doesn't matter as much considering the current state of the world. Either way, though, we have a pretty peaceful weekend lined up.
A bit less than a year ago (in August 2019), I reviewed HyperX’s Double Shot PBT Keycaps (in White). I praised them in form and function, considering them a non-essential, but reasonably priced, step up in quality as well as presentation. This year, HyperX has revisited these keycaps and has come out with an upgraded version. In this review, ...
Our partners over at TeePublic are having a sitewide sale right now on t-shirts. We've got plenty in our co-op themed store for you to choose from with prices starting below $12. But if you are already packed to the gills with shirts, perhaps you could add a growing fashion trend item to your collection - namely a cloth mask for your shopping trips to the grocery store...or better yet your couch co-op sessions at a 6 foot distance!
And just like that, another sweet, sweet weekend has been plucked from the vine. Will it be sweet? Will it be tart? Who knows! All we can say for certain is that it contains a juicy center filled with video games. In just a few hours, the Co-Opticrew will be embarking on a lengthy taste test, and we'll let you know about all the best parts come Monday.
The Co-Opticrew is back in action this weekend and, wouldn't you know it, we're planning on playing even more video games. That's right, we're grown adults capable of making our own decisions, and if those decisions revolve around careening through space or obliterating fighting robots, then so be it. Maybe one day, we'll have a weekend filled with yard work and reviewing our grocery budgets, but until then, you know where to find us.
Most of the Co-Opticrew has an extra long weekend coming up, and we aren't about to let it go to waste. You won't find us groggily staring at a blank Netflix screen at 3AM, no sir. Nobody's gonna catch us lying in a pile of Four Loko cans while Avril Lavigne's "Sk8er Boi" plays faintly from a nearby 6-disc CD player. Not a chance. We've got work to do, and by "work to do", I mean "video games to marathon through."
While financial experts around the world are working out just how badly the pandemic will affect the global economy, the Co-Opticrew has taken it upon themselves to bring about their own miniature economic investigation. First, we're taking an in-depth, undercover look at the safety conditions of dwarven miners. Then, we'll be figuring out how a monetary system is in any way possible on a remote island with approximately ten inhabitants.
