Thumb Grips

Hours and hours of gaming time means that your controllers take a beating. Your hands also get a bit sweaty after a while, so you might want to invest in a few pairs of thumb grips for your analog sticks. They are currently going for a good deal at a place that rhymes with ‘Schmaaroo’.

Coffee mugs

How else does one stay awake late into the night during a binge session of gaming? You could go the energy drink route, but those are not the healthiest things in the world. Coffee is your next best bet. So why not treat yourself to some cool new mugs this Cyber Monday? That ‘Schmaaroo’ place has some very cool character ones on sale when you buy two.

Games, Games, Games

Do you have tons of free time but nothing to play? Change that with a plethora of discounts on games across most online stores. The more games you have, the less time you will have to sit and hear about Aunty Barbs’ new beauty therapist or Uncle Bert’s new lawnmower which also catches the grass shavings in the little basket located beh… zzzzzzz. It isn’t rude to ignore them if you have zombies to kill. You are saving the world after all!
