Free game. Epic. Thursday. Yadda yadda. I can't even pretend to
surprise you with the game, because it says right there in the subject
line. This introductory paragraph servers no purpose. ;-)

It's an ugly Indie shooter. I mean, I guess some people like
it; it has an "overwhelmingly positive" on its Steam reviews...
but I just don't see the appeal and am not inclined to find
out. If you like it, great, but this is just another awful
freebie Epic is giving away that I'll probably take anyway
because The Number demands it of me. But hell if I'm ever
going to play it.


Also, there's an equally awful expansion to a terrible free-to-play
D&D game on tap as well.

Seven days until we get something new. Will it be any better? Probably
not. But it'll be different.



(I'm feeling grumpy today, can you tell? ;-)

It occupied you and kept you out of trouble for the 5 seconds it took to write.

Turnip Boy wasn't bad for a original zelda type game I guess. not really
my cuppa and don't think I finished it. A different genre this time I
guess. I picked it up. I'll probably give it a try, stick with it,
probably not.

Also, there's an equally awful expansion to a terrible free-to-play

That I'm not touching.

Probably not indeed.

Not really as judged against your usual dissing of most games. :)
