So there I am, just randomly clicking around on the Internet, and what
should I happen to discover on the Epic Games Store? Why, they're
giving away a free game! Shocker! I just had to run to Usenet to tell
you all about it.

* Orcs Must Die 3
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/combo-a7e03a
Hey ho, another game. The Orcs Must Die games are fun,
for what they are, but its hard for me to get excited about
them; tower-defense games just aren't my cup of tea. Still,
this game is colorful and frenetic and its hard to resist
the urge to squish an orc, so I won't complain to loudly.
Maybe one day I'll have an urge to play this game, and by
grabbing it now I won't have to worry about buying it later.
Some call it hoarding; I call it pre-emptive savings!

Well, time to leave Epic and go back to randomly visiting websites.
Say, this one looks interesting. Except... oh my gosh, are those
people naked? And what are they doing? I, um, I'd better stay and
investigate this website some more. For science. I'll see you all
later.

As for the game, you've got the usual 24 hours to grab it. But you
already knew that, right?

Yeah, I forgot to mention that this is a repeat give-away. It was
first offered as a freebie back in May 2024.

This gift-horse has lousy teeth. ;-)
