I dunno, this change from monthly to weekly games-giveaways by Amazon
isn't working out for me. I just can't seem to remember to check in
with them. Well, fortunately, the offers don't expire until a month
after they're released so even if I skip a week or three, I can still
get the games.

Anyway, here's what's on tap so far:

Week 1: Elder Scrolls 3 GOTY (via GOG)
Week 2: DKO Divine Knockout (via EPIC)
Week 3: One Hand Clapping (Amazon)
Week 4: BATS Bloodsucker Anti-Terror Squad (Amazon)

So, nothing particularly exciting. Morrowind is always fun, of course,
but it's an oldie and been given away so often we all probably have
two or three copies lurking away in various libraries. DKO is an
online brawler; One Hand Clapping is a platformer that requires you to
sing into a microphone, and BATS is a metroidvania/shooter. All fine
games, but fairly niche and limited in scope by virtue of being Indie
developed.

It's hard to get excited enough to remember to log-on to the website
if this is all they're offering. But I'm paying for the service (God
how I wish I weren't ;-) so I might as well claim the games.

Eh, the only one I'd be interested in is Morrowind and I already have it
from GOG.

I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
dirty old man.

Now added, all on Amazon.

Space Crew Legendary Edition
Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator
Tunche

The first two could be ok, and they get positive reviews on Steam, so
I've claimed them. The last one, just not my type of thing.

I'd been disappointed so far this month but those two kinda make up for it.
