What does Epic have for us today? 'Cause it's Thursday, and on
Thursdays, we get a free game from Epic. So what is it? Let's find
out.

* Grime: Tinge of Terror
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/grime
Well, it's a new game for once, and not a repeat. Also not a
free-to-play game, so that's two points in Epic's favor. "Grime" is a
side-scrolling action/adventure game (think something along the lines
of "Out of This World"). It's got some pretty graphics but the
gameplay may not be satisfying; reviews indicate its a bit rough
around the edges and verges on Souls-like difficulty at times. Still,
I'll take it. What am I going to do, let a free game slip me by? I
think not!

Seven days to claim this one, as usual. Grab it, or not; your choice!

Bah, I blame NNTP propagation times. Ant's post wasn't there when I
pressed "Send". I was robbed, I tell ya; robbed! ;-)

Anyway, I am pretty sure that my post was the more interesting of the
two. I am not biased. :)

What's really funny is his is time stamped 10:34, and yours is 10:43,
which is aggravating my dyslexia something fierce.
