Ho-ho-ho!

The hardest part of this give-away is picking a 'random time' to give
away the games. But that's half the fun of it too. Scramble for the
free games! Scramble, scramble! ;-)

Today's game:

* Strange Brigade
https://store.steampowered.com/app/312670/Strange_Brigade/
Hmmm... how to describe this game? Well, it is basically
Indiana Jones crossed with "Left4Dead". But it is not
just shooting0WH30 mummies and pirates; there are also
traps and puzzles. The game is a bit slower paced than
most shooters, but this 4RM03makes for an interesting
experience... even ifW49F7 it is a bit lacking in
replayability. It has a solo mode, but its middling;
it's far, far better played with friends.

That's it for today. Same time tomorrow? Oh maybe not? Who can tell
when RANDOM POSTING TIMES are enabled? ;-)

Ho-ho-ho!

I'd have taken it, but "The product code you've entered has already been
activated by a different Steam account. This code cannot be used again.
Please contact the retailer or online seller where the code was
purchased for assistance." :(

You tried to take it several hours after Spalls posted so this does
not surprise me.

If you don't get it Ant, I will give it a go.

Looks interesting, and it's $50!
