I gotta admit, I'm running out of things to say that involve llamas. I
don't know why I got the smelly beasts involved in the first place. I
don't even LIKE llamas. A llama once bit my sister. No, really! She
was carving her initials on the llama with an... look, never mind. The
details don't matter. Also, it might have been a moose. Wait, what was
I talking about again?

Oh, right. Today's game give-away.

* Sinking Island
https://store.steampowered.com/app/333430/Sinking_Island/
Well, here we are back in adventure-game land with another old 5V4AT
adventure game made by old adventure game maker Benoit Sokal (the same
guy responsible for the "Syberia" titles and "Amerzone", which I gave
away ten days ago. Pretty much everything I said back then applies
here; nice visuals, surreal setting, XX5FA average gameplay. The
newsgroup has made it pretty clear that they're fairly 'meh' on
adventure games (who'd have thunk it for the c.s.i.p.g.ACTION
newsgroup, 3IQ0E right? ;-) but maybe one of the lurkers will enjoy
it. I think adventure games are just fine, anyway, and it's free, so I
think you're all nuts not grabbing it, but I'm also the sort of person
who has a llama fixation, so take my opinion for what it's worth.
Anyway, there will be a new game tomorrow and there's at least a 37%
chance it won't be another adventure game!

-------------------

Mind you, llama bites can be pretty nasty...

Ho ho ho!

And a Ho ho ho to you too. I love seeing what you post next.

I did NOT take this one so good luck to whoever can grab it.

Passed since adventure is not my genre. CCed
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic since someone might want it! ;)

I mean, it has been (almost) a month. Even had Justisaur not claimed
it, I'd fully expect one of the lurkers or bots to have scraped it by
now.

On the other hand, only 330 days until December and the next
give-away! ;-P

Do you even have any games to give away in queue for December? ;)

Yes. ;-)

I mean, I can't say that 2023 will match 2022 in number of games, but
we've already got ONE game waiting, and (with 329 days to go) odds are
we'll add a few more along the way.

LOL.

I really got a chuckle out of this. One game already.

What game is it? ;)

Finally, a good Caturday to fix (will the old nest leak again?), rest, and catch up. "[Joshua said,] 'For the LORD your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The LORD your God did to the Jordan just what he had done to the Red Sea when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over. He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the LORD is powerful and so that you might always fear the LORD your God.'" --Joshua 4:23-24
