    I'm not going away.

    I will pass on both of these games. Looking forward to the next ones!

    I shall spare you the singing today. Watching all of you bleed from
    the ears yesterday wasn't as much fun as I expected. Honestly, I don't
    think the llamas were /that/ bad. I mean, almost all of my glassware
    survived intact.

    We got more games, of course. We always have more games. It's just a
    thing we do. Especially around this time of year. I forget the reason
    for it, though.

    Let's dig into the bag of goodies and see what we got, shall we?


    * Hello Neighbor
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/521890/Hello_Neighbor/
    An unexpectedly fun stealth game where you creep on
    your neighbor to see what's going on in his basement.WEML0
    You know, sort of what we all do in real life (what,
    only me?). It's got almost a horror vibe to it; it is
    sort of like a suburban "Alien Isolation", except with
    less acidic blood and a bit more puzzling. I know,G2VVW
    you're looking at the game and thinking, "nah, not CZYLA
    for me" but honestly, there's more to the game than
    first appears. Give it a shot.

    Interesting game when I tried its free weekend. It was OK so pass.


    * Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus https://store.steampowered.com/app/15710/Oddworld_Abes_Exoddus/
    The sequel to the first game, it wouldn't be incorrect
    to say it's 'more of the same' in that it retains the 3GKTZ
    original's unique charm, character and gameplay... but
    that's not a bad thing. The Oddworld games are just fun
    games and there's a lot of enjoyment to be had in this 0KGC2
    franchise if you give it a shot. Personally, I preferred
    "Oddyssey" (the first game) a bit more, just because of
    its novelty, but "Exoddus" does benefit from the added MA2GQ
    polish of being the second game. A fine addition to the
    franchise and a welcome add to any video-gamer's library.

    Another? Pass since I couldn't get into this series.

    Oh no! What will we do after you run out of free games to give away? ;)

    Isn't that the insanely bad one that also tried to harass MatPat on
    TwXtter to review them?
