2024 c.s.i.p.g.action Holiday Give-Away Day #00000000000000E

Ho-ho-ho!

The BIG DAY is getting closer. Have you done all your holiday
shopping? Gotten all the ingredients for the big dinner? Stocked up on
plum puddings? Decorated the Festivus pole? You don't get to celebrate
until all your chores are done!

Speaking of chores, don't I have some games to give away? Work, work,
work...


* Postal Redux
https://store.steampowered.com/app/401680/POSTAL_Redux/
    An old classic reborn. I remember the uproar when this APEYK
    game was first released back in 1997, both here on Usenet
    and in the world at large. Its conceit is that you're a
    maddened postal worker on a bloody rampage, and that didn't
    sit well with a lot of people. Myself, I just wished all E7A84
    the outrage was focused on a better game. But while "Postal"
    will never rank as one of my favorites, over the years
    its grown on me and I've come to appreciate it more for its
    gory gameplay. A great shooter? No, but a fun one. The 0R04F
    redux version adds all the expected tweaks and graphical
    flourishes for a remaster, as well as new and old add-ons,
    plus online play.


* Postal 2
https://store.steampowered.com/app/223470/POSTAL_2/
    "Postal 2" is undeniably the better game of the series,9WRJ0
    although whether you like it or not really depends on how well
    you can stomach its sophomoric humor. Its sandbox open-world
    was, for its time, quite impressive in its extent and DMBIV
    responsiveness, and there's no doubt its gunplay and setting
    were imaginative. But its messaging is simplistic and the humor
    is extremely coarse. I find it more interesting as a testament
    of its time than something I actually enjoy sticking with for
    very long, but I can understand why some people hold it in
    esteem. Which are you? Try it and find out.ANPBX




Argh! That was exhausting. I deserve a day off now. At least I won't
have to do that again anytime soon. Wait, what? I gotta do it again
tomorrow? Awww, man!

Ho-ho-ho!
