And, as all good things must, we come to an end. The end of Epic's
holiday give-away, that is. Was it a good thing? Well, there were a
lot of free games. Although maybe even calling it 'a lot' is being
overly generous. Let's just say: there were some free games. But
that's it for now. Epic's going back to their weekly schedule after
this. Can't say I'm disappointed. It's exhausting making all these
announcements!

    On the one hand, it's a realistic WW2 first-person shooter, 
    the sort we haven't really seen in a while (honestly, the last 
    one I remember was "Day of Defeat", anybody else play that?). 
    Sure, it's an old trope, but it's been a bit since a game like 
    that has come around, so I wouldn't mind playing it again, with 
    modern bells-n-whistles. But on the other hand, it's online PVP 
    only, and with quite a toxic community, so I'm in no rush to 
    give it a try. What to do, what to do? Maybe... add the game to 
    the library and just not play it? It's the best of both worlds, 
    I tell ya!


Is that a way to end a marathon give-away or not? No, really; I'm
asking you. Is that how it should have ended, you think? Anyway, take
your time on this one; you have a full week to claim it, if you want.
