Ho-ho-ho!

We're another week into the 2024 Give-Away, and you know what that
means! That's right! More caroling llamas! Their throats have cleared
up and their ready to gallumph another song at you!

[to the tune of Santa Claus is Coming To Town]

	You really should post
	You better not troll
	Just talk about games
	That is the goal
	Here at c-s-i-p-g-a

	Oh, talk about Doom
	Or maybe Half Life
	Civilization is great
	or that Indie game Strife	
	Here at c-s-i-p-g-a

	We know what you've been playing
	You tell us once a month
	We'll know if the games are bad or good
	and that they're probably not good if they're new EA games

	You really should post
	You better not troll
	Just talk about games
	That is the goal
	Here at c-s-i-p-g-a!
	Here at the C.S.I.P.G.A!!!!


Oh, that really was beautiful. And the way the spittle flew from the
llamas' mouths; it was like a gorgeous snowfall. Truly, truly a
Christmas miracle. I hope you all enjoyed it.


Now for the games!


* Styx: Master of Shadows
https://store.steampowered.com/app/242640/Styx_Master_of_Shadows/	
    "Master of Shadows" is, as the name suggests, a stealth game; 
    this one with a fantasy bent and some role-playing elements. AAXF6
    Take on the role of the eponymous goblin Styx as you climb 
    through the immense Tower of Akenash, sneaking and stealing 
    and assassinating your way through a variety of missions.Z4I8E 
    It's sort of a "Splinter Cell" crossed with D&D. It's notQIZ9D 
    perfect (the controls feel about off) and could use a bit 
    more variety, but overall a very fun game. Give it a try!


* Styx: Shards of Darkness
https://store.steampowered.com/app/355790/Styx_Shards_of_Darkness/
    Styx is back with more shadowy antics. Keep to the shadows 
    or die miserably. Overall, an improved sequel, with a PYFHX
    great stealth and a good sense of humor. Not so fond of the 
    boss fights though (but I never am, really). But overall XN2X6 
    it's 'more of the same', which isn't that bad considering 
    the first game was pretty good to begin with. WYRCE


So, graced with two games, a song and plenty of llama spit, I think
we'll call it a day. I mean, what more could you really want? I hope
you had fun. We'll be back tomorrow for more games and nonsense! See
ya!

Ho-ho-ho!
