Apparently it's not Thursday yet. I don't know why I thought it was.
I'm seeing if I can get it to be Thursday a day early, but I'm not
sure it will happen.
Welp, here we are again, gathered around the NNTP client, waiting for
our latest free goodies from Epic. Are we the more predictable, or is
it Epic? And does it matter if we get a free game?

It's an Indie retro-graphic'd arcade shooter. A
'bullet-hell', if you would. It's... fine. It's got a
unique mechanic in that you lose energy by shooting
(which seems odd for a game that's all about shooting)
but it does make the game somewhat different from its
contemporaries. It adds a little bit of depth and strategy
that other games of the genre lack. Otherwise... it's a
shooter. If you don't look at "Asteroids" with love, this
isn't going to be your thing. Even if you do reminisce
about those old classics, you'll still probably have to
stifle just a bit of a yawn at this game. It's okay,
but not really very exciting. It's not anywhere worth
its asking price of $15USD, but free? You might as well
grab it.
Well, that's this week's game. I'll pencil you in for another meet-up--
here in seven days, shall I? Until then!
I have no idea why my brain fixated on the idea that it was Thursday yesterday. For some reason I got through a good chunk of the day
thinking that, and only a few minutes AFTER I posted did I suddenly
realize it wasn't. I had to go back and re-do a lot of stuff that was mis-dated after that 😉

It's Thursday here on the west coast, still not free yet.

I really and truly believed it was Thursday when I saw your post. I
didn't question it at all at first. I just went to your link and
wondered why the game was not free.
It's always Thursday somewhere if you have a time machine.

Apologies to all the confused. The game's free now, though, and will
be for the next week. I sacrificed all of the Internet Points I earned yesterday in recompense, and hopefully will have learned my lesson to
check the date before posting in the future.

In books protagonists never learn because if they did there wouldn't be
a sequel. :)
So the secret to eternal life is not to learn from your mistakes? Good
to know! I'll get right on it! ;-)
