    Heh. I posted this without checking the newsgroup first and now that I
    have, I'm happy to see that I actually _did_ beat ant to it. Those
    Internet points are mine! ;-)


    LOL. I was going to post, but said meh since I was too busy to do usenet. ;P


    Look, I'm not going to complain. I have plans for those Internet
    Points. Big plans. Important plans. You can't imagine the terrific
    things I'm going to do with those Points. It'll be great; just wait!
    ;-)

    I did totally forget about posting until the last moment though; that
    wasn't something I just did for humorous effect. I wonder if that says something about how unimpressed I've become with Epic's offerings
    these days that even the lure of a new free game isn't a memorable
    event anymore. Bring back the excitement, Epic!

    Of course, the idea of being 'too busy for usenet' strikes me as
    foreign and weird. Hopefully your busy-ness was because of fun and not business. What do ants do for fun in the hive anyway? Lick aphids?
    Maybe I should give it a try. ;-)

    I was too busy for usenet too. I just got a moment to check, glad I did
    as this game was on my wishlist and one I'd come very close to buying
    several times. I didn't remember to check Epic either.

    Thanks, Spalls.

    Unfortunately most of the negatives on Steam reports it's glitchy, buggy
    and had bad controls. I've never let any of that stop me before though,
    some of my favorite games resemble that.
