    Aaaaaaaaaaah! It's Thursday! Why did nobody tell me it's Thursday! And
    now Ant --Ant, of all people!!!!-- beat me to my Thursday
    Free-Games-On-Epic announcement. Ant took my Internet Points! My
    reputation is ruined! Woe, woe, woe is me; life truly has no point
    now!


    [A drama queen, me? No, I just don't see it! :-)]


    Mind you, Ant /did/ miss a free game, so maybe I can redeem myself.
    (also, the Teacup games are only free for IOS/Android users. The PC
    version still costs $10USD. I suspect he checked on the mobile app
    only, which gives me this opportunity to one-up him ;-)

    I'll give this much to the game: it tells you right away
    what it is all about in it's title: It's a cross between an
    RPG and a puzzle game. It's one of those games that actually
    looks quite good... but still doesn't appeal to me. But FOMO
    makes me take it anyway; some day somebody might convince me
    this is a great game that I just gotta play, and then I'll
    be happy I don't have to pay for it.



    Hmmm... I'd say 'see you in seven days for the next round of free
    games on Epic' but seeing as how I forgot this week, I'm not so
    confident any such assurance would be accurate.


    Anyway, back to drama-queening.
    Woe, woe, woe, woe, woe....
