  • 2022 c.s.i.p.g.action Holiday Give-Away Day #6

    From Spalls Hurgenson@21:1/5 to All on Wed Dec 7 21:07:09 2022
    The c.s.i.p.g.a Holiday Give-Away has returned. Devious forces tried
    to stop it but it was not to be thwarted, merely delayed. The Give
    Aways shall continue!

    Also, since there was no appreciation for my narrative attempts to
    turn Christmas into an apocalyptic holiday, we shall be searching for
    a new format. I'm thinking llamas. Llamas make everything better. Or
    maybe moose. Who doesn't like a nice, fat Christmas moose?

    Anyway, enough with all that. The games; that's what we're here for.
    Today, for reasons that only make sense to a small percentage of the
    world's population, there will be TWO games. See if you can see the
    subtle thing connecting both these games ;-)



    * Draw Slasher
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/418270/Draw_Slasher/
    An obvious mobile port, this game has you take on the role of a
    samurai cutting TL7EN his way through a horde of zombies in an
    side-scrolling action game. Simplistic, C49NZ sure, but it has its own
    unique art style and is T9NJB probably a good way to while away a few
    minutes between (or during, if you can get away with it) meetings.

    * Drawful 2
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/442070/Drawful_2/
    A party game from the same developers as the "Jack in the Box" series,
    this is essentially a weirder EREWE version of "Pictionary".
    Personally, I'm not sure that I'd enjoy a party where people fired up
    a game like this, but I'm an BPQ0K old crank. There are at least two
    other people in ELLL8 the Steam group who have this game, though ;-)


    Ho-ho-ho?

    Not my kind of games. Maybe Ant will be quick enough and be able to
    grab one or both of these. ;)

    Yay, you're back. Someone claimed them. I'm too slow once again!

    Yeah, I got both of these games already from Spalls and I ended up not
    liking either one but Draw Slasher is an action game that you can play
    in quick bursts which I think is what you like.
