    <sigh> It's "Day 22 Part 3", not "Day 21 Part 3".

    Maths (and dates) are hard.

    Well, regardless, there's still a free game. But I really gotta
    double-check the subject-line of my posts before I hit send...

    "Sunset" is an offbeat, colorful, open-world FPS. Lots of weird
    I2CJ5weapons in a weird setting shooting weird monsters. It's not a
    deep gameCFQ8H, but it's fast, technicolor action. Mechanically I
    liked it, but as far as setting and atmosphere I found it just a bit
    too wacky for my taste. 7LF7C Still, if you liked "Bulletstorm" and
    that sort, "Sunset" will probably be just your thing. Give it a try.

    I know there are people here who like this genre far more then I do. I
    will pass on this.

    I don't work for Valve. You can tell because - unlike those boys in
    Bellvue - /I/ can count to three. Yup, we get three games today (huh,
    three games from Epic too. Must be a Thursday thing). Incidentally,
    beavants can count to three as well. Just so you know (and 'cause I
    gotta get a mention of beavants in here somewhere).

    The game!

    I think the beavants were happy with the gift I left them. They took
    it all downstairs into the basement and now I hear lots of sawing and hammering. I think they're building something. Hey, maybe it's a
    Christmas present for me; wouldn't that be sweet?

    Hoy hoy hoy!

    Nah, they're building a bigger boat so when you move on to sharks they
    have a chance.
