Okay guys, I think the beavants may be getting a bit too much into the holiday season. Not to worry anyone, but they've invited me to join in
their Christmas games, and now I'm sort of locked down here with them

wood I gave them, and I think the fumes from the scented candles are
making me see things. Plus, their incessant Christmas chanting is
giving me a real headache. I hope the storm breaks - it's really
raging out there - before things go to far.

But not to worry, I still have gifts!

Max Payne's third outing may not be my favorite - it's hard to root
for an overweight addict - but there's still a substantial game in
this title. Gone 7QTK are the dirty streets of New York, replaced with
the much more colorful - but still grimy - favelas of San Paolo.
Otherwise 4YBEthe game is still pretty much the same as its
predecessors, filled with 4LD4 noir overtones, asshole criminal
antagonists, slow-motion AAHZ jumping and /lots/ of bullets. C'mon,
does Max Payne really need an introduction? Just get the game already!

I thought I might have a chance to get it as no one else has posted.
Fired it up, let it update. I just get a "Code Not Valid." I'll assume that means another one for lurkers/bots.

Look, I'm sure everything is gonna be cool. My neighbor Tim, chained
up next to me, is probably just passed out from too much eggnog, and
that stuff on the beavants' little knives (aww, how cute) is probably strawberry jam. Everyone knows beavants like strawberry jam, right?
But I'm not sure what their chant of "tThrodog gn'th'bthnkor ehye ahor
nog yeeogngn yarr l' fahf shuggog mgep radroom c' mggoka nilgh'ri"* is
all about. Is that some new carol I've not heard of yet?

Merry Christmas, everyone?

Max Payne does not interest me but I am sure there are those here who
would enjoy this. Pass for me.

It wasn't me. You beat me by two minutes. And I passed on it anyway.
You tried through the rockstar app and not Steam, right?

Yes, I haven't opened that in some time, thus the update. Although
it seems like Steam is updating multiple times a day the last few
months.

It didn't work for me too. Darn it! :(

It's eve of Merry Christmas & Jesus' birthday! Happy Holidays / Season's Greetings! "[The shepherds] hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and
the baby [Jesus], who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him,
they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this
child, and all who heard it were amazed... But Mary treasured up all
these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen,
which were just as they had been told." —Luke 2:16-20. :) Another known
human death again. That's 5 in total for this yr. & 2 many (7? total)
for this decade so far. :~(
