    Spalls Hurgenson <spallshurgenson@gmail.com> looked up from reading the entrails of the porn spammer to utter "The Augury is good, the signs
    say:

    "Free game"... are there any words more awesome than those two? Well,
    yeah... there are a lot (I'm particularly fond of 'good night's sleep' >myself). But 'free games' is still pretty neat. It's cool that I get
    to say it every week.

    "Epic Sex" is better than "Free Game", especially if the freebie is on epicgames.

    Speaking of which...

    Claimed. I doubt I will play since I wasn't a fan of this genre.

    It's a modern-day re-interpretation of Bullfrog's classic
    "Theme Hospital" game from 1997... and it's okay, I guess.
    It's humor sometimes feels a bit forced and juvenile, the
    gameplay can get a bit repetitive and the simulation feels
    a touch more arcade than it need be, but it's okay. I still
    think the original -- DOS-era warts and all-- is still the
    better game, but if you can't stomach the big blocky pixels
    in that one, this game is still fine.



    But alas, it's now going to be a whole seven days before I can speak
    those delightful words again. No, not the one about sleeping well (at
    least, I sure as hell hope not!); the ones about the games! But if we
    stay strong, we can weather the 168 hours until that time is here
    again.

    I've seen this played by some youtubers a while ago, definitely seems a
    bit like a lolrandom kinda game.
