Wasn't it the really dumb watchdogs thing?

Yes, Watch Dogs 2. In which Ubisoft’s site/Uplay couldn’t keep up with the traffic even before the start of the stream. It was such an obvious server explosion I think no one watched the entirety of that with their full attention just to get a free game.

Why would you? Isn’t the whole point of this thread to just be notified when free poo poo is available on a platter? :effort:

It's honestly a weirder and funnier pathetic post than the guy mad that you need to give Epic Games an email address.

It scratches a weird spot in my brain. I think Ubisoft or Rockstar had a giveaway or something where you were supposed to watch a stream, but then their servers crashed. Maybe that's what they're talking about.

1) it was a guy mad at giving humble your email I literally on the last page posted the quote

2) yeah it was Ubisoft for watch dogs 2 which hasn't been mentioned since it happened so I'm not sure why that guy thinks we're salty

Reminder that the Humble give-aways are not just a one-click affair. After you request the game, you need to actually redeem it to get the Steam key - the offer will expire after a while (maybe a month?).

I've wasted 2+ hours on dumber things than watching an ubisoft promo thingie for a free video game. Like 95% of my time on this forum as an example.

The free video games thread probably isn't the best place to look for people that are pinnacles of time management.

The Great Twist

It's an enjoyable game. I got about 8 hours out of a few playthroughs. It's just a series of bosses. Almost every one can be beaten in one hit (to the weak point), but with very specific timing. There's a surprisingly large amount of variation between them.

I'll just note, this is NOT a keyboard-friendly game. You really want a controller for this one.

It's a sci-fi souls-lite experience. It's really good on the exploration and level design front. I wish it got a few more patches but it was a solid-game when I bought it new. Definitely recommend if anyone likes souls games and weird poo poo. I mean it's free.

Hope this won't offend since it's not properly free, but Orcs Must Die 2 is free to play until 21st June and you can probably finish the single player in under 8 hours, if that's your thing. Not a bad game but was glad it wasn't longer than that.

the war mage is voiced by the guy who did gridman in the associated giant robot punchy show and the sorceress is voiced by riza hawkeye of fullmetal alchemist fame

and their performances are close enough that you can detect both characters when they're both in full taunt mode
