So, ’twas the season not too long ago, and at the end of one of The 1st 10 Minutes’ earlier episodes, Steve made mention his intention to get festive and fill Tony and Aaron’s stockings with some of the less pricey offerings in the Steam Sale, especially if they were titles on their wishlist. Tony and Aaron thought it was such a great idea that they decided to get in on the merriment as well.
It had a harmless origin, but what began as a kind and generous gesture among friends soon became a far different beast. You see, a thought began to collectively grow in Steve, Tony and Aaron’s heads, a thought that any game gifted could at some point be rolled, and be played, and be talked about on The 1st 10 Minutes. And why stop at interesting titles on one’s wishlist when there was a veritable smorgasbord of titles all available for less than a dollar when the sleigh bells were ringing and the snow was glistening. Remember last Christmas when I gave you my heart? Well, this Christmas I’m giving you a warehouse and logistics simulator set in Hell.
It wasn’t all in the name of evil, though. They may have given each other some turkeys, but they’re turkeys they felt were worth talking about. And that’s the theme that runs through all of these titles. Good or bad, they were gifts that they felt could generate some interesting discussion in future episodes. Like it or not, that unicorn farm game is really popular, and it would be interesting to have a crack at analysing why that is.
So get familiar with the following lists, folks, because who knows? An unforeseen consequence could be just around the corner. See you soon, everyone.
