Epic Games Daily Free Games

[pseudopop]

This year Epic Games is giving out free games again. You have only 24 hours to claim each one, but as far as I know they are not limited in number.

The first one is Bloons TD 6 and it was revealed yesterday (sorry I'm late) and so is available only until 4 PM GMT today, or little over 3 hours.

The next one is suspected to be Horizon Chase Turbo, but we will soon see.

 Racing games with a keyboard is the reason I never bother with them.

Well according to the Steam description it has "full controller support". Can't imagine the Epic version would be different? I haven't installed it yet, so don't know for sure...

I've got my XBOX 360 USB (Games for Windows) controller at the ready just in case!

In the PC gaming world using a controller on a game is not macho.  Racing games and sports games are boring on PC anyway.

I'm not a macho PC gamer. ?

But I do enjoy playing games on the PC with a Nvidia GPU in my living room, while sitting about 8 feet away from my flat screen TV that is connected via HDMI.

A wireless keyboard/mouse is fine on the coffee table for setting things up and launching a game, but it's more relaxing to kick back on the sofa with a game controller, a la game console style.  ?

For keyboard/mouse gaming I selectively might allow a game or two to run on my DAW PC at my desktop workstation. But the controller works there as well, and sometimes I am just lazy... ?

Me neither.  I'm too lazy to look for a controller.   I start to treat free games like plugins.  I don't bother with many of them.    I don't buy new games anymore because of the requirements  like disk space.  I'm playing some of the games that came out during the XP/W7 era.   I might even install those old Command and Conquer games.

Am I weird? I remember playing Need for Speed on a PC using a keyboard, a lot... and I LOVED IT. ?

No, you're not. @kitekrazy is just trying to talk himself out of hoarding more stuff, like he has been doing in every plugin and VI thread lately.

Am I weird if seeing the photographer in product photos somehow breaks the immersion for me? Like somehow this:

Depends on who you ask. Some say the only way to play a racing game is using a racing wheel controller.

@abacab Do you own this model? It's cheap. I was thinking of buying it for my son (with my tendonitis, I can't play video games, Words with Friends -- yep, a nerd game -- is about the best I can; but I do appreciate everyone posting these deals, as I pick them up for my son, who is a gamer with Windows 10 and XBox).

I bought a model fitting this exact description in official Microsoft packaging from Best Buy about 10 years ago for a bit more. It still works, it's corded not wireless and plugs into a Windows PC via USB. Batteries not required! I believe these are out of production at Microsoft.

This white unit from Amazon appears to be exactly the same as mine, but  quite certain that it's a knockoff. Manufactured by Etpark. The price looks good though and has 4.2 out of 5 stars rating on the Amazon reviews!
