@ohko and all sponsors: thank you, yet again, for brightening up this wonderful community with a fun giveaway. I’m sure I speak for everyone here when I say it’s a delight to see another one of your giveaways is up. 
I’m not entering, but I’d like to share two things, if you all don’t mind.
I really like a poem Edgar Allan Poe wrote for his mother. I’m not sure if everyone here is familiar with the man or his history, but very long and sad story short: he did not have an easy childhood. His mother died young, at the age of 24 four, when Poe himself was very young still and the family had already been forsaken by his father. Upon losing his mother, at a mere 2 years of age, the Allans took him under their wing – hence his middle name.
He was raised without what many of us would consider a “proper” mother and father, and in that whirlwind of emotions and abandon, a genius of questionable sanity was born. His bittersweet poem to his mother is something I always reread on mother’s day:
To My Mother
BY EDGAR ALLAN POEBecause I feel that, in the Heavens above,
The angels, whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of “Mother,”
Therefore by that dear name I long have called you—
You who are more than mother unto me,
And fill my heart of hearts, where Death installed you
In setting my Virginia’s spirit free.
My mother—my own mother, who died early,
Was but the mother of myself; but you
Are mother to the one I loved so dearly,
And thus are dearer than the mother I knew
By that infinity with which my wife
Was dearer to my soul than its soul-life.
About the games being given away, I strongly recommend Kentucky Route Zero. I’ve said a few words about it here and there, and hopefully they will sway all those who are unsure about taking a chance at getting it for free.
To keep in the theme of mothers, however, I’ll share one tiny fact about my own mother that I thought of while playing the game. My mother’s an actress – as was Poe’s mom, for that matter – and, to those who are unfamiliar with KR0, the game has the habit of making real-life interventions to tie in with its in-game content. So a while back the creators auctioned a telephone that appears in the game and so and so on.
What does that have to do with my mom? Well, one of their little interventions is a play. The mad men actually went through the effort of making it available for purchase on print! Crazy, huh? Too bad my mom doesn’t speak English…
Anyways, to however wins KR0: if you play it, please hit me up so we can chat about the episodes. It’s always awesome to read/hear the impressions of a first-time player, and KR0 provides no shortage of wondering.
Good luck, everyone!
