Heads-up, we have some scheduled downtime in the works. Blue's News will go offline sometime after 2:00 pm EDT tomorrow as the server is physically moved to a new location in the data center. Barring complications, this should be a brief outage, perhaps as short as 15 minutes. We will, however, return with a new IP address. This should sort itself out for everyone eventually, but eventually is the key word here. DNS IP propagation should be expected to take 24-48 hours to complete. The good news is it generally happens more quickly than that for most, but the bad news is it's possible it can take 72 hours or more. Apologies in advance for the disruption. Hopefully everything goes as smoothly as possible.

Prez you're awesome and get crazy mad puss!
You posted this hours ago, so it already might be gone. But if you still have it, please consider me. I have this game wishlisted, but am on a budget due to my new mortgage so any free game is greatly appreciated. I've actually made use of some of Epic's and Amazon's freebies over the past year.![]()

Hey I just bought Pacific Drive because my son loved it and the next day I get a key for it. The first person who tells me I'm awesome and that I get mad puss can have it.
Conversely, anyone who asks for it can have it. As always, Blue gets first dibs though.
