[Objective]
- Use a cheap refurb Xeon system à la $115 budget Xeon gaming build
- Update the build to somewhere around a $200-$300 budget including monitor and peripherals
- Create a games library from all of the various launchers using only free games
- Many game stores are offering free games for a limited time only, this log will not just cover games that are normally free to play.
- Log and detail games, performance, and experiences on a weekly basis
- This log will only cover games that I have actually downloaded and played. It will not cover every single free to play game.
