Den of Geek is hosting this giveaway in partnership with When I talked to Cory Doctorow during TorCon back in June, the author spoke about speculative fiction as “a sort of diagnostic tool,” comparing storytelling to the scientific process a doctor goes through when using a nasal swab to diagnose an illness. “When you want to solve something, you often simplify it,” said Doctorow, “like when the doctor sticks a swab up your nose, sticks it into a petri dish, and looks at it later....

Avalanche is the anti-Shinra group in Final Fantasy VII trying to save the planet from the corporations’ evil operations. Since the original 1997 classic spin-offs have fleshed-out the organization. Even Final Fantasy VII Remake adds numerous tidbits, whether it be their place in the bigger picture or stories about the individual members.

Cyberpunk 2077 has arrived at long last, and the game’s lengthy prologue concludes with an explosive finish as Johnny Silverhand sets off a nuke in Arasaka’s corporate headquarters.

However, once players have managed to complete the Week 4 challenges (and all previous weeks as well), they will have the opportunity to collect a special hidden banner.
