Regularly queries /r/gamedeals every 6 hours and determines which of those postings are for free games. Sends the free deal info to SNS so that I may recieve an email with the links to those deals.
Stores the most recent deal name in an S3 bucket so that future runs do not grab deals which have already been parsed.
