Bejeweled 3 is the latest On the House game.  It's free until October 28.

 

https://www.origin.com/en-us/store/buy/bejeweled-3/mac-pc-download/base-game/standard-edition

It was OTH in June, so this is the first "repeat" for OTH.  (I grabbed BF3 the first time around - this should pull in the last of the stragglers.)

Also, Bejeweled 3 overlaps (I grabbed it Tuesday) at least through September.

 

And I DID count NFS Rivals as "warfare" - how many franchises use one form or another of the Frostbite engine?

NFS: The Run also used it, Garden Warfare, Battlefield of course, Dragon Age: Inquisition and the next Mass Effect.  I assume there are more that I haven't noticed yet.

 

I don't see why they'd change the name at all.  Your suggestion does not make any sense to me.

Could it be because all the games you've named (even NFS The Run) include some form of fighting?  Yes; I am specifically including NFS The Run's "vehicular combat modes", such as Battle Down The Mountain.  Strangely, despite the engine's name, not all of the games have snow (or even cold weather), despite Garden Warfare's Yeti.

Do we know at what time within each month they offer a new title? I am curious to see what they are going to offer next.

 

I haven't kept tabs, but I'm not sure there is any scheduling in place.

 

I haven't noticed any patterns to it anyway.

It's a cool game.  I picked it and No Regret up on a sale I believe on GoG a while back.  I'll take DRM free over tied to Origin anyday and they're only like $6 each even without the sale.

 

The developer is now working on Star Citizen if anyone is interested:

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
