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:

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
