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

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
