All the games in this thread are free for about a day.

I'll edit in a list of my favorite actually free games sometime.

Generally, about once every month or three, I'll go on an Itch spree and play a dozen or so recent Itch games.

There's a lot of slop, but some of the most creative ideas are coming out of the indie and homebrew scene.

And some people, like Daniel Linssen, consistently put out great little games.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

There are a couple of threads about games being free and most are free only for a limited time, so I decided to start one dedicated thread for free games to reduce the clutter of dead threads with onl

"Oddworld, Abe's Oddysee" is free for a limited time on gog and Steam. I am not sure how good or bad it is, have never played it. Still, if you are interested, just get it.

 

It's great. There is a remake with better graphics, gameplay and sound though, which is very true to the original: http://store.steampowered.com/app/314660/Oddworld_New_n_Tasty/

 

It's only a fiver ATM too.

It was never a good game, got slated n most reviews. That and uplay is even worse for spying on users that origin is...

I know it did not get very good reviews, but if it is good to waste a couple of hours without paying anything for it, it is fine with me. And regarding the spying by Uplay, I do not know where you got that opinion. I did a quick search and did not find anything that would support your statement. Of course, this does not mean that it might be true, but at least it is not as known for it as is Origin.

Wow thanks!

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."...

i wonder how you get money back on a free item.

Is that sarcasm, or?

I don't think Assassin's Creed is worth the hype. It's a glorified action thriller.

Black Flag was fun to play. More of a pirate game than an Assassin's Creed, but maybe that's for the best... Anyway, I liked it. But it has been milked pretty bad in the last years, so I have not played any games after black flag and I don't have the feeling that I am missing much.

 

By the way: Company of Heroes 2 is free on humblebundle for a limited time.

assassins creed's stealth is the hide in long grass, and pop up in front of guards who say they've seen something but don't come to have a look unless they can see a corpse, or you whistle at them.

although the back ground story is assassins against knights temple who are both after apples of eden that were left by a long dead advanced race of beings that may have created humans in the far distant past.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
