Is there anything returning or new coming up that anyone is interested in, in particular?
The Witcher.
Yeah I heard this was coming to Netflix. Now that I've done some research into it, the author of the novels is being a collaborator for the show so this gives me some hope it will be good.
Or maybe not interested in?
That new X-Men venture on Fox. Stephen Moyer can suck a bag of dicks.
Yeah it is on Fox. I do not trust them with sci-fi shows of any sort.
So the various networks and online services are announcing their 'fall lineups.' Is there anything returning or new coming up that anyone is interested in, in particular?
Or maybe not interested in?

GreenManGaming is giving away a random free game today for their birthday. Just put FREEGIFT in the voucher area at checkout.
It is no longer available and shows out of stock.
Oh! I did. I forgot that part lol. I just could not place the context at first.

I agree. And the expansions was pretty much that friend coming back to visit for a week before telling you that it will be the last time they can come back.
Chicks vomiting on you after sex FTW.
Wut?

I can say that CDPR knows how to do expansions. I get the feeling their idea of DLC is the freebies they gave away before Hearts of Stone dropped.
That is a pretty good description for Battle Brothers, actually. Although the combat maps are not as complex as X-Com, the combat is just as strategic in a lot of ways. I like the aesthetic the developer went with and the game is just a lot of fun.
For me it depends on the game.
On FPS games I mostly stick with normal because in a lot of them the AI has perfect targeting and does not share the same visual obstructions in some cases that the player does. For example, in Medal of Honor (I think, could have been another warfighter FPS like Battlefield or CoD) there was a building I was going through where there were curtains in the doorway, while I could not see through them, the AI did not have t - and would shoot me. A lot. In games like that on harder settings shots kill you faster so normal is about the good spot to not have to worry about those kinds of AI/Game Dev issues.
RPGs and most RTS I will go with a higher difficulty just for the challenge of it. For Witcher 3 I went with the hardest difficulty right out because I wanted the challenge and surprisingly, playing it on lesser difficulties now feels too easy. I did Divinity Original Sin and Pillars of Eternity on their hardest settings.
@Insomnia I have the GOG Galaxy thing up all the time and I never see updates and there is no connect page on there. Do you have to log in through the website on a browser for this?
Nevermind. I found it.
@Insomnia for some reason my GoG never wants to sync between my steam and gog
Hmm. Reading the details of the two articles you posted, I do not believe they are related. Not to say I do not feel a sense of moral outrage at either incident. They just do not seem related.
@Admiral
I can say that the game is one of the most unusual things I have played in quite awhile. The relationship system is awkward and hilarious at the same time.
And then beavers. The damn beavers. My very first colony I lost because first the beavers arrived to eat the trees...and then the next event made them manhunting. All my colonists eaten to death by beavers.
I've gotten lost in Rimworld. Usually I'm not big on colony sim games but this seems to eat the time and makes me rather invested in what happens to the colonists and the development of the colony. I recommend it if you like city/sim builder games like this.
This bundle looks fairly fantastic, but I've never got coupons from a bundle before. Do they stack? Does anyone know? I could not find answers to these questions.
