    "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" ???John 14:6. Boo 2 my cut dry lips from again, dropped iPhone's finger holder, window blind's string broke, biological vir(uses/i) spreading again,
    etc. Somewhat slammy Thursday after sleeping 7 hrs.

    Generally, no. I was aware of it, but in my experience, the freebies
    on offer are usually:

    1) already announced loudly elsewhere
    2) free-to-play games ("World of Warships") or games that are
    essentially little more than front-ends for DLC ("Capcom Arcade
    Stadium")
    3) only free for limited trial-periods ('free weekend')

    YMMV.

    Where? I noticed Blue's News doesn't always see them so I e-mail Blue
    about them.

    It's like playable demos except full games with limited times. There
    were a few games that I finished like SuperHot (great game). ;)

    I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
    dirty old man.
