Who? Me? 
Anywaaay, I spent some time trying to put on a play in Witcher 3 and got a rather awkward wave from some rain-soaked prostitutes as I walked by.
I thought she was gonna do the Mr Spock hand thing and say "Live long and prosper."
And I have installed Firewatch....
Didn't play too much, just launched it to get the settings right first.

"Hau." Apparently.
I didn't even know that it was a real thing. I thought that was just an overused cliche from movie westerns that wasn't really true.
I've just had a quick play through the opening missions of Saints Row The Third, which is one of this week's Epic Freebies and... It was all a bit silly. Still vaguely entertaining in that flippant kind of way, but I think I'll only come back to it after I'm done with all the other similar-but-less-silly GTA-style games I have.

Any an all misspellings are henceforth blamed on the cats.
I didn't know it was a real thing either...
I saw Saints row mentioned elsewhere as well, so now you mentioned it, I went and got it. I guess it might be fun playing a "bad guy" for once? I assume that's what you do, seeing as the "saints" seem to be kind of mafia types.
But then I went and started installing another game I can't recall getting. Then it took too long and I probably won't like it, so I started installing something else - I forget what.
Edit, I see now that it's a Plague Tale. And after 40 minutes it's at 5%

Saints Row is like being in one of those over-the-top action movies with lots of jokey dialogue and spectacular effects that have no connection to reality.
In terms of gameplay it's one of those open world crime games where you're free to roam around while occasionally following the story. It was indeed fun but I do already have several games that do that kind of thing better like GTA, Watchdogs, Watchdogs 2, Sleeping Dogs, and some others that are not called something-Dogs.
Good luck with your pig balls.
Be warned that the first four chapters are painfully easy in a patronizing tutorial kind of way, but it does become a little more challenging after that. It is a very pretty game though. A Plague Tale and Hellblade are by far the best looking games I've played and they both use the visuals very well to create incredible atmosphere to their stories.
