Let me give you my background on the EA Online Passes. A few years ago, I did a survey. Chosen because I am a gamer. Gaming studio was not revealed in the survey, but it was all about, would I pay additional for online features such as multiplayer and how much. I of course indicated that I would not. And, have not. I buy a game used or rent a game, I am aware I may not be able to play it online.

So, I was thrilled when I discovered that EA stated a few weeks back:

Why did we decide to do this?
We listened to the feedback from players, and decided to do away with Online Pass. We hope that eliminating Online Pass will allow more people to play and enjoy EA games for a long time to come.

Careful frugal gamers, pay attention to this:

Do I still need an Online Pass to play multiplayer games online?
For new EA titles, Online Pass will no longer be needed or included.  Additionally, we are in the process of eliminating Online Pass requirements from existing EA games.  This process will take several weeks.  For some games, the prompt to enter an Online Pass code will no longer appear; for others, you will still need to download and install an Online Pass, but they will be available free of charge from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace or PlayStation Store.

So, not every single game has been alieviated from the need of online passes. But, most have. Finally! Announcement of dissolution of the Online Passes was ages ago.

Sweet! So, pull out those dusty EA discs, and check for online passes.

Here is a very incomplete list of games that you can grab DLC/Online Passes for free. And sorry PSN people,  it's only free on Xbox Live so far. But, very soon will be free on PSN.

Alice: Madness Returns
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 VIP
Bulletstorm Online Pass
Dragon Age: Origins - The Stone Prisoner DLC
Dragon Age 2: The Black Emporium DLC
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Online Pass
Madden 13 Online Pass
Mass Effect 2 Cerberus Network
Medal of Honor Online Pass
Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed Online Pass
Skate 3 Skate Share Pack

Check out EA's policy in full about Online Passes. And, before you go crazy buying used or renting EA games, check to see if the server is still up!

And, for those of you into Dragon Age, here are some Bioware freebies. Be aware, you need to sign in and chose which console/PC and line it up! Go here to grab the fun freebies.

Only $14.99 on Amazon.

Now, if we could just get 505 Games, Activision, D3Publisher, Sony Computer Entertainment, THQ, Ubisoft and Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment to do the same thing....

Have you found any EA games that need to be added to the list? Let us know in the comments!

Here are five of my most essential gardening tips for new gardeners and expert gardeners alike.

1. Don't over do it. Meaning, better to have a few beautiful marigolds in a small area that are well-kept rather than planning for a full-blown formal English garden and finding it more work than you can do and then you abandon your garden.

2. Draw before you grow. Don't need anything fancy. Just pencil and paper. Really helps keep things in perspective.

3. Mulch is your friend. It helps keep soil temperature even, water in and can even help with pests. Don't think because it's a potted plant mulch won't help. It will help any planting. Check your local waste company. Many have free compost/mulch days.

4. Keep tools clean. Help stop the spread of parasites and microbes by taking a few minutes to clean your gardening tools when you are done with them. No one wants to contaminate their soil.

5. Know your zone. Seed packets are labeled with Zones. Once you know your zone, a whole world will open up on what is best to plant. Added bonus, zone appropriate plants will thrive under your care. USDA Zones are here.

I hope these tips will help you whether you are a master gardener or beginner. All these tips apply to container gardening and in the earth.

What is your best and/or favorite gardening tip? Let us know in the comments!

Wishing you all a happy and safe Memorial Day!

About
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is set aside in order that all US citizens (and visitors) could honor those that have died in service to the USA.

Memorial Day is a day in which graves of soldiers and others whom gave their lives in service to their country are cleaned up, flowers laid and, if appropriate, a folded flag placed.

All flags should be at half-mast today as well.

So, while we enjoy our BBQs and parades, there is something small everyone in the USA can do to honor this day: At 3p local time, pause for a moment of silence as per the National Moment of Remembrance calls for. After all, founder Carmella LaSpada said it best, “It’s a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memorial Day.”

Go here to see the sales, freebies and full discounts on PSN.

In addition, PSN has bunches of PS3 full games on sale up to 65% off (up to 75% off for PS+). I am going to issue a word of caution right now my frugal readers:

Sony has glossed over but disclosed that the next Playstation console will not be backward compatible. Did you read that correctly? Yes you did. What this means, just in case, is that all those games you have bought digitally will be....gone.

I theorize that this is a ploy to get gamers to re-purchase games. So, when you buy any game, digital or disc, be very careful with your hard-earned money.

Oh and don't think Microsoft is nicer about this. Xbox One is also not backward compatible. So, it is the same warning for any Xbox 360 games you buy.

What are your thoughts on the decision to not make their upcoming gaming consoles backward compatible? Let us know in the comments plus any deals you have snagged!

As you all can see, my short break was a little bit longer than expected. I do apologize for that.

Since my last update, Mr. Fred went from bad to worse. While in hospital, he could not stop having small heart attacks that were shooting blood clots into his blood stream causing more strokes. By Wednesday before last, the family was flying  in from all over the West Coast as Mr. Fred's final wishes regarding how he wished to live, and how he wished to go all needed to be shared and carried out.

It was a beautiful thing to be part of the process, from reading to him, keeping him comfortable, to the singing his family did around his beside.

Friday before last he came home to end his life in the comfort of his home, surrounded by family and loved ones. I will not lie and say it was easy or fun. But, I am honored to have been part of Mr. Fred's final choices in life.

Last Monday at 6:55am, Mr. Fred passed. And Wednesday, May 15, 2013, Mr. Fred was laid to rest.

His children, all grown, have lost their last parent. I saw, and still see, pain, remorse, acceptance and love still envelope each of Mr. Fred's children and grandchildren.

My loss is different. Mr. Fred was not my actual family. He was, instead, someone I could mother a bit. Someone I could talk to about theories on life, religion, current events....anything. And he never once acted as though I was silly or ignorant.

My days revolved around Mr. Fred. And now I'm a bit lost without him. But, mostly I'm grateful for having met him, taken care of him and that he is where he wanted to be: With his wife.

Picture of Mr. Fred's son Phil with Debra, Phil's wife taken at Mr. Fred's final resting place.

I'm taking until Thursday off of blogging due to Mr. Fred being hospitalized. We had to call 911 as per on-call doctor's orders.

As it turns out, he did not have Bell's Palsy as his doctor diagnosed. But, instead had a small stroke and small heart attack. And, just to top it all off, the poor dear has pneumonia. A terrible mix for anyone, much less a 74 year old diabetic.

So, five hours after calling 911, he was finally admitted to the hospital. Needless to say, I barely slept as I was so worried.

But, things are looking up and as soon as the hospital can find the blood clot, he will be out of the woods.

I have a bit more cleaning and resting to do. And, I have to finish coding a new layout for Frugally Fabuloso and write up a movie review. So, looks like Thursday this blog, and myself, will be back to normal.

Comments, prayers and positive energy welcome!

A group of "wild" turkeys loves to roam my neighborhood. See the two Tom's above? They control about twenty hens. And yes, every time I see them, my mouth waters.

I hope you all are having a great and silly Saturday!
