No single player DLC for Tomb Raider. Which is a bit . . . baffling to say the least.

"There are currently no plans in place for any Single Player expansions," said Stewart in a Reddit AMA. "All of our DLC is based around the Multiplayer experience for now."

Still, the latest patches have drastically improved performance on my nVidia card so I can play on ultimate quality setting without frame rate drops.

GoG now has Strike Commander, from the team of the original Wing Commander.

http://www.gog.com/gamecard/strike_commander

What's cool about it:
Strike Commander includes the original game, Strike Commander: Tactical Operations, and the expanded Speech Pack.
Features Gauntlet mode: wave after wave of enemies.See how long you can survive!
A powerful and gripping story set in an alternative future that didn't turn out quite as expected.

Overview:
Twenty-two years after the fall of the Soviet Union, the world has become embroiled in a series of conflicts centered around an ever-dwindling resource: oil. Mankind's hopes for world peace lie battered and broken. Take command of Stern's Wildcats, an elite squadron of mercs trying to fly straight in a world of deceit and violence. Engage rival merc squadrons, third world dictators, and the armies of the dreaded IRS. In a world gone mad, there's plenty of room to fly, all that's required is the cash.

Strike Commander puts you in the best place to witness fast-paced dogfighting action: the pilot's seat. Fly high as you take on over 60 missions, each more challenging than the last in your top-of the-line F16 squadron piloted by the best crew in the business (operational success rate of 86%). Strike Commander is a classic flight combat sim where a pilot is only as good as his, or her, last flight. Fly to survive and survive to fly, in this modern-day action-oriented jet fighter combat simulation!

22 years after the fall of the USSR? That's TODAY!

I thought I remember Strike Commander being an enormous turkey.

Holy shit.  Favorite game of my childhood.  Blast from the past, that.

[Berkut]

Strike Commander was a blast.

Unfortunately, the game itself looks crap.-

Telltale says they're making Poker Night 2, featuring Claptrap from Borderlands, Brock Samson from The Venture Bros., Sam from Sam & Max, Ash from Evil Dead, and GlaDOS as dealer.

Nifty.  Of course, I'm already stoked for the new Venture brothers season this spring.

Hey Syt, just got email this morning about pre-ordering OOTP 14.
Have you heard what they are improving/changing from 13?

I skipped 13 but pre-ordered 14.
Feature list is here: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/newsletters/nl0109/

I have enjoyed 13 and with today's release of 14 think i'm gonna buy it.

A neat feature is that you can plop all historical uniforms/logos into the data folders now, and the game will pick the right ones, depending on the year (files will require year range at the end; there's already files pre-configured in the mods sections of the forums).
