Just a quick note about how I (finally) got my mouse 4 and mouse 5 buttons to work the way I wanted in Thief: Deadly Shadows. I also managed to get the left/right rocker action of the scroll wheel to page back and forth through my items while the scroll wheel itself scrolls through weapons. […]

A couple nights ago, I decided to reinstall Thief 3: Deadly Shadows and give it another spin. The only catch: I’m running Windows Vista, and old games can be very iffy on this OS. My problem was that after installing, any time I tried to run the game, I got the following error: (Microsoft Visual […]

I’m replaying Beyond Good & Evil for the (don’t laugh at me) fifth time with Brainy Gamer‘s Vintage Game Club. It’s true – I’ve played the game four times before, and purchased four copies of the game over the years. But about a year ago, when I made a list of my favorite 51 games […]

Look at the Combine Airship! From what I’ve heard, the Purchase brothers made this film on a $500 budget, which […]

Yeah, it’s a blatant Zelda knockoff, but it’s a neat little game, designed by some guy at home. Instead of pixels, he used love. The game rearranged the icons on my Vista machine’s desktop, but I expect that’s because I’ve got a dual-monitor setup. Maybe it’s just because today is Friday the 13th. Who knows? […]

We here in Lungfishopolis were very impressed by the DesktopGaming’s retro gaming wallpapers, and have been inspired. So today, I bring you the first of what we hope will be many retro gaming wallpapers, constructed locally right here in Lungfishopolis.

Microsoft did a hell of a thing when somebody there thought up achievements. Although born on the 360, they’ve come to be fairly ubiquitous amongst games today. Not being an XBox 360 owner, my first real experience with achievements was in Team Fortress 2, which I tried briefly during its beta testing. Soon after that, […]

Seeing how Greg so eloquently laid out what he’s playing right now, I figured that I’d do the same, even though the pickings are slim indeed. 1.) Rock Band 2 – I am always playing Rock Band 2, even when I’m not physically playing it. If I’m in the car, I’m either singing songs that […]

Closure is a cute little puzzle platformer wherein light is key. You’ll quickly learn that if something is in the dark, it essentially doesn’t exist. In that way, it’s similar to PSN’s Echochrome, which I very much loved. Play Closure
