Fable was originally an Xbox game. They ported it to PC and added extra content.

Course, little did I know, when they ported it, they removed all gamepad support.

The game is shit to control with a mouse and keyboard… and they don’t even give you the option of using a gamepad.

I love their excuse for dumping [...]

(*Disclaimer*: I wrote this when I was really tired. Usually I write my best when I’m really tired, so all this writing is probably flawless. Self-doubt is the destroyer of brilliance. — Brad Root, yes you can quote me on that, because it’s brilliant and I don’t doubt it.)

I guess a lot of [...]

As with anyone who cared that much, I’m in the Chatsum beta, and I’m happy to say that it’s actually pretty good. I remember products like this in the past that were clumbsy, or just downright shitty… I can’t even recall the names of them, but they were bad, believe me. Chatsum, however, is nifty [...]

I got Electroplankton in the mail today, finally. For those not in the know, Electroplankton is a toy (not really a game) for the Nintendo DS. In it, you control and manipulate “plankton” that make musical sounds. This isn’t really something you can explain to people, it’s something that needs to be seen, if not [...]
