In the last thing I heard America was the land of the free, sure does not seem like it anymore with all this internet censorship crap going on in the world they want to introduce.

But my sport has always been Ice Hockey.

And my boyfriend was at work so.......... I was left to do something else LOL.

Many good Gamehouse Games can be bought in the Retail environment in Jewel Case form for $9.99 per title. There was a Super Collapse Anniversary edition where it had Collapse 4 and some other collapse games.

Encore Software often acts as a distributor for many casual games in the store.

Bill, I don't know if your familiar with Gamehouse's retail distribution platforms, but many of Gamehouse's Games I've bought in the store have been distributed by Encore.

And if wbeal, if GameHouse is going to be doing free game promotions, I'd like to be one of the first to know about it so I can get it and review it - I love my new blog and its fun to write about.

Essentially all games have debug codes cheat codes, but these codes are removed from the retail game. Very rarely will a developer leave their easter eggs in the game. These codes were designed for the developers use only to invoke certain features to test a game that ensures it operates correctly.

You were previously banned on another screen name for this behavior and it sounds like you wish to follow suit on your new name. Please, this behavior is not welcome on these forums.

That would be fun but I would not count on anything as Gamehouse is already offering free Wallpapers for PC users and a FREE Game for iPhone users which singled out computer users once more.

But I just played a trial that had a good sized campfire with lots of glowing coals left. They had you add a mass of thin firewood (fine), and then had you pour a stream of gas on it from a gas can!! I winced, and laughed just a little.... Not the first time I have run across things in games that are clearly OMG-- Do not try this at home!!!!

Does anyone else have any favorite examples of great ways to kill yourself that have showed up in games as required moves? The ones I've seen have mostly involved 'gas' used in incredibly stupid ways. There was one doozy involving electricity.... I can't remember which game on that. Another on 'breaking the glass', ditto.

And I haven't been playing these games very long...........

I think you are the only one who has thought of that as I never put that much effort into thinking such

GameHouse team is still working on finding the cause of this issue. We are sorry for the delay. In the mean time you can check this issue with alternate web browser like Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc., I hope this helps.

Thank you for your patience and support!

While I cannot pinpoint the *EXACT* cause of this, I can say that a recent Windows Update that Microsoft rolled out via Windows Update has caused strange page rendering of GameHouse.com through Internet Explorer. While they periodically release updates to ensure that every page displays correctly as it should in other browsers sometimes a glitch happens in that update. In any situation you do not see anything right, look at the URL bar of Internet Explorer and find a Broken Page icon. Click it, and the browser should render in a mode that is more compatible on your computer and the glitch should go away.

I highly doubt those outsourced call representitives at Microsoft came to the right conclusion as this is the case with any tech support center which is outsourced to many other countries.

Second of all if you got a stop error in a game while playing it , IT IS NOT A VIRUS. It usually means the game tried to perform a function incorrectly in which your graphics card did not handle the request and that is the normal behavior of Direct X.

On a widescreen display, there is a way to correct the aspect ratio of your display, but it letterboxes the screen as if it was on a CRT and presents itself in a perfectly square image.

GameHouse has a very old build of this game and does not have the very latest updated version which solves this issue. The issue is that when you move the mouse around the game seems to pause until you stop the mouse pointer. I downloaded a build from MumboJumbo to test and the problem was not there. Thankfully I sent an email to support@mumbojumbo.com and provided them with order verification from GameHouse and they helped me update to a more recent version which does not cause the issue.

Make sure you have the absolute latest service pack for Windows XP. Currently the latest version is SP3.

Also I researched your error and this usually indicates that you have a corrupt installation of a game. I suggest you follow the following troubleshooting steps and try again to play your games , it should help:

GameHouse accepts MasterCard and Visa Debit Cards, as long as you provide the 3 digit CID on the back of your card at checkout. Gamehouse will attempt to run your card for $1.00 to check that it's a valid card this is not an actual charge its just an authorization verification.

Glad to hear you're feeling better! It's rubbish being sick.
Hoping you're enjoying the new laptop, too.

You made me LOL when you posted:
"Now that payday is around the corner I will be well enough to go walk to the bank and then back again."

It seems that money puts a smile on everyone's face no matter who you are. But I am 100% better now with the small exception of a cough.

Thanks for the words of kindness really

I just finished antibiotics and whatever is in my system was cleared this morning so that would make it almost 2 weeks I was sick. The doctor put me on a secondary inhaler as a precaution to other symptoms that could relapse if I don';t take care of it right the first time. It sucked being sick really it did.

There is a very slim chance that you can still download RealArcade V1 from a unaffiliated source from the web install it, and visit http://account.real.com and download your games from there. Please let me know, and I can give you instructions on how to make V1 work on Windows Vista / 7.

I strongly reccomend against it, I suggest looking at your order history at http://account.real.com, take note of it, and forward it to the developer and they just might be able to help you out on their site and give you a code for a recent version of it. I know Mumbo Jumbo is wonderful for this and their customers

SilverSuki wrote: Just to update, that seems to have partially 'fixed' the issue, the games will now play, but I'm still getting the same error message. Now when I click to continue running the page anyway, the game does actually launch, although only after a very long delay where the launch window is a blank white screen. So I'm not sure what's going on there but there's clearly still some kind of issue. I get this on both my laptop and my pc, and my mother has recently started to get the same thing on her pc when she tries to launch games, so it isn't limited to settings on my computer/browser.

Even though you do not use Internet Explorer, Gamehouse renders their HTML and game asset artwork in Internet Explorer so if you have an older version of Internet Explorer on your machine, this may be causing an issue. On Vista and Windows 7, it might be a good idea to downgrade to IE8 until Microsoft can fix many compatibility bugs 9 presents.

Free games are offered under a one day , one time, one chance deal. If you download the game successfully to your computer, then you can play indefinently with advertising until you format your computer. In this case you would have to wait until the game is offered for free again or purchase the game.

Notice the heading under each game "UNLIMITED TRIAL TIME BROUGHT TO YOU BY OUR SPONSORS"

I admit, I don't really want to buy a computer unless its really necessary. A few weeks ago, I purchased a Geforce 6200 512mb AGP video card and threw it in this Dell tower and MAN it beats Intel 845G and Radeon 7000 VE. It dramatically sped up this computer beyond expectations and then some. I got my $10 Visa prepaid card in the mail yesterday for its rebate and it only cost me $29.99 after rebate. I heard this card is going to be discontinued soon so get it while you still can.

Unfortunately , there is one game site in particular, iWin Games where AVIRA refuses to remove iWin.com and its games/ installer from the Adware list. No matter if you have up to date definitions or not, they still flag their installer as AdWare.

I'm gay myself, and find that depending how you view the words, one can take offense. But may I ask why you were searching for these words? Are you some kind of video game censor or what not? It's not like you hear these words on regular TV programs on prime time TV, even your smutty soap operas now and then that appear mid day.

I'm going to download this to my Windows XP SP3 machine now. I will let you know the results.

Unfortunately, this is a copy protection issue present in the DVD version of a product called Syberia 1&2 DJC sold in stores. Some versions of this game used TAGES copy protection, while other versions may have used StarForce and or Securom copy protection. I'm not certain what triggers this, it seems the developer back then had protected this game so good that the original game did checks at random points of the game to verify the files were original and not messed with, and if you were found out to be a copy... well guess what happened

Do I need this? I have never purposely used it, but I'm wondering if it does anything in the background that I don't know about, or if it's just an extra piece of junk on my computer that I can uninstall. Do you know? Thanks.

The Best Buy PC app is bloatware in my opinion and does nothing then allow you to digitally purchase select software titles to your PC without having to go to the store for it. You can remove it from the control panel.
