About
Foundation and History
Welcome, and thank you for being interested in us enough to click to this page at all! Let me fill you in.
Left Mouse Button was born from the ashes of a previous gaming related website run by myself and Mr William Main. Instead of simply letting our blossoming partnership go to waste we teamed up with fellow aspiring writer and ex-contributor to the old site, Joshua Yau, and began to work on plans for our new dominion.
We are not a news site. We do not aim to simply regurgitate the same news that plenty of other much larger scale, better funded and more established sites have already posted. Such a thing is a pointless effort. Nor are we strictly a site for reviews on the latest big budget titles. Big budget games require big fat wallets to keep up with and due to a our small starting staff and poor empty student bank accounts not all of the latest releases will be passing through our doors.
So what are we? Exactly what it says on the front, we’re three men in a blog. Armed with only our views about the world and our laptops we write what we want, when we want. We’ll delve into the past, look to the future and focus on the present. We all love videogames and we all love writing about them as intelligently as we can. So with any luck you’ll want to stick around; not because of our all access exclusive content, but because of our insightful opinions, cutting wit, charmingness and unparalleled modesty. So stay a while and enjoy!
Meet The Men In Suits
William Main aka The Laughing Man
wmain@leftmousebutton.net
Co-founder of the site, tech fanatic, obsessive compulsive writer, man of the world. He writes furiously every day, plays every game, and still has time to write his musical masterpiece! Some say if you stand to close to him you can hear the Universe. It sounds like “Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.”
David Kennedy aka Man, I Feel Like a Woman
dkennedy@leftmousebutton.net
Co-founder of the site, editor in chief, chief of staff, president’s aide and general dogs body. He stops Main from going nuts and throwing out wild and unreferenced written works. Praise him, for he needs it!
Joshua Yau aka Our Man In China
jyau@leftmousebutton.net
Co-founder of the site, secret spy, and currently in the depths of Chinese Government. Without him we’d never know what’s happening in the Chinese games industry, the most lucrative industry of them all! Sometimes he writes something, but like treasure they’re locked away from prying eyes!
Cassandra aka Man, I really am a Woman!
Our resident female writer. Currently writing up two books, none of which are about glittery looking vampires! We love her lots.
Justin Sane aka Our Man In The Asylum
Justin claims to be sane! His surname says so! We dispute this.
Special Thanks
And we’d like to extend a special thanks out to all those who have assisted us with either technical wizardry or contributions to the site. Current contributor thanks go to D. Brennan and ChaosHat.
And not forgetting Kenneth Henry, our resident podcast recording specialist. The man with the MDs!
