Hi. Some peeps do not want to be part of facebook (for privacy reasons), and so to circumvent this we’ve decided to link applicable content from the facebook fan page to this blog for your enjoyment.
It’s important that the information for Lobotomy be preserved for everyone to enjoy, so we’ll start with some major links to Lobotomy Software games (this will be updated) together with the facebook page:
