Play flash games full screen with Swiffout
The estimated reading time for this post is 55 seconds
Some of the nicest flash games are best played when in full-screen. The problem is that many of these flash games simply doesn’t offer the option of playing fullscreen or, when it does, the game would lag a lot and look blocky. Playing a game in fullscreen is not only more immersive, the website, ads, the taskbar and everything other than the game are hidden.
This can usually be fixed using a free Chrome, Firefox and IE plugin, SwiffOut. Simply install the extension/plugin, and when you want to play any flash game with the whole screen, press the Swiffout buton.
How does it work? Magic?
Flash has this one problem: it’s really inefficient at handling large resolutions and will result in lag. That;s why you see few Flash games that comes with a full screen button.
SwiffOut changes your screen resolution to fit the game that suit it best, making the game fullscreen without any issues and lag related to maximizing Flash games, like slowing down the game, or glitches in unscalable games.

Ah, cool. I’m surprised you can just download a plugin to do this! Only problem is, makes things a little more NSFW..
