Left 4 Dead 2 in Triple Monitor Glory

26 December 2009 / posted in Gaming, Multi-Monitor, Software, Tech, Youtube / No Comments

So I finally bothered to put my far left monitor to its horizontal position to give Left 4 Dead 2 a spin in triple screen mode.
I used the same settings I used in my previous experiment with the original Left 4 Dead.
I’ve noticed that the game does not keep the screen size settings when you close it so you must set the resolution and screen mode to “Fullscreen” each time.

This is either because the game isn’t writing the config or I did something wrong but it seems to work okay, I don’t guarantee that my settings will work 100% with your own setups so a bit of tweaking on your part might be necessary.
First HD youtube upload so enjoy!
I might still be still processing as of this post but should be all good in a few hours time.

Chrono-Review: Borderlands

20 December 2009 / posted in Chrono-Review, Gaming, Review, Software / No Comments

So recently clocking Borderlands what did I think of the game as whole?
Yes I know this is a rather late review in light of the game being released months ago I’ve just been lazy to actually write up the review.

Welcome to Pandora

I digress, Borderlands is not Gearbox’s first foray into the world of PC games with the release of Gears of War for PC being their debut title.
What does Borderlands promise us? Apparently it promises a compelling storyline, co-operative play and lots of guns all set on a far away planet called Pandora.

EVE Online: Drake Wallpaper

3 December 2009 / posted in Customisation, Eve Online / 3 Comments

So I made this small wallpaper as I’ve basicly fallen in love with the Caldari teir 2 battlecruiser the Drake.
Description taken from my Devart site since I’m feeling a bit lazy.

I’ve spent about four months playing the MMO EVE Online and for those past months I’ve fallen in love with the Caldari tier 2 battlecruiser the Drake.

So one day I decided to make a wallpaper something like a product advertisement for that particular ship.

I ended up having to vector the two logos used as the ones I found online were too small to be of any use.

Anyway I ended up with this wallpaper.

The model was posed in Garry’s Mod and the model itself is from the EVE Ships pack that can be freely downloaded.

Minor touching up was done in Photoshop and the vectoring in Illustrator.

I liked the minimalistic look as it has a cleaner feel to it than a cluttered messy background.
Hope you enjoy it you can download it here.
