The current state of things

Well unfortunately I have found that when I got back home my main box has died or at least something has died and now I'm relegated to using my little Lenovo X100e (which I will post a review of as soon as I finish).
So far it looks like the RAM in my main box isn't the issue and the video cards are fine so it's now down to motherboard and CPU who are the main suspects.

Below is what my work space looks like now.

Left 4 Dead 2 in Triple Monitor Glory

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.

The K-7 Has Landed (At least for me it has)

I finally recieved my Pentax K-7 DSLR today after missing the original delivery yesterday by one hour and having to reschedule for delivery to be reattempted.
Well without further ado here's the Pentax K-7 in all its un-boxing glory.

Team Fortress 2 Crockery

So finally the Valve order came in early last week after a few weeks of waiting.

I had requested a Force-a-Nature tee and a Team Fortress 2 coffee mug to be ordered for me.
Although I haven't tried on the teeshirt, the coffee mug is simply awesome.Of all things the first thing I tried putting in it was beer, managing to fit 330ml of it with about probably 10~15ml to spare.
Anyways the mug is great  it feels solid, the handle has enough clearance so when you hold it you don't burn your hand on the mug, the rather thick walls of the mug does help to keep its contents warm for a decent amount of time.
It's also apparently big enough to perfectly dunk a Krispy Kreme donut into it.

So in conclusion; the Team Fortress 2 Coffee Mug besides being a rather good beer mug, performs its duty very well.
Keeping your cup of Joe warm for extended periods of time, allowing easy access for donuts, preventing burns on your knuckles and looking rather good on any geek or office worker's desk.

You can get yourself one aswell from the the Valve Store here.

Left 4 Dead Triple Monitors on SoftTH Windows 7 Build 7077

Having sucessfully run Team Fortress 2 fairly smoothly with SoftTH I decided to try the same thing with Left 4 Dead.

The results surprised me as it ran on high settings with 2xAA and 2xAF very well.
All the UI elements didn't look messed up and everything rendered very nicely it was as if the game was made for multi-monitor setups.

The only thing that was messed up by the huge resolution was the main menu's background.
Otherwise everything was sweet.
Here's a test run jumped into a random game, in this case the finale of No Mercy.

I used the same config as my Team Fortress 2 attempt, which can be grabbed from here.
