Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages, is a top down space shooter with some RPG elements, most notably it has 300 equipable skills that can be slotted into 64 different ships that fit 5 different archetypes or classes, these include Rouge stealth ships and Grappler melee ships. The game itself is horizontal plus natively and has a centred HUD and UI (at 16:9 aspect ratio, but the HUD can be scaled down in the options). The multi-monitor support would be perfect if the game wasn't running XNA, which has a back buffer limited to 4096, this mean that when the game was released it used to crash to desktop if a resolution over 4096 was selected, however indie developers have proved there worth over AAA developers again by fixing the game as best they could within the limitations of XNA, so the game now happy runs beyond a 4K resolution.
The video itself is part analysis, part walkthough and part waffle, feel free to like or dislike my video and comment are always welcome too.
While this video can be watched on any screen it has been encoded to look best on a multi-monitor system, so if your running such a system, then select original quality from the drop down box and watch in fullscreen.

So I have not been able to sit down and record in a while, been waiting to get this done for a long time so glad I finally got it done. Shame some of the quality is not up to my personal standards but the content is there and in a review that is what counts the most so I hope you enjoy the review.
I feel this product may be very useful for a lot of my fellow gamers.
Elsword is an free to play 2.5D brawler, it has an anime art style. It's multi-monitor support is not great, while the game renders it's 3D horizontal plus, all 2D is horribly stretched to fit the screen, this includes all menus and HUD elements. At time of writing I know of no fix for this, I brought this up with the developers and was told the game was designed to be played on a single monitor not 3. When I pointed out this issue would effect people with single monitor, basically anyone not using a 16:9 aspect ratio, and pointed out that designing the game so that the UI is only ever correctly scaled on a single aspect ratio is bad design for the PC platform they deleted the thread. Otherwise details of the game itself and my opinions on it can be found in my video.

Hey all, I'm one of the insiders that you don't hear about ever. Decided to do a Youtube video without any editing. After borrowing the Oculus Rift from SkipClarke and combining it with my Razer Hydra, I decided to nab Surgeon Simulator on Steam for 10 dollars. In the short amount of time I've played this, it has been well worth it.
I know this is "old news" to some people, but I bet some people will greatly appreciate this. If you are a true RPG fan, like I am, you will no doubt be very gladly about it as this game is ageless.
I remember playing the game a couple of years ago, when it lunched so much and enjoying every second of it. At the time I was having only one monitor so everything looked right. Recently after finishing Dragon Age 2 for the 6th time, I wanted to revisit the place where "it all begun". So Dragon Age Origins found it's way back on my Hard Drive yet again. Sadly the Eyefinity/Surround support Bioware gave to the game is "nice" but in the end broken and unusable. Therefore, I thought about creating a fix for the game in order to be able to play it again in all its glory in 3D Surround, which means the default UI simply would not cut it.
I decided to create this video to take a more balanced look at how much of an advantages a multi-monitor system gives in strategy games like StarCraft 2 and MOBAs like DotA or League of Legends, and whether or not it's reasonable to call it an unfair advantage. The game in the background is StarCraft 2, original resolution was 5040x1050 aspect ratio of (48:10). The video shows a replay that was original played on a single monitor, only the replay is being shown on a multi-monitor resolution.

Note: You Tube has been relabelling the quality settings of my videos, if "Original" and 720p are missing, then 1080p is actually the 4K video, and 480p is the 1080p video. If You Tube doesn't correctly swap the quality when you select it, then please try this link, then set the player to the highest quality available: http://www.skid-inc.net/youtube.php?v=b_YDkDRpmRY
Hi and welcome to the second part of the blog of my personal DIY curved screen. In the previous blog post I showed you drawings and told you how to do it, in this post I'm going to show you how my screen looks when it's finished and correct the first post a bit.

Hey everybody ViciousXUSMC stopping in again to get some videos out there for you to watch.
With my day off work I finally got around to reviewing a piece of computer software that many of you may find of some interest.
Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate - This is probably the best single use paid conversion software I have laid hands on, its packed with features and its easy to use.
The full details can be found in the video but if there is anything I missed that you need to know be sure to ask so I can help you out.
Being that this is a 1:1 screen capture I would recommend watching in 1080P fullscreen.
This blog post is dedicated to my personal DIY curved screen. I made this screen to show the capabilities of Warpalizer together with a curved screen, for showing media on YouTube, showing customers and to learn more about this subject myself, as I'm pretty new to this. I will try my best to make a DIY post to show you that a curved screen does not have to be expensive. With small changes on this "design" you can make a screen in a corner. Please read on and do not hesitate to ask any questions.
I've decided to build an HTPC based on the AMD Trinity APU, and I need your help in picking out the last few parts (case, PSU, RAM and Blu-Ray).
At a recent checkup, the pediatrician asked me what gaming console I would recommend. After going through the pros and cons of each current console, I settled on the Xbox 360 as my recommendation. Then after a moment, it dawned on me that an HTPC would be a better option for his (and my kids) to game on.
I figure that a small form factor PC based on an APU, with an Xbox controller, and Steam in Big Picture Mode will fit the bill perfectly. So, I've decided to test the theory by doing an HTPC build centered on the AMD A10-6800K. This will also give me a good testbed for future single screen benchmarking.
