Some of you might know that last year (or even earlier) when The Walking Dead was released I created a plugin to fix the problematic Pillarbox effect of the game. The Walking Dead - Season 2 just got released today (BIG THANKS to scavvenjahh for the donation of the game) and I have decided not to keep everyone waiting (since I am a cool guy like that ^_^) and also fix the Pillarbox effect that is present here also.
I've been helping with this for the past several months, and I'm happy to announce that the update's live, as in, RIGHT NOW, for all existing owners of Postal 2 on Steam, they'll be rolling the update out to other digital distribution services in the near future, but the game's on sale for a meager $2.49 at the time of writing, so... why wait? Buy one for yourself, buy one for your wife and kids*(see note)!
The Dark Mod is a stealth-based game inspired by the Thief series; it was originally released as a Doom 3 total conversion and is now a standalone game.

Leaked details showed up today on Guru 3D regarding the Dell U3415W panel. And LG version was also recently leaked.
Details on the Dell model include an IPS panel and a 3440x1440 21:9 apsect ratio based off of 1440p vertical, rather than the 1080p baseline for the current 2560x1080 U2913WM. The inclusion of the U would indicate the panel is in the UltraSharp family, and the inclusion of the W would continue the nomenclature of the "ultra Wide" naming convention. The lack of the M in the name would mean a departure from LED backlighting.
The exclusion of the LED backlighting would be a step back for the 21:9 series, but the increase in size and pixel count is a definite step forward. Hopefully we will end up with a U2415WM. The 3440x1440 contains 4,953,600 pixels, which is close to 2.5x HD. This puts the panel at a better performance place than Eyefinity or Surround which are 3x HD, and considerably less than 4k UHD which is 4x HD.

Dell has released its first two 4k UHD panels. The UltraSharp UP2414Q is a 24" model sporting an anti-glare IPS LED panel with mini-DP, DP 1.2a and HDMI connections. The UltraSharp UP3214Q is a 32" panel with the same connections and an anti-glare IGZO LCD panel.
Both models sport USB 3.0 hubs. They can do 60Hz over the mini-DP or DP connections, and 30Hz over the HDMI. The UP2414Q retails for $1,399, and the UP3214Q retails for $3,499. Dell is also promising a 28" 4k UHD panel at "sub $1,000" pricing in early 2014. I'm wondering what features will be cut for to get this panel under $1000. I don't see them going non-IPS, as a TN panel at this resolution would be a waste. I'm guessing that it won't be part of the UltraSharp line.
The 24" seems a bit small for this many pixels, but the price is in line with the existing 30" panel. I'd love to get the 32", but right now that price is out of reach. Here's hoping the 28" panel has the right features.

Starbound is a 2D adventure game that give you a whole universe to explore and play in, the game has a lot of similarity with Terraria, partly thanks to some of the developers that worked on Terraria working on this game as well. Despite the fact it is only in the first day of very early beta it's multi-monitor support isn't bad at all, the only real issue is the fact the games options menu has a fixed list of resolutions, some of the HUD is on the edge of the screen but the rest of it is ether centred or re-positionable.
In order to get around the fixed resolution list to get Eyefinity or Surround running, you'll need to do the following:
1) Start the game for the first time.
2) Go to the options, select a valid single monitor resolution and select fullscreen, then apply and quit.
3) Navigate to the Starbound install directory, Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound
4) Open starbound.config in a text editor.
5) Find the line that has "fullscreenResolution" on it, and edit the values in the square brackets to read your multi-monitor resolution.
IE. My line reads: "fullscreenResolution" : [ 5040, 1050 ],
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.
