Howto: Left 4 Dead Split Screen with Eyefinity

Welcome to my first blog entry.

I'm aiming to put together a complete howto for a way to play games in split screen on pc. This play mode is usualy missing in PC games however its present im most of console games.. And I don't understand why? PC's are superior to consoles in terms of amount of controllers you can use (Xbox's PS3 or even Wii controllers can be used with PC) and posibility of using multiple displays is just shouting for SS on PC.

So! The first game I put on the table is: Left 4 Dead. Its propably the game which is forced to run in Split-Screen (SS) most often. I know that there are many guides already but I'd like to go a little bit further and put together a way to SS, how to config your controller and also how to run SS in multi monitor setup.

So here we go:

I. How to run the game in SS
II. Usefull console commands
III. Running multiplayer split-screen game. (2PCs, 4Players)
IV. Controller configuration
V. Multi monitor setup
VI. Results and summary

Custom USB Drive - Hot Wheels Ken Block Fiesta

Hey all, I recently purchased something that some of you may like, so thought I'd share it with you.

I'd recently discovered that I had used or 'donated' most of my USB drives to people for a variety of tasks, so I went looking for a new one. I found this guy on ebay who makes custom USB drives out of Hot Wheels cars as a hobby. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but as a motorsport fanatic, I couldn't help myself and bought a Ken Block Gymkhana Fiesta USB drive to check it out!

Co-op Gaming in Eyefinity: Payday The Heist

Welcome to the first of my video blogs where I look at co-op games and how satisfying the experience is in multi-monitor. I love co-op gaming, but not all co-op games play well in multi-monitor. My reviews cover what I needed to do to get the game working in Eyefinity, any issues that I found in the game that relate to it, and how fun I found the whole experience.

This episode reviews the game Payday: The Heist.

In case it is helpful, I have provided a text copy of the transcript as well. Enjoy!
