Renegade Ops (Triple Monitors / Eyefinity / Surround) [~4K] Video

Renegade Ops is a action shooter that has you taking control of 1 of 5 vehicles (6 if you include the helicopter) and using them to shoot your way though the army of a mad man calling himself Inferno. The game works well on a multi-montor setups, scaling correctly, but as is common the HUD is fixed to the edges of the screen, also the score popups appear to be stretched. Once again if your monitors width is larger than 1920 pixels and you have lots of bandwidth, set the quality to original and play the video in full screen for a much higher quality.

WSGF Attending 2012 FX GamExperience w/ HardOCP & AMD

AMD & HardOCP will be hosting another event in Dallas, on January 21, 2012. The "FX GamExperience" will focus on the CPU side of AMD's house, but there will be Eyefinity activities and the WSGF will be attending in an official capacity. I will be part of the official AMD booth, hanging out with Shane Parfitt (Product Manager for Eyefinity). I will be dispensing Eyefinity advice and will take part in an Eyefinity panel discussion with Shane. So stop by and say hello. Also, I will be showcasing the new WSGF Edition monitor stand at the AMD booth, and AMD will be giving one away to one lucky attendee.

At the last event in July, I had a great time as an attendee. I was able to meet a number of WSGF members and had a great day hanging out and talking Eyefinity and gaming with folks. This event is shaping up to be much bigger. The venue is 3x the size of the last one, and the sponsor's list has grown to include: Antec, ASRock, Asus, Corsair, Diamond, Ergotech Group, Gigabyte, Maingear, MSI, Patriot Memory, and Sapphire. The volume of give-aways will simply be staggering (I was amazed last time), and I would expect the attendance record of ~450 from the last event to simply be crushed.

So, now I've just got to start practicing in Dirt 3 on the G27 Logitech wheel I got for Christmas, so I don't embarass myself...

The Haunted: Hell's Reach

Massacre meets machismo in this third-person co-op survival shooter. Repel demonic hordes with firearms, melee and hand-to-hand moves in various solo and multiplayer modes over eight open maps plus an Inferno boss stage. And for a change of pace, why not play as a trap-setting, minion-spawning demon yourself ?

Video Capture Software Evaluation - PlayClaw

Breaking my ultimate game capture software review/evaluation down into individual articles for each software as I test them and then will have one major recap at the end where I will pick my favorite and make recommendations. I am going to kick things off with the first article being for PlayClaw because I had to admit I was taken by surprise when I started testing this software and feel that it deserves an article for some attention by fellow let's play artist and video producers.
