Dont know where this came from. But didnt see it here. So I thought I would post it.

Actually, I made it and posted it in another thread in this forum. I didn't see this thread at the time, or I would have posted it here.

AY! And they use the same game engine as Bioshock...
How we love the "artistic choices" of the game makers! :roll:
Can everyone instead just say: "its the game engines 4:3 default FOV - we are just too lazy to change it to proper widescreen FOV?" :lol:

Perhaps they just can't. They just copy and paste code and that is it. Not their fault if they can't do their job properly.
Oh wait...

Heh! No problem at all. I guess at this point, I shouldn't be surprised about how quickly things spread on the InterWeb.

I have a BENQ monitor, and I am keen to go Tallscreen. I think this widescreen stuff was so 1990's it aint funny.

Can anyone tell me how to turn a BENQ 20" monitor on its side? Do I just pick it up? Or do I have to lie on the table to watch my tall screen?

I suppose I am going to need a new mouse pad and keyboard that haver vertical stands. Cool, can't wait.

Just get some bluetack and stick it up on the wall, that does the trick right and proper.

Then prepare to be blown away by the awesomeness!

You know what's really sad?

According to the WHOIS at Network Solutions, someone called "1&1 Internet, Inc." out of Pennsylvania registered the domain name "tallscreengamingforum.com" on August 25, 2007.

Wow.

(Sad, that is, unless it's someone from here. In which case, funny. Otherwise, not so much.)

Companies like that probably see someone mention wanting that address (even in jest) and grab it, in the hope that they can charge the earth for it later. If that was the case, then they are obviously pretty stupid, as nobody sane would pay decent money for that.

Hmm -- I guess I should add that I wasn't checking because I wanted to register the name!

I had an idea for a web service some time back. When I checked WHOIS to see if it was taken, not only was the most obvious form taken, so was every close approximation. In a number of cases, they appeared not even to be used by actual web sites, but were merely grabbed by hosting companies like 1&1 (which I now see is a large international Web hosting service).

Since then I've found it morbidly fascinating to see how quickly new ideas for sites get registered by organizations who apparently have no interest in actually creating a site or service. tallscreengamingforum.com is just the latest example. The twist in this case is that someone is leaping to register a satirical suggestion, which is funny in a rueful-headshake kind of way.

I wonder if whoever registered tallscreengamingforum.com reads widescreengamingforum.com for the information, or merely to find site ideas to pounce on?

I'm almost inclined to start chumming the water with my own bogus site ideas just to watch the sharks feed....
