Review: Having Duel monitors.

Yes that is my room. 10 points if you can guess what the poster is.


In a word: Wesker

In 289 words:


Yes. I do feel like bloody Albert Wesker with duel monitor, though one maybe largely outsized by the other. It's not that I've been owner of one of the largest pharmaceutical companies and started about 20,000,000 zombie out-breaks, it's that I feel powerful being able to watch my mouse zoom between screens.

Ok, I'll stop making 'Resident Evil' references (for now). So to run in duel monitor you will obviously need two monitors but you will also have to have a decent graphics card. My set up is my 22" in 1680x1050 in digital and my... other one in analogue. Analogue has a blue plug and digital has a white plug with squares in it. Apparently digital gives a better picture, so I’m told.

Now we come to usefulness. Having two monitors is very useful. A bit surreal, but useful. More space, better for playing games while on any IM, more fun and it makes you look really cool!
That’s why I love Duel monitor. You can have clone screen mirror screen and all sorts but I think it depends on what graphics card you have, I have quite an old one so maybe you might be able to. It's just like having a REALLY big monitor, accept with a large gap in the middle...

Some bad things are clashing resolutions and picture quality. The left screen is incredibly fuzzy. If you do get Duel screen, may I advise you get Two of the same monitor and either a both analogue or both digital graphics card.

The only thing I don't like about having duel monitors is that 'world of goo's pointer sometimes goes onto the other screen



Oh and no one won the competition because no one entered.

Review of film: Transmorphers.

Transmorphers.

In a Word: LOL

In 491 words:

Made in 2007, directed by Leigh Scott, this film features a tail of man verses machine, with a twist.

The machines are an evil alien race that have decided to invade earth on their conquest to be dicks.

It’s never ever made clear why they invaded and forced a baffled humanity underground, because that’s never happened before…

The DVD case shows beautiful graphic-bad-ass robot and even more bad-ass people shooting at it. This is not the film.

Have you ever played or heard of perimeter?

Thas is the film.

The graphics are diabolical! I mean, I love crappy films but please. This is just too bad. QQ

The Set and costumes could have been greatly improved; for instance, the costumes could have been sexier and more flexible, the set could have consisted more than dark grey cardboard and the camera man could have laid off the booze.

The acting was a rigid as Ms. Norris when she got petrified by the basilisk.

The voices are a variation from as shaky as a metronome up Kilimanjaro to as stern as, well, a ships stern…

The audio editing is awful. Pure gob from the mouth of Rorschach

The characters (maybe due to lame acting) aren’t very well portrayed which make the story very hard to follow as there are about 20 main characters. I also had trouble remembering names, although that may have been because I had lost interest after 20 minutes. We start out with about 4 people to remember – that’s fine, I can handle that – then two of them die and we are fired into a room with people we don’t know talking about their wives and people that have been frozen.

Lack of plot. There is some plot but what little of it there is does not make any sense at all. As you could have guessed it isn’t a try at Transformers (which is a hell load better). So there are evil aliens on your planet that have created eternal night and will kill you in an instant; what do you do? According to this film you unfreeze a man convicted of treason and let him and a sexy woman control the fate of humanity. The humans have a weapon against the machine that can take out large numbers of them. This weapon is called Emag, which made me laugh as the learning support centre at my school is also called Emag.

Though with this lack of plot, they managed to get one of the most unexpected things i think I’ve ever come across!

So over all that was about an hour and a half of my life gone. Never to return.

Only watch it if you can sit and stare at the same picture for a million years.

Also I would strongly advise epileptics to not watch this film as there is an extreme over use of lightning which doesn’t have thunder rolling on after it.
