Related thought: I wonder if you can use a second screen in TF2 to see 180° behind you to spycheck your back?

How do you get a game to spread across multiple monitors anyway?

I have two, but never have figured out how to do that.

That's using AMD's Eyefinity technology, for ATI cards. There's also the equivalent NVIDIA Surround.

For just two you might not be able to do it, not sure though, I've only ever used one....but even if you could, anything like racing and FPS games wouldn't look that great because you'd probably have it split right down the middle. Some games should support both already though -- IIRC Supreme Commander does, it lets you view the zoomed out map on one side the normal one on the other, like this.

Really, the game has to support it. Many flight sims (MS FS) and racing games do, and I know that BF Bad Company 2 does.

A friend of mine is a flight sim ubber nerd and has 4 screens: Main, left, right, and a little one above the main that is the 6 o'clock view. he kicks ass in dogfights

I hear that people who are really into flight simulators will do this with normal monitors.

Messy Recipe:  deleted all the last couple years worth of bots & managed to preserve the two real people that have posted since then xD

so many DELETED spam posts now tho that I think I'll need to automate cleaning those moreso than i already have

Messy Recipe:  sry about the bots :( been busy & havent gotten round to doing the usual cleanup

need to prolly stick this behind cloudflare or something

Drunken Monkey:  doing well, been building a hobby ranch of my own, got married, no kids, only dogs, sheep and a horse

Comradekil:  so anyway, i wonder how everyone's lives all progressed.. who's in jail? who's grandparents now.. ha life
Drunken Monkey:  and yes....i do miss 1942 aswell, i honestly think it is what drove me to get a M1 garand in real live, and is still my most used rifle
Drunken Monkey:  bots are getting silly
Comradekil:  Sup dudes
Messy Recipe:  the BAR-1918 always felt so good in that game
Messy Recipe:  I miss vanilla 1942 as much as Pirates... need to see if the Origin version (or even original) still has anyone playing sometime
Stealth:  Hello all! Head to the lounge and post a memory!
Stealth:  I saw a BF1942 fraps video of a guy jumping out of a plane and RPG'd another plane. I immediately came here for nostalgia. Miss you all.
Messy Recipe:  I've not tried Sea of Thieves... kinda was bummed to learn its servers don't allow many simultaneous players. gimme 32v32 galleon fights
Messy Recipe:  oh gosh I really need to automate the spambot removal instead of making myself do it by hand don't I -.-
Drunken Monkey:  merry Christmas you lot
[BB]Piccolo:  Anybody playing Sea of Thieves?
[BB]Piccolo:  I'm amazed I actually still knew my login. We Black Buccaneers certainly had a special relationship with you Cut Throats. Nothing like a fierce rivalry to make the battlefield exciting, eh? :)
