Azadi Palace Full Round - Battlefield 3 (PC)

This is the first of many post I plan to make. I've got videos of full rounds on all maps in Battlefield 3 maps. Played this round on May 7th, 2013.This was before the ShadowPlay days. I used DxTory record the gameplay.

At the time I was using a Hannspree HZ281HPB monitor which had a resolution of 1920x1200. I couldn't imagine a better monitor at the time. Little did I know that WQHD was right around the corner.

The unfortunate part is, I recorded most of the footage at 1440x900 resolution. I didn't know much about video editing/rendering. I used VirtualDub to edit the videos when I needed to, which is an excellent video editing tool, but I didn't know how to put it to good use.

Add to this, Youtube down scaled the resolution to 720p. Some of the videos I recorded are at 960x600. I bet they look worse. Nevertheless, its great to revisit these maps, for the sake of nostalgia. There are hardly any DLC servers available out there. 

I also improved a lot since then as a Battlefield player. Some of the things I do are cringe worthy.

Need For Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed Diary - Part 7 - Not Going For 100%

My initial idea when starting Need For Speed Shift 2: Unleashed was to get 100% completion in the career mode. After playing this game for a while I realized that there is a whole lot of padding going on, and its starting to get repetitive. I wanted to give up and move on, but I realized I am fairly close to getting to the final championship, and I don't have to get anywhere near 100% for that. 

I am at a point where I don't know why I am playing this game, other than because I started it, and I want to finish it. I have far too many games in my collection to be wasting time on a game like this.
