Fraps for Video Game Recording

Fraps Video Game RecordingWhat program should you use to capture PC video game footage? Fraps.  While not free, it does do everything I need for it to do.  It handles both video and audio capture pretty well (there are a few bugs) but if you can look past that – it is a handy program to have. You can use it for benchmarking, screen capture or video capturing too.

Minecraft 101 with Coe’s Quest

Coe's QuestI have been playing a lot of Minecraft lately.  It is an awesome little game, that can be very addictive if you are into the idea of surviving in a world all by yourself and building this, that and the other just because you can.  However, jumping into Minecraft with no guide at all might be a little intimidating to some.  Thankfully though I have found a great tutorial series by a man named Coe that will help guide you through the world of Minecraft.

Super Nintendo Retro Review

Mitch's New Super Nintendo

Here recently I have been playing games like it the mid-90s all over again. How? Well, I thought it was about time I bought myself a replacement Super Nintendo.  My old SNES bit the dust the last time I tried plugging it in (it served me well) so this time I picked up one of the newer models – well as new as a system built in 1997 can be.

Mortal Kombat HD Wallpaper

Mortal Kombat Wallpaper

Ever wake up with the urge to freeze somebody and then upcut them over and over again?  I did.  Rather than trying to do the act I previously mentioned, I decided to feed my urges with some Mortal Kombat wallpaper.  This fantastic wallpaper I found takes the old Mortal Kombat dragon logo and gives it a modern and polished update. 

Like it? You can grab it from here. You also have the option to download it in the following sizes: 1280×800, 1440×900, 1680×1050, or 1920×1200.

Playstation 3 Energizer Power & Play Charging System

PS3 Controller Charger Having picked up two more controllers for the Playstation 3, I needed a better way to charge them.  Previously I had just hooked the USB cable up to my PC or to the PS3 to charge.  With four controllers though, that was going to be a pain.  The solution?  I picked up the Playstation 3 Energizer Power & Play Charging System

At nearly $30, it is rather expensive compared to the other PS3 controller chargers out there today.  But then again, each controller costs $50 a piece, so I wanted to make sure I had a charger that would not ruin them and that would work.  Energizer is a name I know, so there you go.
