Screenshot thread

I was just testing out some new rendering/lighting techniques

Can you recommend me free screenshot app, that does png, tif output?

MSI Afterburner is a good free alternative to FRAPS, as it does video recording too. It's a bit more complex though as it's first and foremost for overclocking vid cards but offers many more options.

Why the Fighter / Fighter / Thief combo, though? Unlike in W8, the base classes never seemed to be very good in W6 and W7, except for leveling very fast.

There's also Open source Broadcasting System. It's designed mainly for streaming, but also does recording.

Seems to be getting fairly good reviews, which makes me suspect it's shit. So, how is it?

MSI Afterburner

This is one mighty cool app. I use MSI motherboard. Thank you .

Why are your screenshots so blurry? Here is one I just took from Wiz 7 with Afterburner, 100% quality png.

Looks like bilinear filtering with monitor scaling on top

Is Outlast worth to play? Mind you the only horror game I'm not resistant to is Silent Hill and a lesser degree COC: Dark Corners of the Earth, all the others (including Amnesia) don't really scare me.

Yeah, it does look like that. Bilinear filtering seriously looks terrible, it's the first thing I disable in every emulator. For DOSBox, normal2x or 3x scaler looks best at desktop res with aspect ratio locked. That way it stays sharp and all the glorious pixels are there to behold. Afterburner automatically removes the sidebars too unlike FRAPS, so you get clean 1440x1080 (1439 sometimes) shots when using a 1080p resolution.

I don't use software scaling, because that horrible pixelization, that you show is exactly what I want to avoid.

Bad dog!

 

[FeelTheRads]

No it doesn't. Pixels > that blurry messy shit.
Goddamn newgraphicfags.

dannyfx1's screens are probably more authentic to the old-school CRT experience. People seem to forget that CRTs back in the day would usually blur the hell out of the pixels. The way we see them with emulators now, with pristine chunky pixels is not how it was back then (before LCDs).

But bilinear filtering / GPU scaling doesn't quite do it right either. Hasn't anyone figured out an authentic looking CRT emulation yet?

Co-oping "Lord of the Rings: War in the North" with my brother:

AWESHUM!

Yeah, we should totally go with you Aragorn!

He replies something like "Dude, I would totally let you go, but Gandalf gets angry when he's contradicted, so we'll just take the Fellowship guys, k'?". Quite awkward moment.

Oh, poor Arwen... what have they done to you?

But to be fair, Arwen apart, the rest of the sceneries and characters are quite well done.

THIS IS RETARDED! Me and my brother spend like 2 hours trying to beat this bonus level, surviving 20 really challenging waves, and when we finally win.... there's nothing. No chest, loot, gold, achievement, pat in the back... just that "Final Wave Completed!" text.... what a letdown.

 

[RK47]

Aragon is bad enough but arwen...AHAHahahHhhaahhah motherfucker.

I wanted to like that game as an easy-going hack 'n' slash, but it's just not good. Graphics are nice to look at and it has a decent visceral feel to it, but it's soooo mehhhhhhhhhhhhh..

Yeah... me and my brother played all previous Snowblind games and had quite some fun, especially with Champions of Norrath... but this is really soooo meeeeehhhhhhhhhh....

Fucking 'A'?

That's it, it's watchwitz time for you.

 

[Zewp]

That game does actually play a lot better with a controller than the keyboard. The game isn't much fun, though.

 

[skacky]

Pirate Doom. Do yourself a favor an play it, it's fantastic.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Its more like Pirate "Outlaws"


Now I have to reinstall and play Outlaws :/
