Borderlands 2: How to Maximize Screen Resolution

Since I'm on vacation I finally have a chance to get back to playing some video games.  I bought Borderlands 2 a long time ago, during the Steam Summer Sale, but never had the time to play it.  I started playing it yesterday but found that the resolution was really poor and for some reason I wasn't able to change it to a higher resolution.  Well I was able to determine the reason was the Framerate option.  So, if you are unable to change the resolution to a higher resolution change the framerate option to something higher.  I've set mine to unlimited, using a 7950, and it works wonderfully, and I was then able to change the Resolution setting.

You can probably do it before starting the game or from within the game but I didn't notice the resolution issue until I started the game.

Assassin's Creed PC Xbox 360 Controller Fix

So I recently purchased and started playing Assassin's Creed (probably works with the rest of the franchise), I know I'm quite late to the party, but I purchased it during the Summer Steam Sale.  Anyways, I was able to bind most of the buttons but then I had issues with the triggers.  Having to use the buttons right above the triggers was a pain since using the triggers is much more comfortable.  After some browsing I was able to find this fix online.  All you have to do is drop the files in the Assassin's Creed game folder within Steam.  Now all the buttons are mapped, especially the triggers, making the game more enjoyable.  One issue I found is that I am not able to remap the buttons to anything else, pretty much locked :(.  Enjoy!!

*I'm not sure if the rest of the franchise has this issue, but I found the fix for Assassin's Creed II and it works fine for Assassin's Creed I.

iOS App of the Week: Bad Piggies

From the makers of Angry Birds might be the only similarity it has to Bad Piggies.  Unlike Angry Birds where you shoot birds and destroy things, your goal in Bad Piggies is to build a machine and make it to a finish line.  All in all it is an enjoyable game.  If your the type that likes to build things than I would give this game a try.  Hey, it's free so why not.
