Guide: Tweaking Call of Duty Black Ops: Tweaks you may not have known about…
Thanks to a user on my Steam profile, I’ve got a few little tricks to share with you in case you’re playing Black Ops and need a bit of a performance boost.
Disable Depth of Field and Anti-aliasing
These two things kill performance. The former tries to make it seem more realistic by “zooming” out distant parts of the level so it feels more realistic. The latter smooths off any rough edges on objects, which means more stress for your GPU to handle.

Review: Dual-USB Port 5000mAh Power Bank; Packs a punch, even charges an iPad!
MiLi Power Crystal compared to the 5000mAh Power Brick.
No, it’s not a pocket HDD. What you see above is a Generic Chinese Power Brick, that is charging off my MiLi Power Crystal as per the official name of the device. We got this one from eBay, search under “5000mAh power bank”. Postage was fast from Hong Kong – we ordered it Thursday last week, and got it on Wednesday. Price tag? Well, $38 USD which was ~$32AUD due to the high Aussie Dollar.
Quick ‘n’ Easy Howto: Flvtubesearch.co Malware Removal
