Gamasutra bitches about brightness

Gamasutra does this yearly bitch article about random things in games. This year one of their problems is the inability to fully tweak brightness in Fallout1/2.

It's funny they bring this up because for the past few years it has been way too dark on my larger monitor with gamma settings and ingame brightness already maxed out. You'd think the Nvidia nview hotkeys used to further adjust gamma/contrast/brightness would fix it because this is something EVERY game (especially good for FPS's like Doom 3) takes advantage of. Unfortunately Fallout doesn't. So what can you do? Download a little program called Powerstrip, start Fallout, alt tab, hit whatever key combination adjusts gamma (for me it's shift ctl +,-), then tab back into the game.

You'll need a cracked version of Powerstrip to work after 30 days. If you can't find it I might be nice and supply it. The download is like 2 or 3 MB so no big deal.

What the fuck? There is a brightness slider in Options. What else do you want? RGB settings? Sepia? Goddamn Median Filter? Jesus.

That's what I was gonna say. I just move it up two notch higher and the brightness is fine for me.
