What's better than FlatOut? Bacon and FlatOut 2 are just two things, but if you can't get either of those, FlatOut with true widescreen support is the next best thing. All you have to do is download ThirteenAG's widescreen fix at http://bit.ly/GB4yYD and extract it to your FlatOut folder. Tada! Instant widescreen. The fix does reduce performance a little, as the GPU has more to render, but for all netbooks except Cedar Trail ones, the framerate drop is more than worth the increase in visual quality. Also, this video is the first of mine to use my new, higher quality encoding scheme, so all of my videos from here on out will look much better without sucking up any more bandwidth. Only the best for you, dear viewers.
