E: K why did it only post 1 of my 5 images?

The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly configurable and upgradable gaming platform that, among home systems, sports the widest variety of control methods, largest library of games, and cutting edge graphics and sound capabilities.
PC Screenshot thread
The top one is from Wargame: European Escalation, the Middle are indeed Metro, and the bottom is from Arma 2: OA.@AlexW00d: Games? The three in the middle are from Metro 2033, if memory serves, but I can't put a name to the first and the fifth. The first one looks pretty sweet.
Catzilla (Benchmark)
Yeah, yeah, I know it's just a benchmarking tool...you can get it here.
These are from a while ago. I remember finishing my first game of Sins, then I decided to try developer mode and mess around.
I finally got around to playing some more of Chivalry and it's hella fun. I love the crazy moments that can happen in free for all. Me and two other dudes were fighting for about a minute and a half just circling and blocking each other's attacks until I finally killed one but then I was killed by the other person. I also find the spectator cam pretty fun to watch which is probably the first time I've ever said that about a game.
Some Skyrim here. Just browsing around my various screenshot folders. I have an unbelievable amount on steam...wish they were labeled better.
And finally, one of the Arma 2 (Arrowhead, I think? Not too sure) training things for calling in support. I just called in like 20 A-10s, but a lot flew out from the render distance.

ENB Graphics Mod - This link
The above mod is what powers the subtle and not-so-subtle graphics enhancements that are shown on my screenshots. I'm using v0.139 and it works fine with one tweak I'll mention in a moment, but you can also try v0.144 which is definitely the latest version.
Cinematic ENB - This link
This is a mod that holds specific settings that tell ENB how to enhance the visuals of the game. They also have a few instructions in the description of that mod you should follow to enable shadows on trees and grass if you wish.
Now how to apply the two mods is pretty quick:
- Unzip the ENB Graphics Mod to the Skyrim main folder (if you can't find it, Right click the game entry on Steam to go to 'Local Files', then click 'Browse Local Files...' to get to it)
- Unzip Cinematic ENB but to a seperate folder for now.
- Copy all the files EXCEPT the 'd3d9.dll' file from the Cinematic ENB mod. It's from an older version of ENB and you might as well use the latest dll with the latest improvements in my opinion.
Then that's basically it. You'll know it's being applied if you see some text on the top-left of your game, indicating that ENB was loaded. Don't worry, it goes away shortly.
HOWEVER!!
If when running this you encounter your game being hit with a light-blue tint, then you need to enable one setting in the file 'enbseries.ini' (in the Skyrim main folder). Open it via notepad and search for 'WaitBusyRenderer'. change the value of the line you find with the same name from 'false' to 'true'. This will make ENB render properly for your card. This happened to me and had to do this extra step myself.
Don't let the large descriptions I wrote here make it seem like it's a chore. It's really only a couple minutes tops and I just want to make sure I didn't leave anything out for you. Hope it all works and if something goes wrong just ask me.
@OfficeGamer: Hey dude. In case you haven't seen it yet, I already replied with what mods I used for the visuals I'm rolling with atm for Skyrim. Hope it works if you intend to use those the main two mods I used.

@ShiftyMagician: Thank you very much for the instructions! Do I need to worry about any other graphics mods I have conflicting? I will try this out when I am done with Antichamber, it's really drawn me in. Might even get Dragonborn.
The only worry you might have to address is if you are using any mods that alter lights in Skyrim. Most mods never even touch a single light behaviour, however there are a few mods that are specifically designed to offer an author's version of realistic lighting. Those might change how light behaves once the mods I recommended are applied, so just give it a run and play it some to see if the lights seem normal for you.
Other than that, it won't conflict with anything at all since the two mods apply their effects post-render. The mods also recommend reducing the level of anti-aliasing that you use to maximise the framerate as these mods generally take a performance hit (FXAA does a good job as an alternative anti-aliasing method and is in the launcher options). Makes sense when you consider that you are adding even more graphics effects, as well as asking every tree and individual grass object to start making shadows. It is bloody worth it though for computers that can pull it off.
Also yea I'm on the same boat with Antichamber. Loving that game so much right now.
Rayman Origins
Just how the fuck did that happen?
Here's to vanilla Skyrim, which still looks gorgeous in my opinion. ENBs are cool and make for incredible screenshots but the ones I tried are always too bright, too dark or too saturated. It just doesn't feel right to me. I do use a few graphics mods but none that change the base game too much.

Just me shankin' dragons. Too legit to quit.
That is remarkably legit indeed my good man.
Disclaimer:
It has been brought to my attention that this was taken from my 360 not my PC and that seems to be a crime. You have been warned.
For no particular reason here are a couple images from Comic jumper because they are weird sexist and make me laugh
and then......
