Same here. If I could record my gameplay, I would.

Edit: I realize actually, that I can record my gameplay. However, since it's not a capture card, I'll be playing with around a full second of lag. :disapprove:

PC gamers use Fraps, or a print screen recorder type program.

Console or arcade gamers use a digicam or a webcam.

MAME or emulator players can use their personal recording apps.

Alright, I have something that I can try out. Pick one and I'll record a bit of it later:

World of Warcraft
Super Mario War
Me failing miserably at N (Sometimes you get some funny deaths, though)
Armagetron Advanced, also potentially failing
Good, old Fraxy
Just a quick note, I don't know how well the full-screen games will work. If you want me to try it, I will, but it might look horrible.

Dang, that is one roasted Puyo. Interesting how you were able to kill him with fire even though he was colored red. (I know red enemies aren't always fire-aligned, but it happens a heck of a lot.)

Its also common for such a scenario to only reduce the effectiveness of said spell.

well, for now, I already have this horrible quality fraxy run of beating what was possibly the most annoying enemy from Tact (and I don't think we ever gave it to the others.)

I accidently had my mic on while recording, but didn't say anything, so there is a bit of white noise. Just mute the sucker.

That's me doing a run-through of a beta version of "Rez" that got leaked out. Showing off some of the dev tool stuff. Boring as hell unless you're into behind-the-scenes sort of stuff. I didn't have a working capture card at that time.

And here's my review of Ikaruga for the Xbawx 180. You can watch a better quality version by going to the page for the video and clicking the "Watch in Higher Quality" link thing.

Anyway, this is of a game called Super Mario War. In the game mode I show, called Stomp, players compete to reach the target number of enemy kills. I pretty much wiped the floor with everybody in this one. Another video I took had a closer score, if you want to see that too.

settle down nitro. all you need to do is have fraps open. then play your game. you will know if its on if you see a yellow fps counter in one of the corners. then press what ever the video capture button you've set. the fps meter will turn red to indicate its recording. press the video capture button again to stop. its not that hard. or is it!
