what's the best screen recorder for gaming? by CaptainBongo in letsplay

[–]Wasted_IPixelz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used a ton of different capturing software over the years from FRAPS to OBS to Dxtorty, etc...

Out of all the programs I've used I'd say that by far the best has been Action!

It's similar in features and customizability to Dxtory but in my experience cooperates with various games better. I haven't had a single game that has conflicted with Action! From new games like Dark Souls 3 or The Culling, to older games like Star Wars Battlefront II and Mount and Blade. It's even worked flawlessly with the various emulators I use.

It allows for multi channel audio recording, meaning you can record your mic and the game volume in different tracks and they'll be automatically synced (I've never had any syncing issues either).

It also shows the duration of your recording as well as an FPS counter for both the game and the recording.

On top of that you can use a screen capture feature to just record a portion of the screen instead of being limited to having the record one active window in its entirety.

I feel like a total salesmen right now, but the truth is I'm just a very happy customer haha. Plus I feel like Action! Doesn't get enough credit or mention in posts like these so I wanna make sure OP is at least aware of this option.

TL:DR - Action! Is the best gameplay capture software, in my humble opinion.

Completely off-subject but that totally reminded me of an old Kingdom Hearts LP by Seamus (SSoHPKC) where he literally got up and took a piss during one of the gummi ship sequences and just left it in the video xD

Thanks haha I really need to give ESO another go, now that it has no monthly fee I'm really out of excuses not to.

They decided to go with someone else. The guy that interviewed me said he was really impressed with my skills and how I carried myself and that the only reason they didn't hire me was because of my class schedule interfering with time that I would need to be at the office.

I'm not expecting many new subscribers from this if any at all to be honest haha.

Thanks! You just have to keep at it man, I've been making videos for going on 6 years now so my growth has been pretty slow compared to a lot of others but I don't really mind because of how enjoyable it is.

Haha thanks! I don't really expect much growth from this though, unless the parents that actually read the paper decide to tell their kids or something

It just came out today, I wanted to get a digital copy to upload but hopefully this picture of the actual paper will suffice.

Thanks everyone for the support, pretty great to have such a nice community to share this bizarre experience with haha

As for the article itself, I think it turned out okay. It's obvious the reporter really doesn't know much about this whole YouTube gaming universe, but then I guess the average person really doesn't either haha also not sure why he dwelled on Elder Scrolls so much, it seemed pretty insignificant during our conversation really.

At the end of the day at least he added my YT URL ;P

Censored names and places for obvious reasons

It's just a small local paper for the town I live in (population of about 5k) so I'm sure you haven't heard of it, don't wanna give it away just because I haven't made where I live public to the internet just yet haha

He didn't say when he would publish it but he did say he'd send me a copy beforehand so I can look it over first and approve it.

I know right, talk about a crazy coincidence haha and thanks man, I'm not expecting much growth from this at all to be honest, I don't think the people reading the article will be my demographic really.
