    Indeed @Nordic

    On a side note......... It saves all footage to their own enclosed network it seems, so no editing locally or uploading to other video sites suchs as that obscure one called YouTube for example. It's a bit, weird...

    I asked if you were feeling lucky, because I only read the title and then your post. I now see this thread is discussing video recording programs.

    I am reading this. http://scree.org/forge-gg-game-streaming-without-the-hassle/ It seems interesting. The only thing that concerns me is that it doesn't record locally to my hdd. I don't want to use my upload.

    It has a really nice feature set, and supposedly no fps loss.

    I've found some other program, claiming the "no FPS loss" thing http://forge.gg/

    It was on a facebook ad, so yeah that already had me going hmmmmmmmm WAAAT?

    Here's a YT review:

    No idea if Forge can hold up to their challenge, I've got OBS working perfectly soooooo....... But for those of you wanting to give it a try, maybe it is better? Who really knows :tongue:

    I refuse to trust a reviewer that still has utorrent on his pc - even if it's a legacy version.

    No video but I took down two skulks at the same time, whats special was that one of the skulks was statistically the best player on the server. BTW Now that you mention Shadow Play I will actually run it and be sure to save clips that I think are sweet and send them here.

    Nice! Make sure you can see the icon in the corner, so you know it's running. For me at least, Shadowplay has a habit of... just... not starting sometimes. Something awesome happens, and to my horror, it wasn't captured. :(

    I really wish I was using shadowplay today, because I managed to get a welder kill on a lerk. I knew it was a gamble to use welder instead of reload but it paid off.

    During a gorge rush - failed rush that is, we off course was BB the CC, marines Beacon kill the gorges, and phase back to kill the hive - non stayed to weld, and they fergot about the bablers! they where MVP that round and got the CC kill.

    Think the real alien mvp there... Is the marine comm. That's definitely a comm fail.

    Okay, I'm a youtube/video noob so apologies if this takes me a few edits to get right...

    Very narrowly escaping @IronHorse's fade.



    My shadowplay wont record audio if I forget to change the default audio on my desktop to headphones before I fire up ns2 since ns2 is defaulted to headphones, so just imagine the noises.

    Video is unwatchable. It says it does not exist. I am assuming you have the video set to private.

    @2cough

    I love those moments when I am compelled to stupidly risk it all just for the possibility of getting the satisfying killing blow on someone that really really needs to die in your opinion. :D

    Also : Wowww it looks like I was 20 ft away on your screen when hitting you, but for me you were point blank basically.

    Blind 'nades, luck or skill?

    I never even saw the skulk, but I heard him and knew he was chasing me. Still, I never would have expected to actually get a kill on this shot.

    In the good old times of Exo pain trains, it once thought that crawling through my Gorge Tunnel was a good idea and a noob marine killing the entrance on one side and me hard pressing E on the other did the rest :)

    I remember a game on Medi's captains server where I think three exos jumped through a tunnel. Only to have the gorge rapidly drop both ends of a new one, killing everyone inside. It was one of the more painful things to ever happen in my memory of ns2.

    I think it were atleast two Exos and a some footsoldiers. Unfortunately a couple of Alien's stalling the train died in the process, but their heroic sacrifice is remembered. :tongue:
    Map was Descent and tunnel was from Drone Bay to Fabrication I believe.
