People either use an HD PVR or a capture card. I use a PVR. The quality is amazing:

Honestly Lets Play videos are boring and pointless unless you have a great personality.

Why would I want to watch someone play and beat a game, when I could do it? I understand the whole "Oh I just want to see what the game looks like" but watch a 2 minute demo.

But I mean if you have a great personality and are a funny dude go for it. I personally (on my channel) started off with LP's and I realized how really lame they were. Now I post gameplays and talk about real life stuff. People like that more. ( trust )

Got picked up by S1MPLEMINDZ (ex: Floppyfootlong) for just keeping it real and talking about real stuff. Be yourself, be funny, be unique.

What if you've played a game to death and feel like just relaxing and watching someone else go through it for a change? Or you can compare how they do things differently than you? Some lets plays are actually entertaining to me and some people actually know how to add humor to them as well.

Well, you might be confusing "let's play"s with video walkthroughs...

No I'm not I've watched plenty of Lets Plays and I frankly don't find them entertaining. Especially since most peoples humor is really borderline the same "What the ****! I KILLED THAT ****ER HAHA! DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT?!"

I think commentaries over gameplay are better imo. All good!

If you're watching boring let's plays of boring games then yes they suck. You probably either just have horrible gaming taste or haven't come across a decent lets play.

I think you are just having trouble admitting that some people don't find the same things as you entertaining. What does it matter anyway?

Edit: If I had this cable, couldnt I just plug in my tv's output into it and plug this into my computer and use some software to record my tv?

Nvm, my video card is video output only. -_-;

Seriously.

And,

You can find some pretty cheap "capture cards" at Best Buy or Fry's (if you have one in your area). When I played on Xbox 360 I got one for $40. Came with the cables and software. Play games on PC, then you can record for free with Fraps

The point is recording from your tv, not from your computer because I can already do that with fraps and my graphics card. I would looking for a solution to this problem that was under 10 dollars, but I'm not sure its possible.

ddrking133 · 08-7-2011, 10:52 PM

No solution under $10 (except play games on the computer, torrent fraps)
