Title: Help me. I wanna play games and Im an idiot
Post by: ChaosVortex on 21 December 2011, 06:48:27
I wanna play games while recording them and do lets plays. I downloaded a thing for Fraps but it still requires the full software, so I downloaded Camstudio and it won't save my video file, and so I downloaded WeGame and I don't know what the heck I have to do to operate it and now I have to call a Taksi and I JUST DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ANYMORE.

yeah, help? I think some of you guys have done Lets plays. I wanna try doing good quality stuff.

NO DUMB HYPERCAM. I wanna do games on web browsers and softwares.

Well, the full version of fraps handles pretty much everything.

I'm thinking of buying it soon because I love recording my Skyrim stuff for more than 30 seconds at a time.

So you recommend buying the whole thing? There's no decent free one out there? That's like $40.

$40 isn't that bad if it's something you really want to do.

It's not, but I'm cheap. If I don't have to spend money on something, I won't.

Think of it as an investment. Do Youtube partnership once you start the Lets Plays.

I know there are people who LIVE off of it, so $40 shouldn't be that hard to make back.

It takes a long time to get a partnership though and I wouldn't count on it.
I know someone who's a Youtube Partner but her earliest video was 2007 and she doesn't get paid that much. It's on a per view basis. You need lots of subscribers to and lots of loyal fans to be able to live off of the money even after becoming a partner.

Not to discourage you or anything. It's just not as easy as it looks.

Well I ain't saying he has to live off of it. Just enough for some pocket change if he's any good.

Thats actually the general idea Im going for. Not to make a living off it though, just to try commentary lets plays out.

I'll be buying Fraps then. If I can't figure out how to operate it, I'll be posting my stupidity here.

It still takes a long time and there are no guarantees. It's freakin' Google, they could dismiss you and ban you just because they don't like you.
