AWESOME I JUST GOT MY NEW ALIENWARE X51 TODAY HERE ARE THE SPECS : CPU_Name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz Video_Caption: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Video_AdapterRAM: 1536MB Disk_Size: 1000 GB
edit plus 8 gigs of ram
im also considering a lets play but i feel a little self-conscious that i wouldnt be that entertaining , i guess it's just practice
What I used to do is record at half my monitor's native resolution which I run games at (1440x900) which means it was either 360p or 480p with lots of black space. Something I tried then is playing in windowed at 1280x720 and recording at full, looks pretty good though the files/encoding times are quite long. Recording at half that resolution should be good
Announcement: I've decided to abandon my Dragonborn Let's Play, with so few people watching and my crappy mic, having to record, commentate and upload everything it really bogs down the gameplay and discourages exploration (since I don't want really long uploads and such). I think I'll just stick to mostly build videos and you can expect them in 720p in the future!
