Recording Scenarios... Just Curious

[iamfritz]

I have found that when I am OBS'ing my battle it is not as fun, I am not as tactical, and I do not enjoy the battle as much. Anyone else experience this? Or am I just weird.

OBSing?

@iamfritz This is likely just from nerves at the idea of you "being recorded." It is very easy to get into this idea that everything has to be perfect, and that every single mistake can be rewatched, picked apart, and criticized. 

 

Best advice I can give is to play like you normally would. Your audience should enjoy you for being you; don't try to be something that you are not.

Just from my personal experience seeing something go horribly wrong and someone trying to hang on can be enjoyable too.

Recording in the OBS app.

 

It's an official US Army term you should know. Dude, do you even army?

 

Actually no it's not.

I did, but there's more armies around than US Army. 😉

I'm just kidding. It's a nerd/interwebz term for using OBS to film anything you want onyour screen.

I have tried about a half dozen programs, and paid for most, to record videos.  I find OBS is the easiest to set up, and use, that solves some issues that I have with the others.

Every time I've ever recorded anything in my life, yes. You're in a different state of mind and conscious of thing like composition, timing, etc. It's distracting and only natural to play differently. I am not optimized for multithreading.

I'm all for recording my scenarios.  Interesting to hear what I sound like in the heat of combat (screaming, cussing, etc).  Posting in YouTube or Twitter gives more exposure for the game, gains more Treadheads involved.  My only problem is that my GPU is so obsolete, I can't record in HD at all.  Sad.  

 

I tend to talk a lot more when I record my own single player games, makes me feel like a commander (never made higher than E-4 in the Army).  Also tend to explain more for the viewers.  In some cases, I roleplay my positions out.  Yep, I'm on that level of weird.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Quite the contrary, I'd say. Probably helps with knowledge retainment (if you want a functional justification), but to me it'd be more fun that way in any case.
