Even though everyone is going to take great care to not put out usernames/character names, PLEASE DON'T POST THIS STUFF OUTSIDE GAF! That way we can make sure people can keep giving us info without worry of being removed from the Alpha.

Okay! Got Fraps installed and ready to go! I suppose I'll go out and do something productive until the Alpha starts (T-Minus 4 hours and counting!).

You should put in huge bold letter to not post anything outside of NeoGAF...unless its something with your name/info completely blurred/blacked out.

GAF is probably the third-least safe place to post things after 2ch and BG, and at least 2ch is anonymous so they can't cross-reference your username. I think we need to appoint someone who isn't in the beta to take all leaks in PM, make sure they're clean, and then post them. :lol

If you post videos on GAF without hiding your name you could be booted very quickly. And none of us want that to happen. How about doing a password-protected .zip and sending the link/password through PMs?

I'm not gonna put videos out there with my username visible and such. I got a gaffer (Gromph) that is gonna edit them up and remove all the identifiable signs (username, character name, etc). I'm not going to put it all out there unedited. :D

I didn't know about having to register Fraps. I'll just register it anyway, since I'm sure I'll use it more and more now that I've been playing more PC games anyway.

I humbly accept this role. Please include login and password with all images so I can be sure it's not printed in reverse in Japanese on your character's shoes.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

IT IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY THIS GAME WITH MOUSE AND KEYBOARD.

The mouse controls feel like molasses and are inverted or something.

edit: I'm stuck with using the arrow keys to control camera

Is anyone recording this at all?

can not get fraps to record or take screenshots, the overlay works fine.

mouse controls may be worse than XI, very disappointed in that regard.
