What do people use for recording video of a game screen these days?

Open Broadcast Software or something like that. Google (or Bing) OBS video capture.

Cool, thanks guys.

unregistered hypercam

take it back. Unregistered hypercam really gives you that 2005 feel videos these days have really lost.

make sure any instructions you give are typed out on notepad instead of voicing them

I have an "instructions.txt" file.

I just solved the last problem ... with my balls.
So my balls work fine now.

my balls can be hit
my balls can fly
my balls can bounce
my balls can roll
my balls can bounce off slopes
my balls can roll on slopes
my balls can change heading
my balls can spin correctly based on speed.
my balls can bounce off obstacles
my balls can be slowed down by friction
my balls can be slowed down when passing thru certain objects

maybe you'll be able to see my balls one day.

Camcorders work well.

I never got one of those.

My first thought was to sketch each frame into a sketch book, flip book style.
Then using an animation stand, shoot each page onto 8mm film.
Then get that developed and scanned into a digital format.

OBS works, but can be a pain to get good footage out at the end. I've found ShadowPlay to work well, but it requires supported Nvidia hardware.
