So recently I started doing game commentaries. It is quite fun. I even bought some minor upgrades to make it easier like a 1TB HDD and a better CPU cooler. I did a lot of research on how to do this with hardware and with software.
I just played whatever game I had on my STEAM list, which is not a lot, and I picked Metro 2033. I'd do GW2, but I can't really think of anything to do and record that is of interest. GW2 files are also big.. like 4 GB per every 2minutes. Other games is about 4 GB every 3-4minutes.
I also elected to record my dog just laying on my computer desk not caring in the world. Haha. I probably should try to get my doggie more involved.
Can anyone give me some advice ,content or quality wise. (I've moved my mic a bit further from my mouth in the later videos ^^).

My hardware is
i5 3570k 3.4ghrtz ivybridge
8gb ram
500 gb HDD
1 tb HDD
radeon 6780 HD 1GB
650w PSU
asrock z77 extreme4
1440x900 res 19inch monitor
My software is
sony vegas
avidemux
audacity
Workflow
Edit videos in sony vegas
Render as 720p mp4
Open in avidemux
Compress with h264 (rate factor 20)
It was quite fun doing it. I think I got like 39 episodes recorded. Took up about 900GB worth of space actually with raw footage, audio recording, web cam footage, rendered files and compressed files.
