Well I definitely want to letsplay a point and click for Bay12 again.

I think I am going to look up how to do it because my last method would take several hours just to upload the images.

[Frumple]

... pretty sure several image hosting sites allow for bulk uploads -- designate a folder instead of a specific picture file, that sort of thing. Getting the images themselves is via printscreen if you're being inefficient, varying screen capture software if not. Or built in screenshot features, for some games.

Definitely consider swinging a PM by one of the LPers over in Play with your Buddies -- we've got a good handful of screenshot LPs running over there that can probably point you in the right direction. Irony or someone probably wouldn't mind passing over some tips.

Use postimg for hosting. You can create multiple albums of hundred of images each, upload them in bulk, and getting the links is relatively painless. All you have to do is make a free account.

I have a photo of a bottle of liquid soap saved on my phone.
Apparently it smelled really good, so I needed to photograph it.

Well, how else would you find that kind of soap? Unless you wrote down the name or something.

Nah, it's actually a photorealistic drawering.

Ok there are two sites with postimg... Postimage.org and postimg.com

I got the right one, now time for the image taking hardware. The last one I had was greensnap or something... Greenshot.

It was "the best" last time, so I doubt any program stepped up to plate to revolutionize since then.

Wouldn't it be easier to record the screen and take screenshots from the video? I see a lot of LPs where the guy doing it complains about it being hard to catch things, and I always thought that would eliminate the problem.

[Aklyon]

While it probably does make it easier to catch, you're also adding 'How do I record this thing?' into the mess, as well as likely-sizable video files you aren't actually going to use most of.

[Lord Shonus]

That is true.

[Descan]

Obvious answer is to use a screenshot+recorder program, screen-shot most things, and take 5-second+ video of those moments where you know something is coming that will be fleeting, yeah?

Doesn't help for surprise-fleeting things, but those are pretty rare, depending on the game. :v

[Neonivek]

These will pretty much be point and clicks. I guess getting good images of death scenes might be tough.

It's... also a lot rougher on the system, if you're trying to LP on a weaker rig. I'd probably churn out a few small VLPs myself, if it didn't mean my computer igniting and burning down the surrounding countryside, all while chugging horrifically.

I sorta' tried, once. To get it set up, anyway. Nevermind actually recording, the gorram software itself chortled at my CPU with a hearty GET REKT. Not pleasant. Screenshots are nicer. Or just text, when it's possible. Those, I actually produced a few (for Incursion, years back).
