Probably. I've never tried to, though, I've been using something else for that.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

You can take screenshots with the free version of FRAPS.

Tip 21: Keep an eye on your screenshot size. .PNG and High quality .JPEG images might look prettier but when it takes ages for images to load it can ruin the LP for people who don't have Uber connections. Compress your images. 200-300KB is a good size in my eyes, more if you don't have a lot of images.  (could be an expansion on 10 actually)

Tip 22: Try to space updates so you don't have like three to four or more updates on a single page.  Again, bandwidth reasons, probably not as important if your more text based then screenshot.

22. (BUMP) Put some effort into adding flavour to your updates. It reads much better.

23.Make sure you can keep up your schedule. While everybody could have an emergency, just daily updating can be a pain in the ass..

23.5: Schedule? What schedule? Don't stress and overexert yourself only to keep up with some schedule. It's bad for you and lowers the quality of your LP. Your viewers will probably understand if you deliver a day or two later.

23.5b I absolutely agree. Schedule never leads to anything good, unless you draw a loose one, where you have lots of free time.

24) Video edting! use it, and learn it! Nobody wants to sit and watch you go through Boo castle just to get an extra coin. Speeding up some segments allows viewers to get a good idea of what you just spent the last hour doing.

25) Mic quality is relegated to the backburner, but still, good mic quality makes happy viewers.

25b) There are no corrallies to Rule 25.
