    111 secs, 720p, 25fps, 383MB.
    That surprised me.

    I'll check the fps drop in Empires tonight and actually record a round.

    I used 16:10 for ages, ripping on people who used the inferior 16:9.

    I'm sorry but with everything now recorded in 16:9, as well as aspect ratios in games (such as in Dota) being optimised for it in terms of maximum viewing area, you need to accept that 16:9 has won. Anything else is going to be inferior to it.

    There's no space above and below a 16:9 picture to put things you need on a 16:9 monitor.
    That's the whole point of 16:10.

    I know that 16:9 is the standard now and everything, but I will stick with my 16:10 monitor until it breaks thank you very much.

    I was going to do it anyway, but now I'm going to do it just in spite of Candles.

    I have 1 of each, both in that resolution. I get that you want space but I kinda just don't want the other stuff on my screen. I can put all that extra stuff in overlays that pop up when I need them to be honest, or just put them in my 2nd monitor.

    Done. 25fps, 720p.
    Dxtory + Lagarith Lossless Codec YV12
    http://youtu.be/CBJqcLLUu7U
    Original file size 16.7GB for 24:16.
    I ran out of disk space, so only half the round.
    I forgot to turn off the music from another game(osu), so take it as BGM. Though it's a bit loud.
    Laggy in the last 2~3 mins, not sure what happened.

    Also, Dxtory is damn amazing, it dropped my fps only by 10~15.

    Nice video Sgt.Security. I think I learned how to be a better rifleman from watching it. Or at least how to throw a sticky.

    Whats with that giant A being all over the place in kill messages?
    I also noticed you have that weird sticky delay as well. Did stickies get a half a second delay in throwing in some update or what the fuck?

    My thoughts exactly, without the retina bullshit. I just want higher ppi, it's not so much to ask for. If google can fit 2560x1600 on a 10" tablet, someone can give me 4k on my 30" monitor for a reasonable price.

    That "A" is the BEHR.
    My BEHR icon has been like that for years. I am not sure what fucked it up and I'd like to fix it.

    Ping caused that sticky delay.

    Well, i figured that might be the case, but i always had =<100 ping on eu, and anything form 150 to 250 on us servers, and never before i had this. Stickies always spawned when the animation ended.

    Awesome playing Security ! Much can be learned from watching you play. Quick movement between weapons, constant movement, knowing the timing of reloads and how much you can fire before reloading, knowledge of ammo available. Wild !

    Not to imply that security sucks in any way, but what you described are normal traits of anyone with decent skill and above.

    I recommend turning off steam in-game community when using dxtory as I have encountered some crashes which stopped happening after I turned it off (or any overlays, fps indicators or simply anything that is being injected into memory)

    I have also encountered graphical glitches, like textures flickering or instead of cannon/mortar/grenade impact texture just black nothing texture...restart of game seems to fix that but it may come back at any time ingame.

    Just saying what do do if you encounter any of those.
