I've been working on getting my Super Sup Check title, because I have little else to do.  I downloaded a computer video making program;  I actually downloaded two of them, and the first one wouldn't both pick up my mic and record sound from the game at the same time because my "Stereo Mix" kept resetting itself to 22% volume, and I couldn't get it to stay higher.  I finally gave up on it and am trying out a different recording program now.  The freeware program (that wouldn't work for me) was CamStudio, and the free-trial program that costs money eventually is Camtasia.  Camtasia is nice, but not free :/.

I tried making a Civ 4 video, but it was a bit of a disaster.  I might try watching it to see where I can make improvements in my presentation skills; it was a completely unplanned, poorly executed, spontaneous thing, but when you're doing something for personal edification rather than for money it's nice to have a baseline from which to measure yourself.  We'll call this failure that baseline.  It's probably not as bad as I think it is, but my best laid plans went awry, as those often do, and I found myself Chariot rushing a dude with spearmen and phalanxes (which are a special unit with a bonus vs. chariots).
