The downside to the upside

Oh yeah baby, I can find the cloud for any silver lining XD

As I said before, I figured out that I was able to record stuff of my Gamecube, which led to my first LoZ fanvid (and I'm going to be pimping it till the cows come home :P ). Now, while this is great, because I can get sharp footage myself, without having to worry about somebody's logo all over it (that and I would press the A button really fast when they were talking, which got rid of the speech boxes that were blocking all the action), there is one drawback.

See, in the software, there is a little preview screen, so you can see what you're recording. Size wise, I'd say it's somewhere around three inches square. Now, while this is fine for recording cutscenes, it completely throws of my depth perception during the actual fighting >.o

For example, when I was recording some stuff off of Wind Waker, during the final battle with Ganondorf, I lost all but two hearts! I never did that badly the first time I fought him! Fearing that I had suddenly started sucking, I hooked the Cube up to the TV to re-fight the battle, only to beat Ganondorf and only loosing two hearts in the process!

All I can assume is that playing on a smaller screen sucks. It gave me a taste for what PSP owners must go through all the time (badum ching!)
