Learning how to let's play

I've been trying to produce a decent Let's Play of a video game for the last few years, but I got stuck because cellphone cameras on screens do not a great thing make. Plus, you can't film during daylight. (See some of my pictures on my Tumblr for how bad things can look, especially Fatal Frame IV.)

I broke down and bought a setup (cost me less than $100 USD) to record from the console. There are some downsides (I have to record my commentary track on my phone), but it works.
( Nitty-gritty details )
