what kind of stuffty commentaries do you watch?
The Yogscast, for one.

I already knew they scripted it, though.

>Start video recording
>Play game
>Stop video recording
>Start video playback
>Think of funny and/or manly things to say at certain points
>Start audio recording
>Start video playback
>Say funny and/or manly things
>Stop audio recording
>Combine files
>GET ALL WOMEN.
