Be Excellent To Each Other

Dear Gamesmaster/wise Beex hivemind,

Is there something special you need to do to take Screenshots from within Steam? I'm doing a review of Worms Reloaded on the PC that I need a couple for, but whenever I press "Prt Scr" and try to paste into Paint, all I get is a big load of black.

Help me out and I'll send you a FREE link to the review when it's finished. Heh.

THANK YOU.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that anything which invokes full screen OpenGL or DirectX won't let you do a Print Screen. You could try something like Fraps.

Yep, FRAPS is your chum!

Awesome, Fraps has done it. SUPER MEGA THANK YOU.

As promised, here's my review- along with the two INCREDIBLE screenshots that you helped me take.

Thanks again!

Did they give you money?

Err, no, still no monies, although I got the game for free at least. Oh dear. Are you going to tell me off for not seeking remuneration? I know should at least try, but on this occasion Denby approached me and asked me to do the review as a favour because I think he'd been left in the lurch. He said up front he could offer no money but I still said "OKAY" because I think he's alright.

Sorry if I've disappointed you Lewie...

I was just going to say congratulations if they did. I know the site has some (although probably not a lot) of money behind it.

Ha. Okay. Now I feel slightly silly. But I will totally take you up on that offer to cast an eye over my first proper pitch once I think of the right feature for the right place.

It's probably a good place to write for for free still, but I'd suggest that if he offers you work again, you ask for some money (but don't tell him I said that to you).
