The ability to capture screenshots and video has been added to the Gear VR. I show how to use it, provide some sample recordings, and talk about its drawbacks along with a few different ways to record audio. Here is the 3.5mm male-to-male stereo cable I mention in the video - http://amzn.to/1LC9wVl
Gear VR: Profiles, Friends, and What They're Lacking
The ability to create a profile and add friends has been released on the Gear VR. I show off how to set up a profile, add friends, and speak on how I think the whole system can be improved.

New YouTube Channel: Pure Gameplay
"No commentary. No watermarks. Just the game."
That's the motto of my new YouTube channel, Pure Gameplay. When I want to find footage of a game, too often is it a tedious process of clicking a video and either finding out it has (often annoying) commentary or an obnoxious watermark stamped over it. I know there are others like me who just want pure, unedited game footage, and I wanted to make it easy for those people to find it. I record all of my gameplay footage anyway, just in case I want to make something with it, like a review or a montage or whatever else I could possibly want in the future, and instead of cluttering up my main channel, Charles Alan Ratliff, with tons of uploads that won't get very many views anyway, I made a separate destination for them. The channel also acts as a public backup of all my footage, just in case something happens to my recordings offline.
It'll be a while before I go around advertising the channel, but I wanted to make a post as I will be embedding videos here. I don't expect the channel to ever become big or get many views, as seemingly most people do want commentary and such over their game footage, but I'll continuously update it over time with my recordings, both old and new.

On November 22nd, two days after the launch of the Gear VR, we hosted a "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" party that consisted of seven total players, four of whom have never used a virtual reality device before. We ended up playing for three hours. I filmed some of the night and wanted to share.
