Just like make GIFs. record your vidya to show to all your little internet buddies and complain when the colors come out wrong.


http://exkode.com/dxtory-features-en.html
Dickstory is fraps but good. Useful for recording audio or longer format video. Check /rs/.


http://dropbox.com
http://puu.sh
http://mega.co.nz
Free hosting for game demos. Dropbox hosts html, which means js  or unity webplayer games run fine. Puush links directly, which works for .swf or .love files.

http://hastebin.com
Don't try to post your shit code to 4chan directly, use a pastebin. hastebin will autodetect language for syntax highlighting, which is nice.

All free shit will either be labeled CC-NOPE meaning not actually "free" per se and will probably slam you with a C&D, CC-BY-NC, meaning it cannot be used commercially, or CC0 meaning do whatever the fuck you want. Note that I am using these as umbrella licenses and they may or may not actually apply.
