I find this game incredibly fun, I built my own coaster which has a 100/100 thrill AND nausea rating.

Can you guess what it's called?

"Ipecac Perscription" is it's name. I found it very funny, and I really want to do some kind of tournament or something, but I need to know how to record my TV screen on a video and get it onto my computer in order to do it. I even put it on Yahoo Answers for crying out loud.. I have no clue how to do it, and by the way, I am using a laptop. I always use a laptop, so is there anyway to upload it from the TV to the Computer?

never heard of it. but sounds cool!

Most laptops don't accept video input... you'd have to get a USB dongle (or possibly a PCMCIA card) to add that functionality. Whichever one you buy/borrow will probably come with the required software; if not, there's always Virtualdub.

Try taking a photo of the screen. If you have a tripod and an SLR camera (or a digital point-and-shoot that's very generous with custom exposure settings), 1/60 second at f/8 with ISO 400 film. Haven't tried it myself, but I believe those were my photo teacher's recommendations. (1/30 second at f/11 should also work, but again, I haven't tried it. Your mileage may vary.)

Taking videos of the screen itself comes out in very poor quality. The camera sets the image to it's own brightness and contrast, but the laptop also has it's own, so it will end up blurry and really bright. Also, if the camera has a lower framerate than the laptop, the image will flicker black constantly between images.
