FreeScreenCast offers free screencast recording

The ScreenCast Recorder application is incredibly easy to use. The image above shows pretty much all of your options. You can change the screen area to record, but you can't change your file types, frame rates, or anything else.
When you're done you can save your files, but good luck figuring out where they're stored. That's because the utility hides them away as TMP files in your local settings folder. The easiest way to find a video is to click the preview button and examine the file properties in your media player of choice. If you want to edit your videos, that's pretty much what you'll have to do. But once you've edited your videos, you probably won't be able to upload them to the FreeScreenCast web site because you need to use the ScreenCast Recorder to upload your files.
While FreeScreenCast's recorder lacks some of the features you'll find in programs like CamStudio, Camtasia, or Jing, the audio and video quality is significantly better than what you'll get using an online tool like Screencast-o-matic.
Once your files are uploaded to the FreeScreenCast site you can share the link or embed the videos in your website. Check out a quick sample we put together after the jump.
Update: FreeScreenCast's Jason Askew tells us that a future release may include the ability to export WMV files.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
