I dont think I will do a story till I get PCM13. I haven't had a long lasting story since I did the Ryder Hesjedal story so I was thinking start another story with Hesjedal but with PCM 14 
Well that's my plan anyway. Or ill do it with Navardauskas

Man i so want to start a story i have made a few yet they last hardly anything. I dont no what to do who can give me some tips on things that make it easier and most importantly quicker lol.
Thing which annoys me alot is converting from PNG to JPG it takes like 10 minutes just doing that.
Really, a good converter should make a good 10 or 20 photos in a few seconds, maybe you should browse around for a better one. |

I think he does it manually.. Download a converter, you can use irfanView. |

Yup, GreenShot is absolutely amazing! Thanks again, Shonak. 
Not sure about continuing Marko story, as I finally got some motivation for it. I already have few great ideas on my mind, have all the files and PCM versions I need, now I only do need to start writing. There's one little problem, tho - I am afraid this great motivation for Trek will slowly die and I'd stop my best story so far...
Will definitely wait a bit to see what's going to happen and decide.

As we're talking of dead stories: Jack O'Connor probably won't be continued either. Mainly because i have PCM 13 now, but i don't want to start him from scratch or play so much PCM 12.

Oh. my. god. Thanks for introducing me to GreenShot! It's amazing, you can crop screenshots while taking them  This takes it to a whole new level! That'll be very useful if I ever start another story

I discovered this (a similar program) already a few months ago, I thought most did? Helps to speed up screenshot taking loads. |

The problem is rather that I have too many ideas But I really want it to be a long-lasting quality story, so I want to get it right. I have at least three different scenarios on the table and I'm not sure which one to pick, and I'm not even sure whether to do it now or wait for PCM14 ... So many decisions

Oh my gosh! Greenshot is amazing. I've been using Lightshot which is very similar, which also uploads to Imgur directly, but the history thing on Greenshot is super easy because I dont have to alt-Tab out of the game while I get the screen as my laptop sometimes cant handle that.
Only wish you didn't have the game in windowed mode. The older games dont automatically fit your screen.

Been using BulkImageConverter for a long time, but based on what Cunego said about cropping the screens, I need to get Greenshot.

10 Story of the Month Nominations and 3 New Story of the Month Nominations.
So, I'm going to try something new and less time consuming on my behalf.
Thanks everybody for a hectic month of story making!

Some really unique ideas for PCM14 story, but too unique to last long. Or no, we'll see.

I have several ideas. Not sure if I want to share them though Not sure what to do with Fabio. I need a new player key and Focus Support have been no help at all. I can convert the db to PCM 14 right? That's a thing? Might even convert to PCM 12 even for a small while. I really don't want to stop it, so...

Why? Bauers and Marko were really unique, iirc.

Not sure there are many new things to really do. I think a lot's been done.
