HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
I put together a quick-and-dirty program for anyone who wants to do a lot of demo recording that creates unique filenames for every demo you record. You can download it from here.
It's as simple to use as I could make it. Simply run the "DemoTimestamper.exe" file and it will watch for any demos you record and add a timestamp as soon as they're over. So for example, "MyDemo.cohdemo" will turn into "MyDemo 2012-10-06 07.42.57.cohdemo" instead.
In the game, you can simply make a macro to record demos by typing in, for example, /macro "Demo" demorecord MyDemo which will create a button to start recording.
And that's it. I included the source code in the .zip file in case anyone wants to mess around with it, and if you hit any problems, let me know and see what I can do. Happy filming, folks!
