I am too lazy to google and research this but my question is what devices/programs are required if I wanted to record a video game I am playing on my TV.

For example my PS2 is just connected with composite A/V cables into input 1 on my TV, do I need some sort of half way box and an tuner card for my PC? I would like to capture sound as well.

Aka you have some baller move or high score and you want to capture it via the PC?

Exactly what articzap said, a tuner card is a good investment. Desktop or Laptop? When I get a free moment I’ll post up a couple good prices.

I know of a guy who records his computer games through his TiVO.

But thats the complete opposite of what you want, so just ignore me Cuz.
