 ** What console commands/variables are there?
 You can get a list of variables by entering |cvarlist| on the console ([How do I open the console?]).  |cmdlist| will give you a list of available commands.  An annotated version of that output can be found at the [Nexuiz wiki (http://alientrap.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.ConsoleCommands)].

 ** How do i watch/record demos?
-After the menu redesign in Nexuiz 2.4 there is no demo menu anymore for the time being.  To watch a demo type |ply <demos/name>| in the console ([How do I open the console?]).
-To automaticly record a demo each time you play enable the option |Demo recording| in the |Settings / Misc| menu.  Of if you just want to record some matches open the console and type |rec <demos/name>| before playing.  That is before starting a game or connecting to a server.  The demo file will then be stored in |Nexuiz/data/demos/<name>.dem| (on Windows) or |~/.nexuiz/data/demos/<name>.dem| (on Linux, Mac).
+Demos are recordings of matches that you have played. To automaticly record a demo each time you play enable the option |Record demos while playing| in the |Settings / Demos| menu. Or if you just want to record some matches open the console and type |rec <demos/name>| before playing. That is before starting a game or connecting to a server. The demo file will then be stored in |Nexuiz/data/demos/<name>.dem| (on Windows) or |~/.nexuiz/data/demos/<name>.dem| (on Linux, Mac).
 If you downloaded a demo, copy it to |Nexuiz/data/demos/<name>.dem| (on Linux, Mac, Windows) or |~/.nexuiz/data/demos/<name>.dem| (on Linux, Mac).  You might have to create this directory if you have never recorded a demo before.
-You can list all your demo files by typing |dem| on the console.  Some useful key bindings for viewing demos are listed [here (http://www.alientrap.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=357#357)].  A simple way to automatically record demos can be found [here (http://www.alientrap.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=90)]
