Is it possible to auto record every single game I play in TF2?
If so how?

You mean like without starting to record a demo in console?

I'm not sure about auto recording, but u could get FRAPS, which can record full-screen apps. just remember to start FRAPS in the background before starting TF2, then all you have to do is press F9 to toggle recording or not. the downside is it produces massive video files even for short clips. so a whole game... might take up like the whole of ur drive.

I don't really want to use fraps. If there's a command to record a demo there must be a couple of lines that can be added to the cfg file to start it automatically.

You can also check out Xfire's recording system. I haven't paid attention to it so I don't know if its worthwhile or not.

You could script in the cfg  to start recording to a file named Lastgame or something.  I can't remember if it would overwrite the file each time it executed, or if it would error out, or maybe just autoassign a numberal after each execution....might be worth a try. 

If it overwrote you would just have to be careful that anything you wanted saved gets manually moved or renamed.
