I took a few screenshots and it saved em in .tga format. Is there a way to
save in .jpg? Or how do I open .tga files?

Not that I'm aware of.

Install GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program available at
http://www.gimp.org

You can convert to jpg or whatever you like.

You happen to know of a batch image file format conversion utility for
Windows? I have something like 10GB of screenshots that I'd all like
to compress to .jpg at once.

Indeed
Irfanview has a wicked amount of features, regarding it's freeware and only
some 100s of kb in size.

Got it. I've used IrfanView before, it's a nice program. I had Photoshop
right here handy so I reinstalled it. Don't know why I didn't think of that
earlier. It does batch too. What's up with the shots being saved in an
obscure format?!?! You'd think they would be JPG!

TGA isn't obscure. It preserves the original image quality, whereas JPG is
compressed and therefore introduces a loss of quality. I think most saved
screenshots in games are either TGA or BMP.
