I am wanting to begin making videos from my gaming experiences, but the video editing software that comes pre-installed on most computers these days is pretty fail. Does anybody know of any good, free, video editing software that I can download?

This is excellent: http://kates-video-toolkit.download-971-42644.programsbase.com/
I use mine on XP OS because XP is so much more stable than later Windows. But it should be OK on W7 provided you don't try to run other programs at the same time.
You might also find a need for this: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/VideoInspector.htm
And this will be useful if you don't already have it: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/k_lite_mega_codec_pack.html
Plus, I will suggest Hypercam which is a screen capture program. It needs a bit of fiddling to get the right codec combinations, but it is an excellent means of capturing clips from DVDs and online, as well as gaming: http://www.hyperionics.com/ (Ignore Hypersnap. It's good, but costs money and that defeats the object!)
Good luck.

Maybe the GoPro Studio software - I think it's free to use even if you don't have a camera.
IF... as in ... IF you have acces to a Mac, then iMovie is great editing tool as well. It gets the job done and in a very user friendly way. I use it for my vids.
Hey OP,
http://www.blender.org/
Blender is meant to be the best or one of the best open source editing software.
It looks a bit intimidating but apparently is easy to learn the basics.
If you look at the features page you can see it has video editing.
I've just downloaded it and will start using it shortly.
For game capture try https://obsproject.com/
It uses flash to capture the game and the recorded footage is a little flat compared to commercial products but its so lite on your system requirements there is not much fps drop.
And it can stream very well to twitch if you have the connection to do so.
These are Open Source so are considered safe and have no trial or paid for upgrade options.
There is no T+C's that stops you from using these commercialy either.
