Yeah. I'm checking up on my threads on a daily basis and also putting some D3 plugs in some of other people's threads. If you check out the thread on gamespot, it got a really positive response!

Aww... come on. They were condescending first. I didn't say anything confrontational in any of the other threads because the people were generally nice.
They think I'm some newbie who's never seen the world and found an old video game on the shelf (his first ever) and now he's creaming himself over how good it is. They think that I think this crappy video game is good because it's the only one I know. If I show some backbone, they might give it a second thought.
They said "I've never heard of it so it must suck." Someone's gotta say, "I've never heard of you so you must suck" or something like that. =)
But yeah.. screenshots is a good idea.

BFDD, that "leetness" is what I like about the D3 community. I recognize this game as the most difficult FPS-type game ever made, and I think that the people who get very good at it deserve to be acknowledged as such. Descent is certainly better than any modern FPS, hands down.
Suncho, you should tell them what you REALLY think of Counterstrike. "Predictable, derivative trash." I'd like to see how they handle a Pyro .

Yea, after I went through the forum list you posted, I noticed that was the only thread. Still, let them be the ones to throw cheap shots. Post the games you play, and why you think D3 is better than them all.
Screenshots! Lets get together with some people in AnotherBox or Moria, and have a few people in Observer take screenies for kills and general mayhem. Then we can put'em all together, grab the best of them, and paste the link in your posts. Or as your signature. Or whatever. Screenies of Anotherbox will have people saying "Hell, 5 years old and looks that good?". If we show them screenies from my machine, they're really gonna be surprised! (My graphics are sooo much better than the default.)

For an interesting show, you could get some MOD screenies from hyperspace too. Find some of the most complex geometrical levels out there and post screenshots. Try some pyromania screenshots; most people are more familiar with D2 than D3, and the sense of familiarity with some of the weapons would be enticing.

I've been playing with recording videos of D3 lately,got more into it after i read this post but just as i found a satisfying proccess* i burned a channell on my soundcard....i'd be happy to help anyone who would want to try...
*(TV-out from D3 box to capture card on on other box, first encoded with mjpeg so that my crappy second box can keep up with the encoding, and then mpeg4'd, seems to work better than divx for D3 kind of graphics)
A great tool for recording in windows is IUVCR.
For linux, mencoder is the only thing this linuxnewb has used.

Polaris is too big for a video..the observer would spend 1/2 the time looking for fights.
The Core is too broken up, tho' it's one of the better looking default levels. Need something with a little more room, and Napalm. A ship on fire is a beutiful sight, especially a Feeni!
Which reminds me, dont' record Feeni's, or anyone with 56k, we don't need people laughing at the skippage.

As far as I can remember, there's not much to those levels. Same texture throughout, and slightly dim. This nullifies their architecture. (I know they were built barebone on purpose) They are also oversized for a video capture attempt. (Tho' I don't think I've seen the Bree town?)
Bill The Cat would be perfect. Small yet roomy (Good manuverability in the areas, but the level on a whole is small enough that it would not take hours to get a dozen good fights in.), aesthetically lit, architectually aesthetic, and has Napalm! No other level can match all those points.
