I've noticed there's no flash videos of Descent at newgrounds.com Can anybody tell me why there isn't any?

Jbomb already made one. It ends with a man plucking a fish off of his genitals.

Flash didn't Exist when Descent was in it's hayday. And most descenters never got into flash. Much easier to make a demo.

Why use flash when you can just make a demo and rip it via fraps and turn it into a music video?

Dang it.. I KNEW someone would trump me on that!
You are right, of course, it hasn't really been "common place" until about 5 years ago... bandwidth and folks getting familiar with it blah blah blah..

Flash is a terrible format to create a movie out of!
There are loads of excellent .MPGs of Descent gameplay: I have 3 or 4

I think he meant a parody of Descent in flash.

What's the point? O.o
I mean, sure, it could be funny ... but most Flash videos fail at that anyway.

If you want an Idea of what can REALLY be done with flash.. check
THIS out.
The d/ls are free. The last couple of episodes are amazing. Chapter 12 is the latest.
