I have this idea. It's simple, might be fun, might be lame.
Think of it as competitive players reaching out to everyone playing the game. If video are included with the game, or better yet referenced to internet videos, whatever.
If we got competitive players to do short lighthearted segments about how THEY individually play the game, mash it up, it might give newer players the inspiration they need to play the game more and not just drop it because they have to face us in pubs.
Think Bitey's tutorial videos. While I played NS1, I didn't play NS2 until release (I didnt play video games at all for about 8 years between), but I was able to watch his videos, give them the hour I needed, and I was able to get right out into pubs and practice my understanding of the system. Granted tracking just took praaactice and I'm still bad in my book
Everyone boasts about how great the ns community is, well let's show our face and talk about this. I for one know I can talk to my webcam for 2 minutes while fading, throw in some images of the keyboard mouse movement on top and in synch. Well I can't edit that together, but I'm willing to take them.
I just think getting our faces out wherever might be good for the games longevity and in turn expansion of the competitive scene
This wasn't exactly well thought out, but I wanted to put the idea out here.
If you're interested in doing segments, drop a line on this thread so we can see if we have enough interest in it
