3                              PEOPLE TALK ABOUT...


The  Party  is over again, the rooms have been cleaned up, the last boozed Poles
have  been  thrown outside and we guess even 2COLORBIRD 1is sober again.  So, what
remains?

The annual fuzz of course!  So, what are these topics, one can't afford to miss,
which  aren't  left  out  in  any  swapp letter from Lappland to Timbuktu?  2"THE
MARVELLOUS(!)  LUNATICS  BALL-Office  for  Investigations in Topics, no rational
mind would spend a single penny for" 1hereby publishes an updated list of what is
fashionable these wild winter weekends...


3People talk about...

...   2MELON  DEZIGN1:   Their  2NINJA1-demo was even before it was shown on the big
screen  considered  to be the most innovative demo in 1994.  Oh, a cuddly little
cartoon-Ninja is jumping around like nuts for several minutes just to decapitate
another  bloke.   So,  why  do  people  keep  complaining about 2ODYSSEE1's simple
storyboard?

...   2OXYRON1:  The C-64 legend has reached the limits of their roots-machine and
moved  over to the AMIGA (Cheers!) - just to really stunn people with a 4 disked
demo  full  of gorgeous code, rendered gfx and extremly tasteless Techno"music".
They expected the competition to be run on a A1200 with 6MB so their 2TIME KILLER
was  originally supposed to be an onefiler - getting a little megalomaniac after
being released from 64kbyte, eh?

...   2INTEL1:   We  wonder - is the 2INTEL OUTSIDE 1slogan really enough to justify
nonsaying  demos  getting  high  rankings  in  competitions?   And did 2ANDROMEDA
deserve  their  nr.  X position for 2NEXUS 7 1without an INTEL OUTSIDE-logo in the
end?  2PENTIUM 1- thy name be done...

...  2IMPACT1:  Their 2ASCII-demo 1is widely considered to be innovative...  Oh, god
- everything but that!  Please let it be unique - else we get a massive bunch of
clones  which will make the originality of this release disappear.  Our hope for
1995:  3Don't do it again, Sam.

...   2ANDROMEDA1:   Are  they funny or disgusting, nostalgic (Mental Hangover) or
simply  embarrasing  to  give  fuckings  to  2LORD  HELMET1?  Anyway - NEXUS 7 was
brilliant (although featuring no INTEL OUTSIDE-logo).

...   2THERAPY1:   Are  some  ostrichs  and  Beavis  and Butthead so existentially
important   that   they   alone  justify  a  re-release  (almost)  of  THERAPY's
contributiondemo  to  the  PARTY  III?  We are unpatiently waiting for the Party
V...

...   2INFECT1:   How comes that a group whose members don't do nothing except for
humiliating,  offending and making fun of others manage to get ALL releases from
the  party  without  having  to  work for it?  They collected nearly 2100Mbyte 1of
stuff on their harddisk simply by waiting for people to bring it along.

...   2HITHANSEN/REDNEX1:   Seems like this mate doesn't expects much from his own
composing  abilities  or  why  did he take the best known part of 2JIMI HENDRIX1's
"HEY,  JOE!" as the refrain of his competition tune?  He could as well have done
a  conversion,  could he?  Well, at least he also inserted a part from 2THE DOORS
"LIGHT MY FIRE" in the end of "his" musical work...

...   2DOOM/II1:   This  one  thy  godly  be blessed.  Not does it give each coder
unique  inspiration  for "new" effects, it also keeps PC-freaks quite busy - and
who plays constantly doesn't get on our nerves, right?

...   2HYDRA/ANDROMEDA1:   At the PARTY II, he appeared as a well-shaved quite big
(not to say fat) young man.  At the PARTY III, he suddenly wore a massive beard.
At  the  PARTY  IV,  he still had his beard, but lost 25 kilos weight.  Again we
wait  unpatiently  for  next  years  party  - how will he look like then?  3Maybe
3wearing women's clothing?

...   2QUARTEX1:  After 2DISC1, they are another good example for the statement that
a big name doesn't help away bad work.  Their bugful 40k-intro wasn't even saved
by  the  fact  that 2FACET1's and 2SUPERNAO1's help were supposed to guarantee for a
success in the competition.  We ain't gloating, nouh!

...   2THE SOUNDCOMPETITION1:  At the PARTY III, it seemed like the organizers had
a  totally  weak  soundequipment  and  picked songs to be played at the audience
randomly.  This time it didn't seem so - it was obvious.

...   2C-LOUS1:   Their  40k-intro was the first release from them, in which 2ORIGO
doesn't  give  thousands  thanks to 2EXIDOR/ex-RAZOR 1911 1for his massive help in
coding.   Question:   Did  he for the first time manage to code something on his
own or would he simply have gotten out of memory for an extra line of text?

...   2APEX1:   Congrats, mates!  You are definately the first group to have their
contribution-intro  to  the  40k  competition  displayed  three times on the big
screen.   Well, too bad it crashed for the first two times, but - what the heck!
-  you  have  a  40k-intro  breaking  a  worldrecord  afterall!  B.t.w.:  I'd be
thankful if you could send me a bag of these delicious menthol drops, thanks!

...   2REALITY1,  2SPACEBALLS1,  etc:   We  guess these mates are the first and only
sceners  who have ever gotten a police escort for their two busses in the middle
of  the  night  when  leaving  a  computer  party.  Too bad when it's two in the
morning and no gasoline stations are opened so the friendly danish police has to
help out, eh?  3Well, thanks for the lift up home anyway!

...   2DRAGNET1:   They seem to be the first ones to have a animated stereogram in
their  40k-intro.  Too bad everyone thought those seemingly randomly moving dots
were nothing but a crash of the intro...


So  that's what people actually talk about.  If you ain't listened here, be sure
to be completely boring, folk...
