DRINKING BEER AND TORTURE YOUR COMPUTER - OR: WHEN DOPE IS NOT ENUFF!--------------------------------------..an alcoholic story about re-animatedcamel - cadavers and disorientatedballistic missiles.................. ...by JONAH of UNICORN, the proclaimerof insanity! Sometimes you sure get the feeling ofboozing around when sitting in frontof your Amiga, exspecially if you>recheckin> out your latest stuff whichjust arrived at your post-box, and youare amazed how much shit people dareto send you...There> s, for example, anice disk with some nice stickers onit, it also sounds quite nice if putinto your machine (you know, that>shigg - shigg - shigg> - tune whichgenerates a growing feeling of panicin some users, exspecially when thedisc contains some serious worx.....),and finally the boot-intro appears...Hmm...what>s that...Ah yes, a demo-compacting...Hmm...let>s try the firstone! -At this point we interrupt theongoing process of wordfull - orgasmicliterary article-writing for a certaindiscussion about the options a gooddemo-compact should have... Probably,this discussion will never held,because the originators of all thesecompacts seem unable to find a way tochoose the desired proggies with thefine-tuning-button of a 1084-Monitor..Shame! >That should be easy!> saidSaddam and occupied Kuwait...Well, butlet>s hurry back to the main(?)-story.Yes, where did we stop...Hmm...compactdiscs...yeah, you now probably havechosen one of the demos which are selfrighteously present on this certaincompacting...Demo nummero uno is: >HOWTO BE A COMPLETE IDIOT AND CODEANOTHER FILLED-VECTOR-DEMO> by a newborn group called >M-E-R-S> ( This isnot the name of that awfull role-playing-game,it>s short for >Mary eatsradioactive spagghetti>!! (By the way,this name is (c) by JONAH KEAnamegivingindustries...Hur hur!)...Ok,the demo seems to load up correctly...After a short while, you mention somegreen-blue-white stripes flashing overyour nikotincovered monitor, while youhear the sound of your mother>s vacuumcleaner from behind..>I>ve to clean-upyour room before father comes home!>..and with this words she begins toslurp your dusty room with the cleanerup and down and left and right andeast and west and hip and hop... It>sterrible! You now see some gfx-effectson the screen, followed up by someancient bob-routines, but you hear NOSOUND! >Aaargh, Mom!> you shout, >Whymust you start cleaning my room every-time I wanna check out some demos, eh?Why must you use this motherfuckingvacuum-cleaner for your cleaning, whydon>t you use some dusters insteadwith >clean-up silently>-option? Why?WHY?? Uaaa..> You shout in agony, butyour mom seems unable to hear you be-cause of all the noise this crappycleaner produces.. .Well...After tenminutes of earache, you>re able tohear the first bleps and beeps andbumps and humps from the music of thedemo... But what>s that? Another>KYLIE MINOUGE MEETS SLAYER> - musicfrom an unknown musician... Well, thisguy will probably stay unknown forthe rest of his life..If he continuesmaking music like this...This musicsounds like...like...eerhhmm...like aengine-damaged motorboat with three90-years-old ladies in it who havedisabled their ear-phones and try totell eachother the philosophicalbackgrounds from the movie >GONE WITHTHE WIND"...Hmm, well, that>s not yourstyle of music, eh? No..But, after allyou>re inspired by the compositoryfreedom the creator of this musicprobably had...Ok! >I>m also able tomake music like this!> you mumble inyour weird-shaped moustache, and likea flash of light, you grab your Noise-Tracker-disc, pull the compacting outof your internal drive and push theother disc in it...Ok, several secondslater (it took a bit longer becauseyou forgot to remove your module-discfrom DF1:and that forces the system tospit out the >can>t assign st-00:assign failed>- error-message...) thetracker is in memory and you nowcontinue your artful work by searchingsome jerky samples for you newcomposition...Hmm, let me see...ST-21:Ahh! There>s a sample called >PUSSY-SOUND OF MOTHER THERESA>..sounds quiteinteresting, let>s try it...-At thispoint we must again interrupt thisinteresting and serious article forthe announcement of another outstan-ding discussion about the Atari ST...Did you know that 43 percent of theAtariusers are named > Oliver>? Youdidn>t know that? You see, you canlearn very much by reading thisarticle! But let>s go back...Ok, thenames of your samples you have chosenso far are: >PUSSY - SOUND OF MOTHERTHERESA>, a sample which creates avoice telling >BRAK DAK HIP HOP SHMUGSHMUG>, a bass with the name >LAMER-BASS>(sounds like a rusty garage-door)some percussions,sampled directly fromyour mother>s frying-pans , and thesound of a PATRIOT-rocket when hittingan iraqi SCUD-missile! (actually, thissound has been cleared by iraqicensors, so the sample is just 1kbytelong, but no matter, so you safememory-space!)... Ok ok ok, you nowbegin to arrange all the samples...After three hours of sweat-bringingactivity you save your masterpiece asa module and you now can watch the funsome read/write - errors bring whenpresent on your module-disc... Ha haha, what a joke, the work of threehours is nuked by a simple error...Nono, don>t resignate, you still havesome empty discs left...Yes, empty,but not formatted...Shit...What do youdo now, babe? Commit suicide? -Break!Break! Break! Again an interruptionof the running flow of words in thisentertaining piece of assembledletters... Did you know, the safestmethod of committing suicide is towear ties if you work in a print-mediafactory... Or can>t you imagine whathappens if your tie slips into aprint-roll which rotates with 6000rounds per minute?... Rrrigh t backafter the break and insane as ever!Continue : 5 4 3 2 1 : Yeah,you>ve chose to save your work as asong which doesn>t need so much discspace...Well, there>s still one thingleft...A name!
