1.Editorial
This is a .txt file supposed to be read with the aid of some
musical output while offline so if youre online or at the work or
something similar... STOP READING! TAKE THIS FILE HOME, PUT ON A CD
OR SOME MODs PLAYING AND RESTART READING!
Im getting tired of having to do all stuff by myself! If you like
what im doing and i know most people do! please help me! I can only do
so many things right now because i havent started university yet! In about
2 weeks ill have classes and i wont have so much time to go around and ask
everybody to please vote and if you want to subscribe or stuff like that...
And the news and releases should be delivered to me, not me searching whole
irc for them! Cammon people... Help me out here!
Thank you to all people who already said they would email me with
the latest news and stuff on thursday! Thats all i ask.
Ran out of gossip to post so i turned section 3 into the thought of
the week! BTW: Im looking for a volunteer on sending me each week the
INTRO of the week text since im more into demos then intros and am not that
much interested on new intro releases!
This is a special tribute to danish demoscene because:
1. I got 2 purple guys interviewed at once
2. SE98 releases ruled!
3. Demo of the week is winner of SE98
I was wondering if i should post the article i wrote another night
But since its my demojournal i decided to post what i felt like writing!
If you dont like it, sue me! Or even better, send your own article to me!
New releases section disapeared! I didnt got in touch with any ftp
supervisor and of about 7 emails i sent out to some musical labels only 1
did reply and it was for telling me that things are a little slow nowdays on
their label! : If i get some more time and effort to get things going ill
restart the section, until then, read the demonews part!
Just one last thing... I see that more portuguese guys are
subscribing to demojournal... I hardly distributed demojournal on portugal!
I hardly KNOW portuguese demosceners! There hardly ARE portuguese demosceners!
Anyway... Just want to say hello to the 5 portuguese guys who have subscribed!
Bigger, better, more! Read on!
2.Demonews
Psychic:
topic on pixel on monday afternoon: Thor cut his hair!
*No comments*
Portuguese demoscene report:
coders on ptnet is moving to a more stable url on .ua.pt soon!
Small gathering on mid-december is being better planed.
Maybe well get the 1st .pt demoparty on summer 1999!
Label is dead! I made the selfish decision of killing label.
It was the group i founded... I dont care... I am sorry:
Razer, is out of computer for a while!
Programmed formed a new group and is planning some big moves soon!
Best of luck to you!
Majestic Dawning still doesnt know its over but i guess hell form
that group with mc-viper they were planning to!
Iceball was delighted to finaly get away from the group...
Sulphurik was dragged by me into evolve since i kind of felt
responsible for him!
Superior wont notice the group is dead until about 4 months from now.
He never gets in touch anyway!
Psychofox asked me to organize the demoscene section of his group
so what i did was merge this idea with my other group Evolve shock+idiotboy
And know we are all happy! I think... I dont feel happy but... WTF!
Nephoo asked me to join so... We are now one big happy family of coders and
wannabe coders releasing demos with an extra file psychofoxs attached! :

the PhyMosys Magazine issue 8. This is an emag that me and the other members
of PhyMosys are making. We hope this will be released on the middle of

complained with me : but dont worry at all... coz, at least, you
can take a look at the code we put with almost every article. I promise
HERE that every article I write now, Ill translate to english. :
Contents: codingasm,c,pascal, optimizations, effects in demoscene,
virus section, image processing, opinion,
Internet recopilation and full descriptions of the best sites

his page for rules if youre interested in making games:

5.Interview of the week Psychic
OK! So this is what happened... I wanted to interview thorsten
to start with, only he was busy. I saw barbecue exiting coders and talked
with him asking for an interview! He says: sure! But by email please!
So i email him the questions... Later on that day thorsten comes to me and
states that he has some free time so... Here we go! I almost asked the very
same questions to both so you might call it:
thorsten vs barbecue: purple to the bone
PsychicS first up: introduce yourself to us all common mortals
thpurple ok. My real name is Thorsten rts, i live in rhus, the second
biggest city in Denmark. I am 21 years old.
thpurple should i write more?
PsychicS whatever you feel like we should know
thpurple ok.
PsychicS alien origins... i wonder why do i always ask about aliens...
PsychicS shoe size...
thpurple shoe size is 43 :
PsychicS 43?
thpurple I am definetely no alien
PsychicS arent you a little oversized? or am i just confusing measurements
in here?
thpurple hmm.. dont know what that is in european standards..
thpurple but there are like 10 different european standards anyway :
thpurple the size of my feet is pretty average :
PsychicS oh well... cant all be good life... what do you do on the scene?
thpurple I do graphics, and a some music every now and then
thpurple and some music, even
PsychicS is that good?
thpurple i guess its good.. do you mean good quality, or if i feel good
doing it?
PsychicS er... both...
PsychicS but since you won se98 demo with plastik i guess the first is
answered! :
thintrvw ok.. well, i like doing it, ofcause. About the quality i dont
know. Ill leave the judging of my works to others, but i like it myself.
PsychicS lol, are you a little shy to say you rule or something? :P
thintrvw i am kinda shy yes.
PsychicS what about the future?
PsychicS what do you have in mind?
thintrvw well, were working with blasphemy on a demo for tp8, and im
saving up to buy some music equipment, so i can do some more
trance, with a decent soundquality.
PsychicS hum... thats good! are you planning to win tp98 then?
thintrvw hmm.. i think the competition at tp8 will be real tough, and i
really hope so too. The stuff from assembly was really
dissapointing in my opinion.
thintrvw and i never plan to win anything, but i often hope to :
PsychicS what about your own life? what do you do for a living?
thintrvw Right now i do webdesign, but id like to do some videographics
later on.
thintrvw i work in a small company, slyde/blasphemy works as a javacoder
in the same company
PsychicS ah!
PsychicS tell me more on the danish demoscene
thintrvw the danish scene is really cozy, and we know eachother rather
well, at least the bigger groups do
thintrvw for instance i live with vipa/purple and craft/fudge, echo used
to live here too, but he moved in with his girlfriend
PsychicS hum...
PsychicS what about the new scurge? is there any?
thintrvw you mean new groups?
PsychicS yes
thintrvw at summer encounter, alien prophets did a fairly ok demo, other
groups are showing up too.
thintrvw there are a few groups like blasm and mango that have been around
for a while, and they are really improving. they might very well
do some cool productions soon.
PsychicS thats good! : well... im out of questions to ask...
PsychicS want to talk about some weird topic or smtg?
thintrvw hmm.. sure
* crazy talk on some weird topic! actually, no! just one big
missunderstanding that i dont want to see published : *
PsychicS think fast:
PsychicS first demo
thintrvw our first demo was skumle planer it won the first summer
encounter, to much surprise, as xtacy competed with thair killer
demo mighty but skumle planer featured an irresistebly charming,
singing goldfish. apparently people loved it :
PsychicS best demo
thintrvw well, our latest demo was plastik. weve gotten absoluty amazing
response on it, though imho it has a lot of flaws, but i guess thats
because i know what i wanted it to be like. others see it more objectively.
PsychicS lol
PsychicS well... want to say hi to some ppl so i can close this interview?
thintrvw well, there are so many people ive talked with, and we always
forget half of them in the greetings. sorry, we love you all equally :
PsychicS thats a very simple way to wrap things up!
PsychicS thx for your time!
PsychicS :
thintrvw np
1.tell us a little on yourself... who are you, what do you do, your alien
origins, whats your favorite fruit... stuff like that!
Im Henrik Thygesen, im 22, studying computer science at Roskilde
University dk. Ive coded demos for the last 6 years, 5 years in purple...
or so...
2.i see purple won se98 with plastik and some guys are saying its one
of the best demos ever... how do you plea?
Im quite surprised it turned out that well... I think some of the success
is because of the choice of using hires instead of the usual 320x200. It
improved picture quality alot.
Id like to use the oportunity to shout out: Please do code Win32 versions
of your demos! Thats the way you get newcommers to the scene .. I think..
3.tell us a little on the danish scene! hows it going?
Its going better than ever.. Many good groups .. the problem is lack of
newcomers.. But thats a general problem with the scene I think.
4.what about future purple plans?
We hope to release a new demo at The Party 98.. a cooperation with Blasphemy..
5.time for quick thinking:
first demo
A cracker - intro for a game .. cronologia by cascada .. etc..
best demo
Tribes and Square
computers
I am gonna get a dual celeron 450Mhz !!! :
3d
Voodoo2 rocks.
aliens
Great movies.
scene
hmmm..
dirty socks
dislikes.
6. cant think of any decent questions to pose so just say whatever you
feel like saying and lets all live happy! :
Vote at doose-chart! http://vote.ruc.dk
7. wanna say hi to mom and dad and the rest? shoot!
Hi!
8. thats it! thx for your time and sorry if i dont feel like posing lots
of questions... im shitty today!
hmm.. nothing else to do right now...
6.Demo of the week Psychic
Plastik by Purple
Code: vipa and barbecue
Graphics: thorsten and mads
Music: mystical
Winner of Summer Encounter 98 demoparty! Very nice SVGA graphics,
excellent design, nice music you even start chanting at the end of the
demo! System overide! You really have to see it to understand! Mention
to second place Louis Lane by Blasphemy which was also very good! Nice
battle for first position between those two! Size is 2.410kb which is
acceptable nowdays! IMHO this demo has the best tunnel effect ever made
The texture and the flow of it are just awesome!
If you dont know what design is, go download some summer encounter
releases!
7.Intro of the week Psychic
Shale by Chalice
Quartz, Aragorn and DiXen are responsible!
Very good feeling around it! Nice effects, keeping it clean with
a nice tune playing... Very good splines and kaleidoscope effects! The whole
intro is just very nice! chlshl.zip go get it!
8.MOD of the week Psychic
Chiba City Lights 96 by Chuck Biscuits and Basehead
Assign didnt do his homework this week! Maybe he was busy
with evoke98... Either way: This is one of my favourite tunes of all times!
A house remix of baseheads chiba city lights. The leads in there are
awesome! I specially love the break it takes on the middle of the tune,
the whole drums wrap up and you just get blown away by those brilliant leads
while the background mood is just overwhelming! This was one of the first
tunes i ever heard and i still love it!
Just put this one playing, turn off your monitor, grab some beverage
and some cookies and wonder on your life! : Dont forget to check the
unreleased extra remix at the later patterns!
9.Commercial break!

10.Charts
I add up all votes i got around and only at the end of the month
do i deduct 1 point from each votee! That should help the charts rise up
a little for starters! What im trying to do is to get fresh work on the
charts. Please vote! But vote according to what you have seen lately!
Intros votes are also appreciated since i forgot about them on issue1
and kind of never occured i was missing a category on the charts! :
There are also diskmags but i dont believe diskmags should be on
this chart simply because there arent many of them out! Ill make a remark
on the latest diskmags as they are released. Check out the demonews section!

Another night by Psychic Symphony
Here we go again... 2am, cant sleep, eating some chocolate thingies
and drinking coke! Playing Underworld at the lowest earing level possible
and looking at the full moon, the stars and those bloody old buildings.
Born slippy ends! I like Rez better so... What the hell to do?
I could test that crossfading... Nah! I dont feel like coding... Need some
music at normal level! Damn, already finished whole 6 chocolate thingies.
Coke is almost ending too... Damn, what the hell am i supposed to do? I
finished shining in the darkness yesterday at 4am! Seinfled... Shit. It was
at 1am... I could go over the demojournal... Nah! And then again... Nah!
What the hell to do... Better go code those tweaked crossfadings...
I would have to draw 2 pics with the same pal. Too much trouble! Im lazy!
I should try to make putpixel work on C. It compiles... It goes to mode13h,
why the hell wont it pixel? It always crashes! And i would have to reboot.
I dont want to reboot...
Why the hell am i writing this shit? Oh yeah... i recall... Nothing
to do! TumTiTum... Blip Blip Bleep Blip Blip... Rez rules!
I better go and do something now... Rez is over anyways... Changing
CD... Let me see...
We got FSOLs Dead Cities... Nah! I would have to higher the volume!
We got @440... The new single really rocks! But i dont feel like it!
We got Trainspottings soundtracks... NAH!
We got Prodigy...
We got old music... Hey! Mike and the mechanics! Over my shoulder
is cool... Looking back... Over my shoulder... I can see that look in your
eyes... Better get a girlfriend fast! :
What else is here while Over my shoulder plays? Er... Pulp Fiction!
Hey! I got some tapes aswell! 7, saw it last week. Pulp Fiction,
already know it by heart... Trainspotting, the tape was a rent-a-video copy
and looks shit! I got some old clips and Monthy Python aswell! But i taped
that one 3 days ago! The knights that say NI! LOL. Why did i wrote LOL?
Hum... Over my shoulder is ending... Quick... Something... Er...
Orblivion NO, Wipeout NO, Savage Garden? Whats this thing doing here?
Must have been in a very low level at the record store! ICK! I got some CDs
with some actual lyrics on the leaflet! My first CD... 100 Dance good old
days with nothing better to do... WTF is that i am hearing? Changing CD...
Ah! Nothing like sweet Chemical Brothers music... Whats this track?
Let me check... One too many mornings This tune rules! Those lyrics are
just drifting... NA NI NAIA...
Hum... : I like this... This is good! I feel better already! I think
im gonna code a little...
Im back! I was right... The crossfading is slow like hell! It takes
near 10 seconds to update just 1 screen! But we must think positive: Im not
using any assembly which would speed up major and im not using the ytable
so... Who knows... Oh goodie! I love it when i know how to make those weird
effects and cant apply them! : I feel so much better now! Let me just pass
straigt into the last music: Alive alone OH GOODIE! The story of my life
on a 5 minutes music!
Hopefully its already 3:30... maybe i can fall asleep straight away
and not wonder on stupid things like on why am i in the second year of
civil engeneering! Or why is the only girl who says she loves me living in
australia! Fuck it! Life sukz and then you die! Whatever is in between is
just a bonus... Guess i didnt hit the jackpot...
I hate these nights!

Nephooss Gravity 3 short report.
Hi! Nephoo here. I want to write a few words about another scene meeting
in Poland which was held on the last 3 days of August in Turawa near Opole.
Party was called Gravity98 or Gravity 3. I said another, because this was
the third party on that month after Quast98 and Intel Outside 5. When I
was planning to go there I hoped that this party would be cool and that the
organizers wouldnt disapoint me. After such shitty parties like Quast and
IO there finally was good scene atmosphere. The Party place was in a small
tourist village near a beautyfull lake, on one of those tourist building
complexs. Ticket prizes were low comparing to other parties. only 20PLN
The party organizers thought that there would be less people coming so the
main hall could only take around 200 people. But there was more than one
room. In another room, there was TECHNO being played 24h/per day. Some more
rooms were reserved by organizers, there was a MANGA and two sleeping rooms.
Although the rooms were still very small for the around 500 ppl that arrived!
But who cares? Weather was good and everyone was outside the party buildings.
On the first day there werent any serious competitions, only a few crazy
compos, like volleyball tournament I only saw two teams, but they were the
best, especially Lenin . In the evening there was a camp fire, but I dont
remember too much from this evening... .
Next day: Arghh... some ppl said to me that on the previous evening
they were showing on the big screen a film from Pamela Andersons honeymoon.
Uhh... why was i so drunk? : Whole normal competitions where held on the
second day. Music compo 4chn and multi on the same category was fine, there
were some good and some bad modules. I was happy that selectors didnt chose
pure TECHNO musics only. In 4k intros started age of sound, more than 3 amiga
and pc intros had sound support. But only a few intros were cool. A great
shock for all was this amiga intro I dont remember the title which was
playing on 4k intro compo but it was 64k big. Before organizers found out,
ppl had already enjoyed themselves... . On 64k competitions there was
nothing special. Only a few productions on both platforms.
VHS competition was the best . Especially the two last videos.
Generally this competition in Poland reachs very high standards. You have to
get some of this videos. Main show: demo compo. On amiga - one demo needed
PPC Power PC but wasnt so cool as I thought it would be before seeing it.
It was boring, no design, only complex scenes with thousands of faces. Blah.
Rise/TRSIMellowChips didnt need PPC and was much more better. PC demos.
Chmm... I was very dissapointed that Yoghurt and SPy from Pulse didnt release
anything on the last minute but another Pulse demo by Unreal was cool. Some
other prods were very good too. Generally, ray-tracing dominated the most of
these demos. PPL voted very strange and Pulse demo was 5th.
Ending words: Gravity was a good party, in next year Ill try not to
miss-out this meeting. There werent so much Quake maniacs like on Quast and
the party atmosphere wasnt so ANTI-PC like on IO5. PPL were happy after
this party and this is the best reward for us sceners after so boring and
lame summer parties like QUAST and IO5. Great thanks to Anadune and Amnesty.
Good work. Bye.
psychic - i had to rephrase almost half of the text so apologies to
nephoo if i missunderstood something and rephrased it wrong!

1.Editorial
This is a .txt file supposed to be read with the aid of some
musical output while offline so if youre online or at the work or
something similar... STOP READING! TAKE THIS FILE HOME, PUT ON A CD
OR SOME MODs PLAYING AND RESTART READING!
Im getting tired of having to do all stuff by myself! If you like
what im doing and i know most people do! please help me! I can only do
so many things right now because i havent started university yet! In about
2 weeks ill have classes and i wont have so much time to go around and ask
everybody to please vote and if you want to subscribe or stuff like that...
And the news and releases should be delivered to me, not me searching whole
irc for them! Cammon people... Help me out here!
Thank you to all people who already said they would email me with
the latest news and stuff on thursday! Thats all i ask.
Ran out of gossip to post so i turned section 3 into the thought of
the week! BTW: Im looking for a volunteer on sending me each week the
INTRO of the week text since im more into demos then intros and am not that
much interested on new intro releases!
This is a special tribute to danish demoscene because:
1. I got 2 purple guys interviewed at once
2. SE98 releases ruled!
3. Demo of the week is winner of SE98
I was wondering if i should post the article i wrote another night
But since its my demojournal i decided to post what i felt like writing!
If you dont like it, sue me! Or even better, send your own article to me!
New releases section disapeared! I didnt got in touch with any ftp
supervisor and of about 7 emails i sent out to some musical labels only 1
did reply and it was for telling me that things are a little slow nowdays on
their label! : If i get some more time and effort to get things going ill
restart the section, until then, read the demonews part!
Just one last thing... I see that more portuguese guys are
subscribing to demojournal... I hardly distributed demojournal on portugal!
I hardly KNOW portuguese demosceners! There hardly ARE portuguese demosceners!
Anyway... Just want to say hello to the 5 portuguese guys who have subscribed!
Bigger, better, more! Read on!
2.Demonews
Psychic:
topic on pixel on monday afternoon: Thor cut his hair!
*No comments*
Portuguese demoscene report:
coders on ptnet is moving to a more stable url on .ua.pt soon!
Small gathering on mid-december is being better planed.
Maybe well get the 1st .pt demoparty on summer 1999!
Label is dead! I made the selfish decision of killing label.
It was the group i founded... I dont care... I am sorry:
Razer, is out of computer for a while!
Programmed formed a new group and is planning some big moves soon!
Best of luck to you!
Majestic Dawning still doesnt know its over but i guess hell form
that group with mc-viper they were planning to!
Iceball was delighted to finaly get away from the group...
Sulphurik was dragged by me into evolve since i kind of felt
responsible for him!
Superior wont notice the group is dead until about 4 months from now.
He never gets in touch anyway!
Psychofox asked me to organize the demoscene section of his group
so what i did was merge this idea with my other group Evolve shock+idiotboy
And know we are all happy! I think... I dont feel happy but... WTF!
Nephoo asked me to join so... We are now one big happy family of coders and
wannabe coders releasing demos with an extra file psychofoxs attached! :
Hugi12 is out! Go get it! http://home.pages.de/hugidownload/

Dave:

the PhyMosys Magazine issue 8. This is an emag that me and the other members
of PhyMosys are making. We hope this will be released on the middle of
september. The only bad point you will find in this emag is that the 99 of
the articles are written in plain Spanish now, I see a lot of people
complained with me : but dont worry at all... coz, at least, you
can take a look at the code we put with almost every article. I promise
HERE that every article I write now, Ill translate to english. :
Contents: codingasm,c,pascal, optimizations, effects in demoscene,
virus section, image processing, opinion,
Internet recopilation and full descriptions of the best sites
About Euskal Party? heck! Hugi 12 will include the results of the
party so you can take a look in. What was there? well, Pc Demo, Amiga demo,
Windows-Demo, 64kb intro 4kb intro both on PC and Amiga,
GFX 2d 3d, Mods 4chn multichannel, Fast 2d, Fast Music,
the Human Demo really one of da cool things there... , Animations...
... and also some weird wild compos breaking disks !!! D
Also, my friend Aktiv is organizing a game compo, you can visit
his page for rules if youre interested in making games:
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Foothills/4377/index.html

5.Interview of the week Psychic
OK! So this is what happened... I wanted to interview thorsten
to start with, only he was busy. I saw barbecue exiting coders and talked
with him asking for an interview! He says: sure! But by email please!
So i email him the questions... Later on that day thorsten comes to me and
states that he has some free time so... Here we go! I almost asked the very
same questions to both so you might call it:
thorsten vs barbecue: purple to the bone
PsychicS first up: introduce yourself to us all common mortals
thpurple ok. My real name is Thorsten rts, i live in rhus, the second
biggest city in Denmark. I am 21 years old.
thpurple should i write more?
PsychicS whatever you feel like we should know
thpurple ok.
PsychicS alien origins... i wonder why do i always ask about aliens...
PsychicS shoe size...
thpurple shoe size is 43 :
PsychicS 43?
thpurple I am definetely no alien
PsychicS arent you a little oversized? or am i just confusing measurements
in here?
thpurple hmm.. dont know what that is in european standards..
thpurple but there are like 10 different european standards anyway :
thpurple the size of my feet is pretty average :
PsychicS oh well... cant all be good life... what do you do on the scene?
thpurple I do graphics, and a some music every now and then
thpurple and some music, even
PsychicS is that good?
thpurple i guess its good.. do you mean good quality, or if i feel good
doing it?
PsychicS er... both...
PsychicS but since you won se98 demo with plastik i guess the first is
answered! :
thintrvw ok.. well, i like doing it, ofcause. About the quality i dont
know. Ill leave the judging of my works to others, but i like it myself.
PsychicS lol, are you a little shy to say you rule or something? :P
thintrvw i am kinda shy yes.
PsychicS what about the future?
PsychicS what do you have in mind?
thintrvw well, were working with blasphemy on a demo for tp8, and im
saving up to buy some music equipment, so i can do some more
trance, with a decent soundquality.
PsychicS hum... thats good! are you planning to win tp98 then?
thintrvw hmm.. i think the competition at tp8 will be real tough, and i
really hope so too. The stuff from assembly was really
dissapointing in my opinion.
thintrvw and i never plan to win anything, but i often hope to :
PsychicS what about your own life? what do you do for a living?
thintrvw Right now i do webdesign, but id like to do some videographics
later on.
thintrvw i work in a small company, slyde/blasphemy works as a javacoder
in the same company
PsychicS ah!
PsychicS tell me more on the danish demoscene
thintrvw the danish scene is really cozy, and we know eachother rather
well, at least the bigger groups do
thintrvw for instance i live with vipa/purple and craft/fudge, echo used
to live here too, but he moved in with his girlfriend
PsychicS hum...
PsychicS what about the new scurge? is there any?
thintrvw you mean new groups?
PsychicS yes
thintrvw at summer encounter, alien prophets did a fairly ok demo, other
groups are showing up too.
thintrvw there are a few groups like blasm and mango that have been around
for a while, and they are really improving. they might very well
do some cool productions soon.
PsychicS thats good! : well... im out of questions to ask...
PsychicS want to talk about some weird topic or smtg?
thintrvw hmm.. sure
* crazy talk on some weird topic! actually, no! just one big
missunderstanding that i dont want to see published : *
PsychicS think fast:
PsychicS first demo
thintrvw our first demo was skumle planer it won the first summer
encounter, to much surprise, as xtacy competed with thair killer
demo mighty but skumle planer featured an irresistebly charming,
singing goldfish. apparently people loved it :
PsychicS best demo
thintrvw well, our latest demo was plastik. weve gotten absoluty amazing
response on it, though imho it has a lot of flaws, but i guess thats
because i know what i wanted it to be like. others see it more objectively.
PsychicS lol
PsychicS well... want to say hi to some ppl so i can close this interview?
thintrvw well, there are so many people ive talked with, and we always
forget half of them in the greetings. sorry, we love you all equally :
PsychicS thats a very simple way to wrap things up!
PsychicS thx for your time!
PsychicS :
thintrvw np
1.tell us a little on yourself... who are you, what do you do, your alien
origins, whats your favorite fruit... stuff like that!
Im Henrik Thygesen, im 22, studying computer science at Roskilde
University dk. Ive coded demos for the last 6 years, 5 years in purple...
or so...
2.i see purple won se98 with plastik and some guys are saying its one
of the best demos ever... how do you plea?
Im quite surprised it turned out that well... I think some of the success
is because of the choice of using hires instead of the usual 320x200. It
improved picture quality alot.
Id like to use the oportunity to shout out: Please do code Win32 versions
of your demos! Thats the way you get newcommers to the scene .. I think..
3.tell us a little on the danish scene! hows it going?
Its going better than ever.. Many good groups .. the problem is lack of
newcomers.. But thats a general problem with the scene I think.
4.what about future purple plans?
We hope to release a new demo at The Party 98.. a cooperation with Blasphemy..
5.time for quick thinking:
first demo
A cracker - intro for a game .. cronologia by cascada .. etc..
best demo
Tribes and Square
computers
I am gonna get a dual celeron 450Mhz !!! :
3d
Voodoo2 rocks.
aliens
Great movies.
scene
hmmm..
dirty socks
dislikes.
6. cant think of any decent questions to pose so just say whatever you
feel like saying and lets all live happy! :
Vote at doose-chart! http://vote.ruc.dk
7. wanna say hi to mom and dad and the rest? shoot!
Hi!
8. thats it! thx for your time and sorry if i dont feel like posing lots
of questions... im shitty today!
hmm.. nothing else to do right now...
6.Demo of the week Psychic
Plastik by Purple
Code: vipa and barbecue
Graphics: thorsten and mads
Music: mystical
Winner of Summer Encounter 98 demoparty! Very nice SVGA graphics,
excellent design, nice music you even start chanting at the end of the
demo! System overide! You really have to see it to understand! Mention
to second place Louis Lane by Blasphemy which was also very good! Nice
battle for first position between those two! Size is 2.410kb which is
acceptable nowdays! IMHO this demo has the best tunnel effect ever made
The texture and the flow of it are just awesome!
If you dont know what design is, go download some summer encounter
releases!
7.Intro of the week Psychic
Shale by Chalice
Quartz, Aragorn and DiXen are responsible!
Very good feeling around it! Nice effects, keeping it clean with
a nice tune playing... Very good splines and kaleidoscope effects! The whole
intro is just very nice! chlshl.zip go get it!
8.MOD of the week Psychic
Chiba City Lights 96 by Chuck Biscuits and Basehead
Assign didnt do his homework this week! Maybe he was busy
with evoke98... Either way: This is one of my favourite tunes of all times!
A house remix of baseheads chiba city lights. The leads in there are
awesome! I specially love the break it takes on the middle of the tune,
the whole drums wrap up and you just get blown away by those brilliant leads
while the background mood is just overwhelming! This was one of the first
tunes i ever heard and i still love it!
Just put this one playing, turn off your monitor, grab some beverage
and some cookies and wonder on your life! : Dont forget to check the
unreleased extra remix at the later patterns!
9.Commercial break!

10.Charts
I add up all votes i got around and only at the end of the month
do i deduct 1 point from each votee! That should help the charts rise up
a little for starters! What im trying to do is to get fresh work on the
charts. Please vote! But vote according to what you have seen lately!
Intros votes are also appreciated since i forgot about them on issue1
and kind of never occured i was missing a category on the charts! :
There are also diskmags but i dont believe diskmags should be on
this chart simply because there arent many of them out! Ill make a remark
on the latest diskmags as they are released. Check out the demonews section!

Another night by Psychic Symphony
Here we go again... 2am, cant sleep, eating some chocolate thingies
and drinking coke! Playing Underworld at the lowest earing level possible
and looking at the full moon, the stars and those bloody old buildings.
Born slippy ends! I like Rez better so... What the hell to do?
I could test that crossfading... Nah! I dont feel like coding... Need some
music at normal level! Damn, already finished whole 6 chocolate thingies.
Coke is almost ending too... Damn, what the hell am i supposed to do? I
finished shining in the darkness yesterday at 4am! Seinfled... Shit. It was
at 1am... I could go over the demojournal... Nah! And then again... Nah!
What the hell to do... Better go code those tweaked crossfadings...
I would have to draw 2 pics with the same pal. Too much trouble! Im lazy!
I should try to make putpixel work on C. It compiles... It goes to mode13h,
why the hell wont it pixel? It always crashes! And i would have to reboot.
I dont want to reboot...
Why the hell am i writing this shit? Oh yeah... i recall... Nothing
to do! TumTiTum... Blip Blip Bleep Blip Blip... Rez rules!
I better go and do something now... Rez is over anyways... Changing
CD... Let me see...
We got FSOLs Dead Cities... Nah! I would have to higher the volume!
We got @440... The new single really rocks! But i dont feel like it!
We got Trainspottings soundtracks... NAH!
We got Prodigy...
We got old music... Hey! Mike and the mechanics! Over my shoulder
is cool... Looking back... Over my shoulder... I can see that look in your
eyes... Better get a girlfriend fast! :
What else is here while Over my shoulder plays? Er... Pulp Fiction!
Hey! I got some tapes aswell! 7, saw it last week. Pulp Fiction,
already know it by heart... Trainspotting, the tape was a rent-a-video copy
and looks shit! I got some old clips and Monthy Python aswell! But i taped
that one 3 days ago! The knights that say NI! LOL. Why did i wrote LOL?
Hum... Over my shoulder is ending... Quick... Something... Er...
Orblivion NO, Wipeout NO, Savage Garden? Whats this thing doing here?
Must have been in a very low level at the record store! ICK! I got some CDs
with some actual lyrics on the leaflet! My first CD... 100 Dance good old
days with nothing better to do... WTF is that i am hearing? Changing CD...
Ah! Nothing like sweet Chemical Brothers music... Whats this track?
Let me check... One too many mornings This tune rules! Those lyrics are
just drifting... NA NI NAIA...
Hum... : I like this... This is good! I feel better already! I think
im gonna code a little...
Im back! I was right... The crossfading is slow like hell! It takes
near 10 seconds to update just 1 screen! But we must think positive: Im not
using any assembly which would speed up major and im not using the ytable
so... Who knows... Oh goodie! I love it when i know how to make those weird
effects and cant apply them! : I feel so much better now! Let me just pass
straigt into the last music: Alive alone OH GOODIE! The story of my life
on a 5 minutes music!
Hopefully its already 3:30... maybe i can fall asleep straight away
and not wonder on stupid things like on why am i in the second year of
civil engeneering! Or why is the only girl who says she loves me living in
australia! Fuck it! Life sukz and then you die! Whatever is in between is
just a bonus... Guess i didnt hit the jackpot...
I hate these nights!

Nephooss Gravity 3 short report.
Hi! Nephoo here. I want to write a few words about another scene meeting
in Poland which was held on the last 3 days of August in Turawa near Opole.
Party was called Gravity98 or Gravity 3. I said another, because this was
the third party on that month after Quast98 and Intel Outside 5. When I
was planning to go there I hoped that this party would be cool and that the
organizers wouldnt disapoint me. After such shitty parties like Quast and
IO there finally was good scene atmosphere. The Party place was in a small
tourist village near a beautyfull lake, on one of those tourist building
complexs. Ticket prizes were low comparing to other parties. only 20PLN
The party organizers thought that there would be less people coming so the
main hall could only take around 200 people. But there was more than one
room. In another room, there was TECHNO being played 24h/per day. Some more
rooms were reserved by organizers, there was a MANGA and two sleeping rooms.
Although the rooms were still very small for the around 500 ppl that arrived!
But who cares? Weather was good and everyone was outside the party buildings.
On the first day there werent any serious competitions, only a few crazy
compos, like volleyball tournament I only saw two teams, but they were the
best, especially Lenin . In the evening there was a camp fire, but I dont
remember too much from this evening... .
Next day: Arghh... some ppl said to me that on the previous evening
they were showing on the big screen a film from Pamela Andersons honeymoon.
Uhh... why was i so drunk? : Whole normal competitions where held on the
second day. Music compo 4chn and multi on the same category was fine, there
were some good and some bad modules. I was happy that selectors didnt chose
pure TECHNO musics only. In 4k intros started age of sound, more than 3 amiga
and pc intros had sound support. But only a few intros were cool. A great
shock for all was this amiga intro I dont remember the title which was
playing on 4k intro compo but it was 64k big. Before organizers found out,
ppl had already enjoyed themselves... . On 64k competitions there was
nothing special. Only a few productions on both platforms.
VHS competition was the best . Especially the two last videos.
Generally this competition in Poland reachs very high standards. You have to
get some of this videos. Main show: demo compo. On amiga - one demo needed
PPC Power PC but wasnt so cool as I thought it would be before seeing it.
It was boring, no design, only complex scenes with thousands of faces. Blah.
Rise/TRSIMellowChips didnt need PPC and was much more better. PC demos.
Chmm... I was very dissapointed that Yoghurt and SPy from Pulse didnt release
anything on the last minute but another Pulse demo by Unreal was cool. Some
other prods were very good too. Generally, ray-tracing dominated the most of
these demos. PPL voted very strange and Pulse demo was 5th.
Ending words: Gravity was a good party, in next year Ill try not to
miss-out this meeting. There werent so much Quake maniacs like on Quast and
the party atmosphere wasnt so ANTI-PC like on IO5. PPL were happy after
this party and this is the best reward for us sceners after so boring and
lame summer parties like QUAST and IO5. Great thanks to Anadune and Amnesty.
Good work. Bye.
