| Text: | HELLO EVERYBODY! WELCOME TO LDA $01, LIVE FROM THE GUERRILLA GAMES HEADQUARTERS IN AMSTERDAM. THIS IS CELTIC ON THE KEYS HERE, WRITING ANOTHER PARTY SCROLLER. FIRST SOME QUICK CREDITS: CODE BY MR.SID AND MACE, GFX BY TWOFLOWER AND CELTIC, MUSIC BY HEIN AND CHARSET BY TWOFLOWER. WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY LET ME SET THE SCENE. THIS MINI MEETING (WHICH IS THE DIRECT RESULT OF SANDER'S DATACALYPSE MEETING IN APRIL) IS TURNING OUT TO BE ENORMOUS FUN. PRESENT BESIDES ME ARE MR.SID, MR. AMMO, THE GIT, HARLEQUIN, MACE, HEIN, SANDER, THE DARK JUDGE, BERRY, AND SCOOP LEGENDS PATRICK AND THE FATMAN. WE JUST SPEND SEVERAL HOURS WATCHING DEMO IN THE GUERRILLA GAMES CINEMA HALL, AND ESPECIALLY THOSE NEW LCP DEMO ROCKED THE HOUSE. PERSONALLY I DISCOVERED I DO NOT LIKE ANTI-SQUARES, BUT THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER THING.. SEEING HOW THIS MEETING IS POPULATED BY OTHER SCENER, LEMME INVITE SOME TO WRITE SOMETHING... SO, IF I PRESS THE KEYS ON THIS HERE KEYBOARD THE CORRESPONDING LETTERS APPEAR ON THE SCREEN? COOL! THIS IS THE ARTIST FORMERLY KNOWN AS TDJ TRYING TO CONVINCE MYSELF I'M SOMEWHAT ACTIVE BY ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTING TO A REAL SCENE PRODUCTION. TONIGHT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS I WATCHED SOME C64 DEMOS, AND TO BE HONEST: THE LCP STUFF WAS A BIT OF A LET DOWN. SO MUCH FLASH BUT NO DAMN SOUL, MAKES ME WONDER WHAT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS AWAY. WITH THAT IN MIND I HEREBY DECLARE MYSELF AN ACTUAL FOCUS MEMBER AGAIN, JOINING FORCES WITH MY BRETHREN TO ONCE AGAIN SAVE THE SCENE .. OR AT LEAST DIE PRETENDING. BUT ALAS, TIME IS UP (LITERALLY, MY TRAM LEAVES IN 10 MINUTES AND IT BEING THE LAST ONE I DON'T INTEND TO MISS IT), SO LET'S PASS THIS OVER TO THE NEXT ONE. 'NUFF SAID .. ...AND SLIGHTLY LATER TWOFLOWER TAKES OVER THE KEYS. I REALLY SHOULD HAVE A SIGNATURE-STARTUP FOR THIS, BUT I REGRETTABLY DON'T. A SHAME REALLY. WHY? SCROLLTEXTS ARE THE TRUE STUFF OF LEGEND YOU KNOW. WAY BACK IN '90, I HAD READ - AND KNEW - ALL THE SCROLLTEXTS OF ALL THE DEMOS I HAD SUCCEDED IN GATHERING. THOSE WEREN'T TOO MANY. MOST OF THEM WERE FOUND AND SCROUNGED FROM MY FRIENDS OLD TURBOTAPES. I HAD NORWEGIAN CONTACT-DEMOS (AKA. THE GAMEHUNT-SERIES FROM JAZZCAT CRACKING SERVICE - STILL NOT AVAILABLE AT CSDB) FROM 1987 AND IMPORTANT MESSAGES FROM PIRATE-JAN SELLING HIS PIRATED GAMES IN DEMOS CODED BY XAKK. I KNEW THEM ALL BY HEART. THE LAST SCROLLTEXT I READ WAS FROM PUTERMAN, I GUESS IT WAS FROM ONE OF HIS SCROLLERS IN ONE OF THE WE-DEMOS. GREAT STUFF - JUST THE RIGHT MIX OF INCOMPREHENSIVE RAMBLING AND PERSONAL MESSAGES. A LOT OF CHILLING WITH THE KINGS, FOLIBA-HATS AND RANDOM BLACK-METAL LYRICS... PUTERMAN IS GOOD AT THAT. ANOTHER OF MY FAVORITE SCROLLTEXT-WRITERS OF ALL TIME IS BOB OF CENSOR. THERE'S A LOT OF 'DAAAAAAH! DUDAS!' AND NOT THAT MUCH SUBSTANCE, BUT IT WORKS FOR HIM BY SOME REASON. CHECK OUT THAT DEMO - EYESOMETHING - WHERE CENSOR AND FLT MAKE PEACE. LOT OF GOOD BOB-RAMBLING THERE. THE WONDERLAND-SERIES CAN SOMETIMES BE A BIT OF A LETDOWN IN SCROLLWRITING - TOO MUCH FOCUS ON THE EFFECTS AND THAT KIND OF SHIT. THE SEMI-SCARY SCROLLS OF HBH+MS OF PANORAMIC DESIGN ARE ALSO HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. SAVE FOR THAT, THE OLD AND LONG HORIZONSCROLLERS ALWAYS GETS ME IN A GOOD MOOD. DXYCPS AND OTHER SPRITESCROLLERS ARE MY FAVORITES. HARD TO READ, BUT BEAUTIFUL. THIS ONE IS MORE OF A NORMAL ONE. WELL - ENOUGH FOR NOW - I'LL LEAVE THE KEYS OVER TO... MACE! ...HI THERE FELLOW SCENERS, IT'S MACE HERE! I JUST FINISHED A LITTLE BIT OF CODE THAT IS INTENDED TO BE USED AS THE VERY START OF THIS DEMO. AT THIS MOMENT I AM NOT SURE WHETHER MR. SID WILL REALLY IMPLEMENT IT AND SINCE I DON'T INTENT TO WAIT TILL THE END OF THIS PARTY I WILL ONLY KNOW UNTILL THE DEMO IS RELEASED... CELTIC IS INFORMING PATRICK AND THE FATMAN ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE SCENE NOWADAYS, WITH ABOUT 1000 RELEASED EACH YEAR, SANDER IS TALKING TO TWOFLOWER ABOUT OUTSOURCING SOMETHING, HEIN IS CODING AND SO IS MR. SID. HARLEQUIN IS PIXELING, THE GIT IS WATCHING HIM, MR. AMMO IS POLISHING HIS PHONE AND BERRY IS FINDING ATARI PORN ON THE INTERNET... OR SOMETHING... THE GUERRILLA GAMES HQ IS A NICE PARTY PLACE, THOUGH I'D LIKE TO HAVE A CUP OF TEA AND THAT'S ABOUT THE ONE THING MR. SID CAN'T PROVIDE. A SANDWICH WITH PEANUTBUTTER OR ANY OF 4 BRANDS OF BEER WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM, BUT A SIMPLE CUP OF TEA JUST ISN'T ON THE MENU! I FORGIVE HIM, FOR THE CINEMA WITH THE NICE CHAIRS AND BIG SCREEN MAKE UP FOR MOST OF IT AND ABOVE ALL IT'S JUST MAGNIFICENT TO BE HERE AND PARTY WITH THE CREME-DE-LA-CREME OF THE DUTCH SCENE AND THEN SOME MORE! ...LIKE AT ANY GOOD PARTY, WE DON'T HAVE INTERNET, BUT LUCKILY BERRY DOWNLOADED THE NET TO HIS HARDDRIVE LAST NIGHT, SO WE CAN HAVE A LOOK OFFLINE! HOW SMART OF HIM... OH, THEY'RE GOING TO WATCH SOME OF THE BEST GFX OF THE LAST FEW YEARS ON THE BIG SCREEN. I'M OUTTA HERE TO HAVE A LOOK TO, SO I THROW THE KEYS OVER TO... THE GIT! AH! OMG! WTFBBQ! IT'S BEEN WHAT... 18 YEARS SINCE I TYPED MY LAST PARTY SCROLLER? :) HAVING AN AWESOME TIME HERE AT LET'S DATA! NERDING ROCKS! I FOR ONE AM ONE OF THOSE 'SCENERS' WHO IS STUCK IN THE EARLY 90'S. CHECKING CSDB WEEKLY TO SEE WHAT'S NEW BUT NEVER START DOING ANYTHING ON THE C64 FOR REAL ANYMORE... EXCEPT WHEN THERE'S ANOTHER X PARTY OR SOMETHING LIKE THIS, THEN THINGS START TO TINGLE AND.... I'M STILL A LAZY BASTARD :) DOESN'T MATTER... I TRUST ON YOU(!) TO KEEP THE SCENE ALIVE AND KICKING! YOU CAN DO IT. 8 BIT 4 EVER! I HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW PIECES OF ART ON THE BIG SCREEN TODAY AND MUST SAY I'M THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED BY THE FEEL AND ARTISTIC LEVEL ON SOME OF THE DEMOS. STUFF LIKE 'IN THE NAME OF THE SWORD' IS JUST FUCKING AWESOME! ANYWAY, HERE WE ARE. IN OUR LATE 30'S WITH SPOUSE DECLARING US INSANE FOR LISTENING TO SIDS AND WASTING TIME ON HUGE PIXELS. I THINK I WILL TRY TO ENTHOUSIAST MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER FOR SID MUSIC SO IT WILL BE 2 VS 1 IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND 8 BIT WILL RULE AGAIN IN MY HOME :) ... NOT FOR A WHILE YET THOUGH... MY DAUGHTER'S EYE-PET ON THE PS3 IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN A COMMODORE 64 JOYSTICK. FOR NOW ANYWAY.. ... .... I WILL HAVE A HEADACHE TOMORROW.... AND WILL PROBABLY PEE IN THE CAT'S LITTERBOX TONIGHT BECAUSE I WILL BE DOING SOME DRUNK SLEEP-WALKING... AND I'LL HAVE TO CLEAN THAT MESS WHEN I WAKE UP WITH MY HEADACHE.... UGH... DUVEL BEER AND WEED, A GOLDEN COMBINATION. GIT OUT! HOI, HARLEQUIN HERE... I CAN'T BELIEVE IT; I'M ACTUALLY PUTTING AN FLI PIC TOGETHER. DON'T WORRY, IT LOOKS A LOT BETTER THAN THOSE GAY-ASS HOT CHICKS WITH DRAGONS. THAT AIN'T ART, THAT'S JUST MEANINGLESS DRIVEL DESIGNED TO RAKE IN THE VOTES. FUCK VOTES! ON ANOTHER NOTE, DID YOU KNOW THAT DUVEL GROEN ACTUALLY SMAAKS A LOT BETTER THAN DUVEL ROOD. KAMME VERDER GEEN WORST SCHELE, MAAR BIER IS LEKKER EN THE GIT IS FUCKING VERVELEND MET Z'N DRONKEN ASS. GAAT IE EERST LOPEN ZEIKEN OVER MIJN VARKE, EN NOU DAT IK NIET KEN TIEPE. LUL. IK ZAL NOG 'S EEN SCROLLTEKSTIE TIEPEN, NEE NOU, DA'S LEUK. VOOR JE 'T WEET GA IK ZO SHIT TIEPEN DIE JE NIET EENS KAN LEZEN OMDAT HET IN EEN VET NARE BUITENLANDSE TAAL IS. SO NOW YOU KNOW... HMMM ZUURTJES. KRIJG ALLEMAAL DE TYFUS, IK BEN UIT VAN HIER.... MET VRIENDELIJKE GROET, HARLEQUIN (THE YO-YO GUY) SCL. PEEEEAAAACE... THANKS FOR THE TYPHUS, HARLEQUIN, I WILL BE ENJOYING THAT FOR A WHILE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WRITING, SO BY READING MY TEXT, YOU'RE RISKING TO READ ABOUT THE SAME TOPIC AGAIN. I SUPPOSE IT'S BEST YOU PRESS THE ALT W, IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T DONE THAT YET. SKIP SKIP BAD SKIP SKIP SKIP SKIP SKIP SKIP SKIP SKIP DULL SKIP SKIP SKIP LAME ASS SKIP LOTSA NOSTALGIA, SKIP SKIP BORING BLABLA SKIP SKIP FAST SCROLL FLD UP'N'DOWN SKIP SKIP AT LEAST NO MUSIC DURING ALT W PERIODS SKIP SKIP SKIP SKIP, THIS FEELS LIKE HOMEWORK SKIP SKIP SKIP, OK, I THINK I'VE TYPED ENOUGH CHARACTERS TO NOT UPSET OUR TEACHER TODAY, ADIOS SUCKERS... ALRIGHT FOLKS, CELTIC HERE AGAIN TO CLOSE THIS ONE UP AND SAY GOODBYE. HARLEQUIN HAS EXTRA LAST WORDS 'WIJ ZIJN TOFFER DAN JIJ'. AND WITH THAT SEE YOU NEXT TIME... .. . |
