Desire's Xmas 2012 by Desire
L - ((((((( - JETSETISBEK (PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THE FOLLOWING TEXT IS WRITTEN BY A COMPLETE & UTTER MORON.) ;-) *** AND NOW SOME... WELL, A LOT OF WORDS FROM OUR FINGERPAINTING PANDA: HAMMERFIST - THE KEYS. MERRY XMAS EVERYBODY! BEEN A WHILE SINCE MY LAST SCROLLER. I THINK ABOUT, OH, 21 YEARS NOW? SO, I HAVE SOME CATCHING UP TO DO. MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE. FIRST OFF, WHO'S GOING TO DATASTORM 2013? I WAS IN TIME FOR A RESERVATION, SO I FIGURE I WILL GO. HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ABLE TO ENTER A GFX COMPO - ASCII, C64 AND AMIGA IN ORDER OF LIKELIHOOD. I LEARNED FROM X 2012, THOUGH: I WILL DO ALL WORK BEFORE I ENTER THE PARTY PLACE OR NOT COMPETE. AT X I SPENT 5 HOURS PIXEL-COPYING MY PICTURE FROM MY IPAD APP TO PROJECT 1 AND STILL NEEDED HELP FROM AT LEAST 4 OTHER PEOPLE TO CONVERT THAT TO AN EXECUTABLE. THOSE PEOPLE BEING * ENDO + HYDROGEN/GLANCE * VETO/OXYRON * SKATE/+H * DAISON [WHO'S PATIENCE I KEEP TESTING WITH MY TECH-NOOB CRAP] * THANK YOU GUYS! ALSO, IF I MISSED SOMEONE, I AM ASHAMED AND SORRY AND ETERNALLY GRATEFUL ALL AT THE SAME TIME... OK, WHAT ELSE? OH RIGHT! THE "WHAT AM I DOING AS I TYPE THIS"-SECTION! WELL, I PUT ON SOME SCENE TUNES. TWO OF MY FAVORITES ARE AN UNRELEASED MOD CALLED "PANDAMONIUM" BY ANTIBODY/DESIRE AND THE SONG "UNREACHABLE" BY ACEMAN. RIGHT NOW I'M LISTENING TO A YOUTUBE COLLECTION OF CRACKTROS. GOD THOSE OLD AMIGA SCENE DAYS WERE GREAT! WHAT ELSE? AH - A FEW PERSONAL MESSAGES...: ** MAGIC/NAH-KOLOR: HEY MAN, HOW ARE YOU? SORRY FOR BEING SO BUSY LATELY. I KNOW YOU UNDERSTAND, BUT I RATHER TALK SCENE WITH YOU THAN DO ALL THIS WORK. (AND I ACTUALLY LOVE MY JOB, SO GO FIGURE!) WE'LL GET TOGETHER AGAIN SOON! ** D.J./EXOTIC: DUDE! THE SCENE NEEDS YOU! GET BACK IN, IT'LL BE FUN! SEE, I'M ACTIVE NOW, BET YOU NEVER EXPECTED THAT, EH? ALSO, I MISS YOU MAN. I'M SO BAD AT KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH MY FRIENDS, ALL OF THEM, BUT WE HAD SUCH GREAT TALKS AND SO MUCH FUN. OUR HUMOR WAS PRETTY UNIQUE AND I THINK WE COULD HATCH A HELL OF A LOT OF GREAT C64 OR AMIGA ROUTINES IF WE GIVE IT ANOTHER GO!! ** MZTA: STILL WORKING ON YOUR ASCII. I POSTED A PREVIEW ON OUR INTERNAL FACEBOOK PAGE AND SOME OF THE MEMBERS EVEN RECOGNIZED WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE :) NOW TO ADD THE LOGO AND THE REST. IT'LL BE GOOD, I PROMISE! ** EDHELLON/RESOURCE: WE HAD A NICE TALK AT X AND I'M GLAD WE'VE KEPT IN TOUCH. I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT WORKING WITH YOU, SO I HOPE YOU'LL HAVE TIME FOR OUR PROJECT SOON! ** ACEMAN: HEY, HOW HAVE YOU BEEN? WE SWAPPED A FEW MAILS AND THEN I DIDN'T REPLY FOR A WHILE, BUT WHEN I DID YOU DID THE SAME. HOPE YOU'RE OK AND AM AWAITING YOUR REPLY. ** VETO/OXYRON: ALWAYS NICE TALKING TO YOU, AND YOU'VE BEEN SUCH A GREAT HELP WHEN I HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT C64 GRAPHICS. IT'S GREAT TALKING SHOP WITH YOU! ** IKILLR, INFANT, EKG: DATASTORM!!!! ** OK, SO MUCH FOR THE MESSAGES... I GUESS I'M ABOUT DONE HERE. TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO POLUTE THE MEMORY WITH THEIR RAMBLINGS. LET'S SEE WHAT NEXT YEAR WILL BRING US ALL. THE SCENE IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE, AND YOU BET I'LL BE STAYING AS LONG AS I CAN! THE CAMERADERIE, FRIENDSHIP, TOLERANCE AND SHEER JOY I KEEP SEEING IS AMAZING. IGNORING THE FEW CHILDISH SCENE WARS, YOU ARE ALL AN AWESOME GROUP OF TALENTED AND INSPIRED PEOPLE. NEVER CHANGE THAT!! * OK, END OF SERMON... FOR GFX- AND ASCII-DISCUSSIONS, GENERAL SCENE TALK AND A CRYSTAL BALL SESSION BY THE MAGNIFICENT MADAME GIRAUD, MAIL ME: ERWINROOSJEN - GMAIL.COM.
