- demo Amstrad CPC From Scratch by Vanity [web]
- I have to deliver a message from Optimus. Since he has deliberately forgotten his password he can't comment. But for such an amazing surprise he broke the rules and asked me to write something for him instead:
"Finally, a CPC demo that is actually a real demo!!! What we ever needed. I thought I was watching a good quality prod like the ones on the C64. Multipart/trackmo style with good design/gfx/transitions, enough parts, overscan, good effects! Now it paid well I didn't had the CRTC 0 but the 1 instead. Never expected to see such a demo on CPC. Is it maybe time to raise the standards?" - rulezadded on the 2009-08-05 00:17:09

- Wonderful shinny env-mapped objects that look so crystal clear yet we don't see frequently in demos maybe because the demoscene might think it's too kitsch. You make me want to watch the 1995 era DOS demos full of env-mapped and phong objects but here with acceleration they can be sooooo much better.

- I watched it twice. This is my favorite kind of demos. Several impressive and clean effects and a nice presentation.

- Choices:
1)
- Wanna go to the club?
- No, too loud music, better go to the cafeteria where we can talk.
2)
- Do you want to go to the pub for a drink?
- No, I'd like to go to the cinema to see a movie.
3)
- Do you want to go to the pub?
- They'be smoking.
- The disco?
- They'be smoking.
- The cafeteria?
- They'be smoking.
- My home?
- You'be smoking.
Pub is for drinking and eating.
Club is for loud music and dancing.
Cinema is for watching a movie.
There is no such a thing as a smokery or smoketeria :)
Smoking is a secondary habit that goes with everything. You drink your coffee and smoke. You drink alcohol and smoke. You play online games on a netcafe and smoke. You read your newspaper and smoke. You fuck your girlfriend and then smoke on the bed. You just sit there waiting for the bus and smoke.
It doesn't have it's own place. Would the choice dialogues above be like: "Do you want to go to the smokery?", "No, I don't smoke, let's better go to the cinema". It's not the same thing. It's not a primary choice with it's own special places that people go there just for that. It's not going to work this way. - isokadded on the 2009-08-03 12:59:10

- Ok, maybe alcohol and attitudes/violence is a bigger problem in some northern countries. Here in my place it's an uncommon thing but I hear that in places like UK people get drunken and become violent to other people all the time and it's common to see a lot of bad attitude near these places.
Ok, maybe I get a bit crazy about it but I see some smokers also reacting to the new law in a Zamanfou way. Smoking is such a problem in greece as alcohol might be in other european countries. There is some kind of attitude from some smokers here, like "I wanna do what I want, whether you like it or not, I don't give a rats ass!". When I can't understand the habit of smoking I can't get into the smoker's mentality. It seems a useless habits that also do so much harm to me (especially in greece where it's so common and trendy). I deliberately tried to get into smoking several times in my life but never liked it, my throat burned, it didn't taste anything, I couldn't understand what the hell is this? Maybe I should insist burning my throat till it doesn't feel it?
Look, I am not in the smoker's mentality, I am in the "can't understand why the fuck people smoke" mentality, plus this thing is plague here and I am suffering wherever I go (and it's not like a psychological suffering (oh gays kissing, I feel uneasy) or suffering from after effects (oh he got drunk and beat the crap of people). This one is direct suffering from the substance of smoking alone.
If I can ever understand this thing and can get into smoker's mentality I will be able to see it from another perspective. Else our arguments will never reach a point.
I only have to agree with the ban thing. I think they will ban more and more and more till all hell breaks loose, revolutions happening and the cycle starts again. I don't know what to say about this. I'd say I personally don't care till I will start to care because they banned something I enjoy. I will be hapilly waiting for your procedural graphics then :) - isokadded on the 2009-07-25 00:53:08

- I find smoking far more annoyinh, disgusting and pointless than anything else. There is a big difference than the rest of the examples. I can't breath, it smells really bad, there is a fog of smoke in pubs that hurt my eyes and throat, I get into the pub and wish to leave the place as soon as I can but it doesn't happen just because half of my friends are smokers and I can't just leave the place or send my friends outside in the cold. And that's only because of the most pointless habit in the world, I mean you ignite a paper cylinder and inhale and exhale the smoke, I could never understand that! Of course I'd have to be addicted to it to understand it but I never did. I have a really bad feeling about this and here in greece a lot of people were smoking and I saw it also like a stupid trend, so it seemed more stupid that a meaningless habit (I mean, igniting a cylinder and eating the smoke, I know the description sounds crazy, but wtf? It's like there comes a trend that you are cool if you eat shit and everybody else is eating shit because it's cool).
In fact I would prefer that someone farted constantly in my face than being in a crowded place that half of the people smoke heavily. Other things are not so characteristically annoying, alcohol doesn't smell so bad, car emmisions cannot be avoided and are necessary and in open places and they don't feel so bad, all other examples given here are not as annoying and senseless as smoking. I am happy that it's finally banned in greece.
When I read the arguments of some smokers I see an addicted person behind them who tries to defy logic, like ok you get car emmisions and food poisonings so what's your problem with smoking in your face? Ahh,. it's not about the cancer, it's just that it's more annoying and disgusting than all other counter-examples and yet more of a useless trend here and you couldn't avoid it anywhere you go. - rulezadded on the 2009-07-24 02:09:51
