Released live at TUM*04. Links on the PAiN website or links to scene.org might not work (yet). Have fun! People at TUM seem to like the mag :-)

Nice One!
And it's cool to see Stravaganza's Arise in main demo chart :D

very very very good graphics in this mag ;)))
\o/ new pain
just finished reading it (conveniently, i'm home sick :). another swell issue, i hope the momentum continues to the next issue. a breakpoint release would rock, and i dug the live party report. truck's and dominei's articles were great as well. and most of the others. :) a little more objective on the chart comments next time?
unlock: WHY release a mag without any decent articles?
then why don't you submit one instead of complaining and whining? (the only thing you seem to have a gift for, as usual...)
Dipswitch: I hate you for that powerpuff thing! I'll kick your filthy german ass, someday :)

some hints:
- big blocks of white text aren't pleasant to read.
- use small paragraphs.
- use different colours to emphasize words here and there. (although this might go against your "yikes, we're dark!" scheme :)
- use consistent formatting in the interviews by different editors.
haven't really checked out the content yet, so i'll spare the thumb for later.

first time i think its realistic charts =D and good contest... yeee!!!111
Respect! Very nice, glad to see PAiN back in action!
Good issue!
quality
Good quality scene mag, but I found this issue really boring I'm sorry to say.
Very nice. I liked this one :)
Dominei; you know i love you, but i found some flaws in your article. dont EVER NEVER mention that you are a coder. I use that when im tired of someone (female), and it works.....if it dont work in the beginning, just go to the details, and then you can read in her eyes: "He`s not worth it". ;)

"Demos Are" by Gargaj was a good article.
Oh yeah, Dominei - thanks for the dating tips. From now on I'll wait until at least the 3rd date before suggesting the Tiger Game!
good one this.
reed: yeh i know what you mean. we lacked time to proofread/enhance things properly in some articles.. we'll possibly maybe release a final version later on.. we'll see what the staff says when they come back from tum.
cool enough
nice :)
Nice issue !
gots some really interesting interviews
ACE!
STOP VOTING ON ME PEOPLE.
damn.
damn.
Some interesting articles his time.
THIS QUALITY-STUFF HITS PAINFUL IN OUR ASSES..
great as usual ;D
great as usual ;D
great mag as always.
good interviews with interesting people
fantastic mag, superb, interesting as always, fresh, good job, people! keep on with that! :)
It is a shame i didn't get to reading pain issues sooner, because i thought of it as some marginal diskmag in the past.
Now I see I was completely wrong, there is a whole lot of articles on actual themes. The writing style of all authors is very readable and fresh. You can feel the life breathing inside this mag.

@ Megadelux Yes, issue 0304 was far better imho, but I only see you here slamming out your shit against nearly everything that comes out! Does that make you happy?
ghandy, no most of the people who has commented here has been a part in creating it or has close mates who was. personally i dont think the people who are behind this mag really cares if anyone says this is good/bad, they obviously must know that the mag sucks from a readers view as they probably even read it (mostly) thro themselves.
megadelux: It's difficult to make a magazine that focuses on such a narrow range of topics as the demoscene still worth reading after so many years in which demoscene magazines were released and in which more or less all aspects of the demoscene have already been discussed in articles. At least this issue of Pain contains one interesting article ("Demos Are").
swapping is still alive! email me your home address and i'll send you a floppy with pageturner on it! \o/
A great issue again. Not all articles interested me, but there was enough very good stuff in it, and nothing disturbed me. But an extra double applause ("clap calp") for dipswitch's articles. Liked them alot. I had preferred if the "EP" article had appeared in next Hugi, but I suppose I cannot have everything, hmm?
Next Hugi will feature an article sized 100 kbytes written by EP, which is about the discussion on his article "How To Save The Demo Scene". About a third of it is related to dipswitch's comments.
Nice interviews, especially Blaizer and Hitchhikr. Truck's diary was a fun read as well. All in all a fine mag.
Good stuff
nice articles and interviews, as usual. too bad it crashed my machine 3 times during reading .. still, thumbs up for the content.
well... yeh.
This was the first mag since ages which could keep me entertained for some time. Especially nice interviews! Waiting for the next issue!
thank you for reviving my belief in diskmags!
Fucking Americans, what's the scene coming to. I swear. Profusely and with vigor.
ROTFL @ stefan & adok
This R0X; i love the interview with Blaizer...
Also, the graphics by Delilah are great! Italy rules!

A lot of preety interesting articles and interviews there. Pain is flying these days!
The interface seems to buggy here... The down menu clicking area is bellow than the text displayed, but works at last :)))
heh, seems we forgot to move the active area when moving the text :) will be fixed with the next issue of course. thanks for notifying us (you seem to be the only one using a mouse).
pain is cool \o/
Pain is The shit !
background/contrast/font issues makes it a real PAIN to read, which is after all the most important aspect of a diskmag, so no thumb up...
the menu system still annoys the hell out of me..
@ Megadelux: Well, of course I do care what the people think about my articles. Some others in the PAiN team gave that up and don't care anymore as all the time from some specific people only negative comments rushed in. I can understand that at some point you tend not to care about that anymore.
Not that some readers are hypercritical. No, it makes the impression to me that they just enjoy speaking & writing badly about a production.
If you have a fantastic idea for a trip that no reader has explored before. Don't hesitate, write it down and send it! And if there's no decent mag that would deserve it, open your own one instead!
@Darkus: You could install winuae and read JP#13 instead! ;-)))))))
The menu system is strange for the first hour you use it and then it's okay.

Cool issue again. Extra nice tunes.
ghandy: make a PC version and I`ll support it.. ?? :P
Nice one, as usual. Keep it up ppl!
THANXXXX, when is the next one coming out???
Wot no variety articles? :o]
I had some great time reading this issue :-) and i can say that i liked almost every article (except that "tea dating" article...).
So, big thumbs up from me ;-)

very good introducing-music, makes me feel oldschool again. thumbs up for the whole magazine.
i also liked the mag, allthough i had to wait ages for it. i was very anxious if my music would do any good for the mag :) ..
and well, i haven't seen any real comment about the music yet :( ..
should i support PAiN with another tune? :)

yeah you should, your music rocks!
was that a rhetorical question?
of COURSE you should :D
of COURSE you should :D
articles rulez, interviews rulez, tunes rulez and Delilah's cute elf rulez even more :))
i still cant get used to the "gameplay" of the interface : it's not that funny to make my mouse always do the contrary of what i want her to do :/ that's the only good point of Hugi, Chris Dragan's fine diskmag engine, though shamelessly raped by dumb and dumber and dumberer texts by Adok and EP...

Well Dip, there a difference between hating and not loving, you know.
A big shade.
This is a shaded spirit which is needed to read my articles.
Well being angry, not polite or whatever else than being clever show me and everybody out there that you are not : when you get so quickly angry that means you can't control yourself so we can induce you are violent so dangerous...
Happy new year.

EP, previously known as Edw of Darkness: I really wonder what you're doing at this point.
Do you want a war between some people working for Hugi and some others for PAiN?
Let the readers better decide what they prefer. If you have private problems with Dipswitch or one of his articles, write him a private email. There's no need (and it's less interesting for the rest) to make that in a public way, but that's only my humble opinion.
Give the readers something entertaining to read, some pleasing graphics & nice tune to listen to and it will be easy for you to convince them that your mag is the better one. Reply articles are okay but only interesting for less people. Happy new year!

imho there's no logical meaning to compare hugi & pain ... those are 2 complementary mags that's it.long life to pain & long life to hugi so :)
pain 12/04 exit process is really cool btw.

It's possible to write interesting reply articles - as long as you quote properly and answer properly.
I personally would be eager to see it ;)

okay, and now please move this discussion away from the _product comments_. mkay?
Very nice one.
Pretty nice mag with a couple of articles worth reading again. It was better than last Hugi but still very mediocre.
ps: when Random told you about the films he liked, he enumerated 4 different things. We call Brazil - Brazilia (it's not that horrible as you might see). But still we are freaking weird people!
gargaj: me trying to tell people what demos are - "Well, that's... no, it's... but ... phh... or just... Ohh, go f*ck yourself!"

the art is very nice, the music is very good too but there should be an option to select the screen resolution (doesn't look good on TFTs) and it could have been a bit better structured.
lupin: better structured how if i may ask.. O_o
ok i took a look at it again, the structure is good and i now understand the menu, i was just wondering why the screen is fading when i click in the text area :)
But i noticed that the font looks quite blury (i first thought this is because of my TFT but its the same in windowed mode). And maybe texture filtering could have been turned on in the ending scene...

windowed mode causes the picture to be scaled up with bilinear if you resize the window so no wonder the text is blurry.
the outro is softrendered so texture filtering needs to be written i guess :)

ok, then its worth a thumb up :)
This issue is a very good one.
A clear build-up and good content.
GFX, SFX: smooth to the core!!!
Thanks for this production.
