TEN MEGABYTES?
That's just insane, heh...

10 MB for a Diskmag ? you suck.
Great issue! Spent whole night reading it. Lots of nice articles and party reports, decent background music (Genox rocks!) and funny charts. Indeed worth downloading the whole 10Mb zip file.
its still fun to read so stfup =)
yee
Eh, ok. They broke the old size-record from shine #8, that was about 7Mb.
So, what do you get for 10Mb: 4 tunes, 2 of them are MP3s, plus a PAiN issue, with an improved engine and some nice articles to read (2 of them dealing with pouet =)). Unlock says in the edito, that it's the best issue ever, but imho that's not really true. :)
Anyway, I personally would have liked a 'light version', but heck... It's ok.

pain rulez. period.
Well executed, the size is a laugh but it's alledgedly a "once-because-we-celebrate-something" thing.
Most of the stuff was quite readeable, but this PAiN crashed on me now and then. Nothing a restart could fix, but a bit odd.

this is the best PAiN magazine ever!
Nice music and cool interface.
Worth the download!

this just proves that pain is so much better than hugi, but.. I guess you all knew that ...
'whining about the size of a release is definitely insane.'
Dear fred, FYI, there are still people (like me) with a 56k connection. And for those hopeless ones, size still matters. Otherwise I would not care much. I already said this to unlock on IRC.

10megs *is* a bit too much, but for a celebratition issue it's okay. who am I to complain anyway?.. these guys know what's good for us.
YES!
ah! :)
fred: Actually I downloaded it TWICE because the rar files gave me a CRC-(t)error, so I downloaded again, this time the big package. So much to my patience. :))
Yeah! cool :)
10 megas is a little too much but who cares?
We don't have 28k anymore :)

Maybe it's a good diskmag but I won't download it as it will be too long for my humble 56k modem...
The many sceners who don't have a broadband connection will probably do the same and eventually Pain will lose some potential readers. But hey, it seems that people without a broadband connection aren't just 3l33t enough...

Of course, for some of us getting broadband or even ISDN is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE. Not even a question of money, though I guess if I had a couple of million lying around I could persuade someone to install it.
Living in the countryside sucks. So do downloads over 5mb or something, unless they have a good reason to be. Which, maybe, being issue 50 or something, is a good reason.

"It's not bigger than an average demo" <- it would be more funny and less tragic if it wasn't the godawful truth Dixan =(
keep pain alive.
don't vote me on charts you idiots!
I'll plame the low number of voters for that. I guess pain stuff should improve their marketing about voting for next issues :-)

Yeah, unlock!
great great great job. I just spent 30 minutes to have a first look and I am impressed. You put a much a much of work in it and I especially liked the review of all the PAiN issues. I'm glad I could do a tune for this PAiN. Best PAiN ever I think.

Pain simply rulez.
Yeah, dixan, your tune really rocks. It's a shame,it didn't make it to the compo. Keep on this work, I think you've got a huge talent. When I read the mag, I just pressed the '4' over and over again..
ehm..nice music but not much interesting articles to read..
Not a bad issue as far as PC mags go.
Hmm, way too big a download (especially since I had to dl it twice because the first time the zip was b0rken for some reason) but the musics are nice. I especially like the third track. Somehow it reminds me of a movie soundtrack.
I like Hugi's colourful interface better than PAiN's but it's a nice thing that the engine supports ANSI now. ANSI is a great form of art and people shouldn't let it die.
I have only read the first article section so I won't comment on the texts.

what do we expect from diskmags nowadays ??
to have the same role than in the past ?? definitely not .. online content has off course replaced diskmags for that ..
still diskmags aren't dead, they're just released less often, with fewer articles, but it's still nice to read party reports, point of view articles and demo tutorials presented in a diskmag view.. no website can offer this feeling of a new edition, with those new articles and online content most of the time disapears after some time while diskmags are still zipped on my hd.
and please stop those religion wars pain vs hugi vs shine..
it's definitely better to have multiple diskmags..
oh yes Andry, i should hurry up finishing my articles for the next edition =)
