Since when did being a gamerlamer become accepted in the demoscene? I see everybody talking about playing games on his Wii etc. And the same people complained about gamers at demoparties just months ago.

Let me tell you a secret: Playing a game on a console or a PC is still the same!

Playing games on a wii? Nah.

Since demoscene started with videogame (at least according to this http://tomaes.32x.de/text/faq.php#2.3. ) ? Come on, every console had a topic there. Maybe sceners (that i'm not) do play videogames like "normal" humans ( normalz ?? OH NOES!!1!) and that they need to see what can being done before releasing kick-ass console demos ?

Let me tell you a secret: troll

blasty: Is that a real hardware mod, or part of one of the "lets break console in the face of some fanboys" thingies..?

Silkcut: You did not own a computer when the demoscene was still associated with the cracking scene. (Neither did I)

Just because i have a wii at home, doesn't make me a gamerlamer. I don't go to demo parties just to play Quake 4 or Counterstrike or whatever. That is my definition of a gamerlamer.

Ok, maybe you are >40..

@Dandelion: I never told that, I'm far too young, even to know the old cracking scene.

Dandelion, where do you cross the line? Should a "real" "pure" scener also not read books, watch movies or attend concerts?

And the race for the most clueless post of 2007 is on!

this is what happens when you don't read enough:

Dandelion: that's a real hardware mod. Debug interface of the DVD controller hooked up to the PC for some babbling. ;-)

i have never played any games in my life.
LEET BRAINZ HURT!

I think real sceners should not eat foie gras

i stopped taking hard drugs are few month ago. i dont even smoke much anymore.

Yesterday I've realised that Wii really has no shaders. DOF in Wii Sports is "fake"... they just use a lower res mipmap on the textures. Looks good enough for me.

xernobyl: DOF is a matter of getting a "Z texture" and some render to textures operations, you don't really need shaders for that.

In fact PS1.1 was nothing more than "let's use some kind of asm language for setting up the pixel pipeline's register combiners" and (if we assume that the Wii is a Gamecube 1.5, hardware wise) the GC's GPU has a lot of those, so it's purely a matter of definition. What's true is that the thing doesn't have any vertex shading capabilities.

Speaking of gaming:

Back on the C64, guess what lots of demo-/crackingsceners DID with all those cracked games. Hint: They didn't just look at the intro.

But yeah, we're the demoscene, we aren't allowed to have things like cheap fun.

we should play kkrieger all day long!

I play Call of Duty 2 online and Arkanoid on my Atari ST.
Oh teh lame me. :'(

kb: You are remembering it all wrong. There were groups of people called legalizers who ripped the intros from the games and spread them separetely, so people could look at the intros without breaking the law and without being tempted to play the games.

LEGALIZErs?



ahahahaha :)

I know how DOF works in theory, but I never tried to do it. I also know that there isn't much (nothing?) that you can do with PS1.1 that you can't do with the fixed pipeline.
I have Gamecube's official SDK here...

kb_: next time you play Wii Sports boxing try to notice that in the replays the only thing out of focus is a plane outside the ring. Not sure if that's the same on the other games. I need component cables :(

Dandelion: You're ruining the cracktros that way! Everyone knows that the games are part of the cracktro!

dandelion, you clearly haven't played Wii yet.

And you're an idiot.
