Good men (and women, yes!) have said good things. Important things.

This is the time to reflect, to learn and to be inspired. This is the time to quote words, that changed the world:

"What, me worry?"
Alfred E. Neuman

"I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe -- I believe what I believe is right."
George W. Bush

"Sorry but I can't stand it anymore : C64 demo were uglly slow with awfull music. That was fun and probably state of the art 15 years ago !
It's all over now ... face it ! I was an atari scener a decade ago and i admit that demo were uglly and boring but at the time that was the best computers could do. To a certain extend I really wonder if some sceners stay in the oldschool trip because that's the only thing they know and the only thing they have left in the scene.

I guess it would be hard for the old stars to restart learning new things and rank low at parties. Let say the whole oldshool trip is a confortable way to stay at the same place in all the ways."

Sorry, gotta love that one :)

"As excited as I am to be here with the president, I am appalled to be surrounded by the liberal media that is destroying America, with the exception of Fox News. Fox News gives you both sides of every story: the president's side, and the vice president's side."

anyhow, since I got that first quote wrong, let's try again :-)

When asked by an anthropologist what the Indians called America before the white men came, an Indian said simply “Ours.”

And though I am a committed Christian, I believe that everyone has the right to their own religion, be you Hindu, Jewish or Muslim. I believe there are infinite paths to accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior.


Quote:
The greatest thing about this man (George W. Bush) is he's steady. You know where he stands. He believes the same thing Wednesday that he believed on Monday, no matter what happened Tuesday.


Quote:
I stand by this man (Bush) because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message: that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound -- with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world.


Quote:
But, listen, let's review the rules. Here's how it works: the president makes decisions. He's the decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Just put 'em through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration. You know - fiction!

Ok Nytrik quote though it's not the same for eveyrone.

I mean,. I don't still admire 8bit/16bit demos because it's supposed to be oldschool, but because it doesn't look ugly for everyone. For some reason when some people stare at oldschool gfx or Mode0 wide pixels for example they feel like wishing to throw up. I don't feel like this. For example, I still like to see Doom with the naked texels, other people just can't stand it, but it doesn't feel like ugly in my soul (except if they are not perspective correct :), maybe they feel computerized but they are not ugly here. I can stare at old things and not feel like vomiting. I can see the beauty of how pixels blend together in some very old screens. But this is not pretendious because it's oldschool, I just don't feel any uglyness here.

About the excuse argument. Not that some may not stay in oldschool for various reasons. But everyone does what he can best. There is some true art on the C64 though and the beauty is how you manipulate those few pixels and colors and even if you don't look at this one, still some C64 or AtariSt images look great in my eyes. Few colors and low resolutions don't make me feel like vomiting, at least in well drawn pictures, the opposite I could say because it's so amazing how perfectly they all blend together like a mosaic and still remain beatiful as a whole!

hyde: i know youve been away for a while, so let me fill you in.
to do a pouet-friendly demoscene production today it should: run on a 5 year old pc at 1920x1200, fit in 4k, precalc instantly, use no dlls, be either completely original and different from anything you or anyone else has ever done before or be totally derivative and look like virtually every other demo since 1999 to keep that "demo feeling" (either is cool, but for god's sake dont get any ideas from anywhere else, that makes you a ripper), take 2 years to make, be completely filled with totally different content, plus as many screenflashes and so on as you can to keep it from being "boring" but at the same time make it all the same idea so it's "consistent", look like a cracktro from 1993 and have a chiptune to appeal to one set of people and have a load of glowy flashiness to appeal to another, come with a helpline for people to ring up and bitch at you over if it doesnt work on their system..
oh, and come with a full money back guarantee for anyone who wasnt 100% satisfied. (maybe you could refund their broadband rental and hourly wages for the minute or so it took to download it and the 3 minutes to watch it.)

welcome to pouet's version of the demoscene in 2007, hope you enjoy your stay.

But, it's not for the bling and it's not for the cream and it's not for the scream when I step on the scene. No, none of these things mean nothing to me. It ain't nothing to see. It ain't nothing to be. It's for all the loved ones I got on my team. In this game can't nobody feel you pain. If you ain't making your change they quick to flush you down the drain. Better get off your ass. Because, the world keep turning. Passes every hour glass and the world keeps turning. In this game don't nobody know your know name. They'll buy a gun it will get you done and the world will go on the same. Don't get lost in the jungle. Because, the world keeps turning. You'll get stumbled and crumbled and the world keeps turning. - Sketchy Waze

Just because I shake your hand don't mean I trust you. - Mr. Shadow
