New Staff Members for Hugi needed

category: general [glöplog]
I will quit my demoscene related activities by the end of the current year. For this reason, I am looking for new staff members for the Hugi Magazine who could help Magic continue the magazine.

I am currently writing "Hugi Editor's Guide", which will be a gentle introduction for new editors. This guide will show them how to create a new issue based on the archive of an existing issue. You can find the current version of Hugi Editor's Guide here:

http://www.hugi.scene.org/hugi-editor-guide/

For any questions, you can contact me via email at any time. I will try to respond as quickly as possible. My email address is included in the imprint of Hugi (just check out the current issue).

You know one can never quit, do you?

Hugi#38 - Friendship forever!

Credits
---------
Edited by Magic of Nah-Kolor.
Music by BITS.
Artwork by Gustavlor/Bumcivilian (probably some hypersexualised woman with slightly boss eyes in a tasteful periwinkle theme).

Headlines
-------------

Editorial: "Persistance is key." - Magic shares his time-honoured techniques of harassing demosceners for interviews and content acquisition, including the thrice-daily IRC direct message technique, combined with super-friendly passive aggressive technique, peppered with extroverted self-delusion.

Partyzone: Retirement home racist Adok puts down his spatial awareness Mensa test for a macrosecond to share his thoughts on parties he's never been to, to an audience that doesn't want to listen, coupled with low res hall shots stolen from slengpung.

Business: bitnaughty joins us for the first time this issue for an emotionally driven appeal for coders to freely give their time to contribute to a ill-founded business idea of developing a shader driven demo for networked Psion organisers in Haskell. "Of course once we've got the ball rolling we can add a PayPal to our page and do outreach on sites like Buzzfeed and Digg!".

Printscreen club: Magic takes a bunch of screenshots from demos, name-drops Smash and leaves 8 words of slack-jawed awe comments for you to page down through rapidly.

Technology: A joint article detailing 3DMark scores of two year old graphics cards and comparing them to Intel GMA chipsets with a concluding text full of technical inaccuracies.

Interview: We interview Knoeki, the demoscener generally tolerated for reasons unkown, in which he replies completely with 1920x1800 jpegs of pony pictures because it's REALLY FUNNY.

Would you like to contribute to Hugi?

Hugi are looking for more deluded individuals to contribute to our diskmag. Do you have crippling autism or assburgers? Maybe overconfidence in your ability to socialise - or perhaps you're just a good old racist, by all means fill in a Mensa test and attach a business card and ICQ Adok on 01001337.

rc55: thats seriously funny :-))

hugi (or any other magazine) is always fun to read. Looking forward to the next edition, and adok: do pay a visit at this space once in a while, you can check out any time you like but you can never leave.

maybe magic can bribe some polish people with 3rd hand hardware?!
Didn't adok want to leave the scene last year? Quite unsuccessfully I might add.

By the way - congratulations on obtaining your medical degree, Adok.

I wont deny that I have enjoyed bits of Hugi over the years. I didn't really put any attention into the articles that didn't interest me, so I pretty much skipped any political posturing or fluffy articles. The artwork has been good at points, as has the music.

It's a shame that Adok has used his position as editor to spout political ideology or unashamedly flaunt his supposed intellectual prowess. If Magic picked up on social cues that sometimes his behavior is infuriating that would also help too.

I love the idea of diskmags, even if they are questionably obsolete. I think if anyone really has the inclination to write to the demoscene audience seriously they should probably get it published on displayhack.

That said if Zine or Pain returned, I'd be very excited too.

displayhack? last article was 6 months ago, previous one 6 before that.


what i'd love is for all the old 'lost' diskmag articles of value (and probably not for completeness) to be brought in the modern age, probably in web form.
(from my perspective particularly the coding ones)

unfortunately i guess a lot of these used custom authoring systems/viewers.

Canopy: I know, but Hugi hasn't had much done for a while either so...
