• demo Windows Faux Processing by Bon^2 [web]
• Nice bunnies artwork. Overally the goal, which I assume was retro/oldschool demo feel, has been achieved, with additional bonus near the end.
  
  Of course it would be better if it would run on some exotic/old motorola cpu'd hardware, but I understand this was rather out of scope here.
  
  It looks like you had a lot of fun doing this demo and likewise - it was fun to watch!

• 4k Windows Light Is Strange by Eos
• Yup, my kind of intro:
  + Music is very appropriate, not annoying, serves the purpose more than well
  + Pure technical effects, no designer BS or laughably-pompatic self-promotion
  + Nice visuals, also runs decent for me (five years old GTX 460, i7)
  + Interesting/unusual effects with light dispersion. It is really cool idea to make a small intro about it! I actually suspect how you do it, but would be even nice to read short making-of or something like that.
  
  In fact, I would really like to see more technical demoscene nowadays, so this brings me some hope:) Good job!

• 64k invitation Linux Windows MacOSX Intel tensile by Horology
• Top class! On of my favourite, because of algorithms used to generate scenes, plus super well made and enjoyable.

• demo Windows pb07: piraatjes by Poo-Brain [web]
• Graphics and effects are quite nice. The music, as other people say, is utter garbage - it is not even funny or hilarious as I believe you wanted it to be, also it is much worse than in your previous productions.

• wild Wild Trybuna Loda by Ghostown
• Bardzo śmieszne. Szczególnie ta strona, gdzie jest napisane Sosnowieś = Gdańsk południa, najdalej wysunięta na południa dzielnica Warszawy.
  
  For english speaking folks to get the joke: you can read on one page that Sosnowiec Village (which is in fact the city) = Gdańsk/Danzig of the south, which is apparently very funny for locals living in western Silesia if you consider the history and origin of people living in Sosnowiec.
  Also for people to understand: if you are from the village in Poland it is considered to be something to be ashamed of (as silly as it sounds).
  
  Of course they don't mean all of this, but it is a fun play around those prejudiced opinions.
  
  The remaining text also contains political jokes, that are to be honest kind of getting boring already, but yeah, apparently polish people are still living it. And now wonder, as their government and a lot of common people there are completely crazy/insane: from religious bigots to people openly discriminating minorities, extreme right-wing believers, clairvoyants, excorcists, anti-feminist and politically incorrect nutjobs. All of this makes up for reality that is both hilarious and sad at the same time. However, to be fair, it is not just Poland, since it is more and more common trait in other EU countries.
  
  Thumb up for being so polish and keeping it "real" ;)

• 8k Windows Psyltcipher by Loonies [web] & Loopit [web]
• Hmm, I have mixed feelings about this one. There seems to be some problem with music and composition. Like something doesn't tick right. Also, it is in the mood of "Chaos Theory 7k", just worse ;) The only thing I like are beautiful god rays.

• wild JavaScript Gabba by Genshiken & PKTteam [web]
• If only the models were in true 3d. Animation from multiple PNGs?! No, thanks.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Vaginal Massacre by u.d.o.
• I think I understand the title, but I would not go too far with the explanation! Let's just say the demo could last a little longer ;) And thumb up, for sure. Just don't get me wrong, please!

• demo Amiga AGA Last Train To Danzig by Ghostown & Haujobb
• StingRay, arguably it was more to the "point" ;) For me this one here is ok, it's not offending or anything, just rather misleading, that's all. Besides the fact it is the mix of two languages, "last" could also refer to many things, like the last train to catch this day or the last one before the city name has changed ;)? Or the last one to catch to be on time at the party. Apparently there are also couple of movies and TV series with a similar title, like a post-apocalyptic drama "The Last Train". There is even a song name: "Last Train to Clarksville", which funnily enough brought some controversy, because Clarksville is next to Fort Campbell, Kentucky, yet authors have a stance that the song has nothing to do with it or Vietnam war.
  
  All of this made me wonder as usual things have meanings and IMHO artist are in fact responsible to at least make some prior-studies to find out what will be the potential message and if this message is on par with their intent. But apparently, there was little to no thought behind this title, other than hinting at Polish/German cooperation and (presumably) Steampunk theme. And no, I really don't mind this title, but I was simply curious. To be honest, I still don't understand what is the point of mixing languages in credits, but nevermind. Maybe it's about consistency between the title and the credits, or maybe, just maybe, the authors were not aware what is a proper English name that people use in mainstream sources today. But since, of course, I was immediately recognized as an enemy or some kind of extremist, we will never know ;)

• d0DgE, did I offend you any way that you are using condescending tone? I hope you understand that as much as creators have right to decide on the title, people have right to comment and express their feelings on whatever topic they wish. Still, as I already admitted, I should be more subtle next time. Peace!
