• So I've now watched it again and I have many thoughts:
  
  First off, the idea is fun (in line with the trend of screenlife films and games like Uplink or Superhot where a story is told through a person's interaction through a user interface), there's some absolutely delicious (if a bit "common") UI sound design and some fun UX going on. All of this on an Amiga and that's already an impressive feat.
  
  My big problem is with the rest - the first is the glacial pacing: initially it's a good idea to slow down the interface traversal to let the user absorb the setting, but the more the plot moves forward, the less time you should spend on loading spinners and UI animations waiting to finish, and since the plot is building up to something, you should gradually ramp up your intensity in action as well - instead there's a lot of "waiting for screen to fill" thumb twiddling that in the end accounts for most of the running length.
  
  The other thing is that the plot kindof ends out of nowhere (the only real foreshadowing is that little popup during the "LOADING CRACKER" part, but it's hard to distinguish it from the rest of the OS) and ends a bit abruptly (sequel hook?) without a real climatic sense of what exactly happened; the UI audio hum actually starts pitchbending up (a nice touch) to show that you're in the coda of the prod, but then that happens ~20 seconds before the prod ends which feels a bit too abrupt.
  
  I guess what I'm saying is that the actual elements of an absolute genius prod where there, and all it missed was a little tightness in direction - but then, whether that was technically feasible (with Rose, with Amiga, etc) is a different question. Still a great prod, of course, just couldn't get past the nitpicks yet :)

• 4k Windows El Gore by Alter?Was?
• Looks like SOMEONE looked at the mfx demo last year and, to paraphrase the great Ford Fairlane, "said 'Nice try.' and pulled out a straw".

• The compofiller nature does show in the direction (it repeats a fair bit and kinda runs out of ideas too early) but the visual(+aural) quality carries the whole thing home.

  Also, the "download" here gives me an 8,8k file. How is this 4k?

  
  The SVG is 8k, the SVGZ (which is a GZIP compressed SVG) is 3-ish, but since the GZIP compression can be done on-the-fly by both the browser and the server, it happens transparently, and is supported by all browsers rather than just raw SVGZ, which isn't.
