  and respect...


+ well that was the faves, and among 'em
  was favourite friends.
  what about dudes you hate/dislike in
  the scene. ?
  if you got some please tell us who -
  and why you don't like them !

- this is a hard question indeed.i don't
  think that i hate anybody more than a
  bit but some guy's are really acting
  like asshole's sometimes...


+ what is your plans for the future ?
  both in the scene and in private !

- i think i'll try to remain my place in
  vision and keep up the mag CULTURE
  together with cevin.i don't know what
  group i'll join next because cevin is
  also involved with that thing coz we
  try to be in the same group always...


+ when the c64 dies(hopefylly many years
  from now !!!!) what will you do then ?
  jump to the (l)amiga or pc. ?
  or simply quit the whole compy-scene?

- first of all...c-64 will always have a
  special place in my heart because i
  just have so much good memories.i dont
  think c-64 will die in this century
  but when that time come's,i'll for
  sure keep my c-64 with me to my own
  grave and buy a pc and start all over
  with that commie.i wont buy an amiga
  coz the scene sux in there...


+ please tell me what a lamer is in your
  opinion ?

- a lamer is a guy who know's that he's
  doing lame things like ripping but
  does it allthought somebody tells him
  to stop it.i don't think that the new
  guy's who enter the scene are lame coz
  they just don't know what is lame and
  what isn't...everybody was a newcommer
  once upon a time...


+ what do you think about the -
  'elite contra lame' thing ?

  is there anything we can do about it?

- i don't quite understand what you mean
  with this question but the real lamers
  are those who call the newcommers lame
  .they have propably forgot how they
  started on the scene.you can always
  do something with all cases...


+          about your contacts
           -------------------

+ do ya have a lot of contacts ?
  (how many - name a few.)

- at the moment i have about 120 good
  contacts and if i would name a few,i
  would pick...mr.giga,cevin,and the
  frenchflair as good friends but if you
  wanna know the elitest dudes in my
  opinion,then they are...bacchus/flt,
  savage/light,trix/cml,incubus/triad,
  jtm/visual reality,marcus/deicide and
  many many others...


+ do you prefer legal stuff or cracks
  or maybe both from your contacts.

- legal stuff is offcourse cool but GOOD
  games are also welcome...


+ do you use cheated stamps ?

- who wouldn't...

+ about demos : do ya like 'em ?
  is there to many or to few ?

- i like demo's like hell and there's
  never too much of those...


+ and the same for mags ?

- there's for sure too many magazines
  nowadays and i think that people
  shouldn't start making a mag just to
  have a monthly product from your group
  and something to fill a disk...


+ if you had the opportunity to build up
  a new group - which persons would you
  like to join ?

- whoa,a good question! i would be in
  heaven if my group would consist of
  the following members: wap/astral,
  dmn/extacy,creeper/fhi,zodiac/fhi,
  cop/faces,tts/oxyron,deek/crest,the
  syndrom/tia,fozzie/gothic,electric/ext
  and many others...


               brainstorm!
               -----------


+ what do you say when i say :

+ group :

- vision is the best...

+ coca cola :

- ...sucks,pepsi is better!

+ friendship :

  for being a understanding friend and
  another one goes to radical/amnesia
  who live's so close to me! all the
