Internal 11 - Interview
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
now another thing to enjoy you folks!
this time we'll give you an interview
with ION/HOTLINE/BLACKMAIL!
a long title for an ordinary but cool
guy!...
first this:
C: chief editor 2
I: ion
let's get this show on the road:
c: hello ion! first some traditional
questions okay?
i: well, if i'd say no this interview
wouldn't be that long, or???
c: in which groups where you before
you joined bml?
i: well, it started back in history,
when i was in the CCCP SQUAD. then
we met ICE and they had some inside
problems. due to those problems they
splitted and one part founded TRC
and the other part founded, together
with CCCP, BLACK MAIL. and since a
few months i'm also in HOTLINE.
c: what else do you do besides
computing and getting out of
all your depressions?
i: hmmm, what can a man do besides his
computer? well, i started skating
(skate-board ofcourse) when i kicked
my modem. but my daily hobby is
irritating C-C/HTL. and i discovered
a game called ROLE-PLAYING. it's a
mega-cool idea, but takes a hell of
a time.
well and in the time i've got left
i'm going out these days. but that
will give big problems in the next
10 months, because i must do some
exams this year.
c: who do you want to greet and
who are your best friends in the
scene?
i: that are the following dudes:
the BLACK MAIL gang
the HOTLINE gang
EVS/20CC NOL/???
RH/??? RAZE/X-RAY
HARLEQUIN/SILICON GOLDRUSH/CREST
RONNY/F4CG PUNISHER/G*P
ROY/VICTIMS MAX/BEYOND FORCE
EURASIA/EURASIA
and ofcourse to my contacts i had
the last years, there were 367 dudes
i've swapped with.
and ofcourse CHIEF EDITOR 2
c: if you could change the scene how
would it be like?
i: like 1986, but with the quality of
today. i want to see the real times
trough the eyes of an elite.
c: what are your jobs in htl?
i: you can better ask:'what were your
jobs in HOTLINE?',because i stopped
swapping and kicked my modem. so i
can't say that i've any real job
in HOTLINE right at this moment.
but in the near future i'll have
some real important things to do,
time will learn. but it's to bad
that i can't tell you what those
activities are.
c: do you have to pay rob also to
stay a member of htl?
i: wadyathink?
c: is there a difference between the
old and the current htl?
i: hmmm, we've got other members(the
only old-HOTLINE member who's in
is rob). further we get all things
for more computers like:c64,c128,
amiga,atari-st,pc and more.
also we don't want 1st releases
(ofcourse it would be great to have
some 1st releases) but we're more
working on the quality(all must work
100*,all must be in,not to much
trainers,etc,etc).
but what do you mean with old and
new? HOTLINE never died!!! their
production was low, but they were
always there!!!
c: have you got another computer
besides the good old 64?
i: two c64 and one c128 isn't that
enough? ofcourse i own some game
computers, but i still prefer my
c64.
c: how young are you?
i: just became 19 years.
c: now some questions where you only
can answer yes/no. you can only pass
once!... okay?
i: tja, that sounds tough.
c: do you think holland is ok?
i: YEAH, aint that though as i thought.
c: do you have a girl/boyfriend?
(only answer with yes/no!...or pass
... ion!...haha)
i: a boyfriend? no, i'm a hetro sexual
of the purest race.
a girlfriend? yes
c: is htl the best cracking group in
holland?
i: yes.
c: do you believe in god (of victims?)?
i: pass.
c: now some ordinary questions!
where did you get your name from?
i: tja, when i was young and had my
black-outs from time to time, i
liked hiphop(unbelievable i liked
that kind of crap). one day i got
a record with some nice tunes.
one of the texts contained the
words:'I Obey Nobody'. well that's
how my name was born. but as i grew
up and started to hate hiphop, i
wanted to change my name. but what
the hack? as i want to study
chemistry i think ION is still a
good name, or?
c: since when are you in the scene?
i: do you mean as a lamer, or as an
elite dude? well i started in 1988
but became really known in 1989.
c: have you got any enemies?
i: not that i'm aware of. but if there
is someone out there who doesn't
like me, i don't even care. i'm
better anyway(hehehe).
c: do you want to say something to
the readers?
i: yeah, BLACK MAIL never died as some
people said. i think they're all
afraid of our coming smasher witch
will be unbeatable(hehehe).
call our HOTLINE hqs:
CITADEL OF ILLUSION(whq)
xxx-xxx-xxxx
STATE OF MIND(hq)
xxx-xxx-xxxx
MANIAC CASTLE(dutch hq)
+xx-(0)xxxx-xxxx
c: what's a lamer?
i: somebody with only one leg, or one
eye. anyway he isn't able to act
like a normal person.
c: have you got any tips for the
readers to become 'famous'?
i: am i famous? i only can tell the
demo-groups that they've to make
better demos, and not those lame
'back to the old time' shit things.
for crackers i can't tell. to bad
but life's hard and before you
know it you've a tja depression.
WATCH OUT FOR A
'WAANZINNIG DEPRESSION'!!!
c: do you have any pets?
i: yes, two little brothers. i just
learned them how to get my post.
c: what's your favourite country?
and if you could chose where you
could be born where should it be?
i: that question is an easy one,
HOLLAND ofcourse. but where do i
want to be born? well everwhere
as long as i can get to HOLLAND and
get my DUTCH nationality.
c: why are you always saying:
'tja depression rules'?
i: some time ago i used 'tja' to stop
a discussion which i didn't like.
but soon it became an adiction, i
used 'tja' everywhere and all people
around got really pissed off. you
can say that they had a real 'tja
depression'. but lately i use some
other words. so 'tja depression' is
out. waaaaaaaaanzinnig.
c: have you ever had any problems
with the post or the cops?
i: troubles with the post? no, because
i'm good friends with the post here
in my little village, so they know
what's mine, and they let it pass.
i just love the ptt.
troubles with the police on the
computer? no, and they won't ever
get me for it. but in my real life
i've seen the police enough. you
better can say, to often.
c: are you going much to parties?
i: no, and i hate not going to a party.
but it uses to much time, and i need
all that time for my study. and in
the holidays i've better things to
do(ever tried to fuck your user-port
??? i never tried it, but i know
i prefer other holes!!!).
c: well, i guess i'm out of inspiration
but if you want to ask me some
questions then please do!
i: wauw, this is what i call a cool
interview. i can ask some things
too. well let us start
I: is still ion
C: is ofcourse the chief editor 2
i: well i'll let it start very easy for
myself. just give me your reactions
on the following words, okay?
c: i'm all ears...
i: belgium
c: the country with the best beers and
the best fries... a little country
with a strange and retarded law but
probably good enough otherwise it
wouldn't be called THE COCKPIT OF
EUROPE... like i said, belgium is
a country where the food,the people
,the beers,.... are just GREAT.
i: HOTLINE (i always want to know what
other peolple think of us).
c: one of my favourite cracking groups
as c+c are QUALITY CRACKERS... for
me they're the number 1!...
(if you think this is sliming you
should see my dog...)
i: BLACK MAIL (that was obvious, or?).
c: a group with a lot of (famous) good
members but they're so inactive!...
it's quite lame that so much groups
have comments on them... every group
is from time to time inactive but
perhaps it's time to set free some
of those marvel demos...
i: my delays
c: i hate them.... as you know you're
my favourite dutch dude and it's
always nice to get a lot of cool
letters from a good pal... but i
forgive you, just keep swapping!
i: how's life these days in belgium?
c: like i said, the law is fucking
stupid here but till now life's
quite good. sometimes i get annoyed
by all those foreign inhabitants but
the law admits it so what can we
else do then obey... anyway, this is
a matter which doesn't interest me
anymore. i'm happy to be living in
belgium as i've been eating some
puke fries in holland and i wanted
to return to belgium immediately...
i: you where at the silicon party, and
there was this building called
'einstein', and there was this lane
called 'einstein-dreef'. well i
think, you could tell the people how
to get famous, more as i can. so
tell us how!
c: well, now you're dealing the cards..
anyway, i shouldn't know how to
become famous as otherwise i would
not be interviewing some dutch
lamers...(haha..) just kidding ion!
i guess if your personality and
charisma is great enough or you're
a very good coder,cracker,musician,
... you can become a so-called elite
dude. but who cares about that crap?
i: well what are your favorites? and i
don't mean computer things ofcourse.
c: what favourites?... girls,cars?...
i like eating things which aren't
good for my health (and weight),
i like going out from time to time
to fool around. i like watching
t.v.... i'm a real home-guy...
there's no place like home!...
i'm a quite boring character, but
i like to spend money!...
i: well i'll give you some words and
you may make your own sentences, or
stories. do understand?
c: hit it!
i: amiga, c64, te wauw.
c: i once had an amiga but when the
thing broke down i'd switched over
to my c64 again which gave me such a
blow that it was te wauw for me so
i joined wow.
i: americans,europeans,germans
c: americans are normal guys with some-
times a real EGO and a lot of guys
think all americans are gods!...
it's handy to live in the usa as
most of the boards are in america
and it's a country of luxury.
europeans are nowadays a real
competitor towards the usa as the
ussr is braindamaged but let's hope
the europeans can keep everything
in order and won't start a WORLD
WAR again.
germans have suffered quite a lot
under 2 world wars but are back with
a strong economy. let's hope they'll
make everyone rich...
i: real life, computer life.
c: real life has some comparisons with
the computer life as in the scene
you meet all kind of characters and
you learn from your mistakes but
real life is still a lot different
as i p.e. spend to much money on
telephone-calls... luckily for me
i still live home otherwise my
computer life would have been over
allready... i hope i'll have enough
free time over as i'm going to
university (from the 7th october)
but i'll rise and kick!...
i: well, some normal questions now
would be right placed here,or?
c: what's normal nowadays?
i: you're on amiga too? or?
c: well, the story is that i bought
an amiga 1 year ago but then the
damned machine broke down and i
sold it too cruel/wow (ed. the
amiga was fixed!)
anyway, i think the amiga scene
has still a lot to learn from the
64 scene as i could join DEFJAM
if i'd bought a modem...(lame!)
anyway, the 64 rulez and i hope
it will stay forever.
i: are you one of those 'i'm waiting
for DUTCH BREEZE' guys?...
c: i like a good demo but i'm not
awaiting this particular demos.
a lot of others are and i guess
that's their bussiness...
i: well, don't ask me when it's ready
to spread, but i don't care anymore
as it takes me much to long now.
i'm completely out of my questions.
i'll never do an interview again.
it would take too much of my brain-
capacity.
c: well, let's hope i'll be seeing you
at some more dull parties...
anyway, we stay FRIENDS FOREVER,he?
so readers... i hope you've enjoyed
reading this as it was done all for
your pleasure but personally i think
interviews are quite boring... but
i know some guys who can really
make something out of an interview!
but for this time i say goodbye and
a lot of 'present-cheques' to ion/
htl/bml for this cool interview!...
