Internal 11 - Editorial
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
* EDITORIAL * again a new editorial for your pleasure and delight given to you by chief editor 2 and number 1!... we're proud to give you again a new issue full of new and old things!.... there's no stopping us from inventing new things but we respect the old traditional values and that's why we're still on the air. we thank hereby the loyal senders of news,stories,.... your work is appreciated!... we hope our work is also appreciated. anyway, this is issue ELEVEN and we're still busy. this has proven that a lot of people enjoy this magazine! we've always made this magazine in the interest of the people and we've sworn to stop after the fifth issue when YOU didn't like this mag. we've seen you like this magazine as you're voting for it!... we've always tried to broadcast a policy in which we've tried to let the people descide whether this nag comes in the charts or not. this mag has never had any competitive character as we're the first to say the CHARTS are corrupted, but we admit we felt quite appreciated when seeing our old 1 file internal brandishing in the charts!... we hope you like the multi-filed aswell!... we did like the 1 file mag, but because of text-amount problems we switched over to multi-file!... some mags reviewed the 1-file mag with a lot of other multi- file magazines and we weren't all that pleased as we have no competitive aim, but still they gave us bad points on several things. i can only say it's dumb to compare a multi-file with a 1 file mag! anyway, let's go on with some nicer craptalk. of course this month had it's ups'n down s but most of the groups survived... again people sacrefice and give blood and tears to keep this scene alive and i think everyone has to work with as WHO DOESN'T WANT TO KEEP THIS SCENE ALIVE? but also the laws are making it harder and harder for us to keep on continuing our usual stuff. some weeks ago we saw on belgian tv (vtm) an info-prg. in which they reveal- ed for the FIRST time some facts about the existing of: CRACKING and ABUSE of FREE (11) LINES.... there was even an ex-cracker who claimed the cracker gave bribes to employees of software firms to get FIRST releases... i think that guy sat too long before his little 64 .... anyway, it's all in the gutter here in belgium and we'll suffer the same laws as in our neighboring countries! our law is at many point NOT accurate but with things like this we'll soon have an UPDATED AND TOO DETAILED law and then it'll be GAME OVER for a lot of scene guys. well, let's all enjoy the time we've still to enjoy and let's make love instead of war... this is a message to all guys who want to play the PARTY-BREAKERS:' shut the fuck up and stop all this foolnishness most of the guys in the scene only want to have a good time and a lot of fun... if you're getting bored then just quit and don't act like a fool '.... * i really wonder how much pages this issue will have as we're always surprise d about the HUGE amount of pages!... * another thing which has amazed me was the NON-response on our little music- competition... still the solution is so very easy! it's just the big l....lose! well, i'm happy to see we've been able to release this mag again. so they're still a lot of guys out-there who sup- port us. cool! * in these little editorials i always get off the road to talk a bit about the current wow as this is STILL a 100 procent WOW RELEASE... anyway, with hip-hop and house in my ears i'll refill your bits and pieces with some wow sentimentality.... with a new organiser on the fleet, leavings of some members and even some KICKS we set off to our next generation.... a generation which may well lead to the end of an era... the end of the c64 era but let's LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIGHT OF LIFE and let's take each day how it comes.... yes, WOW will finally make everyone go flat on his mouth when you will see us rising again!... we have made it once and we'll make it again! after times of desolutions and illusions there's a time for facing reality and this time has come!... NO more ORIGINALS SWAP.... of course you'll be able to buy them from the one and only .... just try it!... but first let's proof it!... so watch out. our vast team exists now of some fierce and some less fierce warrior s but we'll make it all happen and when we have reached our goal we'll KICK ASS once again and we'll bring our brothers in arms up to the sky and will only deal with the ones who've always BACKED us UP .... BELGIUM has always been the country of the RULING LEGEND(S) (especially LEGEND) but most of the scene-guys are short-sighted and miss a sequel to the ever ruling ones.... a silver- medalist has always been WOW and every- one who can proof me likeways may dis- cuss this with me!... but i can assure you that being second in a little country like belgium isn't so HARD!... as the competition sucks. you can call me pretentious and maybe i'm but we're there and THIS IS THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!.... we've now everything we want... some good original suppliers,some crackers, few coders,gfx-artist(s),musician(s),... and some lousy swappers ....(p.e. me,my- self and i...) some can say this just ain't enough but just wait and see..... * after this WOW promotion i'll cut the crap and start to talk about some other shit!... * after a shocking summer holiday we released INTERNAL 10 with great pleasure ... a fine issue if you asked me... but i was so damned pissed off as i had to wait 3 weeks for it!... i had NO spread- disc and i wanted to release some wow shit again!... so i got some shit.. some german shit!... (game on shit)...luckily they were well-trained and A-CLASS versions, but i was expecting the hot internal 10 but some kind of a lamer- editor had to kiss kiss at the movies and had (so he says) no time enough... i want to make a bet with you CHIEF EDITOR 1 ... i can get the charts ready 10 times faster as you!... anyway, of course ch.ed.1 does everything manual as you can see... we have probably the largest crackercharts... (40-60 groups?) i didn't even know that some of those groups could (still) crack...(haha)... anyway, i forgave him for 1 time but at that moment i was so fucking depressed.. . i'm such an internal fanatic... (i'll kill all antis...) well, a funny (lame!) thing happened with PROPAGANDA .. there were released 3 versions (or more)... surely 1 was made by some nutcases and 1 by antichrist (ed.what's the difference? )... anyway, we have nothing personal against antichrist and if something we write should be a little offence against antichrist then it's just for joking as he has never done anything to hurt us! we still think that a magazine CAN'T be used for PERSONAL WARFARE.... so we will always try to ban lame remarks like xxxx xxx is lame or.... if we still do it then it'll be probably the fault of chief editor 1...(haha...sorry matt!) anyway, we hope you'll enjoy this issue and if my water is clean enough there will be some IMPROVEMENTS with this issue (yeah!)... * almost nobody reacted on the country votes in issue NINE.... pretty lame,but i'll shock you all with a new votesheet quite soon!... so just sit and wait... also await the news-sheet which is for most of the people easier to fill in then all those (LAME?) votesheets... i personally had to fill in 20000 brutal recall votesheets or chris and baze wouldn't swap with me anylonger... (HELP ME GOD,COZ THEY'RE BRUTAL). * by the way, i proposed to kick the charts last time as i (personally) think charts are LANE.. but ch.ed.1 (he's back and more cruel then ever...) said he's playing it more fair as he almost prints every crackergroup as you only have to have few points to get in the charts!... anyway, who agrees at this?... you'll be able to give your vote on the next NEW votesheet of INTERNAL..... * here's some more news about some belgian scene-freaks.... (not important but WHO CAREZ... nobody reads this shit anyway...haha) here's a small list of who passed his year or not: brk/legend FAILED at university and will do informatics in some kind of college! apollo/wow FAILED too at university and will do his year again. (tough luck,he guys!) stl/wow FAILED too...(ed.what a bunch of failures..haha). cruel/wow got lucky and PASSED (ed.i bet they had mercy because he looks like the hunchback of notre dame.....(flauwe, he?)). einstein/wow PASSED (ofcourse... with an iq of 204...hum?)... etc.... cyborg and scorpie/f4cg got both a modem divine/wow got a modem on ibm... vincent/wow is now still in the GERMAN ARMY and almost got into a fight with 30 BELGIANS....(ed.fighting world war ii i???) vinzz/wow should be in the army but is a deserter...(ed.so says mendrake...haha ).... it's time for something else.... * after the holidays it's time to get BUSY again and a lot of groups have already done this but due to some technicalities and problems WOW hasn't been releasing so much lately!... with sorrow in our hearts we say goodbye to another brave warrior who have left the camp of destruction to seek and find a REAL life... (goodbye ANDREW) anyway, we fight on as we've been strenghten by low,high and medium blows from several sides. now a lot of members are showing their best sides but have several different pro- blems... we also trying to set up a better ORIGINAL SERVICE which will give us first releases (99procent) but this isn't a one-day project and a minute takes an hour and a week a month but the REWARD will be high and will give us a place in the HISTORY books of the 64 SCENE. you should think this is all one big boast up and maybe it is but wow has still some old wow members and even when they're sometimes a pain in the ass they can give the group some moral support!... we appreciate this all and that's why we're still alive. WOW will not die when a member leaves. wow will die when EVERYONE gives up FAITH. if we now succeed in our schemes... then all WOW members will be able to say: WE'VE MADE IT ON OUR OWN... some ex- members will ofcourse say: it's because of us that they made it... i can only say... real warriors are the ones who kept supporting us in good times and in bad times!... all the REST are nothing but a bunch of loosers and assholes! wow members 'r now: vinzz-joker-matt-b'n b-slash-bono- cruel-apollo-sorex-bruno-stl-einstein- tech-grapple-unix-image-organiser- chacke and hitch/ispace/vincent/jones and at the mo' no more!.... it's possible that some scandinavian dudez will join aswel as some more belgian ones!... we're loosing and gaining new and old forces but it all comes down to one thing: FRIENDSHIP. * another thing: some of you might have seen the previous issue of internal ... it contained quite a lot of faults concerning the ENGLISH LANGUAGE and therefor the whole internal crew says SORRY ... this thing won't happen again as i'll try to debug all chapters!... another thing is that the charts may look rather strange to you all but chief editor 1 thinks that he helps small groups by letting them enter from the time they get 1 point!... i got a reaction against this from patriot/byg which he named a lot of groups which were inactive... he named a lot of groups who are still quite active but he made a point with it!... ofcourse this reaction was caused by the fact that BABYGANG wasn't in the charts!... therefor i say: VOTE FOR THEM .... (ed. isn't this a subjective thing?... well, if you really want to help a group then you have to do it by saying it right on and not by voting coz the charts SUCK (ed.this is only my opinion! ))... * greetings go out to NO-ONE except the ones we KNOW AND RESPECT.... * let's give the keys to chief editor ONE. yep yep yep... it's ze matt of the WOW himself who's back in yet another one of those lame editorials from einstein. (eh...) ah, so einstein aplogised about those spellingmistakes that were made in the previous issue. good work einstein, but as i was fed up with time-pressure i think it's a bit logic to explain... anyway... i really can't understand why some people (and especially einstein) claim that there are too many groups in the charts. the ones who'll claim are ofcourse the guys who aren't in the charts, but can i help it nobody's voting for ya? anyway, as einstein got some bad react- ions about this, i had some good ones! they really liked it seeing there are so many groups inthere. well, everybody may have his own opinion , i still think it's not a bad idea at all. but ofcourse if there'll come too many bad reactions, i change the system, don't worry. but don't claim if you aren't in the charts, that's not my fault!! another thing now... einstein said INTERNAL will be fixed a bit in this issue, hmm, i don't know if he's right... i don't think there'll sumthing change about the coding, but maybe vinzz will put some other graphics in it (logo above). but anyway, we'll all see. this outfit ain't so bad he, or?... we (especially me) have some problems about the release date of this magazine, sometimes it's the 3rd week, or the 4th week and like last issue it was the first day of the month, and i must say i don't think it's such a bad idea to release it in that period, because nothing much is spread then, so the most megaswappers will be glad if they have something new then, as the venlo-stuff at that time is mostly 1 or 2 weeks old. anyway, i'm glad to see we have more and more good reactions on this mag since we use a multi-filed system! but i'm very honest and i say that einstein'n'me have very much work with editing this mag. we both spent very much of our free time in this mag! anyway, einstein'n'i have a little problem... c-64 freaking is not anylon- ger a hobby, it's a fucking passion! and this passion already showed its danger!! einstein'n'me passed our year in school with many many problems! bah, but i don't care it's a passion, beacause i still like computing and i'm sure this never'll change!! yeah vinzz! it's YOU who said many years ago that it would be cool if i al- so would buy a 64! so i could ask my friends for games and then we would have many fun with playing them! i still know my favourite games were 'frantic freddie', 'hard hat mack' and 'fire ant', not knowing i would enter this scene some day! but don't think i'm mad now! no!! i only can say: THANKS VINZZ, for giving me the advise to buy that cool machine... COMMODORE BUSSINESS MACHINE 64. and it was cool to enter the scene together with you!... he, this sounds like a goodbye letter, nono, don't think that! we either aren't planning to leave this scene yet, hell no!! i'm also very glad to see the NEWS-SHEET from einstein was a very good idea to spread around, because of that this month we have many more news than in the last issue! ok, i think you heard enough crap in this editorial, so let's go over to the credits... here we go... chief-editors.............MATT, EINSTEIN co-editor.........................APOLLO fixing.............................VINZZ graphics...........................VINZZ two musics.......................TIM/MDA coding..........................OVERLORD yes, you saw it right (and ofcourse ya already heard it, there are two new musics, both composed by GUY SHAVITT of the SIDCHIP SCRATCHERS! they're very cool, yeah, GUY is really on of the best composers, man! anyway, go on reading this mag and enjoy it like hell!! bye! press FIRE... -MATT-
