Dear friends, there is a duo, that means a lot to us. No, not the Dynamic Duo, but pretty darn close. They are true friends of ours, hilarious laughs, American and sysops of the GENESIS world headquarter. We give you life behind the scenes of CHAMELEON AND GAZER CHAMELEON AND GAZER - DEAR CHAM, WE SEEM TO KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR DEEDS. PLEASE HAND US SOME PERSONAL INFORMATION. I'M A 6'2", 22 YEARS OLD, BROWN EYED NEW YORKER. CURRENTLY ATTENDING COLLEGE, MAJORING IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND FOOSE- BALL (AHAHA). I LOVE RAVES (WITHOUT THE DRUGS), DRINKING AND FUCKING HOGS! AND MOST OF ALL I'M A TELEPHONE JUNKIE. (Ed.and likes disturbing me during akward situations!) - WE'VE ALL BEEN DOING AKWARD THINGS. WHAT'S YOUR SECRET? SHARE IT WITH THE REST OF THE SCENE. I'VE BEEN HAVING PHONESEX WITH BOD AND MAJESTY (JOKING!!!)** \/ - WHAT ARE YOUR FUTUREPLANS, SCENEWISE AND OUTSIDE? WELL I'M STICKING WITH THE 64 TILL THE THE VERY END! I VIEW THE SCENE AS ONE BIG FAMILY AND I CAN'T SEE MYSELF LEAV- ING IT, UNLESS IT LEAVES ME. OUTSIDE OF THE SCENE I PLAN TO SETTLE MY CAREER. YOU KNOW, THE 'MONEY THING'. - HOW DID YOU COME WITH THE HANDLE Chameleon? WELL, ACTUALLY I CAME UP WITH THE HANDLE WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT I COULD DO LORES GFX. AND SINCE MY COLOR SCHEMES ARE FUCKED UP, THE HANDLE FITS ME FINE. SO WHY NOT NAME MYSELF AFTER A COLOR CHANGING LIZARD? AHAHAHA - IF YOU WERE TO FORM THE PERFECT GROUP, WHO WOULD YOU ADD TO THE TEAM AND WHY? HMMM... Bod FOR HIS EXPERIENCE IN THE SCENE. Majesty, NEED A PLAYBOY ON THE TEAM. Newscopy FOR HIS ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS. Morrissey(DBL) FOR HIS ML CODING HAHAHA.** \/ - WHAT WAS THE MEANIST THING YOU EVER DID TO ANYONE? PROBABLY DELETING A NEWBE USER ON DIVINE ULTIMATUM. OR KICKING OFF A GROUP FROM THE BOARD. - IS THERE A SPECIAL GIRL IN YOUR LIFE? IF SO, WHAT IMPACT DOES SHE HAVE ON YOU, LETS SAY, COMPUTERWISE? YES... AND SHE LIVES IN ENGLAND. HER NAME IS LUCIA HOLMES. HER VOICE DRIVES ME CRAZY WHEN SHE SINGS 'LOVE U MORE'. YES, SHE'S A SINGER IN A TEKNO GROUP. BUT I HAVE MY EYES ON ANOTHER ENGLISH BIRD, CARRY HAGAN, ANOTHER FINE ENGLISH GIRL. COMPUTERWISE SHE HAS NO IMPACT ON ME. CHAMELEON'S FAVORITES FOOD..........STEAKS DRINK.........GROLSCH LAGER MOVIE.........BASIC INSTINCT ACTOR.........SEAN CONNERY ACTRESS.......DEBBIE MOORE BOOK..........CHAOS MUSIC.........TEKNO RAVE/ALTERNATIVE PLACE.........BAHAMAS ISLANDS GAME..........STARFOX (SNES) CRACKERGROUP..LEGEND IMPORTGROUP...ARMAGEDDON DEMOGROUP.....2ND DIMENSION DISKMAG.......SHOCK MUSICIAN......EVS/20CC - FINALLY, WHO DO YOU RESPECT OR DIS- LIKE? HAVE THEY AFFECTED YOU? (BOTH COMPUTERWISE AND SOCIALWISE). YOUR BEST FRIENDS? HMMMM HOW CAN YOUR RESPECT ANYONE IN A CUTTHROAT ENVIRONMENT LIKE THE SCENE. I CAN'T EVEN TRUST MYSELF (HEHEHE). NOW- ADAYS IT'S USE OR BE USED. BUT I WOULD HAVE TO RESPECT DERBYSHIRE RAM/ILS FOR HIS LONGEVITY IN THE SCENE. JUST SEEING HIM ON THE BOARDS MAKES YOU WISH YOU WERE PART OF THE SCENE AS LONG AS HE HAS. DISLIKE ALL THE LITTLE CHILDREN WHO LIKE TO CRASH 64 BOARDS. BEST FRIENDS: Bod, Majesty, Tronic, Hi-Lite, Burglar, Morrissey, Newscopy, Murdock, CBA, Gazer, and Akaloid. (CAN'T FORGET Zledfoot (Barbara) HEHE). Well, well. Doesn't seem to be such an impressing fellow after all! ** \/ Hopefully, Gazer will be giving us more of interest. Keep wiggling. (Coming interview done by Chameleon!) - Gazer, BEING NEW TO THE SCENE, PLEASE TELL US A LITTLE (EMPHASIS ON LITTLE) ABOUT YOURSELF. WELL, I'M 39, HAVE 3 KIDS AGED 10-17 (AS OLD AS MOST IN THE SCENE)! HAHA DERBY RAM'S NOT THE ONLY 'SENIOR' AROUND TOWN. I FIT THE ARIAN REQUIREMENTS, THAT MAY BE WHY MAJESTY GETS ALONG WITH ME SO WELL... WAS RAISED MOST OF MY LIFE IN NEW YORK STATE, BUT I WAS BORN IN ALABAMA (MY DAD WAS IN THE AIR FORCE), SO I KINDA FEEL LIKE A REBEL WITHOUT A COUNTRY.... EVERYBODY WANTS MY PIC, BUT EVEN MY FAMILY HAS NONE OF ME LESS THAN 14 YEARS OLD, SO THAT'S A PROBLEM. HAHAHA ONE OF THESE DAYS I'LL HAVE TO GET SOME TAKEN. GUESS I'M JUST NOT VERY PHOTOGENIC... - HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE RUNNING Divine Ultimatum FOR Chameleon? IN A WAY I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH DU A LOT LONGER THAN ANYONE REALLY KNOWS. IN FACT, I WAS THE GUY THAT CHAM USED TO TEST EVERYTHING OUT WHEN HE WAS FIRST SETTING IT UP A COUPLE YEARS AGO. NOW I HAVE THE THING RUNNING AT MY HOUSE! THAT WAS SOMETHING I WAS A BIT SURPRISED TO SEE, BUT.... OH WELL... I RAN A BOARD BACK AROUND 86 OR SO, A TIME WHEN ALL THAT WAS AVAILABLE WERE U/D'S AND SUBS. I EVEN RAN ON HOME-MADE SOFTWARE AS AABBS V2(?) WAS ABOUT THE BEST AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME. SO THE IDEA OF RUNNING A BOARD WAS NOT NEW TO ME. I ALREADY KNEW WHAT I'D BE GETTING MYSELF INTO. -HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE RECENT SCENE? THE 'SCENE' IS ALMOST NONEXISTANT. ALL THE WAREZ THAT WERE ONCE AVAILABLE HAVE VIRTUALLY DISAPPEARED. THE CRACKING AND FIXING GROUPS WERE IN HEAVY COMPETITION WITH EACH OTHER BACK THEN. NOW, WITH SO LITTLE AVAILABLE, YOU'D THINK THE WHOLE THING ABOUT COMPETITION WOULD BE A LOT WORSE, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT EVERYBODY IS GETTING ALONG (AND EVEN HELPING OUT) MEMBERS FROM THESE 'COMPETITIVE' GROUPS. THE DEMOS AND MAGS THAT ARE STILL BEING PRODUCED ARE BETTER THAN EVER AND TEND TO REALLY REFLECT THE SCENE IN ITS TRUE FORM. MANY HAVE LEFT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND MOVED ON TO THE IBM OR AMIGA. THOSE THAT REMAIN ARE THE TRUE 64 DIEHARDS (OR THEY'RE JUST TOO BROKE TO AFFORD ONE OF THE OTHER SYSTEMS)... - DO YO FEEL YOU MADE ANY LIFETIME FRIENDS IN THE SCENE? YEAH, I HOPE SO... RUNNING D-U FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW A FEW OF THE GUYS PRETTY WELL. I CERTAINLY DO HOPE THAT THE RELATIONSHIPS WOULD REMAIN LONG AFTER THE 64 HAS VANISHED ENTIRELY. I DO WHAT I CAN TO HELP. I HAVE EVEN SHIPPED EQUIPMENT OVERSEAS CAUSE IT WAS DIFFICULT TO FIND CERTAIN HARDWARE ITEMS IN EUROPE OR I COULD BUY IT FOR QUITE A BIT CHEAPER HERE IN THE U.S. EVEN AFTER YOU INCLUDE THE PRICE OF SHIPPING. I'D HOPE THAT WOULD SET UP A GOOD FOUNDATION FOR A LASTING FRIENDSHIP. THEN THERE ARE JUST SOME PEOPLE THAT YOU NATURALLY HIT IT OFF WITH. THE AGE DIFFERENCE NEVER ENTERED INTO IT. THAT'S HOW IT WAS WITH L A STYLE, BOD, OR DEFF. GAZER'S FAVORITES FOOD..........FRENCH-LABIA BISQUE DRINK.........FRENCH-CREME DE CLITORIS MOVIE.........ANY -NOT- BY MONTE PYTHON ACTOR.........TOM CRUISE ACTRESS.......KIM BASINGER BOOK..........STEVEN KING MUSIC.........ANYTHING BUT RAP PLACE.........MONTE CARLO, FRANCE GAME..........RISK CRACKERGROUP..TALENT IMPORTGROUP...EMPIRE DEMOGROUP.....2D DISKMAG.......SHOCK MUSICAN.......EVS Now that's some experience. Next month, God knows who we will lobotomize, but if you have any suggestions, hand them in. Yours sincerly, Newscopy
