The Link 13 Kiwi
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
mr bungle of tsr and (bad karma) back again,with this months kiwi section. i already wrote a long chapter,and sent it off to uptonogood,but the bloody post office lost it. you can't live with'em and you can't swap without'em. anyway,i thought this time i'd just do a review from something over here in new zealand,not that there's been much to review lately. i'll find something,but first some small news items,as you might know by now,i've changed my handle from the rogue to mr bungle,but you may not know,thaat i've changed the name of my papermag (formerly vendetta) to midlife crisis. you can get your free copy of the latest issue,just by writing to me. (see addy section) anyway,first off i'll review a disk i received from nighthawk/lithium,recently you might not have heard,that there is a new group (if you can call it that) in new zealand,called anna (from guess work i think the name of gch/anna's girl,back in england where he comes from (why doesn't he go back). on the disk i got from nighthawk (who also happens to be in anna) were 2 disk editions of their papermag hot margarine,and a small demo called #england#,as well as a few short notes etc,etc. the mags themselves are ok,nice graphix, and music,etc (the menu looks familiar from somewhere tho)but the text content is utter drivel,and i think it's meant to be that way,90% f's and 10% s's,if you know what i mean. the demo #england# looks like it has been made with some sort of demo-making program,the graphix are quite good,but that's about all. once again the scroll content is just mindless trollop. it ends with an advertisent for the paper- mag hot margarine,which is basically the high point of the whole thing (nh's gfx look cool here). i know this stuff isn't supposed to be taken seriously,and (they say) it's all done in fun,but when you go slagging people off and just spouting off bull- shit,it gets tiresome. gch you might not give a fuck,but i'm sure nighthawk you ought to be careful,fucking around like that,you are one of the top kiwi sceners,but if you guys keep this up you might not be admired as much. these are only my personal views on the topic,but i do know of a couple of guys who feel the same as i do. why not just keep that kind of stuff for the papermag (which i did enjoy reading) and not let it get mixed up with your scene life. anyway enough bullshit from me,i've got to pack this and send it off,otherwise you won't be reading this right now. ciao...... mr bungle-tsr-bk midlife crisis #3 will be out real soon. ---------------------------------------- now sit back and enjoy the new zealand charts. you will find some surprises. thanks to all those people who took the time to vote. we would like to see more people take the time to vote for us as well.
