"We're proud to be associated with this fine board" said DUKE to LARRY on LARRY SING LIVE - where after he broke into a fine version of the RADIOHEAD smash hit song, CREEP. SECOND TO NONE is however a private board, and access is therefore only permitted to those invited - as opposed to a normal public one. A new board is being planned though, and it is reachable at WWW.DOT.COM. This one however, will only allow lamers! This page is PRIVATE. Only ELITE sceners are allowed to read it. Please come back, when you are ELITE.. F4CG AND AFL GO HEAD TO HEAD.. ________________________________________ The scene is usually a peaceful place, but now i| seems as though things are heating up below us. A few of the most influential groups are currently getting ready for what could be described as a scene war - aiming their joysticks against each other, and plugging in their modems to cruise the net and boards in an armed state. The groups in question are F4CG and ALPHA FLIGHT, who has had a mean eye for each other a while. It all started, when ALPHA FLIGHT criticised F4CG, calling them a group with a short name. STYX spoke to WAR TV and asked; cunt.. "You know what they say about groups with short names, don't you?". Nobody knew though. "Well, they've.. eh.. They've got a short name!!" STYX explained. NEWSCOPY was outraged by the statements made by STYX, and claimed F4CG was just an abbreviation of something longer - although it has been so long ago anyone mentioned it, they had forgotten all about it. "It sounds something like FANTASTIC FOUR CRACKING GROUPIES, but I can't seem to remember right now.." said a frustrated NEWSCOPY. The cold wind between the two forces continued, as MARC stated to WAR TV a cunt.. few days later, he thought F4CG was a group of people, who were not very nice. F4CG responded immediately, kidnapped MARC and put him in front of a camera in a small, dark cell, forcing him to say - in a monotonous, mechanical tone of voice; "F4CG is a peaceloving group. I denounce all, who say they are not." Few however believed the broadcast, claiming it was obvious MARC was manipulated into saying, what he did. "MARC would never utter such a sophisticated word as DENOUNCE" said STYX to WAR TV.

PROPAGANDA - The Bridge To Babylon - ___________________________ LEGEND GETS IN SHAPE... ________________________________________ The once proud cracking-group, LEGEND, gets ready to bring itself back into old form, and they seem to have found the means to get them there. In late October, WESTBAM and POWERPLANT travelled to RUSSIA to prepare for the Christmas releases, working out in a hut near MOSCOW. "It's just like ROCKY. Remember that movie, when he prepared for a fight in RUSSIA? Same deal here!" stated WESTBAM to SCENE NEWS JOURNAL. The training conditions may however not be as similar, as WESTBAM hoped others would believe. Apparently the program of cunt.. the day was eating pizza's and drinking coca cola's - while at the same time inserting disks into diskdrives, and logging on and off internet sites. "This is just between you and me though, don't wanna serve others with the secret to success on the C64" said POWERPLANT to a gossipy journalist. Here is a picture of +------------+ POWERPLANT outside the | ** || | rented hut near the | \/ ||||| capital of RUSSIA, | **** ****| MOSCOW. Notice the | ** *..*| happy smile on his | ** ****| face - and WESTBAM, | * * ****| who is peeking out the |** ** ****| window.. +------------+ "Det er dumt at skrive paa dansk i et internationalt magasin." Please learn Danish and come back.. VENGEANCE WANTS TO WAX YOUR BACK... ________________________________________ The latest edition of VANDALISM NEWS, the 29TH, was the source of a great debate between MOREN of SCS+TRC and the editor of the magazine, VENGEANCE. It seems MOREN wrote VANDALISM NEWS and criticised VENGEANCE for remembering, that MOREN was actually once called MORON - something he is trying to forget. VENGEANCE however shied away from any criticism or attack on the part of MOREN, hoping he could smooth-talk him into not thinking bad about his otherwise much respected publication. VENGEANCE wrote, he would wax MOREN'S back, if MOREN waxed cunt.. VENGEANCE'S back. A nice gesture, sure, but not one without consequence. MR.WAX was furious at the suggestion made by VENGEANCE, claiming that now everyone would associate his name with hairy backs - instead of a C64 cracker. "Just because VENGEANCE used to be a member of SUCCESS, and duing that time showered with them - and as a result caught a glimpse of their hairy backs - it does not mean, he should offer to wax it for them" said MR.WAX to WAR TV, while he was busy waxing his car. VENGEANCE refused to comment on the statement made by MR.WAX, claiming he was in bed with a mild case of inspiration. "Don't worry. I'll shake it before the 30TH edition of VANDALISM NEWS" he promised. HITMEN MAKES A LEGAL HIT... ________________________________________ HITMEN has put a contract out on the legal market, in an attempt to release another fresh demo. In a show in PARIS, CURLIN revealed the coders, graphicians and musicians on the catwalk - to the amazement of the audience of drunken sailors. CURLIN was very optimistic about his winter line-up claiming it only needed CINDY CRAWFORD to put a true smile on his face. "We'll also be out with an intro collection, so a lot is in the waiting from us" stated CURLIN, while being photographed by an old lady working for PLAYSCENER magazine. cunt.. The demo in question will be called THE SICK PARK, subtitled THE LOST SCENE. This particular demo will feature massive graphical demonstrations by HITMEN in the form of various pictures of CURLIN puking his guts out. "It's real cool! We've got pictures of me puking after drinking beer, vodka, gin, soda, everything. Compare the results and win prices!" said CURLIN to the appalled press. \/** **\/** **\/** **\/** **\/** ** \/**\/ \/**\/ \/**\/ \/**\/ \/**\/ -Meanwhile at the house of VENGEANCE..

Now, here he is, your favourite host - POWERPLANT! (Scattered applause) PWP: Hello again, my fan. Thank you for all the positive response, you have given me. This time, I am going to conduct a conversation with myself. I hope you will find it interesting and worth the read. Here we go, switch that page to get cracking.. cunt.. PWP: Hello there. PWP: Hi! PWP: So, what's it like writing for PROPAGANDA? PWP: I don't write for PROPAGANDA!? PWP: Yes, you do! PWP: No, I don't! PWP: Aren't you POWERPLANT? PWP: No.. No, I'm not. PWP: Really? Who are you then? cunt.. PWP: I'm just an editor impersonating POWERPLANT. PWP: Oh.. Nice to meet you! PWP: Nice to meet you too. PWP: So, tell me about yourself. PWP: I can't.. PWP: Why not? PWP: I've gotta go write the next story for THE SCENE SHOW!! PROPAGANDA - To The Faithful Departed - ______________________________ This page is currently inactive.. Please come back later.. FARTING IN THE WIND FOR RAMIREZ... ________________________________________ The infamous member of ONSLAUGHT, RAMIREZ, has decided to leave his beloved group - and also the scene. The reason for his decision is an ISDN phone-line, not enabling him to call out. "ONSLAUGHT however have made plans to make a farewell CD, trying to bring in enough cash to buy RAMIREZ a new phone-line" said JAZZCAT to MO MONEY magazine. The CD, which will be named "FARTING IN THE WIND" sounds much like the ELTON JOHN tribute to PRINCESS DIANA - which of course was called "CANDLE IN THE WIND." cunt.. JAZZCAT did not seem to care, and stated "It's all about bringing RAMIREZ back - so who cares, what it sounds like?". Although the project seem to be a beautiful gesture, some claim the money will not go to RAMIREZ - but instead the DINGO HATING FEDERATION, which is run and managed by JAZZCAT. "So what? One dollar means one less dingo. One less dingo means one happy JAZZCAT!!" said JAZZCAT to the appalled press. A CELEBRATION IS IN ORDER A CELEBRATION IS IN ORDER... ____________________________ The text you have just read marks our one hundreds joke about JAZZCAT and his supposed hate for dingos. Well done!! LEGEND CAUSES PANIC ON THE STOCKMARKET.. ________________________________________ The world stood at a halt late in October, as the stockmarkets world-wide went crazy. A poor closing in KING HONG KONG triggered the bad vibrations, which resulted in major losses around the world for stock holders. Reasons for the trouble seem to be unknown just yet, but another rumour claim it is LEGEND, who is to blame, as they were trying to divide LEGEND into stocks - and then sell them at very low prices. "We were trying to raise money, so we could supply POWERPLANT with games" cunt.. stated WBSTBAM to CNN. MANIAC is rumoured to have been the biggest purchaser of LEGEND stocks, and this may mean he will soon be taking over LEGEND - becoming the sole owner. According to friends of MANIAC, he is still in love with the legendary group, and this seemed to be the only way, he could every hope to get close to it again. We won't keep you updated! \/** **\/** **\/** **\/** **\/** ** \/**\/ \/**\/ \/**\/ \/**\/ \/**\/ -Meanwhile at the house of Alpha Flight!

BE THERE!! GREGO SENTENCED TO THE CHAIR... ________________________________________ The TEXAS member of MOTIV 8, GREGO, was recently said to be leaving the scene - and as a result, his board, IN LIVING COLOR, would never go back online. The reasons, why he made this decision, remained unknown - till now! According to LIFE-TIME magazine, GREGO was caught stealing a pen at work, and as a consequence was sentenced to death. Some might find this to be somewhat of a harsh sentence, but in TEXAS, the laws are very strict, and as a result all TEXAS citizens are awating to be executed before the year 2OOO. Leader of MOTIV 8, CROSSFIRE, was appalled at the cunt.. news of the death sentence. "I mean, really. But, okay. Had it been me, he'd stolen that pen from, I'd probably have fried him myself" admitted CROSSFIRE to a passing duck in the downtown area of MUNDELSTRUP CITY. Meanwhile CROSSFIRE is planning to bring back his own board, as an attempt to make up for the loss of IN LIVING COLOR. According to CROSSFIRE, he will rename his old board into IN BLACK AND WHITE. PROPAGANDA - Automatic For The People - ______________________________ THE ALPHA FLIGHT IS DELAYED... ________________________________________ ALPHA FLIGHT is suffering from a mild case of jetlag, claimed MARC on THE TOO LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERBOX. The GERMAN based group, which has been criticised for not being active enough in the recent months, has apparently had trouble with the German flight agency - who refused to let them use any of the European runways. "That, and then also the stuff with JOHN DENVER scared the hell out of all of us!" said MARC to MEAN-SCENE-BEAN magazine. cunt.. ALPHA FLIGHT also suffered heavy injuries, as STYX and HERETIC recently crashed, trying to fly overseas to the American boards - and as a result, they will be out of action for the next few centuries. "Don't worry. When we get us a couple of new motors, we will be flying where no man has ever flown before" said MARC, before walking home on foot. +------------------------------------+ | - MEET THE PRESS - | | | |Be sure to check out MEET THE PRESS,| | the chapter, that covers all about | | the magazines in the C64 scene! | +------------------------------------+ +C---------T------G----+ -|CHOTAIRES TRAVEL GUIDE|- +----------------------+ CHOTAIRE is known for traveling around the world, lately having lived in CHILE and KUWAIT.

SCENERS COME OUT OF THE CLOSET... ________________________________________ As most of the world probably already know, the much loved character and actor of the ELLEN show, ELLEN DEGENERES, chose to reveal her true sexual identity as a fullfleshed lesbian. A lot of talk and debate followed her choice of coming out of the closet, but most importantly, it has become popular admitting ones darkest secrets. The scene and its population was no different. JACK ALIEN admitted on a press conference, he once preferred water instead of beer - however, this only happened once, he underlined. cunt.. BOD also admitted a dark secret. He once looked at a girls breasts for a couple of seconds, and on top of that, he also once smoked a cigarette - but claim he did not inhale. "As a result, I was sick for weeks after!" said BOD to the wondering press. In the wake of all these revelations, support groups are popping up everywhere. Also the editor of the text, you are currently reading, DUKE, had to admit a horrible truth. "I once read some of my own text, and just like BOD, I was sick for weeks after!" said DUKE, who is currently being treated at EDITORS ANONYMOYS - a support group for magazine editors. cunt.. The moral of this story is, if you have a dark secret hidden deep down inside of you, just come out and reveal it to the world. Sure, everyone will hate you, point fingers at you and toss stones in your direction - but you will feel a whole lot better! +--------+ +--------+ | .. | | ** | | >< | | \/ | | **** | | **** | | * ** * | | * ** * | $1.99 | ** | | ** | $1.99 | * * | | * * | | * * | | * * | | ** ** | | ** ** | |--------| |--------| | BEFORE | and | AFTER | +--------+ +-------++ ANTICHRIST IS THE SCENE... ________________________________________ A highly doubtful story recently developed in a PC magazine, and it seems a former C64 person is behind the whole mess. ANTICHRIST - also known as OMG - told the PC magazine, MS WORLD, he was absolutely sure, the C64 scene was dead and gone - and in fact had been for years already. ANTICHRIST claimed all characters, who had ever been part of the C64 scene, was in fact him - and that no one else had ever been a part of it. cunt.. He was questioned about EXCELL, SNACKY, POWERPLANT and BOD, and to these names, he had only the following to say; "Me, me, me and me. I'm everybody, and everybody is me". Whether or not we are all ANTICHRIST or ANTICHRIST is all of us remains to be seen, but ANTICHRIST was sure of one thing. "What can I say? I'm a chameleon." And yes, he also claimed to be the American scener, CHAMELEON. PROPAGANDA - Elegantly Wasted - ______________________ LAST WORDS FROM THE EDITOR... ________________________________________ No scener was harmed in the process of writing THE SCENE SHOW. Except perhaps for a couple of people, but that sort of goes without saying... The purpose of making THE SCENE SHOW is simply to have a bit of a laugh in a world, that tends to get far too serious for our own good. Oh, well.

Can you hear us through the walls? See you're running in circles. You just donned your concrete shoes. Do you think I can't hear ya? Come on send me down some clues. Is there anybody up there? Is there anybody up there, that cares at all? Is there anybody up there? Can you hear us through the walls? Down, down underground. And living in the shade. I can only take it, if you love me just the same. Jesus, maybe buddah. Maybe even God is me. Looking for an exit, but you are hidding all the keys. And I've made it to the graveyard. The last place I'll get stoned. Will you be there? Or are we on our own? Is there anybody up there? Is there anybody up there, that cares at all? Is there anybody up there?
