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...
