lemon 64
hey guys - ive been checking out old c64 stuff on the net and i dont know if you realised there is another website called lemon 64 quite similar to this one. its miles better than this site, much more info on it and better discussions. you should try it out if you have never been there. its www.lemon64.com i cant imagine there are many people who actually use this once they have discovered lemon64 |

useless.

rubish.

the main problem may be that neither one nor 73 words seem to change either your behavior nor your point of view.
It all ends in: demos are boring, gamers are better then demo-watchers, gamers may be even better then demo-producers.
I hope this is just a small attempt of a flame-war. If it is not, i really don't get what's wrong with you.
*sigh*

Over the years I learned to be tactful, but you asked for it.
You lost!
Game over.
Try again.

sorry mate, although you was very close, this were more then one word words.
This discussion was quite amusing in the beginning, but i really must say that it becomes boring.
-noone evere said that demo-watching has to be fun for everyone.
-noone ever said that gamers are generally stupid.
-noone ever said that watching demos is more productive then playing games (and vice versa ain't true too, or can you tell me the result of playing 2 hours turrican or watching deus ex for 13 times.)
-noone can disagree to the fact that producing demos or games for the c64 has more value then playing (old) ones (although it is right that the producers may be not that glad if there wouldn't be an audience).

hmm, among the first demos i saw where budbrain megademo, red sector megademo and giants megademo on amiga. i only liked budbrain megademo because of all the humour in it, i couldnt see anything interesting about the other demos that were more focused on code. so i can perfectly understand those who dont see anything interesting about demos.
even after getting used to demos i find most of them boring, and quite a few on the top ten makes me go yawn.
however there are some demos that i really enjoy watching, that gives me some sort of emotions.
and in my eyes hardly any demos qualify as art |

Yup. Most demos are too technical or too mathematical, but as with music. Some people like classic, some jazz and some techno. Still I hope that few more demos with potential to entertain general population will be released in future ;-) (maybe by guys who invented the scene? ;-) |

agreed, but still there are some treasures "hidden" around.
Just think about some of triad or fairlight demos. The kind-of-slideshow-demos like digital magic and krestology (will i be killed for this? :) ).
Or demos that try to express some feeling or a special kind of view (triad /fairlight again, also last reactor..).
One problem may be that most demos do not really hold to this but soon fall back to the fx-thing.
It's not that i do not like those fx, but sometimes they do not fit and it makes me wonder if the demo wouldn't be "better" if it would have been taken out or just put into it in a more theme-orientated way.

What's the point of wasting time watching demos?
What's the point of wasting time playing games?
What's the point of wasting time wondering why other people waste time on things you would never waste time on?
Damn, I should do a demo on this theme.
Oops, seems I already did.
Stop wondering, move on, you'll never understand. |
