| I was so free to ad graphics credits for Hardsequencer and me (logos in the prefaces), seems they had been forgotten somehow. Otherwise: neat mag, nothing more to say - great that we still get releases like that! |

| Rambones: I agree with you on the controls definitely. Keep it simple. However new outfit should have keyboard and joystick controls. As some guys like to sit back in their armchair to read. ;) |

>jammer: controls are as unresponsive and rigid as in every previous vn, especially switching to options :P
get rid of those controls, i never use them, who does ?
who prints pages on a C64 printer ?
who goes does a pagejump from 5 to 17/25 ?
and so on.
none of it has any use, its 90s technical blabla coderporn, of no use at all.
kb controlled mag, ftw!
when pressing F1 to load new music, it can display the composer: tune name on screen for like 5 secs, or keep it in lower right corner forever..
i always hated joystick controlled programs.
joystick is for games only!
remove the whole menu system in the bottom, and just use cursor keys for all, and F1/F3 for music. |

| Steppe: Change disks in the main menu. It's a bug with the 1541U. |
User Comment
Submitted by Steppe on 3 February 2009
What I've read so far looks great. Some of the tunes are awesome - some are rather average. The graphics make my eyeballs pop out, übergut!
Now if someone could please give me a hint how that damn loader doesn't crash every goddamn time when changing disks in my 1541U??? Rule 1: A diskmag has to be read on a real C64 to capture the spirit! |

shame I didnt finish my article in time, maybe save it for a future recol? ;)
about the mag, I dunno, but is that proportional font new as well? best font in a mag since ever.
awesome gfx as usual from joe and conrad's tune is pure ownage, if I was a composer, I would make conrad's tunes. keep it up.
and then the text, holy crap, its too much! ;) haven't read all of it, but Stan's report was fun, drink less to remember more lol.
also almost getting an award heh, no really, nice of you to mention the X org, but I totally agree, the award belongs to eod/booze.
PS: conrad's tune *really* rules |

| The layout and style reminds me of the old amiga mag ROM. (which for those who dont know it, it was either the 1st or 2nd best Amiga mag of all time, in my opinion) :) |

| The Scene is constantly evolving, at a pace that is almost exponential. Vandalism 50 is the most impressive Diskmag I have ever seen. Diskmag technology has come a long way since Mamba. You can expect that #51 will be close to perfection :) |

| Disk Magazine technology has dramatically evolved. The standard for mags back in the day was Mamba. Vandalism looks like it was created on an Amiga. Brilliant :) |

The intro gfx...
Is it wired and repainted, or original gfx by Joe ?
Is it some robot arms ?
What is the background of these pics ?
It seems rather industrial in effect, but somehow cool - the music fits the pics (nice 1995ish techno tune by Leming)

The last part of the hidden chapter, the Moloch/Shadow thing..
It's like being back in 1987 man!
It's 100% like some old scroller in a TST demo :-) for example Hysteric or Vendetta, mwahahahaha!
Long live the spirit!!! |

Rambones: if you check the goof section, where such comments should go, you'll notice I've already included that bug there, even before the download link was available. :)
Choose the tunes manually and there is no problem.
Ian: thanks and fixed! strange I missed something so obvious! We also fixed the minor bug with chars disappearing from main menu chapter names. :)

BUG: when changing music on the mini awards, it asks for a new disk, and music stops.
Nomatter what disk you insert, it does not go on, loading music.
You can still read the chapter, but not continue the mag.
This happened after reading the whole mag continuously, and changing music as i prefer.
I used F1 to change music, and would have expected the first tune to be loaded, since i was currently listening to Jammer's tune, which is the last in the list.

FINALLY A NEW ISSUE! Had a great time reading; didn't read everything. Focus, lacking? Ed certainly had some interesting things to say. Saving soundemon's article for later, along with the party reports. Why is it that you, as a reader, mostly care about reports about parties you were to yourself? Are we all so self-indulgent, or do we just savor the familiarity?
I love you guys, but four disksides is perhaps a tad too much. :-) Still miss the reviews from issue #45. |

All: thanks for your patience with this one! It took us a while, but we got there!
2F: Thanks for your comments, especially picking up the interview bug, glad it left an impression and possibly motivated you also. :)
As much as I love constructive critique, I disagree on most points.
World of Demos & The Awards - both contain reviews. Both have different backgrounds and goals, thus they have to be separate to maintain their purpose.
X2008 report/news is featured in different sections of the mag due to the magnitude of the party. The size of the magazine allows us to have many angles from many editors in many chapters (and this issue's size is a one-off). Rolling them all together is technically impossible. This isn't a disk note. :)

| I have skimmed for an hour now, and I think this is excellent. I will edit this post to something more specific when I have had the time to transfer this to floppy, immerse myself in a hot foamy tub with a glass of champagne and to switch on my c64 for a thorough read. |

Very nice to see a new issue of the VN magazine, but the critique I have added for earlier issues goes for this one aswell. The magazine is very well made, but it is quite hard to get a grasp of it - the information and discussion about f.ex X'08 is spread over several chapters instead of keeping it in one. The same demos are mentioned, discussed and reviewed on several occations in several different chapters - and why is not the interview with Ian Coog added as an interview chapter? All in all, it feels like some editing/compiling and direction is needed if you intend to push out a big issue like this. Do note that the above problem never would have occured if the mag would've been smaller.
Yeah, and Ed's reviews feels more like a summary of the general direction of all the C-64 releases since last issue, which it probably is intended to be. It's time to resurrect NSR.
Nevertheless, I always love The Headline News, The List, The Opinionated chapters and a lot of other small odds and ends. Great work, fellows! |
