ahh.. gamers from gamefaqs.com
"If you know what a demoscene is, buy it."
"Oh well bought it about 5mins after I posted this topic and I definately didnt like it. Even as a demoscene, it looks like a poorly made high school project." ... "I'm mad Sony threw some trophies on it so they could make money off us."
yes, linger in shadows definitely is a demoscene :)
Also, WHY?
Funny: Demoscenes are primarily cpu based vids, coded in insanely small bits, usually under 100Kbytes yes, kilobytes.
Interesting, they connect it with NKS.

But all the wrong definition is scary. Ahhhhh!!!
Anyways, I stop here. If you search for "demoscenes" in google you will find a lot of hilarious, wrong and scary stuff :P

More demoscenes
I'll be writing a column about these for maa.org. Jason is exactly right. These fantastically compressed movies are basically rules and programs to exploit those rules.
In the attached 82K file are 8 demoscenes. All are for Windows systems, though there are demoscenes for all other systems, especially Commodore 64 and Amiga.
The first category -- 256 bytes
Lattice -- a camera inside a crystal lattice
Spin -- a flying Sierpinski gasket on fire
Tube -- meshed 3D spirals.
Next category -- 4K programs
Cosmoblop -- Text rendition of the sun
saveme -- Mangled rolling cubes
Angeles-XP -- A very colorful city
micropolis -- city, train, and giant robot
I also include a 64K program, The
Prophecy. The space scenes, nature scenes, and city scenes are all quite spectacular.

FAKE! It's a small streaming app that downloads the stuff from a secret server farm on the internets.

Optimus, SHUT THE FUCK UP. kthxbye.
But why? The scene has a mainstream problem. :P
If I wasn't Optimus, would you still shut my fuck up?
The inflation of the Kilobyte. Thanks Optimus!
i keep reiterating the memory of sitting with optimus at the bad kreuznach train station, talking about various SANE things while waiting for the train, and wondering "this dude needs to be around more humans more often"
Optimus: To be honest yes, I would tell anyone being so frustrating to shut his fuck up. Why are you so obsessed that a handful of gamers would get us wrong? Why starve for the attention of such a not-so-target-audience of ours?
Just be what you are, do what you want to do, and call anything as you please. It is not our [i]mainstream problem[/] those people aren't even associated with the scene in the first place, at least most of them.

Ok, I am not exactly caring thaaaat much (the article was just a series of thoughts, I even state somewhere that maybe it's not that important). Maybe if some of them will join the scene they will learn. I just wanted to mention because it's either funny or interesting or boring or whatever..
And since the last five years more people in the scene have learned my bad side and tell me to shut the fuck up because of my nick. Oh well..
