Hooray.. Tomorrow is my Birthday.. (The 19th). I am now 1 :: :: year older.. And am I 1 year wiser ?? I don't think so.. After all, :: :: what does a birthday signify ?? Live ?? Liberation ?? Freedom ?? a :: :: chance for everyone you know (including yourself) to get totally :: :: blind rotten drunk ?? Well.. I think it is a bit of all... I believe :: :: that instead of worshiping fake religious holidays, (or as these days :: :: superfical), in which you have to buy crap for people you don't even :: :: like, (al la next week).. I think you should rather celebrate your :: :: birthday instead.. as it is more inportant than any other day of the :: :: year. This offcourse dosn't mean that you can't get drunk at the :: :: "superfical days" (ie, next week) :). Basically what I am saying.. is :: :: to keep partying on dude!!.. and over the upcoming Christmas break/ :: :: Holiday... Don't buy anyone anything for Christmas (If you think :: :: about it.. What is the point??.. Just a massive waste of Money).. and :: :: just get drunk and/or stoned (Whatever is your preference).. :) :: :: :: :: Also turning 1 Year older, It makes me revise my life.. What and Why :: :: am doing this ?? (I mean mucking about with the Amiga, and it's :: :: "underground culture".) Well I don't know.. It just seems routine now :: :: (And after 165 issues of Devious Tools.... No Wonder).. Also over the :: :: last few years, the scene (illegal and legal) has been slowly :: :: getting smaller and smaller.. The days are past when there was real :: :: fun in waiting to get something in the mail which you were after from :: :: a contact from overseas.. Or spending heaps of $$$ and time in :: :: writting to 20 people from the contact pages from heaps of magazines, :: :: and be happy that you actually recieve 2 replies. Those were the days :: :: ... So what went wrong ?? Well, basically, Internet killed the mail :: :: swapper, as you can get stuff now quicker and faster then ever before :: :: and there is no friendship (par a few instances) left in the scene :: :: like the old days. Now it seems like that egos rule.. Escpecially :: :: in the Warez scene.. Thru the spreading of misinformation, and other :: :: various nasty things.. This is not what the scene is for.. the scene :: :: is here for fun.. There are only a minority (mainly 1 person - and :: :: you all should know who it is !! ).. and this minority is making the :: :: scene die faster.. As they are fucking everyone up.. So that those :: :: people who are affected are disfranchised from continuing. This is :: :: a sad state for the scene.. The Scene CAN NOT tolerate any loosers :: :: who have a detremental effect on the scene.. The scene should shun :: :: these troublemakers away. As face it, I really would like to enjoy :: :: the last few years of the scene, and not be subjected to idiots who :: :: have massive egos (althrough they are pathetic people), and like to :: :: distrupt everyone else, and act like that there 10 years old. I :: :: hope people have the guts to tell these people to shut up and get :: :: fucked.. Althrough this may mean that the troublemakers have a little :: :: two-year-old tantrum.. So be it.. We have to get rid of these :: :: trouble makers and make the scene fun again.. Have the scene unity :: :: feel.. and NOT disunity.. as disunity only will result in a downward :: :: spiral for the amiga scene into oblivion.. How to make the scene :: :: fun again ?? (besides to get rid of those nasty troublemakers). Well :: :: that is impossible to answer.. I think it is all personel here.. If :: :: you like drawing pictures, or making music, or even code, i think :: :: what you should do to follow your talents.. Keep trying to get :: :: recognized, and try to have your production out in the public arena. :: :: This is what the scene orignally was like.. Everyone trying to be :: :: better then the last.. People presenting unique ideas. People mostly :: :: having fun.. It is now into your hand.. if your in a group.. make :: :: sure that you try to organise something to be released, or an idea :: :: that you think will make the scene more fun. Do It.. And if you're :: :: not in a group, try to join one, or start your own, and start :: :: producing.. This way.. there might be a few more good years in the :: :: scene left.. Anyway.. keep having fun.. :: :: :: :: Back to noral dribble.. I wish to thank Hexagon/CPU for the file id :: :: logo.. Hopefully we'll have a prober .nfo file hey Hexagon :) Also, :: :: watch out for next issue, as it'll contain the usual annual Christmas :: :: Story/Thoughts.. :) .. Also I hope to have the offical Trip WWW :: :: page up by Christmas.. Stay tuned for URL .. :) :: :: :: :: Now, this is your bit.. We in Trip are after more members (please, :: :: no traders) .. If you can Code, or make Music, or even Draw, please :: :: email me at hweight@iinet.net.au ... Do it now :) :: :: :: :: Also, for the plebes who don't know... Wizpal has now gone all :: :: private passwords/account on the FTP Side.. To get your own account, :: :: just email jgerman@paonline.com with your details. :: :: :: :: ____________________________________________________________________ :: :: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ :: :: The Release Chart :- :: :: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ :: :: This weeks releases :- :: :: :: :: Group | # Releases :: :: ------------------------|----------- :: :: Animators............... 2 :: :: Crosspoint.............. 1 :: :: Faith................... 1 :: :: Scumbags................ 1 :: :: :: :: So, after 20 issues of polling, the releases are:- :: :: :: :: Group |# Releases :: :: -------------------------|---------- :: :: Animators............... | 2 :: :: Area 51................. | 2 :: :: Broken.................. | 4 :: :: Cannabis................ | 2 :: :: Crest................... | 3 :: :: Crimson Jihad........... | 2 :: :: Crosspoint.............. | 9 :: :: Damones................. | 1 :: :: Digital Corruption...... | 30 :: :: Faction................. | 6 :: :: Faith................... | 16 :: :: Hellfire................ | 5 :: :: Highlight & Resistance.. | 25 :: :: Hot..................... | 3 :: :: Lightforce.............. | 2 :: :: LSD..................... | 1 :: :: Low Atmosphere Expirence | 2 :: :: Overdose................ | 5 :: :: Rampage................. | 8 :: :: Scumbags................ | 26 :: :: Shelter................. | 1 :: :: The Binary Foundation... | 4 :: :: TRSI.................... | 1 :: :: X-Trek.................. | 34 :: :: :: :: ____________________________________________________________________ :: :: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ :: :: This Issue's Contents :- :: :: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ :: :: :: :: AWeb 2 - Make Spoof Like Internet Explorer - v0.04 (ATS) :: :: HD Install Tools v6.6a :: :: Music Man III - Crack Patch (SCB) :: :: Scan Tek v3.4 (FTH) :: :: STRICQ v0.1173 :: :: Swipe v1.183 :: :: Turboprint v7.01 Update :: :: Virus Checker II v1.10 (CP) :: :: Virus Executioner v1.81a :: :: Web FX v2.20 (ATS) :: :: :: :: ____________________________________________________________________ :: :: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ :: :: ĝĝĝ Trip Members ĝĝĝ :: :: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ :: :: The Heavyweight -- Mutant Gumby -- The Wizard -- Vermillion -- :: :: Homer J -- Terminator -- Amibug :: :: ..
