Ok, demoscene talk given! I'll post a video when I get one (They recorded it. We'll see if they decide to splice in my slides or what. I'll do it, if not.) It went smoothly, though the speakers they dug up for me were of the humorously tiny variety that usually go with computers. The Q+A went on for a little longer than expected, half an hour

yay outreach

Where was this? Uni kids?

MS has a retro game enthusiasts group, the serious kind that sets up working vectrex and famicom and virtual boy systems and talks about how their collection is 99% complete but the one guy on ebay with the one copy of the terrible game they need won't let it go for less than $600.
Anyway, one of the things they liked to do was watch old demos on working hardware, like ancient amiga and C64 things.
I showed them some textmode demos.

This happened at the Seattle office of Frog Design. They're a good audience for it, focused as they are on inventing the immediate future. (That is, the future that we already have all the stuff to make, but just have to realize it. Demoish, eh?)

I had to omit vast swaths of the demoscene out of necessity, so I barely covered oldschool. It came up in the Q&A, though!
