"You kind of have to give up something to have something great."
I watched Indie Game: The Movie some days ago, and I'm ambivalent. The movie is spotlessly well done, and deserves the praise and awards it gets and will quite obviously get, so do buy it and watch it now. But you have to be aware of the flipside ( Read more... ) -
"High times are courageous, but in truth they suit no purpose"
I had a distinct feeling that things are going to get better soon. It was as if suddenly all the things I've been working on have been setting themselves into motion. I added stuff to my engine, I resumed projects, I finished and released stuff, got in contact with helping hands. On the way to football I even saw a rainbow. I don't even know when I ( Read more... ) -
"It is sickening to see dreams die - A word of advice, fate's patience is growning short..."
So Revision again. Let's get the good stuff out of the way first: The German easter party is still exactly as amazing as it ever been, the organizers are competent, the people are fantastic, and the infrastructure just gets better and better every year. Minus a few competition-organizing fuckups involving disqualifications, the party was near ( Read more... ) -
"Travelling somewhere, could be anywhere..."
Yesterday, last.fm asked me if I wanted to do a survey about my online music experience. I said sure, why not. I don't normally do this, but hey.
The last question was a textbox asking for an example where music changed my life. I took a deep breath and left the box empty. -
"Always had a lot of things to do..."
I wonder when did demomaking spin around.
When I started making my first demo, I looked at other demos as an example and thought "Hmm. While I have no idea how most of this stuff works at the moment, I have a pretty good idea where to find out." The actual content itself was almost like an afterthought: Effects need textures, 3D engines need ( Read more... ) -
"Suddenly you succumb to impatience, and surrender..."
XII. Remote ControlI think I was around 13-14 when someone casually mentioned that one of the community houses in Miskolc is hosting a model-making group. Not the miniature kind, the slightly larger, functional kind. The thought alone blew a hole in my brain: making little vehicles that can function properly? I mean I built model kits before, but I ( Read more... ) -
"I am too scared to close my eyes..."
Towards the end of 2008, I was full of hopes about 2009.
In 2009, I had high hopes for 2010.
In 2010, I was looking forward to 2011.
Now it's less than two weeks left of 2011, and all I feel is fear, uncertainty and doubt about 2012. -
"Absolutely no chance for y'all to advance"
Around the age of 16, I was introduced to gabber pretty much by accident; I think it was one of those magazine CD bundles which had a load of XM's, and when I showed it to a dude in school, he explained what this genre was, the culture behind it, and I slowly became interested enough to listen to Thunderdome compilations. Over the years, as the ( Read more... ) -
"Forming clouds, their shadow shrouds, louder the tattered wings they sound, descending down"
Whenever someone has tried to get me to give a straight answer to whether Function will happen in 2012, I avoided giving a yes/no, and consistently referred to it as "if it happens" instead of "when". And there are plenty of reasons for this ( Read more... ) -
"The heart collector has sang..."
I think, in the light of the events today, I owe several people apologies; largely for unkept words as a result of the shameless bravado we're equipped with when hungry for something we relished on for so long ( Read more... )
