█▓▒░ Greetings, All! ░▒▓█
I bring to your attention a brief overview of the subject, to evaluate the whole
his awesomeness...
Prelude:
12:00, Voskhod cinema:
there is a crowd of people on the street, entertaining themselves as best they can,
a couple of reporters are scurrying here and there... The organizers are not visible.
There are no announcements about what is happening SS'000...
It turns out that the start was postponed to 13:00, we are standing and waiting.
At about an hour the crowd begins to break down the doors from the front of the line
is heard “- And it’s still closed!!!”Okay, let's wait some more. Organizers make their way through the crowd with
computers/monitors and so on, the question arises - what, before
Wasn’t it fate to prepare everything???
We stand, chat, drink beer. Along the way to the guy with the video camera
a couple of drunken cops pour into the drum, and the cops seem to
during execution... 8-( * ) A woman is in the same condition with them,
about 40 years old, and through what she is wearing, very openly
hanging breasts stick out.
Obviously, the attention of those present was attracted by this incident.
The cop got to the guy: "- Erase the film, otherwise I'm here now
I’ll plant-oo-oo-oo!!!”, the woman decided not to stay on the sidelines, and
got to the bottom of poor Welcom about the fact that he “hit” her...
The situation was heating up, there were already whispers of “They’re beating our people,” but the cop
They pulled me aside, everything calmed down, and then they let me in!!!
Action:
At the entrance they charge 60 rubles, and there are no tickets for
definition - they put a stamp "SS'000" on the hand, apparently
the organizers believe that spektrumists wash once a year, therefore
The stamp will last two days and will not be erased.
We go inside - apparently, the room is undergoing renovation: heaps of
trash, fresh paint on the walls, etc. We entered the hall - everything seems to be
normal, but there’s not a single sign about what’s happening
there is no event... (later someone was crawling on a stepladder,
trying to hang something, but was drunk and nothing came of it - butat least the room was amused). A bundle of wires hangs across the entire hall to
speakers, the bulk of the wires hangs right in the center
first row, very pleasing to the eye.
Well, everyone is seated, it has begun... They announce from the stage:
Wait, half an hour, we'll get everything sorted out, but for now
look at "cool new Amiga demos!!!" for warming up...
They turn on the demo, but not on the Amiga, but on the Commador, and 97
years and very cool, and for some reason the sound only plays from
computer speakers... After about five minutes the organizers guessed
put the microphone next to the computer...
Well, for about half an hour we discuss what we saw in
Spec's demos, then it gets boring and people slowly
spreading.
The light suddenly turns on and a man comes onto the stage
announces that the cops have come after them, and we are all in danger
a night in the bullpen if we have a lot of fun... That is
the organizers did not agree with the local authorities in advance,
therefore, if anything happens, then let us sort it all out...
After hitting the organizers "Spectrum come on!" people come out
announces that now there will be converted music for the AU, floor
Zala gets up and simply leaves. We listen to music... Only two are playing
speakers from all the hanging ones... After the third Mouzon I really want
sleep, let's go outside.
There are two main groups on the street: Organizers + reporters (by the way,
they spent most of the time there, so wait for the reportnot about CC, but about its organizers...); A little further away are those
who didn’t have the money to enter, and cheerfully fermented vodka.
After talking, we return to the hall, the music is still playing. If not
look at the song number, you might think that it is still
the same melody is playing... The hall is sleeping. A boy is running along the rows
from Voronezh, who brought the graphics, wakes everyone up and hands out scraps
voting papers, because the organizers didn’t bother
print voting forms (although prices were printed
immeasurably), and also the “organizers” did not bother to organize
the voting process itself (i.e., distributing/collecting papers).
Since the lights are not on, and it is not known in what order they are turned on
strobes and ultraviolet lamps do little to promote good
Apparently, it’s problematic to write anything... But we’re trying.
Hurray!!!!!!!!!! It's over, break, let's go have a beer. On
on the street Khatsker and his comrades explain the essence to passers-by
what's happening, passers-by nod understandingly...
Organizers and reporters cluster separately.
The display of graphics begins - Katrinka rules, they are very invigorating,
the mood lifts a little.
Another break, more beer...
Once again Mouzon, also left, the speakers also don’t work, the audience is asleep
again, the light goes out/on randomly, it’s very annoying...
The organizers have their microphone turned off, so they are screaming like this, live.
Break, people go and smoke, yawning. On the street the picture is not
changing...512 demos that no one tested beforehand, therefore
every time before starting "usr 0", and some not at all
are starting...
The hall is invigorated by one of the demos, the essence of which lies in the looping
intercourse with wire graphics... The demo will be disqualified...
In the hall they shout mockingly, “We don’t believe that THIS can be done in
512!!!”, someone from the front rows climbs to hit the screaming people in the face,
they put him in his place...
Break, everything is the same as during other breaks...
4 to Demo, again something doesn’t work, again problems with sound/light,
the prector is crooked, but a couple of demos are very good, although about
the end/beginning of the demo is funny to say, just effects, even without
cleaning the screen...
From the stage, straining their vocal cords, they shout that after the break
They will show 10 steering wheel demos.
Break, on the street they tell the cops about the SS... the cops don’t
they get it...
Demo, 7 pieces, 1 did not work, because again no one tested.
The demos have no beginning/end, the overall impression is something chunky
rotates in every possible way against the background of a chunky something, or flies into
chunky infinity... Although one of the demos is okay, with different
effects and logically completed, the rest - in pieces and
contain a pair of effects chunks/attributes...
Although Mouzon is much better than in the "Music" category.
There are problems with the sound again, it plays very quietly and mono...
They are shouting on stage that it’s time for a break and then the bosses
demos!!!
Break...They play a demo, but the organizers have finally returned to the hall, and
they want to sell T-shirts with a tiny inscription "SS'000", and
not just like that, but to organize an auction... Moreover, there are 15 T-shirts...
Bidding is announced: T-shirts sold for 120 rubles...
Moreover, at the beginning of the auction there was a phrase:
“Either everyone listens to me, or they leave,” which
testified to the amazing self-confidence of the comrade...
The lights go out, then come back on. NEMO crawls onto the stage,
and the projector is running, the following text appears on the screen:
10 PRINT "Nemo SUX", second confusion, then GOTO 1,
[ENTER], with Nemo standing with his back to the screen and not turning on,
why is the audience crawling through the aisles with laughter... What follows is the speech
about how caring he is, Nemo, and how cheap he will sell to everyone
for those who want to practice right here in the hall...
What follows is a small advertisement from Ivan Mak about the computer
"Sprinter", which no one can hear, since there is no microphone, and
doesn’t listen, everyone is outraged by the bidding... It’s a pity, because
the only thing worthy of attention was the description
computer capabilities...
Then the lights go out again, turn on again, again on stage
T-shirts, now there’s one thing, and to get it, you have to “strongly
try"... The "disco" begins, or rather the Mapet show,
The winner gets the desired jersey...
Finally, three more demos, 2 of which don’t work...
While watching the demos, an interesting thing becomes clear -it turns out that the pictures shown earlier and the effects in the 4k demo
were simply torn from the Demos. Moreover, the demos are completely
Mazday, again chunks/attributes, again a couple of effects on
demo, again there is no logical beginning/end of the demo, etc.
The average duration of a demo is 3 minutes, with the exception of
malicious madness, which was interrupted at the request of the audience.
Final:
The Spectrum demo is being moved to the beginning of the second day. People,
spitting and swearing, he goes to drink vodka.
Observations along the way:
Someone arrived at the SS in a white limousine, someone sat quietly
and replicated the discs, which someone would then sell to Uncle Misha
talked to all the SS with reporters, but not one of these goflans
took care of the normal organization of the event!!!
It’s especially annoying for the guys from other cities, how much money they have
got into this trip, and what kind of madness they got in
in the end!!! It’s also a shame for my hometown, which has seriously screwed up
in the eyes of visitors, and it’s VERY OFFENSE FOR THE SPECTRUM, which is in
once again screwed up with clumsy hands and brains!!!
I didn’t go on the second day. Even if they gave me money, not
I would have gone anyway.
I take this opportunity to say hello to the organizers, in the form of
the extended middle finger of the high raised right hand.
Also warm regards to the guy who secretly copied
programs with SS. According to available information, this guy also leaks
progs from the net, and then pushes Uncle Misha... Hello,good guy!!!
That's all, bye.

Hello, Marianna!

MA> Well, so what. For example, I don’t regret that I went.
And I don’t regret that you went! What a coincidence, huh? ;)
With best wishes, Vladimir.
