\0 ...Oh no, it's that Raistlin's Message-Box thing again!... What did you do to
deserve this?!?
Yeah, that's right, I'm back for yet another issue of the revolutionary thang
"Raistlin's MessageBox"!... (that wasn't a spelling mistake!). I finally got to
see some of the other "messageboxes" on the market! Well well well.. It's nice
to think that I started off a craze!! (hehe)... So!, all you Message-Box haters
know who to complain to now, don't you!!!
This will be the last messagebox for at least two and a half months... I will
be at Sheffield University by the time you get this messagebox!! So if you want
to contact me, you should wait until I return on or around the 14th of December!
(1991 for any lamers who get this product from lame PD-suppliers!!!)
So without further ado, press the Right Cursor key to progress to the message
section!!!
\1\cMessages
\2 Mystik...
\0 Thanks a lot for doing me a new logo Alan! I'm not sure at the time of making
this Messagebox whether or not I will be using your logo... It depends whether I
can get it to work in Kreator's sourcecode!! (He will no doubt be back at Leeds
when I get the logo!)... Anyway, I am sure it will be cool! If you are going to
the Digital Party in October, I'll see you there!
\2 Marc Panther...
\0 Hi Marc! Maybe I can visit you someday in Manchester?? Well whatever, I'll
no doubt see you at the Digital Party!... Thanks for all the videos and warez!!!
Top notch as usual! Anyway!, I hope to see loads and loads of new Equinox stuff
in the near future!!
\2 Zarch...
\0 Yo Mick!, hope you had a great holiday! Will it be OK for me to visit you???
(While I'm at Uni).. Anyway!, thanks for all the cool sendings!.. Good luck with
the coding OK!
\2 Magic Mushroom...
\0 Hi Trevor!, sure you can visit us in Silsden!... Just give us a bit of notice
so that we can arrange everything! Please keep the Magic Packs coming, they are
very cool!
\2 Paradroid...
\0 Hey Barry, your SineIntro was pretty cool! Hope to see loads of intros and
such from you in the near future! Will you be visiting at the same time as Trev?
If not, phone me sometime and we can arrange a meeting! Anyway, I hope Devpac
version 2.15 was of help! I think it has some Macro functions debugged - that's
what Kreator told me anyway!
\2 Warlock...
\0 Hey lamebrain! You have a serious complex! Next time you phone me to slag
me off, try to get your facts straight! First, you are NOT a good coder! I've
seen intros written in BASIC better than yours! (NOTE TO READERS: Warlock is a
C64-only lamer)... That bullshit about you joining Triad was not in the least
believable! For one thing, you have never been and never will be in a group
that anyone has heard of!!! Phone me again and I will release your phone number
in this messagebox, telling everybody to slag YOU off!
\2 Nasty Boy...
\0 Hi pal, sorry for not giving you a message last issue!... Slipped my mind you
know... Anyway, thanks for all the hot warez etc! If you can copy me the videos
then I will give you blank tapes in exchange at the Digital Party! To find me,
just ask any of the Anarchy guys who I am! (Or the FLASH guys if they have found
me by that time!!)... I should be at the party for most of the day! Films I want
(in order of preference) are:- Young Guns II, Total Recall, The Fly II, The Fly.
So if you can copy what you can (trying not to waste tapes - ie. a 2hr film on a
3hr tape!!), then that'd be great!! Thanks!
\2 Hein Design...
\0 Yo Hein! Thanks for the greeting and messages in the Vision Mintro!! It's
great for something like that to pop up when you're not expecting it!! Anyway,
hope to hear from you again in the near future!
\2 Parasite...
\0 Hi Martin, thanks for all the cool and fast sendings! I'm looking forward to
seeing the newlook Grapevine! Should be cool! The only thing I didn't like about
the old Grapevine was the slow text-printing... Hope that'll be improved! Anyway
hope to meet you at the Digital Party!
\2 Andy...
\0 Hi mate!, thanks for contacting me! That School-Magazine was pretty funny!!!
Thanks for offering to copy me the videos! - I got loads of offers before yours
though, so why not send me a list of all the videos you have GOOD copies of and
I'll see if we can do business!!
\2 Bear...
\0 Yo Mark! I was told you didn't like what I said in Message-box 6!!! I don't
see why! (It was all true, right!!!) Anyway, I'll put the readers straight!...
Mark is NOT going out with a TWELVE YEAR OLD any longer... He was banned by the
kids dad!! OK Mark?!?
\2 Pioneer...
\0 Yo Henry!, hurry up with those Player Manager teams!! Anyway, good luck at
Durham Uni!
\2 Tomsk...
\0 Hi Phil, long time no see! (Probably cos you're such a workslave, but I won't
go into that again!)... See if you can get Henry to go to some parties and stuff
at Durham, OK! He wants to really, he just won't admit it... Well anyway, if
you manage to get Henry drunk, tell me about it! We (Kev and me) have tried many
a time and failed miserably!...
\2 Flash...
\0 Yo mate!, while I'm at Sheffield (from now till mid-December), how about you
collecting all the Vision Demos and Intros together and sending to me at the end
of my sentence? (Sorry, I mean Term!) (Or do I?!?) Anyway I'll write to you when
I get back! Thanks for all the cool packs etc!...
\2 Mr.Big...
\0 Hi John!, sorry you couldn't make it to Silsden this summer! Anyway, we can
meet at the Digital party this year... What amazing releases do Anarchy have for
this year?? Are they going to take the first prize this year, like you did two
years ago? (and sort of did last year!)... I guess so!...
\2 Mole...
\0 Yo Adrian! (Didn't Rocky Balboa say that once??) Hope you'll be coming to
the Digital party!... Hmm.. Good luck with your A-Levels etc! Do you know which
Uni's / Poly's you'll be applying to yet??
\2 The Pride...
\0 Good luck in Brainstorm mate!.. I will contact you when I get back from Uni,
and maybe we can do some swapping! Thanks for telling me about the situatiom in
Flash Productions! - I can't understand why you asked ME to take over leadership
though!.. I mean, I'd only been in the group a month, and I'm disappearing from
the scene for over two months next week!! But anyway, thanks for the offer!
\2 Gamma...
\0 Thanks for sending me the modules etc!.. I can't comment on them yet, because
I'm writing this text before I've even recieved them!! (But I have faith in you
anyway!).. Hope to hear loads more tunes from you in the near future!!
\2 Art Z...
\0 Thanks for writing back!... Sorry I can't swap with you just yet - I'm off to
Uni (how many times have I said that now???) and anyway, I had already gor most
of the stuff you sent me (Which you said in your letter was the latest stuff!)
\2 Banger...
\0 Sorry to hear you've stopped Mail-trading!... Anyway, at least you'll be able
to release my Messagebox onto the Boards for me! See you at the Digital party!
\2 Bustman...
\0 Thanks for replying!... Shame to hear you've stopped mail-trading! (Another
one!!!) Anyway, keep up the good work on the Eurochart!
\2 Facet...
\0 Hey, thanks for contacting me mate... We can do some serious swapping when I
return from Sheffield, OK??? Send me some samples of your GFX if you can - I like
collecting logos, fonts etc... Thanks...
OK!, that's all the messages for this month!! If I missed you out, don't cry
I probably just had a mind blockage or something!!! (????)
\1\cInterview
\0-R.. Hi Lamerboy!
-L.. Hi Raistlin sir!
-R.. Why don't you tell us something about yourself??
-L.. Well, my name is Lamerboy, I am not a member of any group at the moment cos
I keep getting kicked out of groups (nobody likes me). I am 14 years old, but
try to act like an 18 year old. I'm English. I code brilliant demos on the C64
and am hated by everybody simply because I'm so brilliant! I spend 16 hours a
day in front of my C64, and 8 hours sleeping.
-R.. Why do you think you are so cool?
-L.. Hey, I can get glitches on my demos which are larger and better than anyone
else! I have coded several world records, for example my last demo had 2 bobs
running at 25 frames per second AND they flicker! Who else has done that??
-R.. I see... Tell me, why do you change your computer name every week?
-L.. I change my name every week so that people won't recognise me and will swap
with me! I am thinking of buying an Amiga now because most swappers on the 64
know who I am now...
\0-R.. God help us... OK, do you ever go outside of your house??
-L.. No! I phone people up sometimes, does that count?!?
-R.. Not exactly. Why do you spend so long on your C64?
-L.. He's the only friend I have, except for Jim and Terry.
-R.. Who are they??
-L.. Jim's a kettle and Terry's a microwave... I call my C64 Henry if you wanted
to know!
-R.. Not really. You really are a lame little turd aren't you??? Tell me - how
did you become a member of the group "Genesis Project" on C64?
-L.. A guy called 3DK let me join for just 30 pounds!
-R.. But that guy was kicked out of Genesis Project himself due to lameness, did
you ask for your money back??
-L.. Yeah, course I did...
-R.. Did you get it??
-L.. No, but I got a nice parcel with some delicious squidgy brown stuff in.. It
looked and tasted like shit but I was assured by 3DK that it was just recycled
food... It's amazing what they can do with food these days!
-R.. Quite.. Now onto a far more serious matter. Why do you keep phoning me when
you know I hate the sound of your voice??
-L.. I enjoy telling people how cool I am, and how lame they are... Also I like
getting on your nerves because when you slag me off in your demos I get famous
and people phone me for a change!
\0-R.. Really?.. What sort of things do people say??
-L.. Mostly abusive things like "You F***ing lamer" and "You lame B***ard". It's
sad how people react when they're jealous, isn't it?!?
-R.. Hmm.. What group are you in at the moment??
-L.. Triad! They virtually begged me to join them, so how could I say no??
-R.. Oh... Triad, one of the main C64 groups at the moment asked YOU to join....
-L.. That's right!
-R.. Sure... Is there anything else you'd like to say before I hang up on you???
-L.. Yeah. I'd just like to apologize to all the cool groups like Phenomena, The
Silents, Anarchy, Scoopex etc. that begged me to join.. I don't have an Amiga
yet so won't join any of you yet... Also a special message to Dominators (C64
group) - Access or Visa, or do you want paying by cheque?
-R.. Well, Lamerboy, Warlock, or whatever you want to be called, hopefully this
interview will add a few hundred pounds to your phonebill... I was joking when
I said you had to phone me via Australia you know, such a telephone-protection
system doesn't exist as far as I know! Well anyway F*** OFF and don't call me
again!!
-L.. Awww....
...That interview was with Warlock (he changed his name back to his original
name just to confuse everybody) - a sad specimen of a C64 coder... With any luck
his parents will have killed him by now!...
