Controversy surrounded the release of Skills Issue Three, over
-shadowing events such as the Tyson-Holyfield fight. It seems
that a few people felt that a certain named-after a breakfast
food ascii group was wrongfully left out of the "Top Five Big
Ballers of the ASCII Scene" section last issue. Allow me to
explain. I write Skills for free, and on my own time. Noone
is forced to read it, nor do I charge for it. I refuse to cen
sor myself to keep people happy; Human society has come far be
yond that. Then again, I AM only human, and it's possible that
I let my personal opinions influence what is entered into that
text file I call Skills. I will not apologize for such an omi
ssion, what's done is done. I shall only say that in the futu
re I will continue in a Lexus-like relentless pursuit of perfe
ction, to deliver the highest quality ascii magazine possible.
In other news, I'm very happy with the progress of Skills, and
I'd like to extend thanks to those select few who have contrib
uted in some way, with either art or articles, to make Skills
the best magazine possible. There, that was positive enough.
Thanks for obtaining Skills 4, enjoy the mag.
-- Megga Hertz aka Bugsy.

--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
As with rap music's East/West Coast rivalry, hate between Amiga
and PC-ASCII artists exists in the ascii scene. This is not
competition, which is a type of rivalry that drives the other
side to produce higher quality art, but it is outright hate and
disrespect for each other's artform, treating PC-ASCII and Ami
ascii as if they were as different as ANSI art & VGA. The tru
th is, many so-called European Amiga artists used PCs to create
their art, and many PC artists recommended that you view their
art in 80 x 50 line mode, and use AFS.COM, which simulates the
font and character set that an Amiga uses. Who is to say what's
the correct platform to view and draw ascii? I consider all asc
ii art to be the same, and rarely change resolution/char set to
view. Amiga artists often complain that PC artists rip their
"styles"; PC artists often claim that Amiga artists have don't
have any style at all, and just release boring outlines. Will
this rivalry end with the death of 2 representative artists as
it did with rap's East/West Coast war, or will peace be made,
joints be drawn, and groups collies be unbanned on bot & bbses
everywhere? Only you can decide the future of our ascii artform.
For now, I'm Megga Hertz the Kingpin. =]
Comments and responses from either PC or Amiga artits may

._ _. school, which rmrs is
: rEMORSE ASCII PACK #14 : best known for.
::wH0::.................................:
2n-rmrs1 asc 7 Full screen, so it's good, good wording too.
74-ceo asc 6 No real detail or originality.
74-cia2 asc 7 Now that's a bit more like it, kid.
74-eldno asc 6 So E and D are the same letter now?
axb-ac01 asc 7 I like the sad looking eyes.
axb-col8 asc 7 Nice logos, making use of aXB's oldschool outlines.
Header looks like dy-scott.asc =]
axb-port asc 7 Not bad, not bad at all. MrK swang..
bds-hs1 asc 6 No detail.
bj-asc93 ans 7 Really good evil pic/eyes, the font is good too, but they
don't match together.
bj-clus ans 5 Umm, No. At least an originality attempt was there.
cg-aug txt 6 Kinda simple.. .
d13-rmrs asc 7 Lots of odd detail makes this nice.
fr-1337 asc 7 Nice newschool
fr-kwest asc 8 Now this is the real shit, nice coloring.
fr-pic2 asc 8 Badass pic, good use of small amounts of color.
gdr-rmrs asc 8 You have to look twice, but this is a really good char.
gdr-snf asc 8 Whoa, nice 23 liner ascii, reminds me of eerie ansi.
gdr-spf asc 8 Good detail/proportions, as in older kHz ascii.
gdr-tick asc 7 No background, but a nice pic.
jak-acd8 asc 8 This is so good it makes me sick. Acid Jack has a bomb
style that is constantly developing.
jak-intr asc 6 It's not aCid Jack inverse, for christ's sake.
ma-rmrs1 asc 7 Smaller then the best Massm logos, but just as good
technically.
mk-prim asc 8 Interesting pic from MrK, non-char for the first time.
nl-bzr asc 8 VERY good and long colored newschool, Nahal's style is
all his own.
nl-tlc asc 7 These colors don't work as well, but the T is badass.
nm-dead asc 7 Necromancer logos are never shabby.
nn-iom asc 7 Necronite logos are. J/k, I like small logos.
par-doe ans 7 The Pepsi logo makes this pic hardcore.
par-ent ans 6 Umm, it's getting old already.
par-ft2 ans 7 A bit more detail, finally.
r-mhztgi txt
smc-asc txt 6 Small logos are good.
tr-stone ans 7 Ahah, the pic isn't perfect as far as the ascii aspect,
but it's good and funny as hell.

2n-anb asc 7 A pretty nice style, fairly original.
5q-bzr asc 6 This is all over tango's nutsack.
5q-code asc 7 Pretty good.
74-bloom asc 7 The pic was REAL nice, but the logo dragged it down.
aoh-odel bin 8 I liked this a lot, especially the shading method.
bio-fong asc 6 Not bad, but nothing special.
bio-gem asc 7 Better than fongu, but still fairly blah-ish.
bio-mor asc 7 Nothing new.
bio-ode asc 7 Still bland, but not bad
bs-cc asc 7 Rough, but still cool. Who is this guy?
gv-occi txt 6 Original, but ugly. And, I didn't QC your work
because of your "rebellious political messages", I QC'ed
it because it sucked. Stop rationalizing, moron.
[ mHz ] -- I've seen two versions of this colly, the first being formatted
for Serial. I feel your previous intro was more appropriate.
Gv will know what I'm talking about.
h4-jooky asc 8 Haji rocks my ass. Unreadable, but still elite.
h4-uziq asc 8 What's up with this uziq shit? Another badass ascii.
ko-gokou asc 8 Badass pic, but keep coloring, it's your strong point.
ma-balt asc 9 Fuck, mass murderer rocks, and so does this logo.
ma-end asc 8 "Bombish" (c)mHz
ns-tank col 7 I like this stuff. It's pretty original, for oldschool.
[ mHz ] -- Yeah, but more original would have been even better. =]
par-anal asc 7 Not great for pariah (too bland), but still a good ascii.
pr-357mm asc 9 Shit, prodigy is a god, period.
[ mHz ] -- Agreed. Prodigy proves he is easily one of the best/most
innovative newschool artists these days.
pr-agntz asc 10 Original as fuck, if this were in dollar signs, it
would be bland, but it looks so cool the way it is.
pr-bloom asc 8 The pic is nice, but the logo isn't up to par
[ mHz ] -- are you on crack? this is BAD ASS.
pr-jonx asc 8 Hmm, kinda looks like endless, but still elite.
sh-ode09 txt 8 Not too original, but it still looks badass.
tk-ode asc 7 Nice concept, needed a little more.
tk-ode3 asc 9 That is so badass looking. I love your style.
tk-ser asc 9 This is seriously a fucking elite logo. Needs a bg, tho.
us-acid asc 8 Any joint between pariah and haji is going to rule.
us-purge asc 9 Normally, drax's shit is fairly bland, but with pr's
magic touch, that ascii owned.

First up on the ratings, we have Comic!ascii. What can i say, this pack
had VERY few highlights in it, but since i cant say the whole pack was crap,
(which it WAS) i'll just pick out the worst of the worst.

| ARTIST | TITLE | RATING | COMENT |
| -------- | ------- | -------- | -------------------- |
| Serial toon | 2n-creed.asc | 3/10 | this ascii was just |
| | | | crap. It was hard to |
| | | | read, and the letters |
| | | | weren't even shapped |
| | | | properly, a very poor |
| | | | job on this ascii. |
| | | | Should NOT have been |
| | | | released. plus, he |
| | | | sucks anyway. |

+----------------+-----------------+--------------+--------------------------+
| | | | |
| weird | we-comic.asc | 2.5/10 | what can i say, this |
| | | | ascii was poorly |
| | | | shapen, and it looked |
| | | | liked something i |
| | | | could have pulled out |
| | | | of my ass in about 3 |
| | | | seconds. Atleast you |

--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
It's a common question, one that can be seen almost daily on IRC, and
passes through the minds of even the greatest artists. The question
is 'Why don't the seniors of ACiD and iCE *DRAW*?' Being the heads of
such well known, established, high quality, and long running groups,
One would assume theyd be among the best artists in the scene, if not
the best themselves. The Skills staff has obtained two asciis, each
drawn be a senior of a well known art group. The question is answered.

His shaping is perfect, his letters remarkable. Unrivaled ascii.

Force Ten's ASCII screams oldschool, reminiscent of what the scene used to be.
His pointed letters are amazing, and could have only been done by him. A++.

<massmurd> So, whats your handle and tell what you do:
<_meggaHz> My handle is The Lord God Megga Hertz the Kingpin (that's an
abbreviation) aka Bugsy the Don; I draw oldschool ascii, and I
still mod boards.
<massmurd> Cool. Are you any good ? What is your past history with groups ?
<_meggaHz> I've been told I'm alright =] As far as the national artscene, I
joined up with Cia about one year ago, released with them for three
months, then got invited to acid!ascii, which merged into trank to
re-form remorse!ascii, which is acid's asci division, and where
I am now.
<massmurd> I remember you when you started out as a toddler :) anyway, what do
you think about the pc ascii scene today ?
<_meggaHz> Actually, you don't. =] I think it's going well, ascii artists are
accepted as real artists among many, and the internet has helped
that, everyone running their own Linux boxes has really raised the
demand for high quality ascii. But as with
<_meggaHz> every scene, there is corruption, and enemies. Or maybe that's just
with me. =]
<massmurd> just you :) .. heh. Do you feel youve come a long way since your
cia days ?
<_meggaHz> Yeah I think I have; I still love Cia though, I release with them
now and then.
<massmurd> I see.. so, we know you draw oldskool ascii.. but i thought you
told me a while back you were going to start trying a little
newskool, what happened with that ?
<_meggaHz> I wasn't aware of this. =] I don't know, I do a little here and
there, and release maybe one every three months. It just isn't my
forte.
<massmurd> yeah. i saw :) .. so, tell me about your bbs, abraxas diabetic,
dialbolic, whatever.
<_meggaHz> !abraxas/diabolic. It's been up since 1993; To be honest, it's one
of those boards with 1000 affils, and too much art, but I always
want more. =] Of course you'd ask while it's temp down. I walked
into the room the other day, and I smelled something burning,
anyways, I gotta go pick up a new CPU fan =]
<massmurd> haha.. at least you still have the house :) How many users do you
have on it ? And has it gotten bigger since you've become more
known in the art scene ?
<_meggaHz> Yeah, alot of people like calling just to see where Megga Hertz
lives. =] I've been told the setup is better then istar, which is
considered good, so that makes me feel nice and elite. =]
<massmurd> Yeah, Gunthar is a good modder :) Also, tell us about your life as
your previous identity, -everlast-
<_meggaHz> -EverLast-, what an elite handle. I had it for quite awhile, but
the time just came for a change, I had to break my way out of the
all powerful - -'s and arise as Megga Hertz the Kingpin.
<massmurd> Where did you come up with the nick mHz, does it have anything to
do with newschool legend, kHz ?
<_meggaHz> Yeah to some degree. =] kHz has been a good friend of mine, we've
talked voice alot ever since I was a cia nerd (he has cia roots just
like me, and has that deep down cia love), and we talked it over
first, it hasn't caused any problems, me being an oldschool
legend <g>
<massmurd> yeah yeah :) So, who has inspired you to draw ascii as well as your
style, and who are your favorite ascii artists in the scene today ?
<_meggaHz> As far as inpsiring me to draw, I guess the old kTS and remorse
members. Style, I didn't really look at a lot of ascii when I began
drawing, so I consider myself fairly self-taught (which is why my
shit looks so weird=] ) today my favorite
<_meggaHz> artists for oldschool would be TinyZ, Justin Hale (asphixia) uhh...
I've always liked sparr's stuff, but he doesn't draw anymore, I
like necromancer's older stuff alot. Newschool, kHz of course, that
fag mass murderer, Discyple, unS/maestro =] etc; there are a lot of
good artists popping up these days.
<massmurd> <blush> :) so, comment on the ascii groups today ? There are many
new talented ones popping up all the time ..
<_meggaHz> Yeah, I just hope some of them last. The problem is that the same
people are in every group, so there's no real competition. That's
what I like about remorse, we have alot of people who draw theirs to
draw theirs, and don't get caught up in group bullshit.
<massmurd> TRUE. i never understood the point of someone drawing for 2 or 3
competitive groups. kinda ruins the whole point of competition..
bastards.. :) anyway, what do you do off the computer as hobbys ?
<_meggaHz> I'm kinda retired from alot of my hobbies, just getting to old,
skating, video games etc, you know. It's also dangerous for a
person of my status to go outside without an entourage, but I enjoy
running my Family business, and the life that goes along with it.
<massmurd> Sounds good.. :) Bring in the bucks :) .. Lastly, tell us about
this emag we're interviewing in right now.. SKILLS .. how far do
you plan to go with it ?
<_meggaHz> As far as I can, I like the progress so far, I've got more then a
few positive compliments, because until Skills, there weren't any
magazines dedicated to us ascii guys, just those same old #ansi
review mags.
<massmurd> truuuuuuue ,.. im a huge fan of Skills too .. even though some fag
writes it, i like the reviews, interviews, and in depth it has of
the ascii scene.
<_meggaHz> Aha, thanks maing. =] I loved the controversy over Skills 3 =]
<massmurd> heh. well. i guess there is nothing else to talk about, this is my
first review by the way, thanks for being cooperative, and your
skanky ass hsould draw me more of that oldskool one of these days.
<_meggaHz> Yeah, we'll get our madass trade on. =] Seeya around maing.
<massmurd> Later.

Skills Issue Four,, Public,, Area,, One Nation, announcement.
--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
1n. 1n.
One Nation. An ascii collection like no other coordinated by
Megga Hertz the Kingpin. A collection that will break down
the walls between oldschool and newschool, amiga and pc. I'd
like _ALL_ artists to contribute, not just one nation logos,
but any logos you'd like to see included, and pic artists can
contribute too. I hope to have One Nation fully polished and
released before 1998, which isn't too far off in scene terms.
Any and all submissions can be sent to mhz@bigdog.clemson.edu
Thanks,
mHz
