Ouch, they diss C64. Music wise so so (not bad, but C64 sounds better), but visually... wow... that is higher resolution and so many colors (stupid c64 should have included custom colors, like the Atari can)!

Yes, but what I was doing had a much greater risk than lying to a distant server.

Still fresh, damnit!
I think those are done using the CPC's originl AY-3 sound chip, which is a simple 3 voice PSG. I've never heard anything quite a complex done using a PSG like those. The SID chip is also 3-voice, but it's significantly more tweakable than a simple PSG is, and audibly is usually somewhere between a PSG and FM-synthesis. The Atari ST for example started out with an AY-3 PSG, but later revisions (starting with the STe I think) had FM-synthesis, so most ST demos use that FM chip, but most ST games just use the PSG and to my mind it really lets down what otherwise is a relatively powerful machine from the 16-bit era. If these demoscene writers can write such pieces for the PSG (and display fancy graphics at the same time) I'm very impressed.

Some of those, on the first page, are indeed funny. My favorite is wheelbarrow.

"Auch ein Todesfall aus Hamburg klingt bizarr: Ein Mann soll sich laut "Frankfurter Rundschau" mit Scheiblettenkäse belegt, eine Nylonstrumpfhose über den Oberkörper gezogen und einen Plastikregenmantel angezogen haben, in einen Taucheranzug gestiegen sein und sich dann mit einer Plastiktüte über dem Kopf vor die eingeschaltete Heizung gesetzt haben."
Ich las das mal so stehen.

Klingt nach Streit mit dem Vermieter. Oder mit dem Nachbarn.

"John Snow" just got banned for spam. Misspelling aside, I am somewhat honored.
By the way:
in the German Version from "Game of Thrones", John Snow was translatet too "John Schnee", for me, John Schnee sounds more like a Disney Sidekick..
This also dissapoints me, as i want to read the Books in german, but every time he get mentioned, i read it as "John Snow"..
Schnee is the German Translation of "Snow", but who the hell translatet Names ??
Oma-Wetterwachs...
Expect the Discworld Books, its translation was great
Sam Vines -> Sam Mumm
John Snow -> John Schnee
Sam Vines -> Sam Mumm
John Snow -> John Schnee

I hate translating names too, especially in languages where the spelling is adapted to native pronunciation (some conlangs do this).
I don't care how you pronounce it dammit, as long as you write it properly.
Also: who the hell dubs movies?
