At 3Sat for example on German Televison there was an report about Mekka & Sympsoum. Got someone the URL?
It would be cool to find more articles, reports, etc...

That Windows 100 magazine is really amusing. :-D It's a mixture of porn and omputers. Well, that combo surely sells! (I have one Windows 100 magazine, they sent me it because they wrote something about foobug's Exodus in which I participated).
Anyway, the magazine I write for, Enter has published some demoscene related articles. One about demoscene in general, I can't remember who wrote it, it wasn't anybody really famous but he knew what he was talking about. And I wrote an article about diskmags (which they shortened to about an half even though they had specifically requested for a long article, grr! They paid for the full lenght, though. :->) and I scanned it and uploaded somewhere, but I can't remember the URL right now. The one which is in Hugi probably doesn't work any more.

I guess almost EVERY demogroup was present in that funny erotica/computers-for-beginners mag, so it's really nothing special. Oh, and they really have a strange taste. :)
Secondly, I have seen the 'report' on 3sat too and I remember having written an 'nice' article about it, but luckily it was never published.=) On the other hand it was at least better than the infamous rtl2 report about ambience 2ooo (or was it 2oo1..?), which is still around on scene.org I guess.
Uhmm, and if I remember correctly, there were also articles in older pain/hugi issues focusing that topic.

melwyn: Thanks for scanning it as I don't own a scanner.
melw:
the asm 2k anti-commercial/anti-quake campaign, how nice :) that was really cool.
and cubic's toasted, aaaaaahhhhhhh. my favourite.
tomaes:I also wrote an article in hugi about newspapers or tv covering the demoscene. I thought the nano report was really good, so I don't see a reason writing "nice" articles about it ?
I also could post now an article about 0a000h, however I believe there are quite masses of articles about parties. but I'm looking forward for more stuff :)

yo, that was a very cool report from mekka2001 -- only part i stumbled un was the "grössten demoscene party von europa" or whatever it said, otherwise it's cool that the reports had gathered "enough" background info to make such a cool report,
macaw, well mekka is the biggest demoscene party there is. of course tp, tg and asm are bigger but they are not for sceners only.
not that this would matter...
not that this would matter...
macaw: actually, it says "die größte deutsche party dieser art", which is 100% true :)
Don't forget this old one (I still have the actual mag).

Meanwhile, on TV was this.
http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/supergeek/story/0,24330,9498,00.html
They used to have a video clip to go with it but I can't find it now. It was basically a man and woman talking all excited about demos, reading cool-sounding terms off cue cards, and watching clips from Kasparov and Fall Equals Winter.

Parts of 'Just a touch of funk' by Digital Murder were shown on Viva2 (german music TV) in an electro-related report. There was also a demoscene report on Arte..long time ago with Stars and some Amiga demos.
some french magazines had a regular demoscene column, pc fun and pc team. i've no idea if it's still the case, but you had reviews of the best prods of the latest months and even party reports. (and often on several pages).
correct me if i'm wrong, but people like Gandalf or Made have been active in those pages.
i also remember of an old videogame show on some french channel called "Microkids" some years ago where you had some amiga demos played at the end. (20seconds or such).
but i suppose some french scener can give more precisions about all that.

the german mac magazine mac life (http://www.maclife.de) features a mac scene report every issue written by bobic^bttr.
also the german amiga mag "amiga plus" had a scene section every month, i don't know if that's still the case.
oh yea, and i think state of the art was shown on mtv back in the days.

"amiga plus" isn't sold anymore at shops, only by aboonement (sad, I always checked it out at the trainstation) so I don't know exactly, but I think they still have their scene pages. however, I believe every mag for Amiga, Atari or C64 features scene articles as owning such a machine without knowing of or belonging to the scene is quite unrealistic. at least all people I know who owned Amiga or Atari knew about demos although they were no active sceners.
didn't know there was a report on arte. I just always thought that there has to come one as they always feature very interesting stuff of all topics. damn, now I already missed it ;)

about the french pcteam...they don't have the demoscene column anymore, it has been replaced by the "LAN gaming scene" and some emulators news too ... herm..yep, I won't buy it again :)
canal+ did also have one part of a show on the scene ~2years ago
http://www.arte-tv.com/thema/19961119/dtext/aalborg.html
that's the german abstract of that arte report from 1996. i video-taped it back then but i doubt that i should undertake the effort to capture and upload it to scene.org.

"Domino by Faktory" won the symphony01 64k intro compo and was shown in Issue 04 for the Windows100% magazine.

Suddenly I got a flashback:
During Assembly'96 I was visiting my sister who lived just next to fair center where the party was held. While reading the morning paper (Helsingin Sanomat) on Friday morning I noticed there was a big article about Assembly and demoscene in total and I paid attention especially to one funny interview:
- So, Mikko Rajala, 13 years, what computer skills do you have?
- Mä osaan jo kaiken! ("I know everything already")
For some odd reason everybody knew about Mikko Rajala few days later...
Imagine, he's nowadays already 19 years old. I wonder if he still knows everything. :)

I got a flashback too. :-> Me and some friends (ld0d and some others) were interviewed for some French magazine in Assembly '99. They asked for our addresses and we gave them and were eagerly waiting for our copies of the magazine but to this day, none of us has received the magazine. And we can't even remember what magazine it was. So if it was actually published and any of you Frenchmen have it, I'd love to see it.
Also, a very big Finnish magazine had an article about Assembly last year or the year 2000. But it was really poor, it was some girl's diary of the event, squished in one page or so. So it was basically something like "Friday 14.00 There was a music compo. Friday 15.32 We went to watch movies on the sponsor stand. 17.00 Time for the graphics compo", so more like a log than a journal. :-P

Melw: That m. rajala thing was a classic. I laughed my ass off reading the article:-)
And ofcourse Super Television made him way too infamous:D
Hmmh. which reminds me: Hufvudstadsbladet (a big swedish language magazine in Finland) interviewed me and 216 at asm2k but i never managed to get hold of the article (they did publish it some time after ams2k, with photos and all, i've been told). I'd really like to get hold of it since i can't remember what on earth i told the reporter. Maybe i should call them...

diamondie: a french magazine still interested in the demoscene in 99 ??
it was maybe pcteam, but the two pages in pcteam were completely done by sceners and i don't remember if actually some french sceners went to asm in 99..
magazines are still important, i actually discovered the scene in 95/96 with the pcfun magazine, actually at this time i was trying all the programs of the cdrom, then one day found that demo directory with the asm and tp 95 releases .. and it wasn't only releases, you could find in that directory tools to make demos: gcc for dos, gfx2, fasttracker and tutorials in the magazine .. pretty for people who hadn't an internet connection at this time ..
thanx gandalf and made for maintaining that demoscene section until 98.
