Cowee's Christmas Calendar 2022
category: general [glöplog]
About 20 years ago, a demoparty organiser found a little plush cow in a bargain bin in Zermatt. It soon became adopted by its foster family, the Buenzli and later Demodays organisers.
Then it got quiet, without a demoparty in Switzerland the little cow retired from mascot fame...
...until she returned with old and new friends 2 years ago, to go on a Christmas adventure!
And now she is back - MountainBytes and an even bigger lot of amazing voice talents are bringing you a new Cowee Christmas Adventure, in 24 parts!
Day 1 - Finally reunited

Re-welcoming first Bombe as The Narrator
(Yes, as people watched it with their kids last time, it's a child-appropriate... cosmic-horror demoscene fanfic. Child-appropriate, really. Bear with us.)

Today at Day 4, Cowee decides that she rather wants to make a demo than fighting. But can she do it all by herself?
She decides the joy is in making things, even if it doesn't live up to The-Meteoriks-greatness:

OMG is this a Sputnik satellite ?! But HOW ? WHEN ? WHY ?! The suspens is over 9000 ! :)
Happy St Nicholas day!
Of course it's Scenesat's Sputnik - one's gotta wonder about that computer and what its able to spit out... Here is "I recognise this ball!":
https://youtu.be/2Oy9tYj9QG0
Also, as they tend to not promote it and falala'n'all, did you know Scenesat has a Patreon page to keep them up and running?

Something weird happened to Sputnik's own scene. It tells us more in "The Fate of the SID-Tune Scene":

It seems there were more dimensions plagued by the menace that prompted Sputnik to visit our plane of existence. Here comes "The Fate of the Sizecoders"!

And all of this is caused by "A Creature that Boggles the Mind":

(Fair warning to those watching with their kids: have a look first if they can stomach a campy monster shadow, although we "audience tested" it a little and hope it's gonna be alright :) )

Could the group's fighting be caused by the imminent thread to the demoscene in Cowee's adventure? Could the different arts working together be the key?

Cowee's group is shocked about the news, but not ready to give up. But whom can they turn to for help? Time to get out the old datasette from her last adventure... in "We Must Find a Way":

And we are already at Day 13, can you believe it!
It seems the old magic still works - and Cowee returns to yet another dimension to gather help. From someone wearing... a towel? Here is "It worked, I'm back":

He is back! The one-and-only Sir Garbagetruck makes a return as Santa Claus in "Santa Is Concerned":
https://youtu.be/briGSJ7UYVc
https://youtu.be/briGSJ7UYVc
...and is that him getting in such a festive spirit that he shouts out all the great admins and "elves" in the background of all our platforms?
On that note - Merry Christmas, dear Pouet-admins, and thanks for all the work you do! <3

Can the scene endure? Why wouldn't it, if its members still invested countless hours into making great demos, when they couldn't even watch it with their friends on a bigscreen?
Here is "The Scene will endure, no matter the foe":

(Caution, contains cowee-fied Nuance-stags. Thanks for giving cloven hooved animals the decorum they deserve! <3 )

One more present - and what an incredible bauble it is: aldroid lets Sputnik track through the snow in a mere 2.822 bytes.

From bringing life into old devices, composing music to using code for visual glee - will this versatility be enough to face and overcome The Deadline...?
