Klocek has been caught leavin' army's gate! by Grey / Mystic Bytes polish2english by Egaheer / Syntax! ---------------------------------------------------- ---- ----- ------- ---- -- Missiles flyin' over your head If you wanna survive get out of bed You're in the army now Oh oh you're in the army now Shots ring out in the dead of night The sergeant calls: "Stand up and fight!" ...heh, it's hopefully over! =) Grey: My best congrats, mate! You are ALIVE! I guess it's rather painful x-perience being in polish army?! ;) Anyway it's great to see that you survived and you didn't skip your scene activities! Klocek: I've been ducking military service for a long time (they took me when I was 22). Luckily I was able to serve that year in an elite formation namely the Military Police. First I went to the school of Military Police in Poznan, where they were teachin' us some elements of law, self-defence, military tactics, traffic control, etc., etc. After three months we took the senior officer exam. Then they sent me to MP base in my city (for my good grades). We were patrolling the streets of Torun, those were good times. Sometimes it was hard, I mean, learnin' plenty of stuff 'bout the law of using: guns, cuffs, gas, batons, various regulations etc. It was a very pleasant time and I would do it again:) (Over my dead body - Egaheer) Grey: Some time ago you left the army's gate... the "fun" is over, buddy! How did you feel leavin' your soldier friends? Did you spill at least one tear? Klocek: At first there was no other option than stayin' in MP (Dream on -E.), but the terms of prolonged service in MP scared not only me, but also two other guys from my year and all the others from younger one. 430 (!!!!) HOURS IN A MONTH FOR 1100zl. So unfortunately, I resigned from this prestigious service. 25.06.(2003) was my last day in MP. I came out with Damien and Seweryn. The unit's Veterans. :) We've left our younger buds, who followed in our foot steps. On this memorable day the unit Commander ordered, that we should be escorted to the Town Hall with all honours. We were the most distinguished conscripts in the history of the Torun MP base. Grey: What were your first impressions after your comeback to "reality"? Did you notice some positive changes around? Or did all seem to be even worse? Klocek: HA! Lack of superiors, and what follows - lack of duties (Who r u tryin' to fool ;)-E.), no asking for a leave... simply total freedom. I took Egaheer (my fiancee) for a months vacation by the sea, and then we spent a few days by the lake. She didn't like the time when I was in the Army, she missed me very much. (Yeah, right ;) -E.) Now I've got a job (or more specifically - a lot of building commissions). During a period of unemployment, tired of pretty low temperatures, I've had myself some winter holidays. :) Grey: When you did a 1st step to your flat did you check if your trustful plastic ST friend is still sittin' on the desk? =) Or did you need some more time to resurrect this feeling? Klocek: Unfortunately, my computer was locked in the closet, so my sis' couldn't have damaged it. Another case is that about three years ago my CACHE had broken down, so I got pissed off a little. This meant that half a year before the army, I've hidden MEGE (Mega STE) in my closet. A week after I came back from the army I took my poor MEGA ST, which was lyin' under bunch of clothes and turned it on. (Ha! I got earlier some scene productions from the net). I've missed a lot of things: STNICCC, ODDSTUFF, WOLFSTEIN, POSH, DARKNESS, etc. Nice! I checked if the CACHE works... and I was shocked. It fixed itself! I guess it got scared of the closet :) Grey: And now please remind us of some details concerning you, buddy. How old are you? What are ya doing in the so called "real life"? Klocek: Jarek K., 24 years old single (but not for long:) My hobby is ATARI. I'm on ATARI ST scene since 1997. My favourite demos are: Brain Damage, Posh, Fantasia, Ecstasy, Syntax Terror, Froggies Favourite games: Obsession, Ishar, Dungeon Master, SubStation, Lemmings, Stone Age and Stardust. Grey: Are you able to dig out from memory Your 1st "touch" with fuji keyz? How did you become a user of this dream machine? Klocek: Few years ago I went to my bud to play computer games. I was 12 years old. I remember, this magic stuff called little Atari (65XE) was standing on his desk. He put a tape in a tape recorder, we waited while watchin' TV. The first game that he showed me was FRED (this game was released by L.K. AVALON). It was 1992, so you didn't need much stuff in games to play them for hours. I really liked this platform game, he also showed me World Karate, which I knew earlier from shops and Ace of Aces, which had beaten up all the other stuff that I'd seen then. I bought this computer from him and used it 'till 1995, when I saw in computer shop an Atari MEGA STE with SM 146 screen. Soon I've become its happy owner. My brother was in the same class as Yoyo, so I didn't have any problems with software. Grey: Did you ever regret your love to any Atari machine? Maybe you have had some moments of weakness and you wanted to skip it all? (or exchange your machine to an Amiga for example?) Klocek: Nope :) Grey: Ok, let's jump to the less controversial topic =) ATARI SCENE! When a 1st demo You have ever seen hit Your screen? What was Your 1st impressions? "hey... what da hell iz that?!" or "what iz that and... what for?!" :) Klocek: I remember :))) It was ARCTUS DEMO (pic, scroll & music) on XL. I was intrigued, I figured out it was some kind of a program showing the abilities of Atari XL/XE, but I didn't know yet, that something like a scene existed. Then I saw REVENGE (a super demo by K.Husak, I think), a few demos of WFMH... and I started to go mad about the Atari :). When I became a ST owner the first demo that impressed me was ANOMALY, then BAD TASTE, BURNING ILLUSION and so, slowly, I got aware of the ST scene existence. Grey: In late 90s at QuaST party in Poland we were witnesses to the birth of "Syntax". You and Yoyo (ex-member of "Zokhatra" demo group) decided to join forces. Some time later we could see the first effects of this co-operation and Yoyo turned out to be an OUTSTANDING ST coder! His new effects were groundbreaking! "Syntax" releases were miles ahead in comparison to other active crews in that time (esp. from technical side). I've been so proud to see a polish ST crew jumping higher and higher in various scene charts. Do you know where Yoyo learned that good coding? It seems that after Zokhatra's death he didn't only fart into his seat... :) Klocek: Breif history: Zokathra (Zo, KATH, RA are the symbols of magic from the game DUNGEON MASTER) (Those kids ;) - E.) was a group, which was active in years 1993-95. Credits: Yoyo (coding) and Axel (coding, gfx). Their productions are: "Millions of Dead Chips" (Say WHAT?! - E.) (1994) - a big demo, which contained 6 parts, Alive (1995) - very nice dentro :), there was also Pac Man and some screens. The group fell apart because Axel went in 1995 to Germany. Durin' this time Yoyo bought himself PC and wrote ENGINE in WOLF3D style on it. Then my bro' introduced me to Yoyo (1996:). And so from 1997 to 1999 we worked as SYNTAX. Then we lost contact :( I released the 1st edition of the new mag in 2000, but under a new flag: UNDERGROUND. Now I'm tryin' to rebuild this group, but under a changed name: "Underground vs Syntax". Grey: A few years ago you lost contact with Yoyo... that was sad news esp. 'coz we all were expecting Your "KILLER DEMO 2000" which was supposed to beat many releases known from A500! Some time later you went to the army and this promising project was cancelled... :( Could you tell us if any part of this demo was already DONE? Is there any chance to see this project "resurrected" in the nearest future? Lately during our phone chat you said that "finding Yoyo shouldn't be a big problem" and that "a new demo for SillyVenture in 2k+4 is 100% sure if you get in touch with him"! So...? :) Klocek: Yes, Yoyo wrote the ENGINE of WOLF3D for KILLER on ST, I made a mass of textures and I don't know what the hell has happened with this project. I think that there is a big chance for this project to be renewed. I'm waitin' for a call from Yoyo. Keep your fingers crossed! Grey: Ok, I have to add some bitterness to our "honey-talking" =) Without a shadow of doubt You were ruling in the mentioned above "technical side". This topic would be senseless to impair! But a demo shouldn't contain only great "effects"! All what's surrounding it isn't less important. I mean especially about design which was pretty "modest" and *ripped* chip-zaks. I guess that all of us would like to see you putting a bigger focus on these things, mate! If you really manage to start another project then please try to think about some kind of scenario to it! And hey, we have lots a talented YM Rockerz (all rights reserved, I know Mr Lo'tek!) who will support you with pleasure! I am pretty sure about that! Just don't tell me that such a code-wizard as Yoyo can't use a different replayer... ;) Your new project with *original* chip-tunes and *design* would be a heavy lash on lotsa asses nowadays also from other systems! "Sometimes bubble bee can fly higher than Falcon" - that's one of your intro titles! I believe that it *IS* possible if you only won't react with anger to such sharp opinions as Moondogs' ones! His intention was never to break you down, trust me buddy! Listen to the scene veterans, you won't regret it! :) Just keep it deeply in heart and you are gonna shake up the ST world in da future! :) Klocek: REANIMATION ('98) was, as I remember, the best demo of it's time. The years 1995-98 were totally disastrous on ST! Textured 3D was only in sphere on dreams, and here we had 150 textured walls + Module on STE! We created a demo in a *crazy timescale* just to finish it before INTERJAM 1998. That's why DESIGN was a crap but that was because of a lack of time! Moondog probably didn't take this under consideration, when he was writing a review of our demo in UCM. We bit his ass with a nice intro demo: "Sometimes bubble bee can fly higher than Falcon :)", where our DESIGN and GRAFICS were completed. About the music: Yoyo and I were always sentimental about stuff like Wings of Death. When we release sth new, I promise that we'll hire the best musician on ST scene. Grey: And now take a *deeper* look at your disk-mag, bro! It's great to see someone else to support the disk-mag world! Resurrection of "UvsS" is surely a good news for everyone! We need competition! :) I am so happy that I could help you out somehow... but some things are still a pain for my eyes and ears! Gfx looks nice, no bigger changes needed! The shell even if it isn't "state of the art" is quite functional. But Klocek, take a look at amount of articles... isn't it too SMALL? Very few articles we could read in a few mins... And again we are listenin' to *ripped* tunes... From my side I promise to help you out in as many ways as possible but keep a higher focus on all DETAILS please! Klocek: I agree, there were just a few articles, but this is my fault. Eros, with whom I co-wrote the mentioned mag, sent me a lot of articles. Unfortunatelly my SEAGATE HDD dropped dead (and I had all materials on it) and I lost contact with Eros, so I couldn't get those materials back. I've found only one article about GFA and that was all. I wrote myself 8 or 9 articles. Yes, I know it's not enough and I need to work on this part in UvsS#2. Now the person who helps me with this whole stuff is Egaheer: a woman :), 20 years old, nice, tall with blond hair, the second half (Why not the first? :) - E.) of UvsS. You can find her articles in the latest "UvsS" mag (also in English :). Grey: Have you seen any of the latest ST demos? What do you think about them? Klocek: YEP: FANTASIA, POSH, DARKNESS, ILLUSION, 4STER etc. Last year was good for the ST. The Scene has shown once again that ATARI ST/STE is still alive and that it keeps fine. The demos mentioned above are really close to being perfect. Grey: And what do you think about ST scene in general? Is there any chance we will survive another long year amongst this f*ckin' mainstream? Klocek: I think that the people support will make ST outlast the PC and even the next thing to follow. The Atari Firm still exists you know :). The Fuji mountain logo is promoted even in such superproductions like Matrix! I'm not only talking about ENTER THE MATRIX, you know. The Atari has always been changing owners, even the famous WARNER BROS was one of them ('83). So I don't want to hear that it's not the same as under the Tramiel family's leadership (Bubble Bees :). The ST series, even if it isn't produced anymore, is still present. Atari produced hundreds of thousands of them. The scenes goal is to focus other peoples attention towards ST. Although it is old, it still has a large number of followers and supporters. ST emulators are a good example of our might - maybe even someone will want to have the original :) Grey: Yeah...! It's over now, so hold your head up! :) Make use of the next few lines to greet someone, ask for support... whatever you want! :) Klocek: greetings: Egaheer - I LUV U VERY MUCH (I know, especially for translating this stuff :) - E.) Yoyo - Hope to hear you soon... Grey - for the articles to my diskmag and scene work Eros - for work, that you've put in "UvsS #1" Paskud - for the perfect IDE DRIVER Van Eijk - for all those scene parties CREAM, DUNE, CHECKPOINT, DHS, SECTOR 1, OXYGENE, COBRA, MYSTIC BYTES, TSCC, ECHO TEAM, SHADOWS Grey: Thanx for all your answers, mate! And see ya soon! Klocek: I hope that we'll meet in spring, in Gdansk :) Greets. -- --- --- --- -- --- --------------------------------------------------------- CHOSNECK 4th appearance contact us: done by the dream survivors greymsb@poczta.fm ---------------------------------------------------- ---- ----- ------- ---- -- </frame> </body>
