In the following lines we have an interview with: Rack of Absolute! Yes, this is part of our aim, to let you know about the scene, people, towns and everything in Hungary. So, let's hear what he has to say! Q - Ben of Absolute! A - Rack of Absolute! Q: Hi Rack! I think your name is very known in Europe, but lots of people know rather little about YOU. So please introduce yourself and say some sentences about yourself! A: Well, my real name is László Molnár, I was born in the year of 1972, I'm ca.170cms tall, around 60kgs., blond and green/brown eyed. I live in a Hungarian town with around 20.000 citizens. Although it's a rather small village, we have everything we need. At least satisfies 90% of my needs. In this small town, because of the near Austrian border, there are extremely lot entertainment and relaxation possibility. There are a lot of nice sights and other cultural things. Briefly: cool place! Q: We've heard almost nothing about you in the past year. As known, you enjoyed the hospitality of the Hungarian army. Tell us a bit about this year! A: I entered on the 26th of February, 1992. The first half of the year passed by very slowly, but the second half became very cool. You know I was placed over to Székesfehervár, to the HQ of Land Teams (I don't know its correct name in English...), more precisely to the Electronic Battle HQ (?), where I was working with an AT386/25Mhz machine, and I rarely drew some battle maps, too. My boss was a very kind colonel who gave me a lot of extra holidays. I rarely got assigments due to my work. So I was quite lucky with the army. And I try to forget the bad things... I think that this one year 'education' was needed for me. I changed me a lot, and I think about various things in a whole different way. But the 11th of Feb. '93 was the most beautiful day of my life... the day of my discharge. Q: Could you tell us a funny story about the army? A: I don't remember to any really cool story. But cool parties were not rare. Mainly when we got 'holidays'. Q: Did you get loads of letters in the past year, or were you a bit forgotten? @IPpanicmanC A: I got rather a big number of letters. But the thing that some cool guys leave our scene disappoints me a bit... Q: Now, after your discharge, how do your days look like? A: Perhaps a bit boring. I think it needs some more days for me to be like I was before the army. Anyway, my weekdays pass with work. I leave fun to the week-end. But I have some cool nights on weekdays, too. Q: But I think you really party on week-ends... How has a Hungarian guy from the countryside fun in your opinion? A: Yes, I try not to be left out from booze parties. What's more, for a time now, Friday-Saturday night booze is a must for me! Well, I din't know how a provincial guy has fun, but I can tell you my way of having fun. Usually we start out at my place with starting the 'load in'. I usually do this with home-brandy, or something similar. After the warm up, everything can come which starts with the letter T. The beer, The wine, etc. After tanking up we go to party somewhere or to a disco. Q: How do you think about the scene? How did your career go? You do this for a time now, aren't you bored with drawing logos and pixelling? A: I try to be active as much as I can. I love to draw since I was a little child, and I love fiction, logically-unlogical (?!) things. What I hate is monotonity and repetating, alikeness. I think you can feel it on my gfx... My career started in the time of 'Ray of Hope' ('91). I didn't think that I could be so famous (?), so I want to thank YOU for voting for me, it ment, means a lot to me. I just love pixelling, but only when I'm in the mood. And when I'm bored of it, I just don't do it. I don't know any other medicine against boredom, perhaps booze... I'm not like some other fellows, who sit down in front of their machine and make hords of shit, and their works are mainly unoriginal useless ones. for me the idea is everything, if I don't have a cool idea I just don't draw. Q: On what are you working now? A: Let this be my secret. I love surprises, and making surprises for somebody else is wonderful! One thing is for sure I do gfx for more than one demos, but I think real Rack quality will just appear in later releases... the demo's name will be C R E A M. Q: Any message or note? A: The army caused some big financial problems to me, so if you can help, with offering a job, primarily computer gfx, the please help!
