Breakpoint 2003

This report started around a month before 
my plans to visit Bingen  when I began 
pixling on my contribution. Even if my
mom has told me, that I should double the 
time for all my plans (which in fact is a 
true sentence for  Nukleus  aswell),  the 
picture was finished like 2 hours before I 
left to a trainstation. Unfortunately, the 
plans for reserving some waggons for demo-
coding freaks didnt work out as it should.
Instead, as the only member of Nukleus 
showing up since Balder left to Himalya 
for a couple of months I was quite excited 
during my trip with Deutsche Bahn.

After taking the minibus to the hill and 
paying the entrance of 40 Euros I met 
Altruist/Tulou and joined a table with some
Amiga-folks from Tulou, Traktor, Nature, 
TBL, Elcrew...

Inside, Breakpoint was cold, outside it was 
like a festival.'The Real Party Is Outside' 
could be read on some posters  and together 
with the fire  burning outside I could just 
agree.

I handed over my graphix contribution but 
didnt have a clue about that I should 
deliver some prestadiums aswell. 
Consequently my picture wasnt shown,  and 
even when I talked to gizmo/farbrausch who 
administrated the contributions, and he 
would include it for next show on sunday.
Nope, he didnt, too much to do, was his 
excuse. thx pal!

Im not going to list every event from the 
schedule, since this can be read somewhere 
else. Instead  talking about some 
impressions. 
All kind of competitions at Breakpoint were 
influenced of the chilly weather. Nicknames 
like Cold Point, Freeze point etc or in the 
fastintro compo  or the fast graphics compo 
with ice-theme.  Such a  compo as the  fast 
graphics is a realtime proof about what you 
can create in  Photoshop  in some hours and 
with some manipulating tools..       
..that these sceners then call themselfs 
graphicians!

At the Breakpoint for Amiga, it was quite 
rarely with party-releases.   As far as I 
remember, it was only groups like the music 
group  mOOdS  giving their promo-CD  and my 
friend  Zito who  worked hard  with  party-
edition of Jurassic Pack #12.

Three entries in the Democompetion was'nt 
that very much aswell. And the introcompo 
was cancelled  since Tulou as only group, 
working hard with their prod. 'Khold'. Im 
quite sure that the Uprough-kids would re-
lease something aswell, if Booger wasnt in 
Asia..

Well, I guess that was the end of this 
report. Another Breakpoint report from me 
can be read in the magazine Azine #4.
