Mega Interview to Hawkeye/Prologic!!! By Playboy/Prologic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi there Hawkeye, let's cut the crap and get down to business. Please introduce yourself. Well that shouldn't bee too hard. My name is Hawkeye, and I am a member of the main-division of Prologic. (ed: The danish one) I am 15 years old and my main activities are swapping and spreading. Tell me some more about Prologic. How many members are you, and what are their functions? I don't know exactly how many members we are, because we have got a lot of new members, but I think we are aprox. 30 members worldwide. Their functions are: 15 coders, 3 Gfx-men, 4 Musicians, 4 Swappers, and 1 Designer. We are spread over 5 countries: Denmark, Germany, Norway, Finland, and Kuwait(?) Yes I guess it is hard to tell if your division in Kuwait is still rolling, but let us hope they're ok. That brings us to the next question. How is your relationship with the other members of Prologic? I have only talked with them over the phono, except for one, but we are all friends, friendship is VERY important in our group. I agree on that subjtect, friendship is indeed THE MOST important thing in the scene. By the way what hardware do you have? Well, I have got an A-500 with all expansions. No more to say. At least I don't think it's the hardware which counts. You can have an A-3000 with 8 MB, and still be a lamer. Yes, that is right, but just imagine if that equipment fell into the right hands... Talking about lamers, what do you think of lamers? That's easy. If there were no loosers, there would be no winners. That is perfectly true, but check this. If there were no winners there would be no loosers. (he,he) How much time do you spend on your computer? All my spare time. No more, no less. That is a VERY long time considering your activities regarding homework. Ho, Ho, Ho... Now I must ask you to remember a time, which you must look back on. The (good?) old days on da Commodore 64. Were you ever active in the C64 scene? Active and active... I have of course been on the C64 before the Amiga age, but I only had 10-12 contacts. Well that is just another guy, who doesn't look at the C-64 days as the golden days. Perhaps you're right? How many contacts have you actually got right now, and what do you swap? I have aproximately 65-70 contacts, but only 10-15 are standard contacts. I swap everything with them. Writing long letters, swapping beers, and so on. I think it would be VERY sad, if you only swapped disks + standard letters. Yeah!!! FUCK standard letters. Quite a few contacts you've got there, how much do you spend on stamps per month? It cost me SO much. At least too much. I think every hobby is expensive, but specially being active in the Amiga scene as a swapper is VERY expensive. YES the everlasting problem of expensive stamps, and unpaid phone bills... I know that problem too well myself. Have you ever been in trouble with the police, because of swapping? Never. (Lucky me eh') (continues in next article) (continues from previous article) Lucky? I have the feeling, that the Danish police doesn't do much about swapping at all, but anyway we have to move on to the next part of this interview. It is time for me to give you a clue, and then it is up to you to add a few comments.. O.K? The first word is MEGADEMOS... I just love megademos, but I think it is better to make a onedisk megademo which is very great, than making a demo on two disks which is only standard. DRUGS... Bad stuff! FAKED STAMPS... I used them a while, but then I was caught and now I don't paint stamps anymore. PIRACY... I hate games so I don't care. FRIENDSHIP... The best in the scene. BOOZING... I just love that. (Remember your meeting Playboy?) CONFERENCES... Great. At partys & conferences you can meet your friends and booze a lot. I have only been to two parties. Bounty's (An OK Party) and Aero's (YUCK) so I have missed the best. (RSI+TSL, Dexions, etc.) MODEM TRADING... It destroyes mailtrading. You can't write or get letters. By the way, have you ever heard about beerswapping on modem? THE SCENE IN GENERAL... Everybody is talking about good old days on the 64. But at that time there were also wars and stufftrading. PHEEEEW.... that was all of that shit. And now to something completely different... This one is just to give you a little break. Tell me about your worst nightmare... When my Amiga broke down and I had no money for the repair. I just hoped it had been a dream, but this was a real nightmare. And now to something completely different. (again?) This is the fun part of every interview. Your favourite, we might as well hit it.... Your favorite: GROUP: Anarchy. They have got soo many cool members like: Dan, 4-mat, Kreator, Teeze, Mr. Big etc. CODER: I really like lots of coders. Promax, Gonzo, Metallion, Delta, and Slayer are among the very best. GFX. WIZARD: I think Kefrens' new member Slash is very great, but also Joe and Reward are two cool dudes. (PHEW! continues in the next article! The 3rd part!) (continues from previous article) MUSICIAN: 4-mat, Jesper Kyd, Nightlight, Dr. Awesome and Romeo Knight are great. It is difficult to pick. REAL MUSIC: I just love Depeche Mode. But also Hip-Hop and techno sounds are great. UTILITY: Dpaint + Noisetracker are the best utilities ever. DISKMAG: Zine is very good, (ed: &^$^%^%*&&^) but also Freedom Crack, (ed: That's more like it) I.C.E. and DISC are good magazines. REAL MAG: Yeah, I like PLAYBOY (ed: It is always nice to know, that somebody likes you. He, he) COMIC: MAD is the best comic. At least I think so. VHS: I really like Lethal Weapon 2. BEER LABEL: Tuborg X-mas is good, BUT Warsteiner is better. ALCOHOLIC DRINK: Finlandia vodka 4ever!!! FOOD: Pizza is good, but the taste of a good red steak... Ok Huckeye (he,he) let us fuck this motherfucking subject, and let us get down to some serious business again. What are your other hobbies, if any? Boozing with my friends, hunting chicks, and so on. Yes I can remember that.. Once upon a time in the city of Middelfart DK.... I think I'll skip the rest cos it will just fill the whole mag, but read the AERO PARTYREPORT for further info. This interview has finally come to an end. Many thanks to Hawkeye for answering these few (He, he) questions, and if there is anything you would like to say to all your friends out there, now is your chance... Keep up the good work folks. Thanx to Playboy for this interview. Greetings to all my friends. See ya at our party! Well I hope you have all enjoyed reading this interview as much as I have enjoyed writing it. I have just one small remark to make. You are most certanly wondering why there two editors by the name of Playboy. Well there are not. The reason is, that I made this interview, and some other articles some time ago. And meanwhile I joined the rowdy group of Prologic DK. I hope you are not too confused. Enough have been said, and no more to say.
