After a 5-month-break we are back. We are here and ain't going nowhere. We are back with a new chart- and pointsystem, more articles and inter- views and just more informative. The new TAC'2k will come out bi-monthly. This is the first issue in the new millenium. and I also thought to build up the crew from the start again, kicking everybody out and letting those in again who are willing to do something for the zine. The TAC staff consists at the moment of Darkus, Zaner and me. If you were part of the TAC staff last year and want to be in again, just contact me... But please be more active than last year ! TAC needs a new design ! So if you got time & fun, just make the logos which are in this issue (EDITORIAL, NEWS etc.). We'll use your design for sure if it's worth it.

Ok then, as | Total Points 19 of 45 | | you can see its called Global Village 2, +---------------------------------+ | and congratulations are in order as this | Scored & Reviewed by | | is his first release using the real ascii | Darkus/Aerosol | | machine, the Amiga! Well the intro design +---------------------------------+ | leading to the logo menu is rather basic and what I would call standard | | design. Meaning the work of a lazy artist. However he has used some good | | logos to lighten it all up. The Dipswitch logo by Daeron is quite a treat! | | The welcoming text and logo menu both have clean and quite atractive design | | which raises my hopes for the actually requested logos. The request logos | | themselves are nice to look at, yet when I take a closer look at them some | | letters seem to be badly drawn and slightly out of place. So his style is | | kinda hit and miss. What I mean by that is some logos can look fine whilst | | some others dont quite fair so well. This is down to what I think is his | | inconsistancy with his letter drawing skills. On the more positive side his | | logo design seems to feature much more potential. But sadly, there wasnt | | enough to justify a higher rating than 05/10. My suggestion to Dipswitch is | | for him to add more of his design talent to every logo and try and clean up | | the inconsistancy. The end part of the colly, doesnt feature any design but | | does include all the usuals: greets, credits and release history. No extra | | points to be gained here though. Overall, a decent collection which | | features basic design, hit and miss logos and a minimal end part. Very | | average release seems to be a fair final comment. | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ........... ........... | | : : : : | | : . ........ . . ........ . : | | : ..: . :.. ..: . :.. : | | :... : ...: : . cORRUPT cONSOLE mAG! . : :... : ...: | | : : : : | | : _____ _________ : _____ | |_____ _____. : ______ __\\_ /___ _____ _____\_ / _______ / //_| |) _/ | __\\_ \_ _/ /___\\_ /___ / /_ _/ / _/| | \ | / / \ \__ _/ / / / \ / \ | |\ \ | / \ / \ \__ / \ / \| |/_____\____| /______\_____/ \ /______\ \__/_ __________| | _ ____________\ . _ ________\_____/ _ __________\ | | . : . . | | diP : : : : a! | | : : : : | | :.. ..: :.. ..: | | . :......: . . :......: . | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | "Sexy Evil Art" | +-------------------------------------------+--------------+------------+ .--.______.---------._.-------.---------. | Kempy/K0re | _| | l ... l l ... l_ +------+----------+---------+ \_ _____ ||| _ | _ ||| _/ | #14 | 18 Logos | km/k0 | |__| |_ _| |_______| 7_______|_ +------+----------+---------+-----+ . `------'`-------'`--' `-----' \/ | Logo Style [xxx.......] 03/10 | : [ k0re. ] [ february 2nd ] [ 2000 ] | Logo Design [xxxx......] 04/10 | `---------------------------------------. | Colly Design [xxxx......] 04/10 | geee - tribute to polish azkee hools! : | | .---------------------------------------' | Innovation Bonus +5 [.] | : "sexy evil art" typed by kempy'k0re. | Comeback Bonus +5 [.] | `--------------------------------------- | English-Text Bonus +5 [x] | | File_id Error Nuke -5 [.] | | | +-------------------------------------------+ [.] Plain Textfile | | IMHO this colly is a real disappointment | (no points given) | | in comparsion to Kempy's "Ninja" colly... | | | Unlike the "Ninja" style, this style | Total Points 16 of 45 | | is really plump and newbish, even if we +---------------------------------+ | all know that Kempy can do it better.

Actually it didn't affect at all to anyone in damones.. just gave us good laugh how ppl can be so small minded > you brought out a short, but great collection under twisted yesterday... a start of a comeback or just a lifesign ? anyways, I haven't been "away" from biz, just took some time to release this sucker :) hmmm, i have never declared I'm off, so it was absolutely a life sign.. I have never released more than two collections per year, so this is just typical me :) > hehe everybody has his own release policy... but tell me about yourself ! when you started to do THE artform ? in which groups have ou been ? Anyways, thanks for calling it great.. I had so two kind of thoughts about that colly I got my first computer, Atari ST on 87 and got my first swapmates on 88 so been in the scene kinda long.. I did some gfx, but first ascii pictures I did on 92 on my fathers pc I did first logos which were used in boards on 93 I guess when my friend malibu opened his board > you started with ascii on pc, in that early time ? thasts interesting... was thast pc char ascii or that amiga / \ stuff ? it was pc characters .. first time i tried amiga stylish asciis was in the end of 93 those logos were used on boards running on pc so no-one in amiga scene never saw my early logos > and have you bought yourself an amiga then or you drow the whole time till now with pc ? I actually never bought myself amiga, but I've been having several amigas on my table :) > hehe... amiga stealing sTZ-style or what ? =) not stealing, just lending for a long time :) > hehe... yeah "getting by lending" - "durch leihen erworben", like we call that =) > well, and when you joined head ? were you somewhere else before head ? I did kinda long intependently.. I had several offers from Azkiness, U'Race and some others, but I did on my way.. The reason I joined so lately was, that I had no opportunity to irc And, I joined to Head, cos Punk wrote me a letter > ah... well, head was one of the last big germany-based groups... were you in head till the end ? dipswitch> pk is asking for you on efnet. > zaner: yeah mmmh i'll be there in some 5 mins > zaner: i cant be on two different nets at the same time I wasn't in Head till the end.. I met relief and hotwire from Twisted and we had a idea, that perhaps I could join in.. The Head had already went kinda idle, and then punk kinda "disappered".. to > while being in head, you had also some troubles with wOOBER, who's now in arcade... you occused him to rip you, as i remember ? dipswitch> I know, I told him. well, that thing is sorted out long time ago, so no need to talk about that thing anymore.. anyways, thanks for reminding me about that =)ip b > do you have contact to him now ? has the relationship between both of you got better ? actually we never had any kind of relationship. we have been chatting in irc few years ago about something else than ascii art I guess we both just forgot the whole episode.. at least I did it was just about ascii anyways, not raping my wife or something :) > mhm... well.. what do you think about ascii scene in last time ? you know, the revival of aerosol, the founding of dream theatre, the whole east-european invasion =) as I said before the interview that I have no idea about current situation of ascii.. perhaps I'm a bit disappointed that all the cool groups disappeared. > yeah thats true - many groups disappeared... like some ppl may remember, aerosol never was really highly rated in the old days perhaps I'm living in the past, but I still think that not much decent has come from poland ;) it's nice to have collys from great artists like crusader and nup, but those two can't save the scene, even the would release once a month > "save the scene" ? so you think the scene is in danger ? not anymore.. the ascii scene I knew went down long ago. but, there are good days in the scene novadays sometimes i don't mean it died, it just changed to worse, sadly.. > and what are your plans for the future ? lean back and relax ? can people still can request from you ? of course people can request from me.. I just don't make logos for everybody or every use.. that's the policy I always had > you mean, nothing like "fame-style" and these whole bbs packs where everybody can use the logos ? I may release in the future.. that's much about, does neat collections appear that make me to show my best nonono, my logos are usually personal and I want to know they will be used before i spend time, cos sometimes one logo may take an hour or two.. that may sound something like science fiction, but I just want to do my best > really ? an hour for a logo ? not bad... that must be quality heheh... the quality thing can readers decide :) > most people i know spend perhaps 15 mins for a logo... remember I said sometimes :) .. but usually logo takes more than half an hour > welll .... i think we must come to an end ... thanx for the interesting interview ! wanna say some final words or greets ? my greetings can be found from the -t-dishr.txt so i don't wanna type the list now.. my final words are: before you release or do something, just spend a moment thinking does ppl want to see what you're putting together.. is it worth of their time ok? thank you, let's rotten together on 2k..watch > aiiight ! thank you ! and watch out for the TAC- 2000 issue coming on 1.3. ! > cu ! cheers mate, always a pleasure *** tHrEAz has left channel #tac2k ------------> now over to efnet... *** dipswitch (bbs@p3E9BEA44.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has joined channel #tac2k *** Users on #tac2k: dipswitch @zANEr @pk^ *** #tac2k 950966879 > zaner ! pk ! hey dipswitch > pk: sorry sorry that you had to wait so long...but you were away suddenly and i started to interview threaz...

I've often even asked to join but been refused, its rather embarrising. > isnt karma a pc .zip releasing group originally ? karma is a pc .zip releasing group .. I just had no other affils to release my ascii with . Its quite depressing if I think about it, so I wont =) No one ever remembers me or my ascii =) .. about as amiga as people remember me is for desiging the daydream ascii's .. years ago.. im not sure if they still use them. > ok, well here's a message to everybody who reads this in tac'2k: here's a skilled artist who needs a group to join...! > why not to try joining asl or something ? ... no im not desperate =) I was rejected. > rejected from aerosol ? really ? yes > why !? the coop with darkus was great ! no one even emailed to tell me I was rejected. I had to ask h7 > thats bad... i dont understand that... hmm.. but there are enough other great ascii groups,... in this thing i wish you big luck ! I enjoyed the co-op very much, however it was far too rushed and my ascii was a little dodgy However, I enjoyed having the privelledge of being able to draw with such a masterful drawer as darkus. I think I've tried to join arcade, aerosol, epsilon design, style, whale (back in like 95? or something) .. and a fare few others > you plan to stay active a while, like you were active in the last 3 days ? > you really tried to join arcade ? i would have taken you, but i not in arcade anymore.. i founded a new project, where btw are people from whale and arcade too =) sure, well uni starts back in little over a week, so once I go back I wont have soo much free time but I will still remain active doing asciis. unlike last year I tried to join arcade like 2 years ago I think, with my collection pk-aow.txt If I remember correctly. the only comment of appreciation I have ever recieved was recieved a few days ago by tekk. who genuinly messaged me out of the blue to comment on how much he enjoyed my style and how it had influenced his new style, for that I am very very very appreciated, it did mean alot. > well i wish you much luck in your group search.wanna say some final words ? ------------- LITTLE COMMENT: Now Phreak Klass is lucky member of Aerosol. ;) ------------- Well, what can I say, I enjoy to do ascii and Im happy to do ascii for anyone who wants them. > pk: wanna tell the readers how they can request some logos or get in tough with you ? well there is an infinate number of ways inwhich I can be reached, all of them are outlined in k-trs.txt .. such as email @ envision@q-net.net.au .. or irc as pk^ on efnet/icenet do you want to know who influenced me / etc? > pk: ah jeah of course ! =)...hehe i am quite light brained now from some nice dutch herbs =) acid kid .. firstly and foremostly influenced me .. I always loved his art and I always will, secondly was a person named fLICK who was a hpa character come aCid artist, who put to gether some VERY nice pieces in 94 .. in the Melbourne Australia scene... another person is Mogue, whose art I love and admire, I also enjoy sal-one's art especially his boondocks add. > aha... some other questions you want to ask yourself ? =) also another person is Rasta whose board I used to frequent .. I loved his Epsilon Design masterpieces. hehe, dutch herbs? let me see. no I think thats about it =) unless you have some questions to ask me Why did I stay with ascii art? because I was crap at ansi art in 94 so I kept with ascii > aiiiight ! okeeey thank you for you for the interview ! stay active and i'm sure someone will get interested in your art in the next future ! bye !
