KING OF KONG...
I watched this film the other day. My first reaction was "GOSH! ARE THESE GUYS FOR REAL!?!" - but I couldn't stop thinking of the C64 SCENE of today...
This "Billy" character could almost be some scene-moderator -
obsessed with rules and scared of the competition...
But I guess this kind of ultra-nerds is only fiction...
Here...have a peek:

I was the nerd-lord then cos I was still swapping snail mail in the early ninetees.
get yer facts right groepaz only a minority of the sceners were using bbs back in the days but nowadays everbody claims cos it sounds cool they owned or used a bbs which is just a load of crap.
you lads should dust off your indian outfits and smoke the peacepipe cos I'm pretty sure you secretly love eachother heheh. let me know when cos I wanna join in! |

you forgot to mention that your "scene" buddies that create super funny stuff like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vExp7HyS5nM have absolutely nothing in common with "king of kong" whatsoever, and practically own this scene for real! yeah!

rotfl. yeah, sure =) if you seriously think that anyone is even remotely scared by your so called competition, then i have no doubts that you ask yourself wether other people are for real =P

without beeing present at atleast a few major boards, how would you even participate in the firstrelease scene?
the key point here really is what you call scene and what not (hence my question about the local lamer group). as for me, i dont call every lamer who can link an intro to some crap game "scener". and certainly not everyone whose only skill is copying other peoples cracks - and that very much excludes the majority of those people you are refering to 
as for the minority - don't forget that mail swapping is very much, and mostly, an european thing. in the US, where pretty much most of the scene happened until the late 80s, it was very uncommon, and indeed the majority used BBSs - even lots and lots of non sceners did.
and by the time when "beeing a scener" became a mass phenomena, sometime around 87/88/89, certainly everyone who played a role worth mentioning in europe also had access to a modem.

same here but i certainly wasnt a scener either until 1988/89 or so

hey groepaz you know that (mega) swappers without any other abilities (like coding, drawing or composing) were also part of the scene?
you don't seem to like that but hey what can you do?
you are right about the ntsc scene though. most of them used boards yes but don't forget the impact (mega) swappers had in the european scene. they were just part of it whether you call them lamers or not.
on another point I guess you and TWR would make a great couple. now take that joke will ya? heheh. |
