AVS featured in PCFormat magazine
In the March issue of PCFormat there is a half page article on AVS including links to winamp.com and small reviews of eight AVS packs - Whacko AVS, EL-VIS HISTORY, I wanna be Frank Nagel, Tuggummi Innovation, AV Antholology, Why-Eye Full Circle, Danjoe's PIXel and Jheriko J7. Also the coverdisc features the complete works of UnConeD and myself along with three why-eye.org packs, EL-VIS HISTORY, PIXel and Tuggummi Innovation. For those of you who wish to see the article I'll scan it when I get my scanner working... for those with less patience you can order a copy of PCF from www.futurepublishing.co.uk the article can be found on page 134.

oh yes, i'd be interested in getting a decent scan. got icq/msn/aim?

i hope i get an issue at the airport :)


2nd March 2003 17:32 UTC

I'll post it up here when I set up my scanner.


2nd March 2003 17:42 UTC

Cool! Can't wait to see it.


2nd March 2003 18:00 UTC

Yeah, that's awesome. I like all those packs except for the whyeye ones.


2nd March 2003 19:11 UTC

cant wait to see that...


2nd March 2003 20:51 UTC

Finally avs gets some attention...Maybe the nullsoft team wakes up and tryes to finish(or start...) avs 3.


2nd March 2003 21:11 UTC

I doubt that will happen anytime soon. They have too much on their plate right now.


2nd March 2003 21:25 UTC

I think you said this,cant remember but some guys who know coding and know how avs works should give nullsoft a hand.Maybe we can all help to improve the next studio...


2nd March 2003 21:36 UTC

ehm...no offense, i think you're a great avser - but i don't think you should be put next to unconed (i.e. complete works on the CD)...not that i think anyone else should, mind you :)

and avsociety anthology...that was a piece of shit. hardly any of the presets were watchable-- why in god's name is it on an avs article in the first place? :weird:


3rd March 2003 06:46 UTC

WOW! I can't really say nothing else! I wish i pwn3d i credit card so i could order it... It's not an age question you all know that, i just don't have one :D

/me goes sit in a corner biting his fingernails and waiting for jheriko to post the scan...


3rd March 2003 10:22 UTC

tried to get an issue, but the international press section still had the february issue :(


3rd March 2003 10:39 UTC

lol your newsagents are slow, here we get next months issue of all magazines.

And in case you are wondering, I am a cheap bastard and cannot afford that magazine.


3rd March 2003 11:10 UTC

well, it's a foreign magazine for me, so i'm lucky that one *can* get it :)


3rd March 2003 16:52 UTC

Wow, cool. I would be very interested in reading that article.


4th March 2003 01:18 UTC

yup its a bit low quality but i had to sacrifice a little to fit the file size limit.


4th March 2003 02:19 UTC

n33t :)

*curses at them calling unconed bizzarre* :p


4th March 2003 03:01 UTC

Nice that Winamp/AVS is getting some recognition, but they used some of the worst presets IMO. Never really liked Jacob's Ladder for instance - should have gone with dreamtime for el-vis.

*me farts in their general direction at them calling UnConeD bizarre*


4th March 2003 03:15 UTC

Jacob's ladder is actually pretty good (to me)

One of the things I like the most about the article : "An entire community of coders" =P (Well, I can't code :) ) (That and the fact that it regards us as a whole community. Now to get 10+ more people...)


4th March 2003 04:46 UTC

rats... i was hoping they would have displayed on of my own presets... oh well


4th March 2003 04:56 UTC

what issue is this?


4th March 2003 06:11 UTC

EDIT BUTTON


4th March 2003 06:14 UTC

Wow cool, they called me stunning :igor: I guess they just fainted after seeing the awful Innovation pack... which i think is total crap generally and i still can't understand why the hell it has so many downloads *sigh*

*Unleashes satanic powers towards them for calling UnConeD Bizarre*


4th March 2003 08:46 UTC

i think they mean advanced vis studio, wtf with calling unconed bizzarre? me sending a letter bomb! i feel flatered to be called a "coder"


4th March 2003 14:27 UTC

Ummh good to see the exposure. :)
Probably mean a whole new wave of newbie questions (read the FAQ)though. :);)

I will try and have a look later on today.

I am surprised that there was no discussion by thje article author here. We probably could have helped more.

Yeah... by changing the title of the magazine to AVSFormat and filling it with 200 pages of AVS articles. :D

4th March 2003 18:07 UTC

ummh........what issue was it again I have just looked through a copy of (i think) PC format for MArch 2003 and could not find anything in it.
