Ranking: 9.5/10 Comments: didnt get 10/10 cuz they are not showing off thier full potential yet :) AMNESiA: nail nail nail nail nail and again nail... thats all we see from amn this week and its becoming a steady thing for the amn crew, although they have picked up virus and he did score on some sites - but he still needs to gain more experience, and except for that jfking popped up here and there, but nothing serious, with the resources amn have id expect them to show more traders on the top10 chart. Ranking: 4/10 Comments: where'd drunkkid go ? RISE iN SUPERIOR COURIERING: Well i did say last week lets see some more from the risc crew, and they sure as hell are showing it - another good team effort from this group, even though they have only psedo with his usual ownage and worp with some nice trading in the top10, they had avalanche and flavor backing them up, and it seems this foursome will get risc some solid preformance in the coming weeks, if flavor and avalanche try harder i think risc can secure themselves the #2 position and even maybe try to go for #1. Ranking: 8/10 Comments: teamwork... thats the key word here DEVOTiON: Nothing new this week... the usual tc preing+trading and jaydee preing, backed up by some serious jaydee preing and some of sj and garoto, no team effort but still they dont have competition at #4 position... is that what we'll see from dev until officedog/godbless/native come back ? Ranking: 4/10 Comments: make garoto trade again ViCE: Leme just say WOW about citizen... pulling off a great #3 showing off his skills but noone was there to help citizen and get vice out of the #5 spot, and until someone wakes up i dont think well see vice getting out from #5 any time soon. Ranking: 3/10 Comments: time to call nailz :) MOONSHiNE: Just after i congratulated msn for the successful invasion to europe they have a so so week, not doing some real damage like last week, showing they are new to this and there is no stability there yet, but they should be able to compete with vice for #5. Ranking: 3/10 Comments: lets see some stability FastLane: Still nothing serious from the FL crew, and unless Fl ppl start showing up in some more sites and in higher positions than they have had this week i dont think FL would be a serious force in the euro scene. Ranking: 1/10 Comments: ok so your here... now where are the megs ? :) Insanity: Cept for being in the top5 in thier whq and scoring at low positions in some mediocre sites theres nothing impressive going on in the INS camp. Ranking: 1/10 Comments: show some presence! -----------[ Articles ]----------- =----------------------------------=--------------------------------------= -----------[ The Gaming Report ]----------- ================================================================================== OMG YET ANOTHER GAMES REPORT ISSUE #6 ------------------------------------- Note: This report is best viewed in DOS Editor, AcidDraw, some other good ASCII editor, or on the chest of a Playboy Bunny. Back again, with more consistancy than Hugh Hefner on viagra! With all the wit and intelligence of The Howard Stern Show! As recommended by... ME! It was a rough & tumble week in games. Lots of player moves. Franchises folded, new ones were born. OMG this is worse than Novocaine's courier sports center. - The Preacher Kane The Points: ----------- * Games will be scored on a scale of 0 to 5, points being awarded according to the quality of the title. And not just quality by name - after all, an anticipated "blockbuster" can suck as badly as the worst budget schlock. * A fix will result in a loss of .5 (one half) of a point. If the fix is released by a group other than that which released the game, they will earn the extra point. * Addons such as Movies and Music will earn between 1 and 2 points, depending on the title AND whether or not they actually ENHANCE the gaming experience. Addons released by groups other than the group who originally released the game will not be considered. Addons of essential features (IE Textures, 3DFX, stuff that should not have been ripped to begin with) will result in the loss of 1 point. Which means certain titles can earn points even if some people consider them "rapes" - I'm on a modem after all! * Retail addons will recieve a score of between 1 and 4 points if they are developed by the original developers of the game, or are officially licensed. Unofficial addons will not be considered. Standalone addon packs are always preferable to a standard addon release. If a group releases an addon which is later released as a standalone, only the standalone will recieve points. * Update patches and trainers will earn 1 point each provided they are fully working. A trainer released by a group after an existing trainer has already been made available in an earlier release will only be considered if it offers something NEW, otherwise it will be considered a DUPE. * Cheat codes will be worth .5 (one half) of a point. Since updates and trainers take more skill to produce, simple cheat codes cannot be assigned an equal value. * A DUPE of a game will result in the loss of 1 point, with the following exception: A game that was lost during a race between two groups will not result in the loss of any points (we do need some competition in the scene!). * Repackaging of a game will result in the loss of .5 (one half) of a point. * Non-English games will not be considered. Sorry, I only speak one language. * I retain the right to bend the rules any way I see fit! * DATES * This time around I'm including all the releases since my last report - 02/13/00 thru to 02/29/00. Or something like that. Now on with the report...

Oh damn, this is Backlash. Who from this moment forth shall be referred to as Patchlash. The Good: Quake is cool. Doom is GOD. The Bad: Don't expect a repeat of this momentus effort anytime soon. ^^^ I said it last week and they doubled their effort, doing not one but *TWO* (yes, two!) patches. So maybe if I say it again we'll see three next week. The Ugly: Connie Chung didn't die this week. Neither did Richard Simmons.

We shall see. For now they did their usual healthy mix of decent games and patches, with no major problems for once. The Good: Invictus looks ok, I haven't played it though so don't hold me to it. Grand Prix World from Microprose doesn't look to special, but you can manage "every aspect" of an F1 team, according to the box hype. Honestly I just want to race. Believe it or not, I actually saw PBA Tour Bowling 2 get some GOOD reviews. I'm still only going to score it a 2 though. The Bad: Multiplayer maps were once apon a time considered essential to the enjoyment and playability of a game. Removing them would get one's enemies screaming rape. So I docked CLS a point, but I don't blame them for removing the maps. On this note, a lot of groups have been having talks on and off regarding the disk limit and ripping issues, yet as usual it's mostly egos and nothing gets done, despite some promise. If a change happens, lets just hope it's not an excuse for oversized games. The Ugly: I forgot to rag last week: MiniMe did a HORRIBLE dupe of OGN on Heartbreaks. Now the game blows, it lasted five minutes on my system. If you remember, I noted OGN could have made it a disk or two smaller with MP3'ing but they didn't bother. And I didn't care since it was seven disks. Well, MiniMe not only duped but somehow made it almost three times the size of the OGN release! Now why is this under the CLS section...

The Good: Well, nothing stands out, but nothing wrong with any of the releases, which makes my job rather boring. The UT Bonuspack, for those who didn't know, includes new skins and other new goodies (including a WarCow!!), and was free to registered users. It's a legit release though since it need "modifacation" to make it work for rip users. And unlike a lot of UT update patches, this baby works, so if you're a UT fan grab it. The Bad: Well, no games.

Well, this is what happens when EGOS collide. That's right kids, Origin and Paradigm have merged! Twice the ego under one roof! Both of these groups have struggled recently, but it is a slow time of year. Still, this definately creates a strong group that can provide competition for CLS - if certain members don't kill each other first. And it seems not everyone was happy with the merge, and a few are rumoured to have jumped ship, with others considering it. The Good: A big start, with four games so far. C&C TS: Firestorm was a great score, and getting it out as a standalone was even better. The Bad: You can see the OGN influence in Whitetail Extreme. Leave the hunting games for Divine, at least when they release them there's usually a good NFO to read. Oh, and Valusoft owns. Really. The Ugly: One week, some good releases, but a fix already.

The Good: Complaints about the mistakes of two groups can now be directed to one channel. The Bad: It's invite only. The Ugly: They probably wouldn't be much help anyways. Swat3 1.2 Patch was released four times this week. PDM screwed up, CLS did a good one, and OGN and PDM's fixed copy were slow to be spread.

The Good: Darkstone patch worked. The Bad: Swat3 update was just plain horrible. The game has Cdilla, the patch needs cracking, yet it wasn't done even CLOSE to properly. CLS did a proper one, followed by PDM's own working release and one by OGN. CLS made it around first where I looked so they win. The Ugly: That patch thing had to be REALLY embarassing. ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ █ Game Name: [ RELEASE NAME (c) COMPANY ] █ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█▄ █ ███▀▀▀██▄ ███▀▀▀██▄ ▄██▀▀▀██▄ ▄██▀▀▀██▄ ███ ▄██▀▀▀██▄ ▄██▀▀▀██▄ █ █ █▓█ ░ █▓█ █▓█ ░ █▓█ █▓█ ░ █▓█ █▓█ ░ █▓█ █▓█ █▓█ ░ █▓█ █▓█ ░ █▓█ █ █ █▒█ ░ █▒█ █▒█ ░ █▒█ █▒█ ░ █▒█ █▒█ ░ █▒█ █▒█ █▒█ ░ █▒█ █▒█ ░ █▒█ █ █ █░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ █░█v64█░█ █░█ ░ ███ █░█ █░█ ▀▀▀ █░█ █░█ █ █ █ █▀▀▀▀▀▀ █ █▀▀▀██▄ █ █▀▀▀▀▀▀ █ █ ░ █ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀███ █ █▀▀▀▀▀▀ █ █ █░█ ░░░░░ █░█ ░ █░█ █░█ ░ ███ █░█ ░ ███ █░█ ███ ░ █░█ █░█ ░ ███ █ █ █▒█ ░░░░░ █▒█ ░ █▒█ █▒█ ░ █▒█ █▒█ ░ █▒█ █▒█ █▒█ ░ █▒█ █▒█ ░ █▒█ █ █ █▓█ ░░░░░ █▓█ ░ █▓█ █▓█ ░ █▓█ █▓█ ░ █▓█ █▓█ █▓█ ░ █▓█ █▓█ ░ █▓█ █ █ ███ ░░░░░ ███ ░ ███ ▀██▄▄▄██▀ ▀██▄▄▄██▀ ███ ▀██▄▄▄██▀ ▀██▄▄▄██▀ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█▀ █ RLSDate: [??/??/99] █ █ Disk Count: [XX/??] █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ PRECISE: RELEASES: POINTS: Total: Nada.

I debated combining the points of OGN and PDM and adding them to Myth. Then I thought better of it. Myth will be judged on their own merit, they will get a clean slate, but I'm not helping them out any. The sad part about PDM going... try as they might, they never could catch up to DVN over the past few months, and it was a good race. In just one week, Myth hops past Precise and Backlash on the to-date ranking, and it doesn't look like Razor will last long. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SPECIAL FEATURE JUST TO FILL SPACE AND KILL TIME: THE ORIGIN & PARADIGM MERGER: AN EDITORIAL `````````````````````````````````````````` The games scene has been pretty steady as far as brand names have gone over the past year. Razor, Class, Paradigm, Divine, Origin. The big five, all visible. Sure, there were some busts, members changes, and idleness. And Precise and Scar hit the scene, but really, MiniMe has caused more of a stir than those two. So the gaming community sat back and grew fat and happy with some reliable names. But this past week, that all came crashing down (Unnessecary dramatics inserted for shock value only - Ed). So Paradigm and Origin have merged. So what? The games will still come, right? If you're a game player, have no fear, they'll still be there. On the other hand, the field just got a lot smaller. The scene's gone from five top groups to four. With Razor faltering and fading fast (it's been said before, and they're stormed back, but for now it's true) we're really left with three groups. And in all honesty, with Divine lacking on the supply front, we're down to two. So will it be a showdown between Class and Myth? Well, expect those two to dominate the gaming scene over the next few months minimum, if Myth can hold it together and not fall victim to internal conflicts which plague the birth of all new groups. The only thing left (that's interesting) is the reasoning behind the groups decision to merge. Lets simplify this into a brief paragraph. Paradigm has been faltering. Most of its original members, and newer core players, are gone. Many have faced busts and lawsuits and the like. Even if everyone was able to walk away free, the group would never be the same. Without a solid core, and with too much unwanted attention, a quick change was in order. For Origin, on the other hand, internal faltering may not have been the problem. The limeys did managed to pick up some good titles over the past year. But lack of ripping and cracking talent saw many of their better titles buggy or broken. A marge with Paradigm brings them additional ripping skill and experience, as well as stronger connections in the US. The Origin/Deviance relationship which was once incredibily strong is no longer a factor giving the Limeys an advantage, and this makes up for it. And there's a little thing called competition and the need to trimuph. Myth is undoubtably stronger than either group alone was. Lets just hope quality is impacted in a positive way, since the field of competitors has narrowed so greatly. From the Myth NFO file: ``````````````````````` MYTH is the new star in the gaming heaven. We have been founded by members of the groups PARADiGM and ORiGiN. Of cause we accept new members. That means, if you are able to get games because you have connections to a Electronic Botique or a Games Magazine or even in a game company, you should apply (see the contact section below) We will reimburse the costs you have to supply the game and may also feed you with a leech account in any of these countries: USA, DE, NL, SE, FI. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Well that's from the NFO file so don't bitch about me including it here, NFO files will spread a lot further than NWR, and if Myth didn't want it read, they wouldn't have wrote it. An interesting week, to say the least. Too bad most of the games sucked. Greets to: Ionizer, Jimmy Jamez, Bud, Prozac, Lester, and anyone else who's written reports which I am basically leeching off of for format and style! - The Preacher Kane. =----------------------------------=--------------------------------------= -----------[ Bud's Biased Utils Section ]----------- Well, nick0rz and jess0rz hackjob utils report.

I've decided to go completely away from the weekly report of isos, not enough releases come out and I do not have the time to do it anyways, but our monthly charts will continue to grow and become better each month, but this month is like last months. IF NWR is on time, this report will time out perfect, the 29th of feb and NWR will rls, so no releases should be missed on the monthly report and no time lapse in the release. That's a big if though, knowing NWR and lester. *NOTE*: This list was made by dupechecking on some good sites, so some dates may be off or possibly a release missed, if we miss anything, please email [email protected] with your release list at the end of the month to help us properly catalog and review your group each month.

They land some pretty nice titles, but only 6 releases, since they had 14 last month. Unigraphics is obviously the cream of the crop, they had to do a little fix on the crack, but it still was a nice release getting it out before shipping date. Cimatron comes out finally after a long wait, guess it took em awhile to finish the rest of the stuff on the cd, but there it is. Ironcad is the other gem here, a real nice cad program that gets overlooked alot in the top rankings of cad/cam titles. They also put out a new solidmaster update, with an extra update on the cd, which was a nice touch. So a nice quality month, but not as active.

A few updates of some nice titles, they repacked FORMZ, which loses them a point on the quality scaled, but clearly the top group of the month, getting their spot back from last month.

But they had to do a crackfix on Omega research and a re-rls of SF acid rock, so not a real smooth month for the boys at PSF. The apps are nice, but nothing super spectacular here. Inventor is obviously the best, but it's been talked about alot, massive props to PSF for the fixup though. Metacreations Vector effects is another real nice program for PSF this month, I'm not familiar with the first 2 apps but they seemed to be of nice quality from the descriptions, downloading and burning every iso released does not appeal to me. <g> Top Releases: Inventor fix, KPT Vector.

I would have too much trouble trying to decide which was supposed to be where in the top 10. ------- The month of February goes to TFL with a commanding number of releases over the rest of the competition, with rise pulling second and PSF grabbing 3rd. All of the top 3 had some real nice apps through the month and each group had a few mistakes as well, hopefully we will see less and less of these nukes, but seeing as how this is today's scene, I doubt it. A nice month though, with some of the top cad/cam titles of the year out, as well as probably one of the best overall apps of the year, 3dsmax. until next month, I bid you adieu. -NWR Staff. Pardon me while I burst... C-ya next time.. =---------[ Lester's Movie Reviews ]----------= Sure he's a prominent scene member, leader of the #1 courier group, and former "Miss Scene 1995".. But did you also know that in real life, Lester's real name is "Roger", and he hosts a popular syndicated television show, where he plays a big fatass who has nothing better to do with his time than go to every single movie ever released? Well.. now you know.. Uhmmm..wtf did I see? OH YEA Wonder Boys Starring: Michael Douglas, Tobey Maguire, Katie Holmes, & Robert Downey Jr. Rating: 3 1/2 out of 4 Stars This is a nice little comedy about writers. Douglas plays a teacher with some...problems..his wife left him, one of his students lives with him, and another student is well, disturbed. It's hard to really describe the scope of this film, as you'd give away alot of the fun. It's a great movie and all the actors are superb in it. If downey could just stay out of jail and make a few more movies, he might have a nice career. <G> ------ Reindeer Games Starring: Ben Affleck, Charlize Theron(OMG), Gary Sinise Rating: 3 out of 4 Stars Directed by: John Frankenheimer(Arlington Road/Scream3) Well, Frankenheimer is turning into one of my more favorite screenwriters and directors, I loved Arlington Road and Scream3 was a pleasant surprise, he's done plenty of other movies but these are recent gems for him. This film is also quite good, has some nice surprise twists that you don't really see coming(much like his style), and Theron is just a goddess, she is amazingly hot, and she's naked as per her contract I guess, she is naked in every movie she makes but that damn monkey one. Affleck plays a convict who gets out of jail and gets with his penpal(theron) and they do the wild thing and then her brother spoils the party by trying to get affleck to help his gang of idiots to rob the local casino. Fun times for all. ------- =----------------------------------=-------------------------------------= =---------[ VCD Group and Movie Reviews ]----------= VCD Group and Movie Review We would like to begin by explaining some of the common terms used in VCD releasing. These formats are: CAM - A cam is usually a handheld camera snuck into a full theatre. The base is shaky, the audio is poor, you can hear people laughing and talking. A cam is distinguishable by usually having a combination of all three or more of these flaws. Most sites nuke cams for their general poor quality. Workprint - An early release of a movie. These are usually stolen or leaked copies of movies that have made their way onto VCD from VHS or a variety of other sources. These will usually contain running time codes as well as other identifying marks used in movie production. The quality on these can vary from bad to very good depending on the quality of the source material used to encode the VCD. Note: This category is also used for very bad screeners or copies of movies that just didn't fit into any of the other categories due to defects or problems with the quality of the VCD's audio/video image. Telesync - Basically a very good Cam. A steady base such as a tripod is used, the theatre is empty or very close to empty, and the audio and video are up to par. Although, you can usually detect some flaw with a TS. You may see a random head pop up, the screen edges are noticable, or the audio isn't always crystal clear. While not perfect, the quality in general of a telesync ranges from good to very good and is usually the first type of VCD made of a new movie. Screeners - These are the top quality VCDs. They can be in either widescreen (letterbox) or in full-screen (pan and scan) with excellent audio and video. These are made from video distributors demo tapes, reviewers copies, insider copies of the film or from any number of sources. Most screeners will contain "1-800-NO-COPIES" or "Property of.." messages somewhere in the film, but it's not a requirement to fit into the screener category. These most closely resemble a VHS or LaserDisc copy of the movie. They're easily identifiable by their top quality. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nope:( =----------------------------------=-------------------------------------= ---------------------[ Da' Game Review ]--------------------------------= DENNISON'S GAME REVIEW ---------------------- Denni has a busy week, so no reviews here, I'll do one tho. Whitetail Extreme rlsed by Myth sometime last week Ok, I thought hey, a hunting game sounds like a little late night fun while i'm bored, shoot some animals and shit. So i fire it up, you get a bow and a gun, nice deal, all looks fine so far, but then you get to the actual "gameplay" which is like less interactive than a fucking XXX game. You click and the screen changes, every once in awhile a damn deer pops up, half of them you can't even shoot at. You can't shoot at random shit either, it has to be a deer your supposed to fire at, etc..I played this thing for about 20-25 minutes, didn't fire my fucking gun once, exitted and deleted the bitch. Thank god for the scene, if I had purchased that game I would have got my own gun and gone hunting for best buy employees. So in review, the game sucks dick. -----------[The Scene News]----------- All the news thats fit to print... and then some... OGN & PDM merge to form MYTH, whatever the point of that was.
