Overskou, Den Danske Skueplads As the remaining days of summer dwindle, we can only look back at the glorious days we had partying, drinking, or even just time alone. It was a summer to remember. Whether it was meeting strange people who shaved their heads and dyed them blue, asking strangers for the time in thirty second intervals, or stealing another's personal belongings, it was certainly memorable. ←[3CDark is, without a doubt, a Fifth Business. We fill a role that *isn't* a role. Hated and adored. It's an odd place to stand. It's also very difficult to get comfortable. ←[3CIt's an interesting group, whether or not you choose to acknowledge it's existence. Each member "bonds" with it in a different way, and the degree of what can only loosely be termed as loyalty, is layered. We share the credit and fame for work well done. We're forced to share the blame as well, which can bring discomfort. This process, however, determines the "core" of loyal members. Some willing to weather out the storms, and others looking to jump ship at the earliest signs of trouble. ←[3CThere are also conflicts. These must also be resolved, and can leave scars and harsh feelings in their wakes. We've suffered them before, and will no doubt continue to suffer them; yet we march on. ←[3CThere are heroes, and there are villains. Dark is made up of both, but Dark itself *is* neither. ←[1mMemberlisting Update←[0m The flux of members has been pretty chaotic this month, and reasons vary. Here are a few notable additions to the group: ←[3C←[1mEiht Ball ←[0mjoins the Dark ANSI department. ←[3C←[1mThe Dark Side←[0m, ←[1mPrimus←[0m, and ←[1mRubidium Bromide←[0m also join Dark, expanding the ←[6CVGA department even further. ←[3C←[1mHannibal The Cannibal←[0m, a veteran of the early Dark years, returns, perhaps ←[6Cas a nostalgic whim. ;) ←[3C←[1mMaster of Darkness←[0m, a local (and rabid) Dark supporter, joins the Members department as an all-around helping hand. His tail still hasn't stopped ←[6Cwagging! ←[3C←[1mDeath Karnage←[0m joined us last month, despite a lack of mention in the ←[6Cmemberlist. ←[3CA few changes worth mentionning: ←[3C←[1mThe Dark Agressor←[0m and ←[1;36mDavid Tym←[0m are now known as ←[1mShinya Sasa←[0m and ←[1;36mEternal←[0m ←[6C←[1;36mVigilance←[0m, respectively. ←[3CPlease forgive (*and report*) any omissions. ←[1mInternet News←[0m Dark's presence on the net continues to grow. A preview of the new Web page's graphics have been included in this month's pack; Prison Breaker's VGA should give you a good idea of what to expect. ←[1mFilenames←[0m Dark releases artwork under filenames with 5 letter abbreviations of the handle of the artist and, 2 numbers corresponding to the number of pieces they've released. ←[1m ←[0m ←[62C←[1m ←[0m Example: ARTST-01.DRK for ARTIST's firt piece. ←[1mWha'fuck? (tm)←[0m "desalvo's reviews scare me." -- Dieznyik "Backing things up is highly-overrated; hey, mind sendin' up that copy again? ←[4C I accidently deleted it." -- The Green Hornet "My last ANSI blinded a group of kindergarten students singlehanded." -- ←[5CEssential Obscenity "Profanity is the crutch of the inarticulate, motherfucker!" -- One of ←[5CHannibal the Cannibal's taglines. "Man, if I had a HD that big, I'd just sit there, type 'chkdsk', and stare ←[5Cat it for hours." -- The Green Hornet "Besides, she sings like a muzzled wendigo." -- Xypher Matryx ←[1mRumor Mill←[0m ←[3CSomeone's been impersonating Black Widow, and releasing ANSIs to boot! The projected release date of Carnifex's VGA - 2014. "I worked on it for 5 hours today; I think I've got the left cornea's shadow right!" ←[3CVortex (the music disk) may come out sometime before armageddon. ←[3CForlorn Extender (desalvo) wasn't joking. ←[3CDark's Summer of Hate World Tour will end in a vendetta strike against an iguana-butcher somewhere in the US. Biological weapons and telephone poles have been listed in an arsenal request form, leaked to the press. ←[1mFake to black...←[0m ←[3CIt's no secret there's turmoil within the ranks. No sense hiding it. However, of one you thing you can be sure: we're here to stay. Expect some big changes next month.
