Now.. lets do this shit.
Dangermouse:
Now, I've talked to you b4, and well, seen u in #ansi since
i've ever been in the scene, but never found out what you've
been up to
So,
first of all, slap yer stats on me, ie. name, age, sex,
hobbies..
Empty:
name: Mike, age: 18, sex: As often as humanly possible,
hobbies: Hrm.. well normal things. i'd guess.
Dangermouse:
How long have you been in the scene?
Empty:
irc wise.. 2 years.. well.. now 3... but from the local
board scene to now, about 5 to 6 years.
Dangermouse:
Were bbs's an integral part of your entry into the scene?
Empty:
Yeah, it's basicly were i got my start.. like most everyone
i used to be a pd caller on my krad 300 buad modem.. downloading
old games that were 200k, or 300k the first cool game i
remember getting was, hmm.. i think commander keen.
Dangermouse:
How did you did involved within the art scene? *detailed
answer*
Empty:
Well as you know sinister x got me into the scene, but i
never really did art... so one day i just got bored off
my ass.. downloaded aciddraw, and started playing with ascii..
that was about 3 years back, and well i liked it..(ansi
is for gimps..real men draw ascii BITCH) and i kept doing
it.. my first group to join i think was purg..then came
blind and surge and grape..my first major group was cia..
Dangermouse:
Cool..
oh
yeah, I DID ANSI PUNK :)
Empty:
My point exactly =)
You're
a gimp =)
Dangermouse:
OH!
Dangermouse:
You still in cia?
Empty:
No.. i was in cia from packs 38, to 42.. i was senior staff
and ran the ascii div for most of that time.. i quit cia
about 9 months ago..
Thats
also when i quote unquote stopped drawing ascii
Dangermouse:
Why so?
Empty:
Then about.. oh.. 8 to 7 months back i joined Remorse Ascii..
Well
it's like this, I drew because it was fun.. i never charged,
or asked for anything in return i'd just take requests..
i liked it.. then it gradually became a chore to me.. and
when it quit being fun, i dropped it.
Dangermouse:
Yeah, i can relate to that
But,
yeah back to Remorse, how'd you get involved with that,
I thought you said you dropped ascii
Empty:
Well i did, but then i wanted to still do something for
the scene, and i started Tyrone(the only pure ascii scene
magazine at the time) and i asked Necromancer if he wanted
it to be remorse related, and we both agreed that it would
be a remorse publication, its a monthly mag, im on issue
5 now.. and it's changed formats from month to month.. i
actully drew something in remorse 11 when i joined.. a good-bye
to noname ascii..(one of the BEST ascii groups of our time)
and from then on i've been senior staff in remorse and run
the remorse quake clan and shit.. just doing adminstrative
type things for the group.
oh
and #ascii owns #ansi.
Dangermouse:
Ahh.. Tell me more about tyrone, like who is involved, and
how it has been recieved within the scene..
Empty:
Well Tyrone(the big black nigger mag of ascii) is just a
mag about ascii.. anyone can submit articles and draw for
it.. its a unbiased mag.. i release anything that is given
to me, even if it bashes me or the group im in.. Anyone
can write.. ansi guys or ascii guys, but the article's must
pertain to Ascii
Dangermouse:
So, I could submit an article "Empty sucks my nads", and
get away with it? :)
Empty:
Yeah, I'd release it. Its like the voice of #ascii sorta.
People voice what ever opinions they want.
Dangermouse:
So, where do you see empty going this bouncing 1998?
Empty:
Hrm.. well my girl friend is moving back down here this
summer.. we're going to get more invovled and less out of
the scene.. but ill still be here to rag on.
Dangermouse:
Heh.. and remorse and tyrone? Going from strength to strength?
Empty:
Yeah. I plan to stick with those. Remorse is a fun group
and well we own you all
So
im sticking with remorse.. and if i quit necrom would hire
radman to cap me or something, either that more make me
look at acid packs.
Dangermouse:
Another thing, what do you think of the scene of yesteryear
compared to today?
Empty:
Well i think the ansi scene blows completely, acid is no
longer respected as it used to be..Radman got rid of ansi..
and well that was stupid.. i dont think theres anyway to
fix the scene from what it once was.. i'd much rather be
back in the oldschool days of the scene rather than now
The
ascii still is still respectable in my opinion.. We still
have groups around, lots of oldschool ascii people are around
Dangermouse:
Welp, thats about it..
Empty:
Yippie.
Dangermouse:
Thanks, been nice jabbering to yer
