acid, ice, what were some of the other groups? remember boards that u had to be ‘elite’ and name all the acronyms to get in? or have references? lulz, elitism will never go away, people are monkeys.. i was never good at ansi but i tried for hours and hours.. i was better @ ascii eventually but have never been that artistic.. but it was fun being part of something back then anyway

Perhaps the hostess instead of dying in the middle, should get nekkid, just a thought.

Don’t tell me he’s actually selling ansi art that he didn’t create himself and didn’t buy the rights for. That’s f***ed up!! I’m only a little relieved because I know my ansis weren’t good enough to make the cut for this exhibition, but if he is selling other artists’ work without paying them, that’s worse than anything rad man has ever done to the scene.

this is very badass. it would be better if the hostess was murdered on camera, though.

Good question. I believe the difference is that a geek has the brains, a nerd has the looks.

The fascinating point is they had to be actually type out their creative ideas.
The frustrating point is that while technology gets BETTER, people get DUMBER.
Or maybe it just enables dumber people to voice their opinions, because back then, when you had to actually type down a picture in octal the random idiot that needs a “break” if he needs to think about something simple couldnt find out how to plug in the modem.
