 /_____/ KURWAAMIGASCHEISSERS - Down Minsk /_________________________________/
    
    -Fails as a noise prod, feels too lazy. More work, louder noise and a more
     developped message could have made this prod not suck.
    -Needed a DLL.  Noise and FY message dont really appeal.  Kind of demo I'm
     happy to run in a sandboxed virtual machine.
    -Missing MSVCR100.dll, had to track that down prior to running. Eh."FU too"
    -Why?
    -Boring.
    -You too.
    -Demo would not run correctly in Windows 7 64-bit ("The application was 
     unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)."). Do not have 32-bit Windows to 
     test with.  Based on the included KASNOISE.MP3 and .NFO file, something 
     tells me this wasn't a great loss.

    -Pros: Written 100% in assembler. Emulation of bitplanes in a chunky medium.
     Cons: Music lacks musicality (randomly generated?).  Demo never ends.  
     Simple effects that use less than 1% of any modern CPU.
     Misc: h.samso continues to elude categorization (troll? mental?).
     That is not a complement.
    -I wonder, considering the effort going into these things, why isn't bits 
     actually learning anything?
    -classic BITS style  ;-)  classic effects but nothing catchy.
    -I felt this production had some heart (literately), and I have to give it
     props for it's political statement. Beyond that, it just doesn't have enough
     to inspire.
    -A few bonus points for effort.
    -Thanks for persistence.
    -Nice effort. Good colors. some actual music and more sync would have been 
     welcome. And next time try to make it a one-piece, non-looping thing :)

    -Pros: Pauses and waits for user to adjust font! Good font rendering.
     Cons: Relies on TextFX. WAY too short.
     Misc: Wish they had more time to finish it.
    -Good old block graphics =)
    -Music hinted to something epic but fell short, however, nice mellow mix 
     of classic elements. Thumbs up.
    -Very smooth transitions from effects. Almost felt like it was saying a 
     story... and then ended abruptly... awww :(. Wish it lasted much longer.
    -Not bad.
    -Nicely done.
    -Too slow to end so soon. Felt empty. Good effects none the less. Next time,
     work more on the pacing and colors.

    -Pros: Limited character set a welcome departure. Good music. Raytracing!
     Demo is adjustable (speed vs. rendering quality).
     Cons: Color/lighting choices in the latter scenes neither favored textmode
     nor showed up well on it. Object show.
    -Hawt.
    -Nice RT, sync and color choices.  Fresh & enjoyable. Tech & design lead!!
    -Outstanding musical track, put forth with some nice ray-tracing. Didn't
     entirely make "text mode beautiful", but gosh... a real nice prod. 
     Tops of 2011. Thank you.
    -Nice and solid performance, a modern take of a demo put in textmode.
    -Best of the bunch.
    -Kicks butts. Awesome rendering, with deep and shiny colors. The fat sharpen
     filter works really well here.
