First Words .......................................................... : Hiya all! There was an interesting review of HugiNews in Pain 2/00, it was like this: "If you happen to read HugiNews .. come on! This 'scene newspaper' .. hm .. You don't know it? Remember .. The thing that was released to make PS move his ass bringing concurency to the Demojournal .. hello! .. HELLO! AM I ALONE?! HELLOOOOOO! ARE YOU STILL LISTENING TO ME .. hum .. oh '/ignore hugi'? ..ok, then forget it." To quote Eggbird: "folks get weirder and weirder." Long live our pluralistic democratic system! Apart from that I've become addicted to yiddish music and Moorhuhnjagd. BTW, could anyone make a tracked version of the Israeli and the Persian national anthems for me??

Jay aka Planet-X, known for his commercial success with lame demoscene musicians rip-offs, is honoured by a long article on him, longer than this entire HugiNews issue. The article was written by Grendel/Byterapers, a professional journalist working for Finland's and Scandinavia's largest computer-related magazine, Mikrobitti. As a result of the article Jay took off his page from the net and replaced it with a note on "irresponsible internet journalism". haha. Posted by Adok.

Article .............................................................. : Witan paralyses the whole German economy! Our reporters have told us that all of Germany has been infected with a virus called "Moorhuhnjagd", written by a team called Witan Entertainment. Sounds familiar? Indeed, it's the same guys who coded the classic demo "Facts of Life" and still occasionally show up in the demoscene. Moorhuhnjagd is a simple promotion game for Johnnie Walker, a Scottish whiskey brand. The task Witan were assigned was to create a game that resembles the national identity of Johnny Walker. And what else, apart from kilt, bagpipes and Sean Connery, reminds you more of Scotland than the traditional hunt of lagopi lagopi scotici? Right, so they developed a simple shooter game in the style of Shooting Gallery or Virtua Cop. You have 90 seconds to shoot as many birds off the sky as possible. The score you get for a bird depends on its distance to you, so there's also a little strategical component in the game: You have to consider if it's better to shoot three closely flying birds or if you'd rather make the effort to aim at the small, fast-moving bunch of pixels symbolizing a bird flying far away from you. The game was first only played at pubs, accompanied by chicks who persuaded the drinkers to play and the gamers to drink. Johnnie Walker made a bit more profit, and that was it. Now that the campaign is long over, the game has all of a sudden appeared on the Internet and emerged to a real hit. According to German magazines, the Moorhuhn has infiltrated both their staff-rooms and large companies, such as DaimlerChrysler. Even the German Ministry of the Interior is reportedly addicted to the shooting game. The situation is escalating. Sysadmins monitor the networks to prevent that too many birds are killed. The WWF has asked the BPjS (a German government institution dealing with the protection of young people) to put it onto their index of harmful games. The political opposition plans to bring an urgent inquiry into the parliament whether the Moorhuhns are a serious threat to the security in the country. In the meantime, various teams are developing clones and sequels to Moorhuhnjagd, to get politicians, activists and businessmen into even greater despair.
