DEMO REVIEWS

[/b]\\r\\n\\r\\nWelcome to the demo review section. \\r\\nFrank talks, clear opinions.\\r\\n\\r\\nI would talk on 6 demos this week, I felt they were special. \\r\\nAs like previous week, I tried grabbing the jumpers if they were available to me, some of them I couldnâ€™t have a chat with them, I apologize for that.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]1. drewbie_longjumps_DeathClaw_0022.81[/b]\\r\\n\\r\\nAfter [flag]fi[/flag] KeltA did break this record last time, how many of you felt, there was someone that could even improve this map?\\r\\nI didnâ€™t. \\r\\n\\r\\nThere is something about this map, when timings doesnâ€™t really matter. You beat it by even a millisecond, you are someone special. You need consistent lj skills, precision and a perfectly executable style to bring everything to absolute perfection. That was what I thought when I watched the demo. That was absolutely when as well when I made up my mind to have a talk with DeathClaw in the weeklyâ€™s what was going on his mind when he made a run on it. Luckily, I got this guy, and letâ€™s hear it from his mouth. \\r\\n\\r\\n[i][flag]in[/flag] Prad : Hi DeathClaw, last week you have presented us with a few impressive demos. \\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]ru[/flag] DeathClaw : I think drewbie longjumps had been my best run after downfall[race]. After timer stopped I was really excited by my longjumps Ii never had so many nice jumps in a row!) and it was really great to find out that it was really close to current WR.\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]in[/flag] Prad : You came up with one more very impressive demo, the prochallenge speed one.\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]ru[/flag] DeathClaw : prochallenge_longjump needs to be improved too, since I've broken my mouse it seems impossible to me, so any good longjumper can easily take this map. Good luck!\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]in[/flag] Prad: You had been very consistent with your ljâ€™s. Any new news coming up?\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]ru[/flag] DeathClaw: Well after hard geekeng drewbie and prochallenge longjump I just stopped longjumping, so noone will see 258 lj and 245 hj by me, haha :) Also, I'll buy g400 in 1-3 weeks and try to get back and improve all my runs, stay tuned![/i]\\r\\n\\r\\nSo there goes your longjump hero, I honestly feel something is cooking underneath but we all have to wait for it. Lets see what comes up in the future.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]2. imao_darkcavern_w1zz_0219.99[/b]\\r\\n\\r\\nI remember w1zz couple of years before when the prochallenge tournament came in, and if you might remember he was the first one to take prospeed. I still call him the prospeed guy, every time a new demo of his comes up, I open it up with the same enthusiasm, as I did years ago, and I must tell you, I am never disappointed.\\r\\n\\r\\nSo this time when his darkcavern came, I was again like [i]â€œw1zz, again? :Oâ€[/i] And tell you what, he got skills. He has what it takes to mark his territory, and he wouldnâ€™t let you in without a fight. So when someone takes something from Toffifee, itâ€™s a sure watch. A hard map, an irritating one to record, you must understand the pain to record darkcavern if y ou are a regular jumper. W1zz does everything with dexterity, and shows how to retake it all. I got this Romanian star and had some nice chats with him.\\r\\n\\r\\n[i][flag]in[/flag] Prad : hello w1zz, care to share something from your darkcavern demo?\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]ro[/flag] w1zz : Hello Prad, well, there's not much to say. The map is entertaining; it has exquisite jumps, many bhop combos and also two bhop shortcuts that literally give you headaches during wr attempts. I have to say I'm not pleased at all with the run I have, maybe just with the fact that I managed to do both shortcuts.\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]in[/flag] Prad: so is it the return of w1zz or there is something about this map that keeps you hooked?\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]ro[/flag] w1zz : : It's just something about getting a wr back when it gets beaten. So you'll probably see a new demo from me after one of my existing wrs gets beaten again.\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]in[/flag] Prad : We all, atleast me, still remember w1zz as the guy who took prochallenge_speed many years ago, how much is this w1zz different from the earlier one?\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]ro[/flag] w1zz: I consider myself better than the w1zz that took prochallenge_speed, it's just the level that kreedz has reached. Nowadays, the time that I had on prochallenge_speed back then is probably the time people do with random runs in pubs.\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]in[/flag] Prad : I feel you, people are like robots now. Anyway thank you, w1zz, good luck ahead\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]ro[/flag] w1zz : Great to see you again, Prad[/i]\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]3. kz_j2s_cupblock_Toffifee_0223.12[/b]\\r\\n\\r\\nThe talk of the town is Toffifee now.\\r\\nAnd you have to accept that.\\r\\n\\r\\nCupblock 3 secs, Halloween 7 secs, complex 4 secs, sandland 3 secs, icemountain 15 secs, waterplant 5 secs.\\r\\n(phew!)\\r\\n\\r\\nThe more I talk about this guy, itâ€™ll be less anyway, cause I donâ€™t have enough definitions to sum him up. He had all power demos snatched from strong kreedzers in a raw display of speed, and how! He is vibrant, agile and possesses a smooth maneuverability, the cupblock is the recent proof of his ascension to stardom, where he beats down [flag]bg[/flag] mgD and probably ends an era. \\r\\n\\r\\nDonâ€™t act surprised if this guy takes down every other climber, cause that is gonna happen if he decides to continue playing. \\r\\n\\r\\n[i][flag]in[/flag] Prad : Hello Toffiffee, your last demo on cupblock was pretty impressive. Mind sharing with our readers a few words on that one?\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]ru[/flag] Toffifee : Hi Prad. Thanx for the words. Well, From time immemorial [flag]fr[/flag] heL^_x was my favorite jumper. He made me fall in love with him even more after combining his awesome style with that map so that I loved the map as well. I couldnâ€™t ever imagine Iâ€™ll be able to beat his wr. Here I am 2 years later, getting closer and closer to the roof. I focused on this wr after [flag]be[/flag] koukouz improved it by 3 seconds. It seemed impossible but I had faith in myself. After some unsuccessfully geeking the map was beaten once again by [flag]bg[/flag] mgD and that was it, all my faith has collapsed into the deep. 2012 came on and Iâ€™ve ran onto the battle movie â€œ[flag]be[/flag] koukouz vs [flag]bg[/flag] mgDâ€. I saw [flag]be[/flag] koukouzâ€™s 2-3 fail and told myself â€œlol wtf 3 seconds fail?â€ so that the faith came back. I did this wr in 20 minutes.\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]in[/flag] Prad : Great words! Your last demo on tri complex was also special, we absolutely loved it. What was the story behind it?\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]ru[/flag] Toffifee : A pretty trite story but here we go. I once randomly beat kzru record on some public server and it seemed pretty easy to me, I just went to my lan and beat it pretty shortly ;)[/i]\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]4. mto_greencave_ShoCk_0239.52[/b]\\r\\n\\r\\nYou know, they say I am not the one to judge. \\r\\nBut deep down inside, I feel I do.\\r\\n\\r\\nSo many players do you come up with these days who take out their time to improve their own demos by like 3 seconds? Not too many, I guess. Thatâ€™s ShoCk for you, always aiming for the perfection. His style has been pretty infectious, and is always creating a roar in the community, we cant get enough of it, and we want more. Neat bhops, and a clean climb style. Kz in a nutshell. \\r\\n\\r\\n[i][flag]in[/flag] Prad : I donâ€™t know whats working for you â€“ steroids or practice, but you look pretty impeccable to me now.\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]ru[/flag] ShoCk : haha, thanx man :) \\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]in[/flag] Prad : I saw your greencave and I was like â€œdamn this is specialâ€.\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]ru[/flag] ShoCk : Definitely one of my best demos. Well actually I must thank [flag]rs[/flag] [b]Evil[/b] who agitated and inspired me to beat this map when I thought I wasn't able to. It's a really nice pleasure to be a wr holder on such a nice map.\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]in[/flag] Prad : Didnâ€™t you feel you kinda deserved a rotw on that map?\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]ru[/flag] ShoCk : Yes, I did. Maybe it will sound arrogant of me, but I honestly think this demo deserved a rotw title probably the most. :)\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]in[/flag] Prad : I liked your covebhop demo too. I still remember it from stormzz styles, you have anything to say on it?\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]ru[/flag] ShoCk : It's a wr I beat in a rather short period of time. I remember how satisfied I was back in the days beating it for kzru and I couldn't ever imagine I'll be able to wr it. Time changes and I wouldn't really say I'm proud of this one now, as a few mistakes crept in in such a small map. But I know I love this map.[/i]\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]5. kz_kzse_rockvalley_Nukk_0339.78[/b]\\r\\n\\r\\nNukk is back again with his usual style and prowess and beats up another map by Omilo, the one I thought wouldnâ€™t be tried. \\r\\n\\r\\nI am used to seeing Nukkâ€™s bhopping style, so this one was nice to watch. Heâ€™s neat, fast and precise and all that makes the demo another treat to the eye. Its improvable though, so I have a feeling heâ€™s going to improve it soon. \\r\\n\\r\\nIt is racy and energetic- attributes which were not readily associated with an omilo demo. Yet, to many, it looks refreshingly different and eminently acceptable in an era in which all run styles are free to be experimented with. In the tussle, rockvalley will only emerge stronger, we all have to agree. \\r\\n\\r\\n[i]"Some changes might stick, others will not. But this great map will be continued to be played and geeked just as it has been for the last 4 years, The younger generation gets drawn to slightly fast-paced crazyness and none should object if skill is mixed with that rage to make it acceptable for the newage kredzers. But it has to be aesthetic,"[/i] thatâ€™s what [b]I feel[/b]. \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]6. kznl_factory_Bibika_0328.29[/b]\\r\\n\\r\\nRemember arabhop and the tussle with [flag]lv[/flag] akkord?\\r\\nYou might do, cause it was unforgettable.\\r\\n\\r\\nWell thatâ€™s what I came up with when I saw the release and saw Bibikaâ€™s recent one, and the take over [flag]fi[/flag] gizpo_O. Bibikaâ€™s a recorder who sees a map and he probably wont just sit pretty and wait over, heâ€™ll rather fight his best and emerge as the final winner, at least thatâ€™s what history tells us. The bunnyhops are precise and fast, the cimb style is immaculate, in short if you havenâ€™t yet seen this yet, take your time out and download this â€“ you wont repent it.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]

Movie reviews

[/b]\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]Aspire[/b] starring [flag]pl[/flag] [b]madekb[/b] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKZzY0c9gk\\r\\n\\r\\nThis week we are about to start with a rather short clip created by [flag]pl[/flag] [b]fsrx[/b]. If you already know something about madekb that is probably his capability in distance jumps. Real hard jumps performed with dcjs, weirdjumps and drop cjs. In other words, jumps that are worth watching.\\r\\nThe polish editor made a really clean, atmospheric clip that could give you goosebumps.\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]k3g - where's edge[/b] by [flag]fr[/flag] [b]HDS[/b] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk7IEZWPe6w\\r\\n\\r\\nSpeaking of goosebumps, there is no way for me to miss this one! To be honest, really one of my favourite chill movies of all times, pure smoothness. A video on which you can just kick back and enjoy [flag]cn[/flag] [b]k3g[/b]'s breathetaking edgebugs. The oldschool legendary jumper didn't disappoint, as always! Absolutely nothing more to add than: enjoy!\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]Self Control[/b] featuring [flag]se[/flag] [b]Eclipzh[/b] by [flag]pl[/flag] [b]polsik[/b]\\r\\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj5-RS2FfGE\\r\\n\\r\\nSeems like we are having a chill week this time, huh? Yes, another chill movie is out but as the ones above, this one has something special about it, too. Definitely a vid for the bunnyhop lovers in the house. The swedish bunnyrabbit [b]eclipzh[/b] sure has something to show you, dear audience. The beautiful edit was made by [flag]pl[/flag] [b]polsik[/b]. Only cool features in this one. \\r\\nTrust me, it's a must-watch vid! :)\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]sv_toti 10[/b] by [flag]se[/flag] [b]APE_O[/b] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rsp_GgP-0nQ&feature=g-all-u\\r\\n\\r\\nYou think you can't get surprised with this one? WRONG! The fastly improving moviemaker from Sweden is back to present us once again his unique and inimitable style. Being unusual is usual for [b]APE[/b]. Don't worry of the fact that you are being transferred in a brand new world because of his artistic eye, it's all good! I won't tell you more about the edit, just make sure not to miss it. The jumps? Well... the jumps are worthy, too, especially if you are an 'oldsql' fan, like me. The swedish jumper, as well as progressive moviemaker, has some simple, yet entertaining stuff! It's about time stop wasting your time on my reads, enjoy the outcome! \\r\\n\\r\\n[b]85'[/b] featuring [flag]fr[/flag] [b]toytoy[/b] by [flag]fr[/flag] [b]HDS[/b] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_3X0VtOGIs\\r\\n\\r\\nLets kick the tempo up a little! The french editor [b]HDS[/b] has cooperated with his french collegue [b]toytoy[/b]. As in eclipzh's clip, the bunnylovers would find really interesting combos in this one, too. A lot of dynamism shown by the jumper, also a decent amount of creatvity. The demos are sure to be quite challenging and entertaining. We should definitely appreciate [b]HDS'[/b] hard work on this one. Luckily he will get accepted in Chrome Media as this is his application. Lets all wish him luck and enjoy the show.\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]STEREO 99[/b] - Starring [b]FLP[/b] by [flag]se[/flag] [b]APE_O[/b] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV02P9MhOWM&lc=2VXHceLms6EavmbSExqYMupDeRjZ4-LBkwowmX5tnec&feature=inbox\\r\\n\\r\\nUnusual, unique, different! That's what best describes [b]APE's[/b] newest work . With a second movie in the movie reviews, he never cease to amaze us. What's more, [b]FLP[/b] did his part great, too. He recorded some cool trickjumps, starring from bunnyhop combos to high speed edgebugs. Honestly, nothing more to say here, just don't miss it. :-)\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n

[b]Interview[/b]\\r\\n

\\r\\nThis weeks' victim is the well known Xtreme-Jumps admin [flag]ro[/flag] [b]CyclopP[/b]\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]bg[/flag] NobodY:[/b] Hello [b]CyclopP[/b], thank you for assisting me for this interview. As a beginning, could you introduce the guy behind the screen?\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]ro[/flag] CyclopP:[/b] The one eyed guy is here. Yeah. Thank you [b]nobody[/b] for the invitation. It gives me great pleasure to be on the other side, the answering side.\\r\\nSo, CyclopP, or Ovidiu, how they call him in real life, is a great person, most probably too great for the world we live in today. 22 years of mistakes and he is currently trying to make up for everything bad he did until now.\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]bg[/flag] NobodY:[/b] Great answer! Most of the people consider you as a really oldschool guy. How did you get related with the kreedz scene? And what kept your interest through all these years of hard work?\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]ro[/flag] CyclopP[/b]: Oldschool....that word.... that word it's the thing that keeps me engaged in everything I do. You see, probably you think it makes no sense, but I grew up in a time when responsibility was the only thing I was being thought. It wasn't like people were staying around me, bugging me with this and that. It was a simple idea implemented in my beliefs, like an inception of something that made me believe it was my own thought. The perfect way to shape a man.\\r\\nAnd on top of that, I'm not as oldschool as you can get. I was lucky, I think, to land in KZ in a time when it was the real deal, out of a desire to escape the other side of CS, where it got boring and frustrating, since being pretty good at what you do, make the other people think there's something fishy about you. I wanted to escape that and I did. I'm just honored that I can identify myself with the other kz guys that helped at shaping this mode.\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]bg[/flag] NobodY:[/b] Before I shoot a couple of questions about your admin 'career', could you tell us, how did you find out about xtreme-jumps.eu?\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]ro[/flag] CyclopP:[/b] I stumbled across a demo of FikoN on kz_deanhawkins_b01 and I needed the map in order to play the demo. I googled the map and it got me to XJ.\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]bg[/flag] NobodY:[/b] Being around for so long, did u managed to break any records? Were there any maps that you wanted to conquer?\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]ro[/flag] CyclopP:[/b] kz_deanhawkins_b01, of course. I wanted that map badly. It was the one that left me speachless when seeing Fikon on it. I never even thought moving like that in CS was possible. Actually my discovering of KZ and XJ goes deeper than I said. It's the movement of the game that got me interested in discovering what makes it tick. I was playing a pcw and someone had this bhop script, the legendary jump+wait and he was bhoping as hell. I searched about that and find out the real deal in esilo's videos where the main protagonist was FikoN, who was teaching you how to strafe and how to jump and bhop. And from there I stumbled across the demo I was talking about.\\r\\nSo anyway, coming from the CS classics, it left a mark on me. I didn't want anymore to be good at something out of the fear of not being accused again of the fishy things. So I just played KZ, strictly to enjoy its beauty and not to beat records and go pro.\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]bg[/flag] NobodY:[/b] I understand. Oh yes, how did you become an admin? And later on a COO?\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]ro[/flag] CyclopP:[/b] I applied. I applied for two jobs: cup admin and map admin. I was chosen for both of the jobs. I got in the trial probation and I made it out of it. It was a great time, since I was the only one to ever apply and later stay for two jobs in the same time. I did them as best as I could and since the natural course of things is always unknown, I got myself involved in other things as well, like weekly. Actually weekly was the first thing I was doing in XJ, before becoming an actual admin. Thank you Moxx for chosing me! And then, I started to "annoy" faker with small management things. He saw the potential, got promoted to leader of mapcheck team and later to Chief Operating Officer. Others like to refer to this as a Manager. So I did my job and unfortunately some day suddenly ended. But that's just water under the bridge now.\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]bg[/flag] NobodY:[/b] Before I continue, I personally want to thank you for contributing with that much for the site, I am just amazed of your dedication. What about Ovidiu's interesets in real life? Any sports, hobbies and stuff like that?\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]ro[/flag] CyclopP:[/b] You're welcome. It was a pleasure.\\r\\nOvidiu's real life... I actually don't like how that sounds. This right here, what we do now, it's not a fake life. You are right, we do it virtually, but it's still a big part of us, wheather you like it or not. It's just another way to express ourselves. Nothing wrong with it, as long as you don't lose the track of it. So, my life outside of this, at the moment, is pretty dull. However, I live it to the fullest, but still dull. I work as a manager at a coffee house, I'm trying to finish a university and also trying, and God help me, to "conquer" a girl. My kitty :D So I'm at home only at night, when I sleep, and even then I work for XJ and others. Of course, I'd like to do many things, but I just don't have the time.\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]bg[/flag] NobodY:[/b] I wish you all the best with all your ventures, especially with your kitty. :D\\r\\nHow about a few shorties, just to end it up?\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]ro[/flag][b] CyclopP:[/b] Thank you. Be my guest.\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]bg[/flag] NobodY:[/b]\\r\\nBeing alone with your thoughts or partying with friends? \\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]ro[/flag][b] CyclopP:[/b] Being alone with my kitty, partying.\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]bg[/flag] NobodY:[/b] Huge climbing map or a short speed map?\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]ro[/flag] CyclopP:[/b] huge climbing map\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]bg[/flag] NobodY:[/b] [flag]fi[/flag] [b]novice[/b] or [flag]us[/flag] [b]pizza^[/b]?\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]ro[/flag][b] CyclopP:[/b] novice\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]bg[/flag] NobodY:[/b] Yummy but unhealthy or healthy but not that tasty?\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]ro[/flag] CyclopP:[/b] Yummy but unhealthy\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]bg[/flag] NobodY:[/b] Okay, seems like the end came. Hope I didn't spoil it too much. Anything else you would like to add?\\r\\n\\r\\n[b][flag]ro[/flag] CyclopP:[/b] Well thank you for having me today. Like i said in the beginning, it was a great pleasure.\\r\\nI hope that I can still be a part of all this and unconditionally, I'll do what I can to help and enjoy Kreedz.\\r\\nThanks to the guys from my national community, the ones who brought me in, [flag]ro[/flag] [b]boom.dll[/b], [b]Naiba[/b] and [b]In[10]sE[/b]. And later to [b]sn00p[/b], for having the pleasure to meet and work with him.\\r\\nAnd thanks to the guys from the international area, who also brought me in, [flag]de[/flag] [b]faker[/b] and [flag]se[/flag] [b]Moxx[/b].\\r\\nSee ya around!\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n

[b]RUMOURS[/b]

\\r\\n\\r\\nI guess you won't mind some good news, huh? Sure you won't!\\r\\nI've heard that XJ is planning another release, a really promising one. Lets see what [flag]bg[/flag] [b]PsYxOpAt[/b] has to say about that:\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]bg[/flag] [b]NobodY:[/b] Hey PsYxOpAt, I've heard here and there that you are planning some map releases for the hungry members, is that true? And if so, could you give us some more information?\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]bg[/flag] [b]PsYxOpAt:[/b] Hi. Well, yes. I'm planning another map release very soon. So far we have 5 maps waiting for release and few more which are almost checked. Just some minor bugs that need to be fixed. \\r\\n\\r\\nAlso there are rumors that kzmod v1.0 is coming, so I would encourage people to move on and try it!\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n-----\\r\\n\\r\\n[i]Demo reviews by [flag]in[/flag] [b]Prad[/b], Movie Reviews, Rumor and Interview by [flag]bg[/flag] [b]Nobody^[/b][/i]","isOldNews","authorCountry","authorPicture",{"_51":52,"_53":52,"_54":52,"_55":52,"_56":52,"_57":52,"_58":52,"_59":52,"_60":52,"_61":52,"_62":52,"_63":52,"_64":52,"_65":52,"_66":52,"_67":52,"_68":52,"_69":52,"_70":52},"newsDate","07/10/2012 17:56","isNew","commentsNumber",16,"hasExtendedContent","category",{"_29":190,"_191":192,"_193":194},13,"name","Premiere","slug","premiere","user","colorTheme","chatDock",{"_199":-5,"_200":-5},"openOnArrival","size"]
