|   |  Pack: RMRS-55.ZIP    Size: 1,023 KB    Released: September 24th, 2004

|   |   Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the fifty-fifth release of ACiD's
|   |   ascii division, Remorse!

|   |   This pack sees the members of the Almighty Remorse Crew in high
|   |   spirits.  The price of gas is rising.  Old Uncle Moneybags (aka
|   |   Radman) has seen his futures investments skyrocket!  The domesti-
|   |   cation of the dog continues unabated.

|   |   I, Spinsane (not to be confused with I, Robot) would really
|   |   like to heartily welcome our viewing audience to the newest Remorse
|   |   senior staffer: The Illustrious and Elegant Scour also known as S!
|   |   On another note, longtime Remorse senior Nightrain also returns from
|   |   a stint in the local jail for being a wifebeater!  Welcome back NT!
|   |   Your prison tattoo was very well done.

|   |   <I stop for a moment.  I focus my telepathic abilities on Scour.
|   |    A 1 GB mental connection is established.  We lack ratios. >

|   |   *Tap Tap Tap* ..*clears throat*

|   |   JOLTIN_JOE_NORATIO: Scour! We need information to entertain and
|   |   enlighten the masses!  Who are you?  What is your purpose here?
|   |   Are you made of carbon, or plastic?

|   |   ELITE_TO_THE_NTH_SCOUR: Am I made of carbon or plastic? Who the fuck
|   |   seriously is asking that question. No one but Joltin' Joe thats for
|   |   sure.  Anyway, I'm taking over the artscene one group at a time, so
|   |   watch the fuck out Mimic, you're next.

|   |   JOLTIN_JOE_NORATIO: That's for Sure?  Incidentally, that's my
|   |   prefered brand on deoderant.  I'm sure.  Others are un-sure.  Get
|   |   what I'm talking about?  If not, feel free to discuss how a simple
|   |   Pablodraw NFO file writing session has gone so horribly, horribly
|   |   wrong.

|   |   ELITE_TO_THE_NTH_SCOUR: For sure, my friend, for sure. This is a new
|   |   generation of ascii group nfo files, which I'm not sure is a good
|   |   thing or not.  What the fuck are we babbling about?  Let's get to
|   |   business.  Remorse is undergoing a complete turnaround, from being the
|   |   biggest art-scene group to becoming the top piracy go-to group for
|   |   all the elite CD Cover Group nfos and Recipe eBooks. Chocolate_Chip
|   |   Cookies-GRANDMASkITChEN is certainly one to look out for soon.  May
|   |   even find it in this pack, hell if I know.  Spinsane probably drew for
|   |   it.

|   |   JOLTIN_JOE_NORATIO: Excellent. (Pause while I drum my fingers
|   |   together and dream greedily about what the future may bring).  From
|   |   a simple group of artists drawing semi-useless BBS intro screens...
|   |   to the kings of the Recipe eBooks NFO files and CD Covers.  Scour,
|   |   I would think under your added leadership these things and more are
|   |   definately possible.  Do you have any other plans for the Almighty
|   |   Remorse?  Such as domination of the Kiddie ISO scene?  Perhaps we
|   |   will one day be the giants of the MUD login screen world?

|   |   Evidentally, the world is our oyster.

|   |   ELITE_TO_THE_NTH_SCOUR: The Kiddie ISO scene is on lock.  Not exactly
|   |   sure what a MUD login is.  Anyway, as our readers may or may not know,
|   |   I, Scour (not to be confused with I, Spinsane nor I, Robot) also run
|   |   the powerful scene art group, Superior Art Creations (SAC), which has
|   |   interestingly enough made an odd comeback recently.  Together, SAC and
|   |   Remorse should easily dominate the scene -- both of these legendary
|   |   groups have been around since 1994.  What other art groups can claim
|   |   to that?  The strongest always survive.  You feelin' me?

|   |   JOLTIN_JOE_NORATIO: I'm feeling you like a goat at a petting zoo. I
|   |   don't wanna talk too much about SAC though... since... well, that
|   |   should be obvious :).  Luckily though Skizzour, you have maintained
|   |   a level of bi-partisonship that would astonish a compassionate
|   |   conservative.  Whats the dealio then, about what is going on with
|   |   you, and Remorse's current state of affairs... <cough/garble/buzz>

|   |   <Telepathic link between Scour and Spinsane ended.  Spinsane's
|   |   blood level alcohol makes him start telepathically contacting a
|   |   myriad of random strippers.  Scour resorts to actually doing an NFO
|   |   file.  The domestication of the dog continues unabated. >

|   |   Scour goes solo:

|   |   Remorse has acquired two new talented artists since we last saw you
|   |   in pack #54.  Joining among the ranks of the scene's top block
|   |   artists (read: Scour) is Creature of Hell (cH!).  Also joining since
|   |   the last pack is Cru, a talented oldschool and block artist. (Editor's
|   |   Note: KICK-ASS!).  We're trying the best we can to be modest here, but
|   |   really, there's no comparison anymore.  Remorse has grabbed the latest
|   |   and greatest artists, and more are sure to come.  Warm welcome to cRu
|   |   and cH.

|   |   Spinsane wakes up, wipes the vomit from his chin:

|   |   Indeed.  Remorse has come a long way, baby.  There is nothing Scour
|   |   and I are more proud of then the recent undertakings of the group.
|   |   First of all, besides all the general badassedness of (check Webster's
|   |   for the definition of this word) the Remorse legion, our crew rep-
|   |   restented solidly at the North American demo party Pilgrimage.
|   |   Besides the fact that our illustrious leader Rad Man was instrumental
|   |   in the organization of party, two of our members Polygon Breasts and
|   |   Haliphax dominated the Textmode ascii compo.  While the competition
|   |   stocked up on Depends (c) undergarments, Polygon Breasts wound up in
|   |   first place with his masterful block picture, here after refered to
|   |   as pb-chlaz.asc.  Coming in a close second, Haliphax offered up his
|   |   block submission, a mighty big rendering of our sacred name in block.
|   |   Check it as hx-compo.asc in the pack.  Congratulations to both of
|   |   you.  Undoubtably, if 3 or more of our artists had been there, we'd
|   |   have run the table. :)

|   |   Be sure to check http://www.acid.org/radio for the ARTS #8, which
|   |   I'm sure will include a full report on the party.

|   |   Secondly, as we said before in this NFO, I can't be happier then
|   |   to welcome back Nightrain to the fold.  Perhaps he will pop up here
|   |   to share his story with you, the loyal viewer.  If not, his art will
|   |   once again speak for itself.  But that is not all!  Oh no!  It is not!
|   |   "What more is there you ask us?"

|   |   NighTrain rejoins the freeworld:

|   |   Nightrain here, I just stepped out of the cell block, while i was
|   |   down I had to represent 2 sets, my prison gang, and my Remorse
|   |   homies. I decided I could go down all nerdy like Kevin Mitnick
|   |   and have you guys putting up free nightrain stickers everywhere,
|   |   or I could just slap around convicts like bitches and represent
|   |   1981 like a true ascii artist

|   |   I'm really glad to be back with Remorse, It seems that group interest
|   |   is at an all time high, and things are looking better than ever,
|   |   big ups to Spinsane and Scour, who have kept Remorse on top of the
|   |   ascii scene.
|   |                                      -nightrain/1891

|   |   Scour Speaks Again:

|   |   NEWSFLASH! NEWSFLASH! HIRO PROTAGONIST HAS RETURNED TO DOMINATE ONCE
|   |   AGAIN THE OLDSCHOOL SCENE! One of the greatest artists of all time is
|   |   BACK! That's right, that guy who inspired us all in the oldschool
|   |   medium has awakened and *GASP* is taking requests!  Who doesn't want
|   |   some (c)hP art?  BUT WAIT, just like a cheesy infomercial.. THERE'S
|   |   MORE!

|   |   Spinsane Just Returned From Driving Drunk:

|   |   There's more! Yes indeed!  So much more infact, that for a limited
|   |   time only, you can not ONLY access Hiro Protagonist's request list
|   |   but also speak with all of our new members on www.acid.org/forums !
|   |   That's right, for a limited time only (before we get www.remorse.org
|   |   up and operating - check next pack, trust us!), all of your favorite
|   |   old and returning ASCII SUPERSTARS (c) are available for chat on
|   |   these forums.  This isn't limited to the old stalwarts you know and
|   |   love, but also recently returned members like Pesho (check his colly
|   |   in this pack!), Zerohour, and Ricky Martin!  It's the hot place to
|   |   be!  In addition, if you login in the next 15 minutes, you could
|   |   hypothetically speak to the people who make Remorse even greater:
|   |   Our Guest Artists!

|   |   That's right, this pack features guests from our friends Aesthetic,
|   |   Fourth, and molo. As well it has extra-special "Bi-Yearly" appearances
|   |   from ok Remorse favorites: Whodini and Windrider.  Get your wallets
|   |   open and your credit cards ready and order now...

|   |   All your heros are there, waiting for your girlfriends to message us.

|   |   We hope you'll enjoy the fresh artowrk assembled into Remorse's latest
|   |   pack, we know we enjoyed putting it together.  Don't fret, for there
|   |   will be another incredible Remorse release soon (EDITOR'S NOTE: even
|   |   more incredible then this one!  You didn't think it possible?  Silly
|   |   mortal.)  Scour's upcoming 2-year-in-the-making oldschool collection
|   |   will prove to be one of the oldschool scene's most memorable with his
|   |   uncomparable design and backgrounding skills.  Also look forward to
|   |   Ansichrist's oldschool collection coming soon.  Hiro Protagonist plans
|   |   to knock everyone flat once again with a collection of his own.

|   |   The domestication of the dog continues unabated...

|   |   On a more serious note, we'd like to send shoutouts to all of those
|   |   who lost loved ones on the tragic events of 9/11.  This pack is
|   |   dedicated to them, their families, and everyone affected by the
|   |   tragedy that occured a little over 3 years ago to this date.  The
|   |   scene doesn't stop, and neither did they.  R.I.P. to everyone also
|   |   lost in the scene.  Our hearts go out to you.

|   |                                                   - Love,
|   |                                                     Everyone
