Well, again I'm stuck with the blunt of this issue in my hands.
And I got only 1 artist and 1 possible webmaster applying to help.
Btw whatever your name was who asked to do some art. Msg me or
email me again because I forgot your nick. :) Anyways, since
ND is gone again I need a webmaster, please apply at lester@netmonkey.org.
We have Bud's report from last week included and my half ass attempt
at a utils report again for this week. I'd like to take a moment to
say that Ndetroit, Bud, Blitz, and Hando all suck donkey ass.
Ryche sucks too, but he has a valid excuse. Get well and come back
to me old buddy :)
Enjoy the mag kiddies

Sites are rated on a 3X and 2X scale.. if you want to know why we
do it that way, read an old issue. Couriers get 10 points per site they get
#1 on, 9 points for 2nd place, 8 points for 3rd, etc, etc.
Sites are rated by us. If you don't like the ratings, then....
heh... fuck off and die..

=--------------------------------=--------------------------------------=
-----------[ Lester's Biased Courier Section ]-----------
Ambition: AMB continues to get in on the pre'ing game but they
have yet to make themselves a contender for the top 5.
Overall: 2/10
Amnesia: AMN has a very strong week with 4 of the top 10 and an easy
2nd place on all sites, and #1 on any site that cedric didn't manage
to do 1.5 gigs :) They had a good # of pre's from darkfred and solid
meggage from nail/drunk/kruz to fill it out.
Overall: 8/10
AOD: AOD grabs 1-3 on the top 10. Cedric has over 1 gig on virtually ever site.
Pulling down #1 on every site but MG. Bohnz gets his first time on the list
in I don't even remember how long, with Faith picking up third. AOD has
a very very strong week and if Cedric can continue this pace, they can
afford to have darkwolf rest a week and not even notice it.
Overall: 9 1/2 / 10
Devotion: Dev has a veeeerrrryyy slow week, with just Prozax showing
up on the top 10. Godbless pops up on only 1 weektop, which is
very strange for him and Norseman quits. So devotion maybe have
some rocky troubles here.
Overall: 3/10
Risc: Psedo is the lone top 10'er for risc but they still do some
pretty steady trading with Borg/Brain/Avalanch grabbing some of the
lower 5's on sites. if Risc can get one more top notch trader they'll
be in a good place to make a run at 3rd or lock up 4th.
Overall: 6/10
Vice: Mrpumpkin pre's his little buttocks off and grabs a top 10 spot,
and djmp3 and a few other vicey's pop up around some sites. Vice can
make things happen when mrp is around, they dont do a whole lot if
he isn't though. :(
Overall: 5/10

THE NWR GAME REPORT ------------------------------ 12/01/99 - 12/07/99
--RIP SCENE
The rules for this report are simple. If it wasn't nuked on sites, and
was accepted by the scene, it makes it in the report. All groups that
released a couple times during the week will be reported.
The scores will be very easy to follow. There won't be a scale of 1-5
based on one person's opinion. Using the same formula that is less
controversial from the ISO charts, every game, no matter of the quality or
if an official addon pack, will be +5 points. If a game is truly undisputed
exceptional, it'll get an additional +1 bonus point. Patches will get +2
points, Trainers & Addons will get +1, and Cheat Codes will get +0.5 points. A
nuked or non working release will get -1. Raced Dupes will get +0 points.
If minor fixes are released, and are needed, the release group who originally
released the rip will be penalized.

COMMENTS:
Another week passes, another week of CLSs just keeping up the usual pace. While
the quality is usually not always the best, you have to admit this group
is relentless to hold the spot of #1 week in and week out. It should be mention
that people have complained about Championship Manager 2000 running at a
crawling pace during gameplay.

COMMENTS:
What has happened Paradigm? In the past, cracks were uncommon and now they're
coming with every release. PDM is even sneaking them in into addons so people
wouldn't notice a bad release as much. Just about every game released in the
last 2 weeks has needed a fix. Rushing, a deadly weapon that always blows up
in a groups face, and PDM is heading down that road. More quality testing is
needed in PDM instead of just putting it out. Don't make the scene be its
testing group, PDM. Also should be mention that PDM has struck an alliance with
Prestige this week, which will help put some foundation back into the group.

Well, OGN amazes the scene by winning on the rip race of Quake 3. While others
were jealous and nuked the release for not having the ability to play
on most servers (but still LAN & IP to IP), this was still a great release,
and should be well-commended. But lets hope OGN doesn't have the release get
to their head and just idle for a while and just boast of being #1.

COMMENTS:
This week Divine shows it does have a team that can supply its own titles by
putting out a great (but underappreciated) Sid Meier title, Antietam! Divine
continues to show the scene that they aren't a group that puts out the scraps.
DVN wants to be a respected group. They are slowly earning it back.

This week this group tries to prove its more than another ISO ripping group
by doing cheats & an update crack. While it isn't much to the scene, it
shows they aren't idling.. the #1 killer of group boredom and breakups.

Patch 1911 continues it again, even beating DVN on the Delta Force update. But
it would be better if we could report about a release put out under the Razor
name, but that doesn't look like it'll happen anytime soon.

--ISO GAME SCENE
This report will now also start reporting about the ISO Game Scene. We figured
it was time to give the ISO Game Scene an overview, and not let the rip scene
get all the attention. Same rules: +5 points for each release, +2 points for
patches, +1 point for trainers, 0.5 points for cheat codes, and a bonus point
for any exceptional releases. Any nukes will get -1 points.

This week FLT absolutely dominates the ISO scene, including putting out the
biggest game of the year, Quake 3. FLT crushed the competition, and put out
over 85% of the ISO games this week. FLT refused to be anything less than #1
after last weeks sputtering performance. It looks like there is a new king
in town, and it sure isn't Elvis.

COMMENTS:
In the Fritz 6 NFO, RZR complained about being called "dead". Any group
that doesn't attempt to put out a game in over 2 months like RZR did
(ISO or rip) deserves the label of "dead". A semi-attempt has to be made
to release on a regular basis to not be considered "dead". While RZR has
released 3 times in the last 3 weeks, they are still considered brain-"dead"
until then. This isn't like the old RZR, of domination. This is RZR, in the
retirement home.

hastily edited and full of pointless schlock, drivel, and all that other
great stuff you've come to expect from a high class publication such as
this one!
Well it was one year ago (last week) that I got bored, and for my own
reasons decided I wanted to do a utils report. NWR hadn't had one since
an anonymous one done in the very eary issues, and Lester gave me the
go ahead to do one report... and it caught on and stuck. Oh by the way
that anon report was done by... hmm... nah he'd kill me.
Basing (read: Ripping off) my report on the work of Jimmy Jamez from the
days of INQ I whipped something up... and I haven't improved since then!
So at least that proves something... only I'm not sure what... bah
oh well whatever :)
For this issue I thought of doing a few interviews, a special fun issue,
an indepth look at some important products or protection schemes... then
I remembered how lazy I am and did a normal issue... with a few quotes
thrown in for fun.
Disclaimer: It's BIASED moron. My opinion. So don't send me a bunch of mail
& messages bitching about this or that. If you don't like
it... SCREW YOU =]
Rankings: Groups get a score out of 10. Points are given for amount of
releases, but QUALITY titles will give a group a much higher score.
Nukes for duping, broken releases and just plain CRAP will lower
a groups score. However on the occasion that a title is nuked which
I don't feel should have been, MY OWN JUDGEMENT TAKES PRECEDENCE.
Cuz I'm writing this. Groups can also get points for any other
reason I see fit.
Week: Week is based from 11/23/99 to 11/29/99. I'm in the EST time zone so
dates/times run according to it.

PIRATES WITH ATTITUDE:
Releases:
Instance.Monitor.v1.2c.for.Oracle-PWA
PANTONE.HEXIMAGE.FOR.ADOBE.PHOTOSHOP-PWA
If I ran Oracle I'd care more about monitoring it in real-time...
but since I don't Instance Monitor doesn't help me. Oracle has
made some large steps forward in the market of late however.
I installed PS5.5 recently in the hopes of letting my artistic
expression flow free (I do this once every few months). As usual
though, it was more of a trickle than a flood, however at least
I can appreciate all these plugins a little more now.

Zip who did the work. Unfortunately poor ripping skills saw them get
nuked on most sites. 100mb of textures or whatever it is.. umm... think
guys. You even managed to do em as an addon in 8.0... since there was
a general concensus that it was a nuke i won't score it... but an
excellent crack.

Three decent releases from XF, who are still kicking but really
out of contention. A little over two years ago XF was among the top
3 groups in the scene, even ranked #1 in a certain utils report
(that was in a certain coded emag so I'm not sure we can really
count it but...;))

Visual.UML.v2.04.Plus.Edition.for.VB-SHOCK
Visio.2000.Professional.Edition.v6.0-SHOCK
IBM.Net.Data.v6.1-SHOCK
Shock seems to be slowing lately... could this be due to the increased
output of their ISO division? Well the ISO side did release in the past
month more than it did in the entire year up till then... but when you
only release an ISO every other month that's pretty easy.
They did snag two nice releases this week however, Visio 2000 Pro
(they released the Technical Edition earlier in the year) and IBM
Net.Data 6.1 from the DB2 suite. Taking 2 of the last 3 Visio titles
makes them strong contenders for the upcoming Enterprise release.

is a: a) great app if your a webmaster worried about security
and people passing off fake emails on your online store or
whatnot... or b) FUCKING ANNOYING IF YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE!
Need I say more? The app will also remember and block the usage
of any email address used in a fraudulent purchase... grr...
InaCardCheck, a sister app of InaEmailCheck, is decent but
not my first choice for an ecommerce site. We also see Installshield
2000 Pro v6.10... so umm someone send me a new icomp compatible
with it.

<_n> yesterday, i had to do this gay macbeth presentation, and there are 3 fine
chicks in my grp, and none of em wanted to play lady macbeth, so they
convinced me to do it and then i ended up having to wear a fuckin dress
yo#@! in front of my whole english class. and then the teacher was like
"you looked gorgeous" <-- that was when i ran for my life.
<_n> now that is a dope quote :<
<Bud-> Wanna take part in a lame little survey?
<Delphic> sure
<Delphic> wanna know my cup size?
<Delphic> turn ons
<Delphic> that kinda shit?
Woah... a lot of quotes there. Well both RiSE and Scum did some excellent
releases this week, in the CAD/CAM fields, and it looks to be these two
groups that are going to be the major contenders in that area, with
perhaps LND, RBS, and even SHK or CORP popping up now and then. If Corp
manages to stay alive anyways.
More interesting are rumors of internal grumblings in Scum, but for
now those remain unfounded. FCN did a few nice apps as always, as did
Shock and Rebels, but it was RiSE and Scum putting on the real show...
So now on to some last minute cheesy thing I did....
Pointless Stuff You Can Skip
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We at NWR (well me) asked a few scene people where they thought the utils
scene would be six months from now, and who they thought would be dominant
in the new millenium. Here's an assortment of answers:
<novo> given that the siege ppl dun die or leave scum :)
<novo> i thnk scum will be the bomb <G>
<novo> is this a sociology project? <G>
<S^J> well utils scene will remain where it is of course since all utils can
be ripped (with exceptions of course). Groups i see dominant are groups
who be able to keep quality over quantity and still be able to do 10-12
titles a week
<data_> some group fights will happen
<data_> a few die
<data_> a few pop up
<data_> blah blah
<data_> grin
<data_> i think scum will be at the top
<data_> and some others will prolly end up in a split
<_n> I think 6 months from now the utils scene will be slower due to HASP
CD8 coming out and more FlexLM bugs are being fixed now, so whoever has
the best CRACKING staff will be dominant i believe :)
<Jaydee-> no one will actually
<Jaydee-> and thats it
<Jaydee-> groups are dominating from times to times
<GzA-69> hum I see it taking on a bigger roll scene wise with all the game busts
<GzA-69> the groups I think in six months will be: RiSE/CNC/SHK/RBS and Scum
<GzA-69> as major force's
<GzA-69> in like big name app's
<_pain> I cannot tell :)
<_pain> Everybody who supports Y2K will survive ;)
<Kirk_Hamm> the utils scene sucks now...so it cant go anywere but up
<Kirk_Hamm> and you never know who can take over
<Delphic> I think the scene will stay as it is, unlike the game scene it isnt
fading away into iso's., It will eventually go that way, but for now
atleast and the next few years i think it will stay the same
<Delphic> as for groups? heh, FCN :).. nah i dunno, groups come up and down so
much these days. I would hope that some of the groups around dont die.
But, all things die
<Bud> What's a util? ;P
Well that's it for my rather pointless little survey... hey I had
a choice, hit a hockey game and do some drinking. or put an extra
hour or two into this... guess which I chose!
Well that's it for this week... and next week, since I won't be around...
so you'll either see someone filling in or umm... a big-ass blank space
where I usually am. But probably someone filling in :)
- Bud
------Lester's Utils BS ---------------=
Lester Fucking Hackjob Utils report #3
Ok well Bud flakes again, I am including his LAST week issue and I'm doing
another cover job for him.
Disclaimer: It's BIASED moron. My opinion. So don't send me a bunch of mail
& messages bitching about this or that. If you don't like
it... SCREW YOU =]
Rankings: Groups get a score out of 10. Points are given for amount of
releases, but QUALITY titles will give a group a much higher score.
Nukes for duping, broken releases and just plain CRAP will lower
a groups score. However on the occasion that a title is nuked which
I don't feel should have been, MY OWN JUDGEMENT TAKES PRECEDENCE.
Cuz I'm writing this. Groups can also get points for any other
reason I see fit.
Week: Week is based from 12/02/99 to 12/06/99. I'm in the EST time zone so
dates/times run according to it.
I used a euro site to do this..so like the dates may be fux0red

IBM.MQSERIES.V5.1-RiSE 76790KB
Rise slows down from last week, but they still manage to get
the newest version of Mqseries from IBM. Featurecam being their
only attempt in the cam field for this week. Featurecam is an
underappreciated overall solid modeling/maching package. 6.0
is a very nice updated package from previous versions and shows
some progress into the field. They also manage to snag a couple
Lotus updates out from under Scum's nose. Other than that it was
quiet.

SILK.TEST.V5.0.1-SCuM 38149KB
Scum also tones way down from last week. 20-Sim pro is a neat
little simulator that allows you to check different systems
like hydraulics and electrical shit. It's pretty cool, but
other simulators are better. For review is a little acad
viewer in case you dont have any other software capable of
converting/viewing acad crap. So they stick to the general
Cad stuff, and grab a minor update of Silk test. Medium week
for them in a quiet week for all the big ones.

the cad field this week. They got Vericut, which they didn't
even have to crack, so that's gotta be cool. :) And the new Femap
and Flovis are also really nice apps. the rest are run of the mill
cad/cam field apps. Good to see them doing well again

=---------[ Lester's Movie Reviews ]----------=
Sure he's a prominent scene member, leader of the #1 courier
group, and former "Miss Scene 1995".. But did you also know that
in real life, Lester's real name is "Roger", and he hosts a popular
syndicated television show, where he plays a big fatass who has
nothing better to do with his time than go to every single movie
ever released? Well.. now you know..
Toy Story 2
Starring: Tom Hanks & Tim Allen
Rating : 3 1/2 out of 4 stars
Well the Pixar boys are back in action with the sequel to their
hugely successful film Toy Story 1. This 2nd adventure is no drop
off from the first, in fact it almost surpasses it's predecessor.
The animation is as good as ever and the movie is downright hilarious.
I have to write like 80% of nwr in 2 hours or so tho so just go
fucking see it!@#

=---------[ VCD Group and Movie Reviews ]----------=
We would like to begin by explaining some of the common terms used in VCD
releasing. These formats are:
CAM - A cam is usually a handheld camera snuck into a full theatre. The base
is shaky, the audio is poor, you can hear people laughing and talking. A cam
is distinguishable by usually having a combination of all three or more of
these flaws. Most sites nuke cams for their general poor quality.
Workprint - An early release of a movie. These are usually stolen or leaked
copies of movies that have made their way onto VCD from VHS or a variety of
other sources. These will usually contain running time codes as well as other
identifying marks used in movie production. The quality on these can vary
from bad to very good depending on the quality of the source material used to
encode the VCD. Note: This category is also used for very bad screeners or
copies of movies that just didn't fit into any of the other categories due to
defects or problems with the quality of the VCD's audio/video image.
Telesync - Basically a very good Cam. A steady base such as a tripod is used,
the theatre is empty or very close to empty, and the audio and video are up
to par. Although, you can usually detect some flaw with a TS. You may see a
random head pop up, the screen edges are noticable, or the audio isn't always
crystal clear. While not perfect, the quality in general of a telesync ranges
from good to very good and is usually the first type of VCD made of a new
movie.
Screeners - These are the top quality VCDs. They can be in either widescreen
(letterbox) or in full-screen (pan and scan) with excellent audio and video.
These are made from video distributors demo tapes, reviewers copies, insider
copies of the film or from any number of sources. Most screeners will contain
"1-800-NO-COPIES" or "Property of.." messages somewhere in the film, but it's
not a requirement to fit into the screener category. These most closely
resemble a VHS or LaserDisc copy of the movie. They're easily identifiable by
their top quality.

Ahh yes, rumors. We all love them, even though we love to say how much we
hate them when they are about us- and these are some of the better ones
circulating around this week. Email us or find us on irc if you have a
good rumor you'd like entered, (your name will not be included), and we
do not add rumors like "Tdpriest is having anal sex with Fusion" because
we know that Fusion is only having sex with Xtremist and therefore there
is no hard evidence of that rumor. So, if you have real rumors, let us
know. Let's begin!

Well friends.. Thats about it. If you've read this far, we sincerly thank you.
We like to know this thing gets read, so if you get the time, drop one of us
a quick msg, and tell us what you think, give us suggestions, tell us it sucks,
or just say "hi" to us!....
