How often do you have a look at some new demos?

At least once a week I like to drop into Poeut and have a click around the content, not starting anywhere specific, but instead looking for a demo I either know or haven't seen before, and then seeing where links from that take me. I've managed to find some great productions I'd not seen before using this method. The number of releases is just too great to use any sort of logical order to look through them all. I mostly pick a production I find interesting and then see what else that group has released, and then the parties they were released at and so on.

Although I do like to pick the latest big release parties and look through some of the best from them. The one I most recently decided to explore was this year's Breakpoint releases, and there were some great and very interesting ones this year, especially some of the 4K and 16K PC releases.

Anyway, the question I was wondering. How often to you look at some new demos? The demos could actually be old but new to you personally.

I've never bothered with Demo's. They just don't interest me.

The thing is. How do you know until you watch a few? There are some amazing productions out there that are very creative and thought provoking. And equally show off the technical abilities of the coders, artists and musicians involved, whilst the best productions are also great showcases for the hardware.

The only thing I can't access is Amiga PPC based productions. These really show the top end power that can be squeezed out of the classic Amiga.

I've seen a few and yes they are usually technically brilliant and they show what you can actually do with the hardware but they just don't interest me.

Interesting, thats the only thing that holds me on the amiga at all, demos watching and making. This interests started back in the late 80´s with the first cracktros, after that the only target for me was making such stuff myself.

I said a couple of times each month. I have a huge backlog of demos I have downloaded and want to watch, and same as the games backlog, movies backlog and reading backlog it just gets bigger and bigger.

Someone think of a way to slow the Earth's rotation down, we need longer days!
