What the fuck? I didn't even know Diamond went away. They made my current videocard (4870x2 OC), and BFG made my previous (7800GSOC). Why do all the brands I buy disappear? They were arguably two of the best in the business. edit - also, that 8088 thing is not a video. I mean the video is a video, but it's not a video of a video. I knew straight away that it was a demo ("Demo" in the Demoscene sense of the word). The name Trixter of Hornet is further proof. Hornet is an oldschool demo group, and the "video" is textmode ascii/ansi art. The music is probably a pc speaker noise generation routine produced by them to create the music. It's really not all that demanding for the processor, but it is pretty impressive nonetheless. This comment was edited on Sep 4, 2010, 05:06.
