Hacked servers, violent computergames... report from evoke
Friday, about 16.00 we (StyX, TS and me, in the scene known as Ctulhu) arrived at the Evoke, after a railway trip with the deutsche bahn and a reservation in a waggon that didn't exist (but that wasn't a real problem, we found a nice place with an electricity plug in the train).
Well, usually gamers are not wanted on demoparties. But on evoke, you can see people playing all the time violent games. REALLY violent. The PainStation. It's basically an advanced Pong-game, but the special gimmick is, if you miss your ball, you'll be hurt by heat, electro shocks or hits. Really fun.Well, later the evening, it seems that some evil hackers took over the evoke-webserver (I surely have nothing to do with that ;-).
