I don't think people just dipping their toes into the demoscene will fully appretiate the awesomeness of this production. the sheer sense of magnitude, energy and power that this demo creates through its superb direction is spine-chilling. honestly, this demo is a true milestone. you cannot compare Debris to The Popular Demo by Farb either, they are in a totally different category. Debris is Ghost in the Shell dark-anime, The Popular Demo (which I found totally boring) is Walt Disney. Quality of themes and direction is _all_ in PC demos, nobody cares about technical details (except maybe in 4/64k intros).

also "Amiga scene is better than PC scene" blady blah blah! So boring. They are worlds apart. I love the Amiga scene because it requires that coders MUST understand their system and routines at a low level...which I think is a great virtue. But with abstracted h/w APIs and awesome CPU/GPU power these days, that is not important on the PC scene. Different scenes with different ideals. one is not better than the other but until very recent demos like Debris, the PC has never used its true potential i dont think.

:-D definitely no need for appologies! i think most "coders" will know where you are coming from and it's taken me _ages_ to appretiate that the PC scene could maybe have something to offer the scene, just something different to what we're used to. they seem to be getting their act together (about time!) but the quality PC prods are still VERY thin on the ground that's for sure.
