Hallowe'en is here again and we are dressed up as … ourselves, 20 years ago. (Are any costumes possibly scarier than our own adolescences?) I know that trends and fashions are supposed to go in 20-year cycles – is 2015 the new 1995? (Microsoft probably hopes so.)
But I digress. You can find our new, 21st anniversary artpack MIST1015.ZIP at our new website at mistigris.org, or download it wholesale at bit.ly/mist1015, or view and hear (much of) it through your web browser at pc.textmod.es/pack/mist1015.
It’s a massive undertaking, containing over 100 files submitted by over 50 artists (including over an hour and a half of music!), representing works created from the late ‘80s to … late last night.
There’s no official theme (if “computer art” is a theme in 2015, it’s one so broad as to be unuseful), but due to the timing of our release, it naturally happened that a certain quantity of spooky, Hallowe'eny art accumulated in our incoming directory. We actually debated just releasing it as a separate Hallowe'en pack, but twice as many packs == twice as much administrative work, so to avoid killing our senior staff (what would be a more fitting Devil’s Night twist?) we opted to lump it all in as a sub-theme within the greater pack.
There’s lots to enjoy here – and even tomorrow, when the Christmas decorations come out, there will still be lots of non-Hallowe'eny material in there for you to continue enjoying. (And how does that joke go? “Why do programmers confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because 25 DEC == 31 OCT!”)
But in the meantime… Boo!
