Nitzer Ebb also paid a tribute to their lead vocalist Douglas McCarthy, who recently passed away. Sad to see one of the pioneers of the genre gone so soon, but their music would live on.

Needless to say, the crowd during the Solar Fake performance was something else.

Yeah, they just finished their performance. I was right near the stage, and the crowd was wild.

Yeah, I was surprised as well. But considering the rest of the lineup (the other half of the event also include Nitzer Ebb, Solitary Experiments, and more), I guess it makes sense. A lot of notable bands here, if you are into the industrial scene.

Meanwhile, a lot of PC Zone readers in 1995 were understandably annoyed that their expensive PCs were becoming outdated so fast. Some of them were complaining about developers prioritizing grachics and chasing trends like "interactive movies" (FMV) over focusing on the gameplay.

Yeah, I wouldn't have complained if BF6 devs themselves hadn't bragged about how "our destruction is better than in any other game". It's just not true - from what I saw in beta, it's not even better than in some older Battlefield games.

I was going to retire from MP games myself, but The Finals brought me back. This game is basically what I expected to be the next big thing in the 10s - more interactivity, physics, and fully destructible maps. It's baffling that it took so long, and The Finals is still an outlier in this regard.
