Iamgreaser: yeah ok this is dead

OK, asiekierka's been missing from gtalk for nearly 9 days, so I'm going to have to say what I can here. --[[User:Iamgreaser|GreaseMonkey]]

''(and here's how i will mark my additions -- asiekierka)''

Basically, this MZX company started when [[GreaseMonkey]] wanted to team up with [[asiekierka]] for the [[Summer 2009 Dualstream Day of Zeux|Summer 2009 DsDoZ]], even after being told several times by asiekierka that it was probably not a good idea. Unfortunately, asiekierka was not available when the competition started, so GreaseMonkey had to go solo and managed to produce something which wasn't a smouldering pile of crap done in about 6 hours (see "Marooned" in the [[Winter 2008 Dualstream Day of Zeux|Winter 2008 DsDoZ]]), at the expense of nearly going full circle through the day (6:30am to 3:15am... this was actually achieved in the next DoZ).

Then asiekierka contacted GreaseMonkey and decided to do a collab game, "Reporting on the DoZ", parodying all the entries. asiekierka started a "company" called Team AScii and even made a logo ''(first in 80x25 then in 80x50 -- asiekierka)'' for it. Unfortunately, all that came of this game was a parody of the title screen in [[Lancer-X|Lancer's]] DoZ entry (having the music, then cutting the fuzzy background / music into TV white noise and then a test pattern).

Uh, so that's roughly how Team AScii was formed. ''(yeah)''

[[Forsaken Daylight]] was ''almost'' a Team AScii release (they changed their DoZ team name to "Team Betamax" after asiekierka's then-current obscession with video-tapes).

Other than ''maybe'' that, there seems to be no Team AScii MZX releases ''(a few were planned but nothing was finished)'', although GreaseMonkey made a custom C + Lua Minecraft server and then eventually left Minecraft after Notch (the author) suggested trolling some 10-year-old on Skype ''(then came back in August 2011)'', leaving asiekierka effectively in charge of the Luacraft code.

asiekierka modified a tool to bruteforce a master key on the Nintendo DSi so that it could work in a distributed network setting or something like that. ''(then marketed it wrong and got into a massive flamewar)''

The [http://youtube.com/user/asciicharismatic YouTube channel] has some videos by asiekierka, although most of them are just uploads of stuff he's seen and wants archived / shown / whatever.

But yeah, as of some point in February 2010, Team AScii is still running! ...somewhat. ''(Unofficially dead since late 2010)'' (I think we can make that official now --GM)

So uh, yeah, there's my rant. -GM

Iamgreaser: Introducting the new asiekierka company or something like that

Iamgreaser: sutb

==The basics==
GreaseMonkey (iamgreaser on the forums + [[User:iamgreaser|this wiki]]) is an occasional MZXer, an occasional ZZTer, and ''very'' occasionally releases stuff. He lives in New Zealand. His two biggest releases have been collabs, and one of those were a DoZ entry. He also composes music using SchismTracker, and tends to bash out weird algorithms in Python and now Ruby. These tend to be either have something to do with file compression or some audio stuff, the latter usually being a MOD | S3M | IT player.

GreaseMonkey is a member of [[Team AScii]].

==GreaseMonkey's games==
*[[Automobile Conspiracy]] ([[Summer 2009 Dualstream Day of Zeux|Summer 2009 DsDoZ]] entry)
*[[Forsaken Daylight]] ([[Winter 2010 Dualstream Day of Zeux|Winter 2010 DsDoZ]] entry with [[CJA]] and [[asiekierka]])
*[[Joe Beans: Flight]] (with [[CJA]] and [[Kom]] w/ support from [[micah]] and [[SeventhShade]])

Iamgreaser: update: bkzx ftw

Hi, I'm GreaseMonkey. I do both ZZT and MZX, though I haven't done much ZZT recently. I do not have any released MZX games, and I only have a small ZZT tutorial at z2.

Oh, wait. I've done some BKZX'ing recently. Yeah.

I also made a 4-way gravity engine before koji managed to iron out the bugs in his. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5s_fS6DslY Vid]
