up to now , nanostray is probably the most advanced ds game when it comes to graphics !
exclaims benhard wodok from shin ' en . those who have seen the spectacular shoot - ' em - up in action agree . however , not everyone is aware that the team from shin ' en once claimed quite some attention in the amiga - and pc - demoscenes . the guys created more than 60 scene productions - and now they ' re among the technology leaders in the handheld gaming industry .

nanostray rocks . it ' s a masterpiece from the technical point of view and also makes fun to play . watch these videos ( 11mb ) to see the game in action .
and released plenty of demos , intro and music disks - mainly for the amiga but later on , also for the pc . and if you own a website with the url the - leaders - of - the - eighties . de , you surely are among the most glorious sceners there are [ - or you have a thing for hyperbole ; - ) / ed ] . demos like
,
released in 1998 on pc . the last release from abyss was the atmospheric music disk
most of the abyss - fame comes from their musician
pink
who ' s called manfred linzner in real life . he has claims to being one of the best scene musicians there is . he has created monumental works with his terrific demo soundtracks and chip - tunes . he also knows how to code . in the beginning , he was only developing programs related to music - the ahx - engine . a heavily modified version is also available for the nintendo gba and ds , and provides those consoles with perfect sound and music quality . since 1997 , manfred has also been interested in game programming . this started with puzzle games such as
rise of the rabbits 1 + 2
and the action game
a - type .
those three titles were created on amiga and fit neatly within 32kb , while maintaining good looks and fun gameplay .
manfred
pink
linzner is really a talented musician . you can find samples from the nanostray and iridion ii soundtrack below , as well as some of his old amiga modules . you can play all of these files with winamp , for example .
it was only a question of time until abyss decided to invest their collected knowledge from the demoscene into commercial game . in the beginning , they had chosen the gbc as their platform because this was most comparable with amiga . later they moved to the gba where they finally had their breaktrough with the impressive shot ' em ups
will soon be released - which is why we wanted to talk to bartman and pink . but of course , we also wanted to know how it was in the demoscene , back then .
bobic : how did you get your attention towards the demoscene ? bartman : that was somewhen around 1991 / 1992 . together with a friend , i found a hardware programming lesson in the
amiga - magazin
and i joined in . of course i ' d seen a few crack intros before , and then i tried to them on my own . when i was looking for a musician , i stumbled upon pink and we founded the demogroup
pyrodex
. 1994 , we got contacted by abyss , because many of the abyss members have been living around us in munich . they planned to do something together and since the members of abyss didn ' t want to join pyrodex , we did it the other way round .
bobic : and as
abyss
you did plenty of demos for the amiga . what was your best experience in that time ? and of course : what was the worst ?
bartman : of course , the best thing you can get , were the demoparties - where we also won something . i think we got most of the prizes at the party 97 / 98 and at mekka & symposium 98 . that was very cool . of coruse we also had flops , like the saturne party 97 , when there was no power for 10 hours and all competitions were cancelled . that was quite a disappointment after the long trip to paris .

fast racing neo 1 . 5 would be awesome . make it happen , please : )
as a studio you were relatively quiet early in the year , though fans knew you were working on fast racing neo . can you talk a little about the first quarter of 2015 and what was happening behind the scenes ?
the first quarter of 2015 was very busy . in this time we finally nailed the look and feel of all the tracks in the game . we got a lot of feedback on early builds of the game and that was a big help to focus on finishing what we started two years ago .
e3 was a key moment for the game , with an early teaser trailer just before the show and then an appearance on the treehouse broadcast in la . first of all , can you talk about how that appearance came together and was arranged ?
we always have good contact with nintendo and so they knew that we had something special in the works . after showcasing our game on several occasions for nintendo of europe we got the invitation for e3 from nintendo of america .
fast racing neo was simply the right title at the right time , and with the right quality that nintendo wants to see when they pick up on an upcoming release .
fortunately we already had a very stable build at the time when we got approached . so we knew it would be a good showcase . we took some weeks to add as much polish as possible into the tracks and ships ; we were quite excited to see how people would react to it .
we followed several live streams and people ' s positive reactions heated up within seconds after seeing the game . at this time we knew that everything we have done so far could work out in the end .
yes , it was a major motivational boost for the final months in the game ' s development .
the feedback was invaluable ! we got reactions ranging from young kids to people even older then us ! we had all sorts of players together and from all these inputs we tried to distil a formula for how the races should feel for players . that shaped the ai behaviour and track selection for the cups in a fundamental way .
if you need to crunch you did something wrong in the past . this can happen once or twice but you learn from your mistakes . we ' ve made games for more than two decades and know our limits very well .
when developing such a large game there are up and downs . you always have this vision but there were various technical hurdles to take on , and sometimes it looked like we would never finish and the task was too enormous . when looking at our team realistically we knew that our small size would be a risk but also a hidden power . other great games like ours were done by 10x larger teams and budgets . so we always tried to find new ways to create the game , but going down such unknown paths is a pressure and risk in itself because sometimes they don ' t work out and time and resources are wasted .
after some months we finally realized we could handle it , and this was the time the pressure dropped and the fun came back . of course it ' s hard work to finish a game , but everything finally felt right and we were really looking to the day it would be released .
the anticipation was certainly very high but in the last months prior to release we had so much work to do that we only grasped a fraction of it .
the name ' f - zero ' is often mentioned , though most acknowledge what makes fast racing neo different and unique . nevertheless , is that a comparison you enjoy , or would you prefer it didn ' t happen ?
well , there are only two really big sci - fi racing games around . everyone knows them . so its just logical that we get compared over and over again . we don ' t have a problem with that . when people start playing frn they realize that this is something very different to these other games while still being a perfect sci - fi racer on its own .
as we talk the game has just launched in the eshop : what are your early instincts on its reception . has the response to its launch been what you hoped it would be ?
we had a bet running in the company on how many copies would be sold on day one . martin called the highest number . and he was right . it was almost exactly the number he predicted . we are very pleased with the sales so far , but on the other side our preceding investment was very high as well . anyway , currently it looks pretty bright for the sales .
there are already some frn improvements planned along with fixes . detailed plans for frn ' s future will be made next year .
we also started working on some new game prototypes , like we always do .
all in all we did the best we can , and this has already made us happy - regardless how everything turns out in the end .
i ' ve been in gamer heaven this month . xenoblade and this and i feel like i ' m 7 years old and just found the joy of video games ! thanks guys !
this is the best game you guys have made , well done . now please do a wii u jett rocket .
i really hope a lot of people find and buy this gem . there aren ' t enough futuristic racers these days .
got it last weekend and had 4 friends playing the heck out of it . awesome game . if given a decent budget they i think they could be the new rare .
surprisingly , i and i think , most other people , saw the different speeds and thought
well , at least i can play on easy
. i thought medium and hard looked downright impossible . but they ' re not . after playing it for about 15 - 20 hours now , i ' ve completed it on medium and i ' m halfway through hard . those speed classes are not as impossible as they look !
if they put the soundtrack up for purchase , i ' ll definitely get it . i ' d also rebuy if they manage to get a disc based version released .
it ' s always so refreshing to hear them talk . . . investing their time in such a great game , beautiful graphics , supportive of nintendo , working well with nintendo , happy about sales results . . . these guys are nintendo paradise .
i love this game , though i ' ve only played it for about 3 hours . online is intense too , it adds a lot of value to the game for that small $ 15 price tag .
great game ! wish them all the best with the sales . i picked it up day 1 , with some trepidation , but it is truly a great game ! nintendo should buy them . fast !
great game . so great in fact , that some more tracks would be nice . will pay whatever . . .
can ' t believe i haven ' t bought this game yet , i really hope nintendo gives this studio the chance to work on the f - zero license .
when such a tiny team can create something so beautiful and so technically impressive , it really exposes the big third parties and their lazy , ineptitude .
i really hope they get the sales they need to make this a worthwhile endeavour . we need talented indies to have the confidence to make these kind of ambitious games and show the big boys how it ' s done .
i ' m waiting for my nintendo eshop gift card for christmas , so i can buy this game . i ' m looking forward to it ! the game looks great , could be mistaken for a premium title easily .
well in germany you couldn ' t do that anyway because of our laws .
what are the chances of the first one coming out on physical release with this one ? i really want this , my favorite genre , but i know it ' s going to be too difficult for me and i won ' t be able to unlock the second cup . can you at least experience all tracks in time trial mode ? or in online play ? i went back to the first one again last night and repeatedly failed on the first cup . last place , almost every race . don ' t see how this one will be different , but if all tracks are available in time trial mode or at least in online play randomly , that ' s a plus . i don ' t play video games for a challenge , i play them to zone out .
i can ' t wait until i can afford to buy this . and i can ' t wait to see what they do next . i was just thinking that i would love to see their take on the superhero brawler .
not in the racing mood but i just picked this up anyway to support these guys , it will be there when i am in the mood . i was blown away by the small file size .
only played it briefly and won 2 cups - i just haven ' t had the time to play it , but what i have played feels great . and for them to sell it at such an amazing price , i feel every wii u owner should show them some love and pick it up .
i like these guys and hope the game sells really well it deserves to .
1 . can you make it so it ' s actually possible for people to make soft / smooth landings if they control the vehicle across jumps perfectly ? rather than it always looking like the craft is smashing violently into the track when it lands - - or at least that ' s how it ' s looked in every single gameplay video i ' ve seen thus far - - as it comes across like the player is being
punished
even when they make a jump perfectly .
2 . if it ' s not in there already in the game , can you add an optional mode where it ' s possible to race without any orbs on the track at all ? you can figure out how the shield , boosting , and phase changing will work without any orbs to collect .
i think those were the only gripes i have with what i ' ve seen of the game . and , no , i ' ve not played fast racing neo personally , but that ' s only because i ' m too poor to own a wii u and to buy your game , otherwise i would get it . i did get fast racing league on wii though , if that makes certain people who might feel otherwise , feel like i ' m at least somewhat entitled to have an opinion on fast racing neo .
very refreshing to read a dev happy with their product and their sales and the fanbase . i still need to buy this i admit , but definitely will .

the ancient egyptians believed that toxins formed as a result of decomposition within the intestines . this perception still exists , as evidenced by the plethora of advertisements for colon cleansing . in combination with the tough image of samurai committing seppuku , this leads to phenomena such as the australian death metal band disembowelment and songs such as ' self disembowelment ' by devourment , with lyrics such as ' i must release these vile insects from inside of me ' - although the lyrics as a whole are quite difficult to follow [ 2 ] .

australian death / doom band formed in 1989 . they recorded two demos , an ep and one full - length album before breaking up in 1993 . two members continued to play disembowelment songs live under the name d . usk , and later formed another band in a similar style called inverloch .
rare examples of self - disembowelment include the report of a new jersey man who allegedly cut out his entrails in front of police and then threw bits of his intestines at them [ 3 ] . also , a case is mentioned in the 1968 edition of the atlas of legal medicine [ 4 ] .
the japanese custom of seppuku ( also called hara - kiri ) , or self - disembowelment , was long practiced as a ceremonial rite among samurai . japan’s use of kamikaze suicide bombers during world war ii was a precursor to the suicide bombing that emerged in the late 20th century as a form of terrorism , particularly…
however , death by disembowelment is an excruciatingly drawn out process . thus , warriors who chose to die in this less than optimal this manner win awe and respect from their peers . the romanticisation of such deaths as dramatic display of bravery and determination elevated this method of suicide above other , less painful ways , to die .
seppuku ( 切腹 ) is a form of japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment . seppuku was originally reserved only for samurai . part of the samurai bushido honour code , seppuku was either used voluntarily by samurai to die with honour rather than fall into the hands of their enemies , or as a form of capital punishment for samurai who had committed serious offenses , or performed because they had brought shame to themselves . the ceremonial disembowelment , which is usually part of a more elaborate ritual and performed in front of spectators , consists of plunging a short blade , traditionally a tantō , into the abdomen and moving the blade from left to right in a slicing motion .
disembowelment , or the removal of a person’s bowels often through a horizontal incision in the abdominal area — as it appears to have been done in this video , has been used in a number of countries as a method of torture and execution . it is almost always fatal without medical attention , but death is prefaced by several hours of severe pain .
this is somewhat of an idealisation since disembowelment was , originally , just one of several methods for committing suicide . many great warriors , such as kusunoki masashige , killed themselves in other ways and were no less venerated for it . at these older times , harakiri was mostly a way for warriors to go down fighting . no special honour or deeper meaning was attached .
in this edgar award - nominated mystery , john maddox roberts takes listeners back to a rome filled with violence and evil . vicious gangs ruled the streets of crassus and pompey , routinely preying on plebeian and patrician alike . so the garroting of a lowly ex - slave and the disembowelment of a foreign merchant in the dangerous subura district seemed of little consequence to the roman hierarchy .
my first case observing the slow torture of a victim condemned to death was the disembowelment of a young woman in spain . the pretty dark haired girl , name teresa , was captured during a secret meeting of traitors , and in spite of her pleas of innocence , had been convicted of treason herself . the king was particularly concerned that the group of seditionists spent a long time suffering before their death .
while martial suicide is a practice found in a lot of cultures , the act of seppuku , or ritual self - disembowelment , is peculiar to japan . the earliest known acts of seppuku were the deaths of samurai minamoto tametomo and poet minamoto yorimasa in the latter part of the 12th century . seppuku is known in the west as hara - kiri . however , the term seppuku is considered a more elegant usage .
as we had removed the most easily obtained intestines , any more disembowelment would require a larger opening . the gutting knife was produced once more , and inserted at the far edge of the existing wound . pressing in and then down with much force , the flesh was opened up in a descending gouge . a large flap of the victim ' s belly opened up with a somewhat wet flopping noise . her attempts at screaming were almost inaudible , as she was no longer able to use her abdominal muscles .

blood loss in this case is still going to be very severe - nearly all the abdominal organs are pretty amply supplied with arterial blood . it ' s a bit hard to work out precisely , but the combined cross - sectional area of the arteries supplying the liver , kidneys and intestines appears to be about equivalent to that of a femoral artery - so if some other aspect of disembowelment doesn ' t do the victim in first , and nothing is done to stop the flow , i think that death through loss of blood must occur in a couple of minutes at most .
encarta says that for many centuries there were an estimated 1 , 500 instances of voluntary and obligatory hara - kiri per year . but in 1868 or 1873 ( sources disagree ) the emperor abolished obligatory hara - kiri , and voluntary procedures became less frequent as well . still , during world war ii many japanese soldiers committed hara - kiri rather than tolerate capture . finally , hara - kiri ( meaning
belly cutting
) is not a word that most japanese use . the common term for the practice in japan is
seppuku
which roughly translates to
self - disembowelment .
wallace was tried in westminster hall , sentenced , and drawn through the streets to the tower of london . he was then drawn further to smithfield where he was hanged but cut down still alive . he suffered a complete emasculation and disembowelment , his genitalia and entrails burnt before him . his heart was then removed from his chest , his body decapitated and quartered . wallace achieved a great number of victories against the british army , including the battle of stirling bridge in which he was greatly outnumbered . after his execution , wallace’s parts were displayed in the towns of newcastle , berwick , stirling , and aberdeen .
the outlets of a swimming / spa pool are connected to a powerful circulation pumping system . if the outlets are blocked , whatever is causing the blockage will be exposed to the suction force of the circulation pumping system . the circulation pumps will be sucking on whatever is causing the blockage , causing a vacuum . at this point , it will be very difficult to remove the blockage without turning off the circulation pump ( s ) . if the blockage is a person , then tragic consequences can occur , including drowning , disembowelment and transanal evisceration , which is where internal organs are forcefully drawn out through the anus .
not true . the bowel can and does slither out of the abdomen when opened . it can happen after abdominal surgery when , for various reasons , the wound dehisces . i ' ve seen it once . because the patient was on a bed that burbles air through sand - like pellets , the bed surface moved constantly . the bowel fountained out before any of us could turn the bed off . it was quite horrifying . the patient was taken back to surgery immediately , but much of the large intestine had already died . another patient with almost total disembowelment was a stabbing victum . his intestine fell onto the sidewalk . he was in the icu for 7 months .
hanging was the standard form of capital punishment for the common man , but beheading by a swordsman could happen for nobles . those who committed high treason could be sentenced to being hanged , drawn , and quartered . this involved hanging the criminal almost to the point of death , cutting them down , emasculation , disembowelment , beheading , and then finally cutting the body into four parts . this method of execution was abolished in 1870 . part way through the 18th century , the english gov ' t reformed to policy to hanging the body until death , then drawing and quartering . women convicted of treason could be burnt at the stake , but by the 18th century , this was rare .
on his way to the top of the social totem pole , caesar never failed to take advantage of an opportunity to make enemies . his knack for angering senators is epitomized in a quote of his , circa march 14 ; ' you can ' t please everyone , but you can piss off every last one of them , and when that happens , you get stabbed thirtysomething times and die a horrible , gruesome death . ' unfortunately , this gave certain brutuses and cassiuses ideas , and the next day he was stabbed thirtysomething times and died a horrible , gruesome death . the event ( his gory , lengthy stabbing and subsequent puking of blood and explosive disembowelment ) has been made into three major motion pictures .
in cases where men were brought to the table unconscious , a splash of water was used to wake them up . often the disembowelment and castration of the victim would follow , the genitalia and entrails burned before the condemned ' s eyes . in many cases , the shock of such mutilation killed the victim . finally the victim would be beheaded and the body divided into four parts , or quartered . quartering was sometimes accomplished by tying the body’s limbs to four horses , each horse being spurred away in a different direction . typically , the resulting parts of the body were gibbeted , or put on public display , in different parts of the city , town , or country , to deter potential traitors . the head was commonly sent to the tower of london . gibbeting was abolished in 1843 .
to be drawn and quartered was the penalty ordained in england for the crime of treason . it is considered by many to be the epitome of cruel punishment , and was reserved for the crime of treason as this was deemed more heinous than murder and other capital offenses . the grisly punishment included the drawing of the convicted to the gallows , often by horse , the hanging of the body until near death , disembowelment and castration , followed by the beheading of the body , and finally the quartering of the corpse , or the division of the bodily remnants into four pieces . the punishment was carried out in public , with the ridicule of the crowd adding to the criminal ' s suffering . this punishment was only applied to male criminals ; women found guilty of treason in england were burnt at the stake . it was first employed in the thirteenth century and last carried out in 1782 , although not abolished until 1867 .

— the family of a wake county girl who was nearly killed by a wading pool drain will not have to await years of appeals and uncertainly following a record $ 25 million jury award .
the family of valerie lakey and sta - rite industries of wisconsin reached a settlement tuesday morning before a jury was to consider whether additional , punitive damages should be awarded in the case . the agreement calls for monday ' s $ 25 million compensatory damages award to stay intact , but the family agreed not to seek additional punitive damages , which could have meant a payout of millions more by sta - rite . meanwhile , the company agreed not to appeal monday ' s verdict and award .
the agreement eliminates the possibility that the record award , the largest damage award in north carolina history , could be reduced on appeals , which can drag on for years .
valerie ' s reaction ?
i ' m just happy my parents are out of court ,
she said .
with tuesday ' s settlement , valerie ' s family has won damages totaling $ 30 . 9 million . sta - rite has agreed to send a $ 25 million check to the lakeys ' attorneys by the of the month .
valerie , 9 , was 5 years old when she went to the medfield area recreation club in cary with her father on june 24 , 1993 . the drain cover in the wading pool had been removed by someone , and valerie sat on the opening . the suction was so strong that four adults could not pull valerie from the drain .
about 80 percent of valerie ' s intestines were pulled from her body . as a result of the injuries , valerie must be fed intravenously for about 12 hours each day , and she may face liver and kidney transplants .
last year , the medfield club settled with the lakeys for $ 500 , 000 . wake county , which certified the pool , settled for $ 2 . 5 million , and the maker of the wading pool pump settled for $ 2 . 9 million .
the lakeys ' attorneys , john edwards and david kirby , argued that sta - rite had failed to take action to prevent injuries even though it knew of at least a dozen cases where people had become trapped or injured on pool drains . a california child was killed in a 1974 accident similar to valerie ' s ; in 1981 , a boy in henderson was killed the same way .
but attorneys for sta - rite had argued that the recreation center was negligent for not properly fastening the drain cover .
sta - rite , a subsidiary of wisconsin gas co . , is one of the nation ' s largest makers of pool equipment .

a government committee’s testimony translated by heat street , a conservative site owned by news corp . , on friday spotlights beheadings , gouged - out eyes , and sexual abuse at the bataclan theater last year . the islamic state terror attacks killed 130 across the city and 89 at the concert venue alone .
a translation provided by the website show france’s commission of inquiry asking an investigator about the remains of victims on the second floor of the theater . the questioner said that injuries attributed to shrapnel seem dubious given that one man had his testicles removed and placed in his mouth .
“some of the bodies found at the bataclan were extremely mutilated by the explosions and weapons , to the point that it was sometimes difficult to reconstruct the dismembered bodies , ” an prosecutor said . “in other words , injuries described … may also have been caused by automatic weapons , by explosions or projections of nails and bolts that have resulted . ”
“would those have put a man’s [ testicles ] in in his own mouth ? ” the committee member fired back .
according to this testimony , wahhabist killers apparently gouged out eyes , castrated victims , and shoved their testicles in their mouths . they may also have disemboweled some poor souls . women were stabbed in the genitals – and the torture was , victims told police , filmed for daesh or islamic state propaganda . for that reason , medics did not release the bodies of torture victims to the families , investigators said .
but prosecutors claimed these reports of torture were “a rumor” on the grounds that sharp knives were not found at the scene . they also claimed that maybe shrapnel had caused the injuries .
as yemeni president ali abdullah saleh plans to sign a deal today that could mean the end of his 33 - year rule , a graphic new video has emerged that indicates human rights abuses continue in the country’s 11 - month - old uprising .

the garrote very common once , is no longer sanctioned by law in any country though training in its use is still carried out in the french foreign legion . the garrote is a device that strangles a person to death . it can also be used to break a person’s neck . the device was used in spain until it was outlawed in 1978 with the abolition of the death penalty . it normally consisted of a seat in which the prisoner was restrained while the executioner tightened a metal band around his neck until he died . some versions of the garrote incorporated a metal bolt which pressed in to the spinal chord , breaking the neck . the victim may pass into a state of severe and painful convulsions and then pass into death . this spiked version is known as the catalan garrote . the last execution by garrote was josé luis cerveto in october 1977 . andorra was the last country in the world to outlaw its use , doing so in 1990 . however garroting is still common in india according indian author and forensic expert parikh .
flaying is the removal of skin from the body . like an animal is flayed in preparation for human consumption , or for its hide or fur ; this is more commonly called skinning , flaying is similar method applied onto humans . flaying of humans was used as both a method of torture and execution , depending on how much of the skin is removed . flaying is an ancient practice , used by assyrians and ming dynasty .
where the victim is dipped in a big bowl . this method was used in russia and europe 3000 years ago and they used oil , acid or water . this type is considered slow and extremely painful . this penalty was carried out using a large cauldron filled with water , oil , tar , tallow or even molten lead . sometimes the victim was immersed , the liquid then being heated , or he was plunged into the already boiling contents , usually head first . the executioner could then help speed their demise by means of a large hook with which he sank the person deeper . an alternative method was to use a large shallow receptacle rather than a cauldron ; oil , tallow or pitch then being poured in . the victim was then partially immersed in the liquid and fried to death .

the reasoning for the continuing cover up is unfathomable . the horror that is now known is unspeakable . the pain the victims experienced is unthinkable .
we now know the french government sought to cover up the fact that many victims of last year’s terrorist attack in paris at the bataclan music hall were savagely tortured , including genital mutilation .
a french government committee’s testimony on friday revealed publicly for the first time the beheadings , gouged - out eyes , and sexual abuse at the bataclan theater last year . the islamic state terror attacks killed 130 across the city and 89 at that single location alone .
“some of the bodies found at the bataclan were extremely mutilated by the explosions and weapons , to the point that it was sometimes difficult to reconstruct the dismembered bodies , ” a prosecutor said . “in other words , injuries described may also have been caused by automatic weapons , by explosions or projections of nails and bolts that have resulted . ”
“would those have put a man’s testicles in in his own mouth ? ” a committee member fired back .
according to a police chief’s testimony , isis killers gouged out eyes , castrated victims and shoved their testicles in their mouths . they also disemboweled people .
women were stabbed in the genitals and the torture was filmed for islamic state propaganda . the carnage was so terrible to see that police did not release the remains of torture victims to the families .
no one in france has yet to offer any explanation for keeping this information secret until now .

from what i make out from the picture ' s text , this 26 year old was cruelly tortured and murdered . his legs were broken , ears and lips cut off , eyes gouged , chest stabbed and heart extracted .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
save your breath . . . you ' ll need it to blow up your date !
so i take it he wasn ' t exactly hanging out with friends and family when he exited stage right . .
disclaimer : this is not entirely my own ; i based it off a writing from a website .
while i have always practiced my skills in the effort to persuade reticent or evil persons to confess or provide information , my experiences took me to a number of places where i was able to observe executions . my personal preference is not to involve myself in the slow and painful executions of the condemned , but rather to persuade ; though it is true that my methods sometimes result in the eventual death of the victim , it is not the primary purpose .
it is remarkable how much the human body can be damaged without causing immediate death . death may result over time due to the deterioration and of the damaged area and failure to heal ; but if certain areas of the body are left intact , the victim remains alive to deal with the agony inflicted on her for many days . if damage to the brain , the heart and lungs are avoided , and care is given to prevent the loss of too much blood , the victim is perfectly capable of surviving for long periods of time .
several guards were tasked with causing her slow death , and being a good acquaintance with the chief prison guard , i was invited to observe . i agreed willingly , hoping to learn new techniques that might be useful in my own work , and was admitted to the prison on the morning after the victim ' s conviction and sentence . the torture was not to take place in the holding cell , where the girl was secured in stocks which had prevented any significant movement for the last several days . the guards took me to the cell first , where several women were held , chained or held in most uncomfortable restraints . the youngest of the lot , a young woman with long raven black hair and a pretty face , was released from her restraint and dragged from the room .
as we reached the torture chamber , the girl was thrown to the floor . she was wearing a typical bar maid ' s dress , apron and bodice ; all were stained and dirty from her work , and later from the stress of imprisonment . two of the guards quickly relieved the girl of these clothes , tearing them from her as she struggled feebly to resist .
when she was reduced to her tiny panty and stood before us at last , she revealed the most nubile , well formed and pleasant female form i had observed in many a year . as is clear from my writings , torture is best inflicted when the victim is naked , as the feeling of helplessness and vulnerability is enhanced ; thus i had seen many women naked in my time as an interrogator . this woman was medium height , thin , but with beautiful curved breasts , slight ripples from her ribs seen under the flesh of her sides , a thin waist and pleasingly firm buttocks . the flat expanse of her abdomen was well toned with a hint of definition , almost as if she was an athlete , and her legs were strong and shapely .
it seemed almost a tragedy to tear and destroy this impressive girl ; the guards lifted the girl from the table and dragged her to a large cross of wood that stood against the wall of the chamber . there the woman had her wrists securely tied to the upper beams , and then her ankles forced apart and tied to the lower beams . the ropes were pulled very tight , and she cried out as they were tightened , begging for mercy for the first time . no mercy was given , of course , and the ropes were tightened until there was no possibility that she could struggle free . they cut into her wrists sharply , causing some blood to seep out , and her hands and feet quickly turned purple as the blood circulation was cut off .
the beautiful shape of the young woman ' s body was accentuated by her position : hanging from her arms , stretched to show her naked upper body to full advantage , legs spread and tied apart . her breathing was quick , the pain of her bonds taking hold as her weight pulled her down . she writhed , attempting to gain freedom , or at the least to find a less painful position .
one guard produced several items to be used during the torture of the girl . a knife , a hook of sorts , and a bucket . the knife was like those that fishermen use for gutting a fish , short and curved back on itself , with the sharp of the blade facing to the inside of the curve .
the knife was placed against the flat belly of the girl , who looked down and saw the sharp point pressing against her flesh . a small trickle of blood marked deep red against the white smoothness of her flesh . as she saw what was about to happen , she screamed in panic , swearing that she was innocent , that she would do anything to avoid her fate , begging for mercy . the blood from the puncture wound in her upper belly trickled down between her legs .
with a sudden thrust , the knife was plunged deeper into her flesh , and then pulled hard to the side . the screams changed from panic to agony as her flesh was ripped apart , a gash about six or seven inches long opening up halfway between her belly button and her chest .
the knife was removed , and i observed that because of the curve in the blade , it had penetrated sufficiently to slice open the belly , but not enter or tear the internal organs . perfectly suited to the job , the knife had opened her up , ready for exploration , without doing any serious damage to her insides .
the poor girl ' s screams had actually subsided some , as i suspect the shock of what was happening overwhelmed her . she looked down , saw the gash in her abdomen , and then tilted her head back and stared at the ceiling as she sobbed .
the bucket was placed below the girl , and just in front . there it waited for a while , as the executioner guard drank some wine and chatted with the rest of us about the crime the girl had committed . he estimated that she would live at least a day , and perhaps longer , before succumbing to infection and shock .
after being fortified with several goblets of wine , the guard took the strange hook in hand and approached the hanging girl . the hook had two sharp prongs at the end , pointed and hooked around on themselves in a most evil manner . slowly , he worked it into the gaping wound in her abdomen , sliding it in and then around inside of her . at last he seemed satisfied and began slowly pulling it out . as the hook appeared once again , we could see it had penetrated and was pulling out a thin white tube of flesh . this tube was only about an inch in diameter , perhaps a little more , and while it was covered in red blood , the tissue looked more like a pale purple and gray .
the small intestine was pulled from the opening , slowly sliding out like an eel or wet worm . when a foot of it had been pulled out and lay hanging over the condemned belly , the guard removed the hook from where it pierced the organ and re - inserted it deep within the girls abdomen . pushing in further , the iron rod which ended in the hook disappeared inside her .
the girl was sweating profusely , water gathering and trickling down her beautiful body , breasts wobbling as she struggled , chest rising and falling as she screamed . she looked down and saw how she was slowly being torn apart . the horror of it overwhelmed her and she slumped unconscious for a moment , though only for a moment . the rod was slowly being removed and as the hook appeared once again , it showed that more of the intestines had been grabbed and were being pulled out . three feet of bowel now hung out of the wound and down the belly of the girl .
grabbing the bowel , the guard pulled slowly but surely , and the snake - like slimy mess slid easily out of the opening . the girl hung her head , watching her intestines being removed slowly . enough had been removed that they now began to gather in the bucket below , wrapping around in a circular pattern , covered with blood and slime .
the woman was clearly in agony , but the greater part of the pain was in knowing , and actually seeing , how her body was being slowly violated and taken apart . she sobbed , cried , and screamed when strength allowed her , no longer begging for mercy . her hands had turned a deep purple , fingers swollen and unmoving . blood now covered the front of her flesh from her belly downward , making a stark contrast to the beauty of her smooth skin above , the shapeliness of her breasts , neck , and the beauty of her face and hair .
as more of the bowels slid out and filled the bucket , i took the opportunity to come close to the victim and observer the operation more closely . the opening in her upper belly was low enough so as not to damage her chest or diaphragm , which accounted for her continued ability to scream . her abdomen , which had been flat before , appeared to be becoming slightly concave . somewhere around 10 or 12 feet of her bowels had been removed at this time .
while there was blood , most of it was from the initial gash to gain entrance to her insides . this was no longer bleeding , and the operation continued , removing her bowels without causing any immediate life threatening damage . an unfortunate side effect of this torture – she lost complete control of her bowels , and defecated through her panties and on the floor below her , in violent , large bursts . the stench was rather oppressive for some time after .
when almost 25 feet of the thin , slightly lumpy gray tubing had been pulled from her , the guard stopped , and lifted a large handful up to the woman ' s face . intestines were smeared over the beautiful cheeks , lips and eyes… and then looped over her neck so that she wore her own bowels like a necklace .
no longer screaming with agony , the woman was still in great pain but lacked the strength to express it . her body was shaking uncontrollably . and then , just as the guard moved to remove the last bit of intestine , she weakly vomited and then fainted .
a bucket of water was produced and splashed on her face and upper body . this cleaned some of the slime from her and restored some of her previous beauty . it also roused her from her faint , and she looked down at the remains of her belly and screamed with renewed vigor .
her bowels were still connected to her insides , and ran back up into the gash in her belly . pulling harder , the guard slid more of her entrails out , and quickly exposed a much larger , wider organ that was deep red in color . there was very little of this exposed before it stubbornly refused to yield more of its length .
the interior of the torture chamber had become saturated with terrible odors , and was almost breathable . at my suggestion , all of us decided to go wash and refresh ourselves at the local tavern , to return later and finish the task .
after a good meal and several bottles of wine , we returned to the prison and descended to the chamber . the offensive odors within struck us hard , as if it were a physical wall . the woman hung from the cross , breathing with a rasping labored effort . flies had gathered around her entire body , infesting her extracted entrails , her open belly , and her face .
with experienced hands , the knife sliced out her remaining large intestine , and her bowels fell free of her body , no longer hanging out . blood pour freshly , mixing with the blackened dried blood from several hours before .
pressing around inside the opened abdomen , the guard then applied the knife once again , cutting swiftly . he produced a lumpy glob of flesh and explained it was the internal part of her woman ' s organs . this horrible visage actually made my stomach churn , seeing the woman ' s internal organs removed and displayed in this manner as she looked on in a haze of agony , hanging from the cross .
after some time , it became clear the woman was slipping in and out of consciousness , but might live for some time . i suggested that we get the process over with , and help her to her final reward ( or punishment , as the case was for this traitor ) . the oppressive stench of that room was very unpleasant , and i had no more wish to view the woman ' s suffering .
in response , small , straight blade was produced . i took it to the woman , who looked at me with glazed , red eyes as i reached into her abdominal cavity . placing the tip under her diaphragm , i lanced the blade into her heart . fresh blood flowed to her mouth , and her eyes rolled back . soon there was no more movement in her body or face .
remaining there for a moment to assure she was dead , i jerked the blade away from her belly , and left the chamber . as i left , the other guards were cutting the ropes from her wrists and ankles , and there was a heavy thump as her once beautiful lifeless form fell to the ground on top of the remains of her disemboweled organs .
it was a lesson for me , watching this woman ' s death by torture . and while her fate was deserved as a treasonous wretch , i decided that my activities were to be restricted to the art of interrogation and persuasion from that time forward .

as the human spirit was believed to reside in the stomach , slitting the stomach open was considered to be the most straightforward , and bravest , way to die . therefore , this act was a privilege reserved for the samurai . commoners were allowed to hang or drown themselves , and samurai women could slit their own throats , but only a samurai was allowed to commit seppuku . by committing seppuku , a samurai would be able to maintain or prevent the loss of honor for himself and his extended family . therefore , a samurai who committed seppuku was often revered after his death . defeated or dishonored samurai who chose surrender rather than suicide often found themselves reviled by society .
by the edo period , the act of seppuku had become a fully developed ritual . great emphasis was placed on a strict adherence to the ceremony . in a typical seppuku , a large white cushion would be placed and witnesses would arrange themselves discreetly to one side . the samurai , wearing a white kimono , would kneel on the pillow in a formal style . behind and to the left of the samurai knelt his kaishakunin ( his “second” or assistant ) .
the duty of the kaishakunin was to prevent the samurai from experiencing prolonged suffering by cutting the samurai’s head off once he had slit his stomach . contrary to popular belief , the ritual of seppuku for a samurai did not technically involve suicide , but inflicting fatal injury , leaving the kaishakunin to strike the death blow . the kaishakunin needed to strike the samurai’s neck hard enough to sever the spine but also delicate enough to still leave the head attached . as severing the head completely dishonored both the samurai committing seppuku and the kaishakun , the role of “second” was given only to men who possessed superior control of their swords .
a servant would place a wooden table before the samurai , which would contain a sake ( rice wine ) cup , a sheaf of washi ( paper handmade from mulberry bark ) and writing utensils , as well as the kozuka ( disemboweling blade ) although the samurai would be allowed to use his own sword if he preferred . the sake cup was then filled from the left by an attendant . the samurai then emptied the cup in two drinks of exactly two sips each , as one sip would show greed , and three or more sips would show hesitation . this would make a total of four sips ( the character shi , which means “four” , also means “death” ) .

before committing seppuku , a samurai would write a jisei ( death poem ) which was considered important as a person facing imminent death was believed to have special insight into the nature of death and the value of life . the poem should be graceful and natural , usually in the theme of transient emotions . mentioning the samurai’s impending death in the poem would be considered poor form and uncouth . this was also important for the samurai as the poem would serve as a written glimpse into his nobility of character and how he wished to be remembered after his death . asano naganori , for example , whose seppuku precipitated the famous incident of the “forty - seven ronin” , is said to have written a particularly poor death poem , possibly because he implied the impending end to his life , thereby showing his immaturity and lack of character .
according to tradition , when he felt ready , the samurai would loosen the folds of his kimono , exposing his stomach . he would then lift the knife with one hand and unsheathe it with the other , setting the sheathe to one side . after mentally preparing himself , he would drive the knife into the left side of his stomach , then draw it across to the right . he would then turn the blade in his wound and bring it upward . most samurai did not have to endure this last agony , as the kaishakunin would cut their heads off at the first sign of pain . the cut in seppuku carried out to its finish was known as the jumonji ( crosswise cut ) , and to perform it in its entirety was considered a particularly impressive seppuku .
a samurai must keep his composure even on the brink of death , showing strength and full control of his mind and body in his last moments . any previous reputation of a samurai would be meaningless if he were to die in an unseemly manner . however , although a calm and composed state was ideal for the samurai committing this act , the eighteenth century book hagakure and other edo works relate stories of samurai losing their composure just before committing seppuku , and in some cases had to be forcibly decapitated .
