On behalf of all the staff here at GSS, I'd like to wish you all a happy new years. Many things happened in 2006 in the gaming world, from the launch of the two new consoles, to Camelot's departure from Nintendo. While the chances are slim, I'm still looking forward to this year's formerly-E3 event, which may finally reveal what exactly Camelot has been working on.

I know I promised the new site and forums in a post several months ago, life has been busy and my initial free time prediction was too hopeful. However, as PDM and some of the moderators can attest, the site is very much underway, and I'm hoping it'll be ready to go live sometime in the next 6-8 weeks. We are still looking for anyone who owns a non-English version of the GS games, as we'd like to expand the new site into as many languages as possible.

So have a happy, successful new year, and look forward to future improvements here at GSS.

Woot, Happy New Year to everyone at GSSF! I was at a crazy party drinking and dancing my head off with my friends when the clock struck midnight.

I was sat in a chair, watching all the fireworks go off in London (wild huh? :D ). I would love to go there on New Year's Eve because it looks pretty amazing. It's just unfortuneate that I live so far away.
EDIT: I also remember one year when I was in the bathroom whilst Big Ben chimed. What a way to ring in the new year!

I like a lot of single songs too... Bands I need to look at: Plastic Constellations Cauterize Patent Pending And a bunch of local bands that you'll probably never hear of. Pandora rocks. I'm running out of things to say here. Perhaps I like duct tape? Yeah. This likely won't be touched for another year when my tastes have completely changed.

I was drinking sparkling cider and setting off party poppers. I'm so tame.

Kinda the same as Agatio here. After a few bottles vodka and then litres of beer made my... night. I do remember leaving the club at 6 A.M, and also remember waking up somewhere in the bushes a few hours later.

Happy new year everybody!!

Haha, gotta love waking up somewhere and having no idea how you got there. I love a good mystery, like the time I slept outside a football stadium on hard concrete and was woken up by people who worked there telling me to leave the premises. Anyway...

My new year was just mildly drinking and playing with fireworks. It's average but fun.

I believe Toasty was doing the Advance Wars site, but it seems to have gone boom.

It hasn't exploded yet, Split. The Site is still underway, and I'm working on it with any little computer time I can grab. Now that I have a friend with a laptop which has WiFi, and a new flashdrive (8 times bigger than before), I'll have more time to work on it until I can be back on my own PC. I'm still looking for people to do content as well, so feel free to PM me about it. Just don't expect a response within the next day.

Oh, and happy new year! :D

Becuase it has all of my files on it. The bigger it is, the more files I can store in it. This way I can work on it on any computer, not just my home PC.

There's not much to update on. Unfortunately, it is still in the same shape as it was before I left, seing as I've had extremely limited computer access. D; I hope to get more completed soon though, but I'm not exactly back on my computer yet.

Eugine, there's really no need to change the game this forum covers. Just don't go to the GS forums. Also, changing to a game like AW really won't get that many people to join. It might even alienate members we have already.

I still don't see why we shouldn't become a general games site, perhaps even reporting on the Wii, PS3, 360, etc.

Well, maybe it shouldn't only be Max. People from these forums could help out. I'm actually starting to like this idea now... But still, it might be too much of a hassle.

I'm still not giving up hope that Camelot is working on a new Nintendo title for Wii (and one that's not a Mario Sports game). I think it's just a matter of time.

Why don't we just make a totally new forum separate from this one, rather than changing this one completely. If GSS dies, so be it, but we should at least have a general gaming forum to migrate to. Arguing with you guys about games is fun.

Topics are free to branch out from the original concept, to an extent. Would you like to discuss with us what you expect will make you happy this year?

Temples of Syrinx] ...'The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the heart of every Federation city. I have always been awed by them, to think that every single facet of every life is regulated and directed from within! Our books, our music, our work and play are all looked after by the benevolent wisdom of the priests...' We've taken care of everything The words you hear, the songs you sing The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes It's one for all and all for one We work together, common sons Never need to wonder how or why We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx Our great computers fill the hallowed halls We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx All the gifts of life are held within our walls Look around at this world we've made Equality our stock in trade Come and join the Brotherhood of Man Oh, what a nice, contented world Let the banners be unfurled Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx Our great computers fill the hallowed halls We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx All the gifts of life are held within our walls [III. Discovery] '...Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was hidden beneath the cave, I found it. I brushed away the dust of the years, and picked it up, holding it reverently in my hands. I had no idea what it might be, but it was beautiful...' '...I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn the keys to make them sound differently. As I struck the wires with my other hand, I produced my first harmonious sounds and soon my own music! How different it could be from the music of the Temples! I can't wait to tell the priests about it!...' What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it gives forth a sound It's got wires that vibrate and give music What can this thing be that I found? See how it sings like a sad heart And joyously screams out its pain Sounds that build high like a mountain Or notes that fall gently like rain I can't wait to share this new wonder The people will all see its light Let them all make their own music The Priests praise my name on this night [IV. Presentation] '...In the sudden silence as I finished playing, I looked up to a circle of grim, expressionless faces. Father Brown rose to his feet, and his somnolent voice echoed throughout the silent Temple Hall...' '...Instead of the grateful joy that I expected, they were words of quiet rejection! Instead of praise, sullen dismissal. I watched in shock and horror as Father Brown ground my precious instrument to splinters beneath his feet...' I know it's most unusual To come before you so But I've found an ancient miracle I thought that you should know Listen to my music And hear what it can do There's something here as strong as life I know that it will reach you Yes, we know, it's nothing new It's just a waste of time We have no need for ancient ways The world is doing fine Another toy will help destroy The elder race of man Forget about your silly whim It doesn't fit the plan I can't believe you're saying These things just can't be true Our world could use this beauty Just think what we might do Listen to my music And hear what it can do There's something here as strong as life I know that it will reach you Don't annoy us further! We have our work to do Just think about the average What use have they for you? Another toy will help destroy The elder race of man Forget about your silly whim It doesn't fit the Plan! [V. Oracle: The Dream] '...I guess it was a dream, but even now it all seems so vivid to me. Clearly yet I see the beckoning hand of the oracle as he stood at the summit of the staircase...' '...I see still the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities and the pure spirit of man revealed in the lives and works of this world. I was overwhelmed by both wonder and understanding as I saw a completely different way to life, a way that had been crushed by the Federation long ago. I saw now how meaningless life had become with the loss of all these things...' I wandered home though the silent streets And fell into a fitful sleep Escape to realms beyond the night Dream can't you show me the light? I stand atop a spiral stair An oracle confronts me there He leads me on light years away Through astral nights, galactic days I see the works of gifted hands That grace this strange and wondrous land I see the hand of man arise With hungry mind and open eyes They left the planet long ago The elder race still learn and grow Their power grows with purpose strong To claim the home where they belong Home to tear the Temples down... Home to change! [VI. Soliloquy] '...I have not left this cave for days now, it has become my last refuge in my total despair. I have only the music of the waterfall to comfort me now. I can no longer live under the control of the Federation, but there is no other place to go. My last hope is that with my death I may pass into the world of my dream, and know peace at last.' The sleep is still in my eyes The dream is still in my head I heave a sigh and sadly smile And lie a while in bed I wish that it might come to pass Not fade like all my dreams... Just think of what my life might be In a world like I have seen! I don't think I can carry on Carry on this cold and empty life My spirits are low in the depths of despair My lifeblood... ...Spills over... [VII.

Ah, ah, We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore, Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords. On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore. So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins, For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.
