Resurrection!

I remembered about this place when Deezer suggested the song "Shining Forever". I was disappointed to learn it's something to do with wrestling.

Was the internet always that slow?

Good point: there are often earthquakes in the Shining Force universe.

Congratulations Dev!

I read, so I must respond.

I checked my profile and saw I joined here in March 2004, nearly 10 years ago. I wonder if I'll be popping back in another 10 years' time to see what's changed? [Edit] In fact, it strikes me that it's 10 years since we moved across to PHPBB (right?) so I've actually been a member even longer.

Here's to you, Blah!

Awesome.

Blah, here's to you. Past, present, and future of all my endeavours.

As it happened I didn't get to explore the city at all - the closest I got was walking around Schiphol Airport looking for my departure gate (that airport is huge!)

Holland sure looks beautiful from the air, though. Kudos on that!

And it only felt right to tell Ye Olde Blah, Home of the Dutchies.

I will be in Amsterdam for one night only on January 19th as I am attending a mysterious event there. I'll have a few hours of leisure time in the morning so let me know what good sights I should see!

haha, I like that idea. A Shining Force fangame community fangame? The madness!

What sorts of videos would you want? I have no SF-like equipment in real life so I'd have to improvise...

And of course let me know if you need any music doing

Only a four-year old Drew Barrymore in a Steven Spielberg movie could justify such facial animosity.

What would justify the use of smelly pink socks?

Hey Sean, welcome back! This is also my first time back on Blah in a while but it's good to see us all using it to keep in touch

Unlike everyone else I'm still living where I was when we last spoke I'm married now and working as a games journalist for a few sites as well as in a games shop. Life's pretty good at the moment, busy but good.

I look forward to walking into a book shop and buying your masterpiece sometime in the near future!

It's moments like that make me proud to be a member of this family. Good work.

I haven't got very drunk lately, but I did have a bit too much wine and play SingStar Dance with Hannah. The catastrophic (and painful) results are available to view online as a warning to future generations.

Shining Online will NEVER DIE.
