Forsaken Memory Needs Your Help!
Forsaken Memory as you may know is not signed to a label yet and so we don't really get the promotion that we need. But we don't have to, we have something far greater then any MTV music video or Front Page article in Metal Hammer! We have you! The Fans! Word of mouth is the most powerful promotion tool that there ever was and ever will be! So we ask that you lend us a hand in getting the word out on the street about us in your local area.

Nothing fancy we don't want you to start a cultural movement in our name, or start approaching random strangers on the street. All we ask is that maybe you show a friend to our site or some one you know that you think might like our music by sending them a link over MSN, pasting it on your myspace or any other ingenious way you can think of to spread the word about us etc.

The Fans Of Forsaken Memory are our life Blood! Without you there would be no point to any of this!

All Your Base
"21st Jan 2007"
All Your Base Are Belong To Us!
In A.D. 2101
War was beginning.
What happen?
Somebody set up us the bomb.
We get signal.
What !
Main screen turn on.
It's You !!
How are you gentlemen !!
All your base are belong to us.
You are on the way to destruction.
What you say !!
You have no chance to survive make your time.
HA HA HA HA ....
Take off every 'zig' !!
You know what you doing.
Move 'zig'.
For great justice.

If you haven't come across this before you probably think I'm mad! but ever since i found the "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" phenomenon I've been hooked... Not like i would be hooked to a crack pipe, but hooked with a sence of mild humour anyway.

This is easier to explain if i just tell you what the Wikipedia website has to say about 'All Your Base':

Origin of All Your Base
The text is taken from the opening cut scene of the English version of the 1989 Japanese video game Zero Wing by Toaplan. The phrase first made its appearance on the Internet in 1998 when an animated GIF of the opening scene to the game was posted. While the translation was generally poor, this phrase stood out as particularly humorous.

The phrase slowly began to circulate over many webforums, and by mid-to-late 2000 many images were digitally altered so that the phrase was added in, either obviously or discreetly, especially after the Something Awful Forums got involved. Some of these images were compiled with those created and posted to a forum thread on TribalWar.com by their members.

In 2000, Jared and Canadian Gabber group The Laziest Men on Mars created the song "Invasion of the Gabber Robots" using samples from the game theme by Tatsuya Uemura (including a robotic voice synthesis rendition of the complete cut-scene dialogue, which caused MP3.com to temporarily remove the track from their servers for perceived copyright violation).

The well-known quotations were taken from the European localization of the Sega Mega Drive port released in 1992. The arcade version of Zero Wing does not include the quotation, though it does include an equally butchered ending; the intro for the PC Engine version has CD-quality spoken dialogue but has a completely different introduction. Zero Wing was never released in North America and therefore never came to the Sega Genesis, the North American version of the Mega Drive.

The quotation demonstrated the Internet's power to spread idiosyncratic messages rapidly that would never have been covered by the traditional mass media. Although the fad has subsided, the phrase remains one of the most quoted examples of "Engrish." The phrase is also often used as a battle cry on many competitive video games, particularly those played over the Internet.

Guild Wars has even made it a skill for the warrior class, where the character shouts "For Great Justice!" (a reference to another line from the Zero Wing intro, "Move zig. For great justice.") to improve his fighting abilities. In Guild Wars: Nightfall, there is a skill called "Make Your Time!" (a quotation of the line "You have no chance to survive make your time" from the Zero Wing introduction).

AYB is often cited as an example of a meme—a self-propagating thought, idea, or message—because of its broad, rapid spread across the Internet and around the world. It has also been recognized as a snowclone, wherein a familiar phrase is modified by substituting new words into the phrase (for example, "All your bug are belong to me" as used on Wikipedia's MediaZilla main page).

Newgrounds' Flash portal spawned many variants of the Flash animation with a wide range of content, creativity, and quality.

A complete revamp of the forsaken memory site
Forsaken Memory decided to completely rethink the website. The new site is now much slicker, has more features and not to mention it will now be a lot easier to maintain and update with some radical rethinking of the design structure.

There's not much point in going into the boring babble of html code design, but the new site now allows you to surf the site without disrupting things like the mp3 flash player and has much quick loading times with a much more user friendly layout. Hope you enjoy "The New Look"
