MERRY TEMPMAS EVERYONE!
It's that time of the year again!

We are excited to begin our 2016 tempmas competition! This year we've got an amazing prize for you: a brand new Nintendo Switch console up for grabs! Of course we haven't got our hands on a console yet so it'll actually be a preorder, but still!

So what will you have to do to enter this year? The theme is wide and leaves a lot of room for imagination: Create a short Tempmas-themed video (up to 1 minute long)

Now please carefully read the rules below if you wish to enter:
Who can enter: any registered GBAtemp user, new or old. One entry per user. No geographical restrictions.
Enter before: the 31st at 12PM (noon) UTC
Video format restrictions: video must be up to 1 minute long. Shorter is OK. Longer will be rejected. How to enter: upload your video to YouTube, DailyMotion or Filetrip and post the link in this thread.
Content restrictions: no nudity, violence, pornography, anything illegal, or against regular forum rules.

There will be a public vote (only open to certain member groups though! if you register now just to vote it's already too). Make sure to log on to GBAtemp on the first week of January to cast your vote.

Now, use your imagination to come up with something that will put a smile on everyone's face! The video can be digitally edited, created from scratch on a computer, or simply recorded with a camera (ie. record yourself singing a Tempmas song... record yourself baking a Tempmas cake... etc.).

Have fun making your video and have a very merry Tempmas!
The GBAtemp Team

I do not like saturn
By the way, 1 minute is too short

Oh shit really i forgot N64, maybe it lost during my renders/photoshop/illustrator work

But I mean the thread's open. I'm gonna make a last minute edit and update my post. I hope it'll still be valid. If not I guess using my original thing which I did post in time would be cool.

Only 6 1/2 hours late

Kidding aside, I loved your entry - and even if it doesn't get accepted with the sound, it deserves to have sound added. The sound effects will really make it come alive.

If I were to make a video, it would be from Fire Emblem Fates, and Aqua singing the second part of Lost in Thoughts, lol, based on the 3DS cutscenes


Embrace the dark (holds up the GBATemp logo and Tempstyle Dark)

You call a home (clicks on bookmark tab)

Gaze upon an empty white throne (DMCA letters stacking up from Nintendo)

A legacy of lies (KERNAL27HAX GUISE)

A familiar disguise (random usernames and avatars)

Sing with me a song of conquest and fate (3DS destined to be hacked)

The black pillar cracks beneath its weight (Nintendo's own security causing arm9loaderhax to exist)

Night breaks through the day (After all this time hacking becomes widespread)

Hard as a stone (unpatchable)

Lost in thoughts all alone

Now just think of that in video form with Aqua's amazing dancing lmao

Meant to be more of a comedy than anything haha

And then Garon's increasing groans of discomfort would be Nintendo

EDIT: would be from this video

The second/fourth clip btw

Since Tempmas time is but once a year, I felt like an Octo Ice Badger's adventures would be perfect for such an occasion.
Merry tempmas, y'all!

I love seeing everyone animated, I got my own scene with @DinohScene !
