I got Mortal Kombat, got accepted into Early College, and passed all my classes (except one that I don't have the final for 'til tomorrow). I started volunteering at a monkey sanctuary near my house, which is pretty cool and I got a car and a debit card. So this was a pretty good year for me; finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.

Getting my full driver's license and becoming a staff member here are about the only good things.

graduating, becoming an honors student, getting a job, platinum in Arkham City, yadda yadda

Most important thing I did was sticking to my New Years Resolution! 365 days and not a single day passed where I didn't brush my teeth twice.

Got my license.

Finished my first college year with only one failed subject (win).

Got 2 PS3 games for free (Infamous and Wipeout HD) lol, and won Killzone 3 as a tournament prize for getting in third place at Mortal Kombat.

Bought a 40'' Samsung Smart TV today (I like 120Hz refresh rate).

Well... Being a shadow priest on here was kinda a cool highlight.

Me turning 21 and Friday I get to experience what Gameworks is like after nine.

And... Well, that's about it. It was a quiet year up until my birthday.

Getting accepted to the Univeristy of Michigan

Turning 21.

Reconnecting with old high school friends.

Got my first job though I had to quit because of distance from home and not making any money.


Did my first public speaking engagement and didn't suck lol.
Got to be a Shadow Priest, which was cool.

Asked a guy out which people will be like "lol big deal", but I've never actually asked anybody out on a date in a serious business sort of way.

And the lamest of all, actually being good at a fighting game lolol.

First off, great thread. Always. I'll get you when you make a bad thread, ey?

Also, nice one Bezou. Or... ZenObE or whatever the hell.

Um... Not a lot of good things happened this year... Yeah, that's bullshit, I'm just a glass half empty douche.

Finally found an art school and am working on an audition

My Stepdad proposed to my mom... Not too excited about that, but hey, still belongs on the list. It's a highlight.

Avoided my feelings for someone succesfully (Yes!)

Discovered J-spit's awesome song, "Yes!"

Didn't grow this year (just like last year)... And oh how I enjoy being short.

I denied three girls, all interested in going out with me

Didn't spill my drink (Yes!)

Geeked the fuck out after playing MK

Wrote music (Yes!)

My baby sister was born (should be at the top of the list...)

Finally reached the foretold number of children (8) that my great grandpa predicted would come out of my mom


I think that might be it...

The biggest thing for me this year was graduating at university, it happened 4 days before my birthday as well, so that made it extra sweet.

I bought my PS3 this year as well (and MK).

I guess being unemployed for 9 months qualifies as a highlight too lol. I just want some decent rest after 8 years of elementary school, 4 years of high school and 6 years of university with no pauses in between. Plus, I do have some money saved so that helps me dealing with the feeling of guilt for not trying too hard to get a job. :p

Sony's Welcome Back program after the hacking incident, right? I got the exact same two games bro! I hardly touched Wipeout HD Fury though. Finished Infamous as a hero on easy though lol, but I didn't collect all the blast shards, too much of a pain. :p

LOL @ Bezo! smile

Mortal Kombat thingys:
*Mortal Kombat won the world's best fighting game awards
*Human Smoke, my favorite form, made finally in as a complete 3D fighter and I think my long-term efforts of his campaign in forums finally bore fruit.
*Mortal Kombat is up and running!
National thingys:
*Finland won the world championship of ice hockey (woot!)
*Finland won the European boxing championship (disputable)
*Finland will have an amazing president next year (predicted)
The most important is probably the same as with ZenOboe:
*ZenOboe is still Bezo from the block
*Still alive (time to celebrate)

Definitely an accomplishment. There's no sense at all in committing a suicide (with all due respect to the dead). Definitely an accomplishment.

Infamous is amazing for sure, I'm only about 50% done with the hero portion, I feel guilty doing bad things in this game, so I don't know if I'm going to replay it for the dark side, but I'd like to know what happens.


As for the suicide thing, not doing it is an accomplishment

Oh and also being alive is such a great accomplishment because of its simplicity, life is grand indeed.

lol @ all the Infamous stuff! tongue

As for Wipeout HD, I'm having difficulties with the menus as I still have an SD TV, so some of the fonts are a real pain to read as they appear too small.


I wonder if Mr. Espio is gonna collect all the blast shards... Nephrite says...


Spoilers: (Highlight to reveal)
NO! Muahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! >D
