2016 has been a subpar year tbh (2015 of all years was better imo). I've definitely spent most of it lamenting instead of enjoying what should've been at least a half decent year. However, just so we don't constantly think about how bad this year was, I have an idea for a game we can play: in a post on this social thread, make a list of pros and cons that you've had for this year (nothing too personal, though) and if need be make a list of things that you're looking forward to in 2017. I'll go first:
+ TONS of awesome Smash tournaments such as CEO 2016, GOML 2016, Smash Con, Pound VI, and the Midwest Circuit.
- EVO 2016 shenanigans (at least for Smash 4).
- Cinema was pretty lousy, featuring some of the worst films ever (Norm of the North, Batman V Superman, etc.) and the exceptions barely went higher than "good" (except for Zootopia).
+ Got to go to my first tournament and finally got introduced to some of the top players in Indiana.
- Presidential shenanigans. Nuff said.....
+ Checked out a church that my friends from school go to.
+ Went to a CDYC event for said church.
+ I got to be pit section leader for this season.
- .....but I had to put up with this one noobie that randomly felt like containing a bottom tier attitude.
- There was also this one freshman in the sousaphone section who always acts like SUCH a big baby. But despite him being in a completely different section, I had to put up with his crap more than anyone.
+ Despite this, I don't think I've ever been closer to any of my senior/band friends than this year.
+For ONCE I'm having a half decent year in high school.
- I........got stuck with........the worst........in school internship..........EVAR!
+ My out of school internship, however, is actually really fun, and I get to go back next semester)
+ Got a better understanding of who I am (for one thing I learned that I'm ambidextrous).
+ I finally learned how to stop being an overly emotional little b**** around here :/
- I blacked out at school once and I STILL can never hear the end of it.
- There weren't a whole lot of particularly great games released this year (or at least I didn't play any games beyond the point of "good").
+ Hung out in DIDNEY WORLD! (Band trip).
- But it was cut short because some people randomly felt like complaining because they apparently were not having a good time there (which I don't even know how that's possible).
Now for what I'm looking forward to in 2017:
- Graduating high school and moving on to college.
- Sonic Mania
- Sonic 2017
- Marvel vs Capcom Infinite
- Final Fantasy Dissidia PS4
- Tales of Berseria
- Ability to go to more Smash tournaments.
- Ability to go to Marvel tournaments.
Who wants to go next?
