2012 Moments of EoFF

I was introduced to Dark Souls this year as a result of the thread in General Gaming. One of the best games ever made, and one that I would have completely ignored if not for the people talking about it in that thread.

I also won the FFV Olympics Event, after over an hour's Paint work. Thoroughly enjoyed matching each character from the game to a suitable character from the film, as well as thinking up all the different Jobs and their effects. It was great fun, and being praised by Paul made me tingle in the most shameful manner.

I started my first ever Let's Play at the end of 2012, and though I went hiatus over Christmas, I will be back on track in a day or two. I've already thought up some awful and distasteful jokes. Speaking of Let's Plays, I made Laddy do a Baldur's Gate LP and took the part of main character. Sir Quin may be useless in battle, but he's hardy as a mothersmurfer. :love: I'm hoping Laddy will keep updating it for THE REST OF TIME (or at least until he finishes the game!).

Actually you know what - the highlight of my short 3 month tenure here is:

- Getting disqualified from the Best Newbie category in the Ciddies due to having a 7 year old account with about 20 posts on it
- Subsequently getting added to the Best Veteran category
- Starting up the anti-establishment movement called "Ciddies? Mo liek bunch o Kiddies!" to make a stand against such popularity contests, it only has 1 member right now but DAMNIT WE'RE STANDING STRONG! *fist slams table* I am the Danny Boyle to your OBE

Aww, I forgot my birthday thread. rantzbootay.jpg and Bubba singing to me were both pretty awesome :love:

same trout different year :p

almost winning a ciddie was like the highlight of my year

And that was very cool.

For me, I would say getting as far as I did in the Cid's Knight contest. I also had tons of fun in both Ciddies in 2012. All around, I am happy that I reconnected with the place. I know I am doing something right when Del Murder kept complimenting me here and there! Oh, and the livestreaming I have done for several video games, including the FFIV one that I WILL CONTINUE very shortly. The Holidays were messing my schedule up, and now that they are over, I will be back in my usual rut able to have some free time for that.

2012 was definitely a good year. Some EoFF highlights for me:

-Fun forum events, such as the Ciddies, CK competition, and FF Ciddies (includes making fun of as many members as possible with my Ciddies speeches).
-Getting more involved with the frontsite and writing dozens of articles.
-Winning a poster.
-All of the Let's Play threads (Oregon Trail, Baldur's Gate, the FFV parody, etc.).

Hmm, it's hard to think of anything before my trip >_<

-having WildRaubtier show up to one of my band's shows unexpectedly, then getting too drunk and being kicked out by the bouncers
-going to the movies with Jiro and drinking gross Queensland beer with him.
-going on my trip and meeting so many amazing members; iPod shuffle road trips with Shorty, Thanksgiving with Jentleness, Hawaiian Shave Ice and Beaches with Kalilung and Madonna (lol jks, mike wouldn't come), Celtics game with Bert.
-my first EoY thread (barely any comments but still fun to fill out)
-making fun of Shorty and Denmarks gross sing alongs in #eoff
-planning Britstralia 2013 with Lockharted
-not entering the CK comp or reading the thread/s about it.

I remember winning Best Poster, cuz that's how this bitch rolls.

I remember falling in love with Shorty.

The drugs and alcohol have destroyed all other memories.

-Thanks to Psychotic and DK I discovered that Iceglow fell in a pile of crap. This was a defining moment.
-I received the poster in the mail that Shlup touched. So we have indirectly touched each other. Hawt.

It's been pretty much pure good.

-The CK competition was mad fun
-Pond Life
-FF5 Revisited! was twice as much fun for me as it was for anyone else
-Lynx's reaction to Operation: Wanker
-The Triple Triad Tournament
-Mafia -- I was expecting it to be a pale imitation of GHF's Kira game, but wound up enjoying it immensely in spite of sucking at it and it convinced me to register at mafiascum.net, which has been a source of ceaseless enjoyment
-WILTY?
-Some of the speeches I wrote for the reg Ciddies were fun
-The madness at the end of the FF Ciddies

A personal Favorite was watching Shad's babes get eliminated, one of which in the first round of the Babe Tournament.

The little things like that keep me going in life.

- Returning here after a ~7 year absence for that poster giveaway. XD
- Getting to know you EoFFers through the forum, Skype, and IRC.
- My Ciddie nominations. Didn't expect to get any of those.
- The FF 25th Anniversary Ciddies. That was fun to read. :3
- Doing the Secret [strike]Santa[/strike] Satans

All in all, I didn't expect to stay and enjoy talking to most of you. Hurray for me staying at a forum for more than a month! And not lurking!

uh...discovering and joining EoFF?

Forgot to mention all the Tidus pictures in the Ciddies revelation thread. So friggin' funny.
