I haven't really had a big year gaming wise - just more of a casual gamer now with my 3ds due to the pressures of working full time and stuff.

Highlight for me was landing my graduate opportunity, I mean when it happened after so much rejection, it was re-assuring that I am employable and I atleast now have the experience to take with me in 2016 that I can do it and I can do it again.

Going to Vegas was a highlight too, obviously.

And yeah, moving out from my family home and into our house (even if its shared) in Manchester was a real delight, finally own freedom!

And the addition of my beautiful baby cat, Cobi, to the family too~

Highlights... Well uh... Ff12? Ff type-0? I guess. Not much happened that i cant forget. Well. I got into college thats cool. Well yes. The only other thing isbnt good. And i dont wanna speak of that right now. Well i hope o hope 2016 is not bad and is good. Thatd be great.

My 100th Review being Final Fantasy VI.

Adapting my reviews into video format and having more success than I could have expected just starting out.

Oh yeah, and cutting pop and chips out of my diet leading to a much healthier me.

[Freya]

1. I lost 20lbs! Woo! Gained 8 of it back but i'm back on track, we're all good.
2. Got my first credit card... then another one. Woo! (I bought a car and a house before I ever got a credit card haha I think I did that backwards.)
3. I finally got a good PC. A whole world of gaming has opened up to me that I was having to let pass me by. So that's exciting.
4. My car insurance went down! (Anyone who has to pay a lot in car insurance for no damn reasons knows how exciting this is)
5. Had a lovely trip across Texas.

Not too many exciting things happened this year. I guess I need to make next year more exciting!

2015 has been an up & down year for me.

My building got refurbished, which was a hassle & @ times is still a hassle (things not done right). But overall the apartment is nicer & the heating/air system is better.

I got a cool new laptop, but had to get it replaced the next day (damaged video card). Two weeks later the replacement had to be sent in for a new screen, as a line popped up. Now it runs beautifully.

I upgraded my internet & couldn't get wifi. After a week of nobody knowing what to do & replacing two new routers, I downgraded my internet and it magically worked again. Unfortunately I changed the router before this & don't have the nice one I originally had.

Super Mario Maker came out, which I love when I get a chance to play it.

Considering 2015 was one of the toughest years of my life, there were actually some amazing highlights.

- My son was born in August and he is the best baby we could possibly hope for.
- MissH and I bought a house in March in a nice area of Cheshire and it already feels like home.
- Fourth trip to Dubai in April with MissH was just perfect.
- Flew there in business class and I was a complete and total liability.
- Won Best Member at the 2015 winter Ciddies. You guys are awesome.

I feel like you're forgetting something. An evening in May, perhaps.

Haha, oh yeah!

Man Utd Player of the Year awards. Juan Mata a worthy winner of the goal of the season for his strike at Anfield!

[Fynn]

Not in chronological order

1. Successfully finished therapy, thereby closing one of the darkest moments of my life so far
2. Became even closer to my EoFF friends
3. Graduated - almost. Finished the first draft of my thesis. I'm on the last leg of this journey.
4. Got a full time job that is not only well-paying, but uses my greatest assets, which is my writing skills and my native-like English proficiency
5. Finally experienced the Dragon Quest series
6. Started writing for the site, hopefully expanding my horizons for the future, maybe opening the door to video game journalism.
7. Tried a variety of new genres in writing. Some attempts went better than others, but it was overall an enriching experience.
8. Finally beat FFXIII and experienced that trainwreck on my own in all its glory.
9. Won the Best Writer Ciddie for the first time in summer, and then lost it in winter, which was humbling. But I got the Happiest Member Ciddie instead, which really goes to show how well the therapy worked. I'm also now officially the most hyped person for FFXV on EoFF
10. Discovered Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Hands down one of the most perfect anime out there.
11.My wife. I really can't explain this. It defies all logic. But year after year, I feel like I love her more and more. She makes me so happy and helps me get through so much. Whenever we go on walks, it kind of still feels like we're stills teenagers. I can't believe it will be our third wedding anniversary in 2016 already. It seems like it was yesterday, but at the same time, the world seems to have not existed before we got together. There is not a day that I don't thank God for giving me the gift of life and for letting it become intertwined with hers. I truly am the happiest man alive right now.

This is lovely! Many happy returns to you both

Seriously though, meeting the utterly charming Psychotic for steak and drinks back in May was definitely a highlight. Apologies dear boy for not including that in my original list!

[Fynn]

Oh, there was one more!

12. Actually managed to grow some decent facial hair, which I always thought was impossible

[Psychotic]

Haha, oh yeah!

Man Utd Player of the Year awards. Juan Mata a worthy winner of the goal of the season for his strike at Anfield!

Never mind Juan, just what is the Mata with you?
