Details plz.

Personally, 2007 was a good year. I got my ass back to school, got a 4.0 my first semester back, I'm in the best physical shape of my life, I've been going out and meeting some people, having fun.

For 2008, keep it up. Obligatory 'get a gf' remark.

Details plz.

the whole bonanza

Meh.

Quote from D3ads

2007 was complete fucking shit, here's hoping 2008 will be better...

Your new years resolution is to make a serious effort to get into the games industry instead of pissing around with decade-old technology. Apply yourself properly and maybe you'll catch up with all these people five years younger than you now enjoying a career in the industry.

I don't care about that law anyway, I want to go. For the experience. Besides, I have nothing else to do.

2007:

Overall it has been a good year. It boosted my self esteem a little when I got a phone out of the blue from Lucas Arts, but I had to turn them down since the job was in Singapore and I was halfway through my education. I've also been so lucky as to join the insurgency team, taking over Steppenworfs maps (did some bugfixing on baghdad and done a lot of work on an unreleased project). We're also getting pretty close to releasing beta 2.0 of PVK2, which will rock your socks off. I'm hoping to get some more 'core talent on the team after this too. It's been a great year on my self-esteem, which is really good.

2008:

I'm finishing school, so I'm going to polish my site and make it more portfolio-friendly and start searching for jobs in and around my area at first. If that fails, then I'm most likely going to spam all of your work places with applications, starting with Grin I'm aiming for something in Scandinavia, but the UK or Spain doesn't sound so bad either.

2007 : Good.

2008 : Possibly better

I now have a mission for 2008, watch the entire 2girls1cup movie.

So you're gonna watch it over and over?

New Batman movie in 2008. Can't wait!

Nah, I've only tried 1 time, and I only came to the first poo. I guess I have a lot to go before I'm done. I won't watch it again unless I'll watch the entire flick. So I have to man myself up, then go for it, and unplug my mouse\keyboard so that I cannot quit.
