The new year is coming...

[-HP-]

eh eh, that's it guys, another year had just passed by...

2007 has been a great year for gaming, and I'd wanna year from you guys, what have you achieved in 2007, and what do you intend to achieve in 2008, and what are your new year resolutions?

on 2007,

Professionaly,

I'm finally working on games! 6 years struggling to get into the industry had just paid off, and I am now part of the most beautiful and joyful industry in this world, gaming industry!

Although It's a small company, making games for NintendoDS is being a great and productive experience.

Personaly,

Well, I have a beautiful girlfriend, I now have a salary to live my life the way I see fit, and I'm feeling happier than ever!

For 2008,

professionaly, I intend to finish this 2 games we are working on, so we can get started on PS3 dev.

Also, on my free times, I wanna make a couple of nice maps for Crysis And UT3.

Personaly, I just wanna continue the way I am, living slowly and happy!

Ok I begin.

Profesionally:

U know, I achieved so much, I got so much new information about making maps and my own work with my maps.. all this helped enormously.. In last time I have not mapped for perhaps 2 months now, but not because I am tired of it but because I do music creating stuff professionally with Fruity loops and REASON. And that requires a lot of time of course.. I do not know mapping is paused now. I only got two serious projects .. Moreover, I do not work for any mod because I did not found any, but the thing is that I have tried to apply to bms (blackmesasource) this year but was never applied. That is it about that.

Personally:

I bought much new, new GPU, soundcard. I am very busy with the uni-work. I got a lot of project there, and I have not learned yet how to use the time LoL.. I want to do everything on the same day but I cannot.

Personally, I have been out with friends ALOT, a lot, being on sum party and had fun. then met some nice girls yo and got into a good relegation with one. heh

what I WILL DO: continue my work with uni and music production and perhaps level design. and try to game less, because honestly I am stuck wittiest gaming and I know u should not play so much. besides that, when u know games like Crysis u cant stop yourself.

[e-freak]

having achieved a good way into my now coming a-level and am putting myself finally together to finish more of the projects i start.

for 2008 - finish a-levels, either start social-year or get an university-place for Digital Media, new gf help me get down the boner lately ^^

2007: gotten way much up par with gaming, started uni.

2008: start of my industry career and finish off my portfolio ...and uh, maybe a gf if i ever get time for one of those

[Psyshokiller]

2007 has been a great year. I learned so many new things and improved my skills. Personally, I think I changed a lot in the way I see things.

2008: start of my industry career and finish off my portfolio ...and uh, maybe a gf if i ever get time for one of those

Same here.

I'm looking foreward to live the way I want and work in the game industry. Hope I can start to do some fitness again.

[skdr]

Great year overall. Nothing special happened but I'm very much looking forward to see what 2008 brings us!

[Steppenwolf]

year started meh. unemployed and sick for months. But it gave me enough time to work on my portfolio.

In summer things started to get better. I was healthy again and Insurgency finaly was released. This gave me the motivation boost to change something in my life towards a more positive direction.

I applied at Grin and got accepted. Now i live in a awesome city and work in a awesome company together with awesome people. It couldn't get much better. A nice gf would make it perfect. To find one is my mission for 2008 i guess.

[hamst3r]

great year, ill remember it forever.. cant wait for 2008.

[dux]

One of my worst years ever. Sure hope 2008 brings something better.

[Sindwiller]

2007: Being an idiot

2008: Stop being an idiot

That's my new year's resolution

[ReNo]

It's been a year of ups and downs for me, professionally. I can't really talk too much about the job side of things but suffice to say things were not good for a significant part of the year. Gladly things worked out well though, and with everything back on track I'm really enjoying it again. I work with a great bunch of folks, in a nice office, earning decent pay, and getting a lot of creative input. Can't really ask for much more than that to be honest!

On a personal note, things have also been up and down. Had a string of short lived relationships, and when it isn't you calling them short it can be a bit of a confidence hit. That said, the fact I've managed to find other ladies to get involved with each time is an improvement on how things were in the past I guess I'm a bit more confident in that area than I used to be. I moved out of my parents house and into a flat with some mates during the autumn, and I'm really enjoying having my own space. Just unfortunate that they are a bunch of skint students and I'm earning decent money, as it typically means I'm the one left paying for half the stuff they can't afford! Shoulda seen it coming really.

Hopes for 2008? Well I'm pretty satisfied with my life just now, but I guess I'd like to start going out a bit more and meeting more people. Particularly attractive young ladies

2007:

professionally: nothing at all. given up is the most noticeable thing.

school: finished with "basic" education, onto maybe uni or something in a while.

personal: got a lovely girlfriend

2008:

personal:

go to the army

drink more

travel

(I have no professional\school plans for 2008)

[Thrik]

Isn't the Army kind of the last stop for a man with no other talents or desires in life? I mean, signing up to be killed seems like it.

[st0lve]

well, it's conscript duty, 1 year. mandatory if they first want you.

just like Sweden and such. I won't be going anywhere out of Norway, maybe just Sweden and Finland for booze.

[Thrik]

Oh.

Horrible law.
