It was kinda good for me, met some nice people etc. Anyways, i spent too much time in front of my computer :$ I have to change it.
It’s been a scary one… sudden realisation as to how green I was ‘bout the workings of the real world, lessons learned that I wish I’d known before! Overall a good year, hopped house a bit (4 flats in 1 year!), now found a great place we’re real happy with 'n landed a job that pays a living wage. Met some new people, others moved on, loved ‘n lost (the whore) ‘n now live the life of the guy from “How not to live your life”.

Few highlights… awesome Strummerville weekend, finding a pub that didn’t id me (!!!) ‘n hours wasted in the Leopard. Looking forward to 2009, here’s hoping it’s more stable that 08!
I don't think you ever re-buddied me when my account was deleted during xf2->xf3. This makes me sad on the inside :(
Parent
Both highs and lows. Moved on my own, started new school and got a nice job. But broke up with my girlfriend (that's both good and bad) and so on. But all in all, a good year. :)
Hmm let's see.

- Didn't get a job (so no money)
- Got beaten up twice
- Best friend hang himself
- Other friends moved out of the town
- Relatives getting serious diseases

I'd say it's pretty shitty year.
on the other hand: it can only get better
Parent
A reply from me negates all that.
Parent
most likely yes
terrible
emo, kill urself, etc
"will 2009 be a better year" is the question I'm asking right now
every year of your life is like that tho dude! ha
Parent
you played EC! wtf
Parent
still depressed? :(
Parent
revival of quake 3, cdc4, cc5, I graduated and worked a little

pretty good year
q3 revival was 07!
Parent
iirc Q3 only had asus cups in 2007, while in 2008 there were 2 eswc masters, eswc finals, gamegune, dreamhack and asus cups. Then again q3 for eswc 08 was announced in december (?) 2007 and that pretty much started the whole thing so I guess you're right
Parent

"The FlyingDJ Memoirs; A contrario"?
nope, was a kinda crappy year for me.

- my grandma had a heartattack and the docs are telling us that she wont do it all long anymore
- my girlfriend tricked me that bitch
- had a carcrash
- didnt get the access to my final exams
- 2many beatups
- crappy new football teacher
mhh mixed feelings but all in all it was a quite good year for me!
Good to see most people are optimistic.
In the end it was a good year, even though people tried to disturb it with not so nice stuff!
Was nice year for me

rl:

- Passed high grade of marketing without problems

- Found a nice company to make practices and they want me to continue working for them

- Can't complaint about girls (no gf though)

- made new good friends, even gaming friends! : P

- After 3 years of trying I got mega mega brown @ Summer

- Best party ever last Friday

gaming:

- Finally found a nice support for gaming ( Button Bashers and bit-gaming )

- 2nd place in cdc4 and cc5 and EC winner (and some other ET / cod4 / ffow / QW awards you can see @ profile)

The worst:

-my grandmother is starting to have alzheimer

-we had to sacrifice my dog
You sacrificed your dog?:o
Parent

Crap year for me , one problem into the other and constant whining

White man pwned 95 % of the black population for several centuries.

Parent

Parent
hm thinking back i guess it was a good one
In real life ye, school goes finally well enough.
I will vote once we step into 2009.
wasn't really good but not that worse then the year before ^^
fucking horrible like always
some good thinks.. some shitty things.. .. overall better than last year i guess
Pretty awesome :D

T In the Park
Finally getting to see Radiohead & Sigur Ros live
London to see stanhope
London again
Went over to belfast to meet all the VPL lads
Too many good night outs to even mention
Passed 2nd year at uni and made it back to 3rd :D
Met so many awesome people and kept in touch with even better older ones
bad sch0olmarkz -.- i´m too silly xD
The first 3/4 of the year was kinda shitty for me, had to do a lot for school (mostly because I did everything the morning I had to hand it in). Friend group falling apart and some problems with my parents.

In general I can say it wasn't one of my best years, but still some good things happened. I got my diploma. Found a job as GSM technician [repairing nokia's n95 (normal/8GB)], not the best job but still something and not far from home. And playing at CC5 was awesome and it was nice to see some of the people you normaly only hear online.
Pretty good year actually
Nothing changed in my life. A bad year :/
had ups and downs, overall quite a dissapointment though. my current mood has big impact on that though, so lets say been shit lately.
Really nice, I think I'm better ETplayer than last year. Can't wait for the scrims @ 2009! FUCK YEAH, ET has turned my life into constant happiness!
Shit like the ones before, apart from about 3 years ago maybe!

Agree with Meez though about the 2009 question
one of the best years i'd say =)
pretty good i guess :o
no health problems for me, nor my family
made my dream come true and made it to design class
muscles growing quite fast
got my driving license
2 of the best moments of my life hapened this year

tho i failed with a girl :XD made me realise how much i love cpu and his sexxeh voice!
This year has been a soft but boring year.
Of course good year, many happy moments.
2009 will be way better.
I was banned, was a good year. ;-]
Broke up twice last year. Everything may turn into better tomorrow, will see :))))
tbh the year has been weird in the sense I can't remember half of what happened in the first 6 months :X
I seem to be treating university years as normal years, so I only really think of september onwards when I hear the question "How was 2008" :X

Trying to think back it's been pretty sweet, I really enjoyedthe second half of my first year at uni and finished it on a high. Had a lazy summer but seem to be getting on with my brother more and more.

Start of second year of uni has been a little slow but outside of the actual work it has been fun.

Started a new job at uni for extra money which is quite fun.

I reckon 2009 will be pretty similar tbh, months seem to roll by far too quick, so either nothing exciting is happening to remember or too much is :X

I wouldn't say it's been a bad year, let's leave it at that.

oh and I've grown my hair to the longest it's ever been in my life which is a big step away from growing it mid length and then going to a grade 5 every so often :P

2009 will be a "how long can I grow it more before it really gets on my nerves"
fuck yeah , i played with Netherlands overboost (L)
Basically what Fusen said. The year has ended on a high, though. Can't wait to get back to university.
Shit year, lost more then I ever expected
Well 2008..

- Jennifer Hudson's mother, aunt and cousin died
- Bernie Mac died
- Woman who sings "Santa baby, now hurry down the chimney toniiiiiight" died
pretty good one if i leave out school.
not, really no
Awesome year:

- I quit gaming
- I went to rock Werchter again
- Got myself a fantastic girlfriend
- Went to tons of party's
- Made new friends
- Going to university
- Had a great summer vacation
- I managed to get some important licenses
- Have never been so happy in my life before :)

Parent
Over irritante dildo's gesproken.
Parent
EM 2008 saved this year!! this year 2008 will allways be in my heart :))
Second half was better than the first for me. Done a few things that will hopefully put me in good stead for a good 2009 - although if i was asked this next year, i would probably say the same so who knows.
I left Enemy Territory for good, so I had a good year :D
Nope. I don't smoke weed so I ain't fucking up my brain. But you in that case.....
I heard otherwise when TriFlip visited you!
For sure. And I only had sex once.
No clue at all
definitely YES, one of the best in my life
So you are... the hair, it's disconcerting ;)
Every year I end healthy and which had some good moments can be called a good one :)
was pretty nice:) I am happy, in love, What i need more?:D
Was a good year apart from the whole recession thing :(
Quite good, one of the better in my life, but definitely not the best.
yea...it was...i met new friends & girls especially !! :o)
It was ok I guess.. Nothing really special :E
No in relation to Et not
BEST YEAR EVAR
i want the option yes/no!!!!!!!!!
