I Called It.

[Xhumed]

Call: Ultrajoe's friends will lose patience with him, tie him to a chair and make him watch every episode (including xmas specials) of the new series.

GD, this was too tempting...Now I have to write up stuff. (I just look at forums every so often, never post).

I call on the next to die (in the following order) this year:
Fictional:
Rose Tyler (But that's just stating the obvious, now, isn't it?)
Real-Life:
Amy Winehouse (and her death will be the stuff of legends)
David Bowie
Not Osama, but his number 2, Al-Zawahri (he's old)

I call the Aspies and HFAs uniting and forming the next civil rights movement.

I call Metallica's new album still sucking, but a VAST improvement over the past 12-15 years. (I hate Bob Rock)

Now onto gaming...
I call Monolith Soft and Mistwalker developing Chrono Break and release it via Namco or Nintendo.
I call the Lunar series dead.
I call Tony Hawk ending his endorsement of Activision's skating series and joining EA.
I call the next "Meet the..." in the series will be Spy, and the next set of Acheivements will be Demoman.
I call Duke Nukem Forever being released as a Flash game. Out of spite.
I call GameFAQs eventually imploding and becoming just a blase GS site.
I call Multiwinia being a dark horse success story this year.
I call Apple never getting involved in gaming. Again.
I call Crytek declaring bankruptcy in the next 3-5 years.
I call DC vs. MK being as ridiculously bad as the current "Batman, RIP" arc, which equals Marvel's "One More Day" and follow-up.
I call someone attempting to make a Doctor Who game. And failing miserably.
I call the Canadian packs for Guitar Hero or Rock Band having shitty latter-day Our Lady Peace tracks, some Tragically Hip, and maybe Rush. No Matt Good or even Arcade Fire.
I call single-player becoming increasingly non-existent as an anti-piracy measure.
I call FFXIV not being released till after the next gen consoles are out. Meanwhile, Tetsuya Nomura will be outed, and will reveal his boyfriend...to be a near-twin of him.
I call Gabe and Tycho relishing their power and influence too much (prolly after Rainslick Ep. 3) and begin their fall from grace. (On a related note, I call Dom Nguyen getting his head bashed in, and Fred getting a competent editor who will make sure he keeps a somewhat regular schedule at MegaTokyo)

Is that good?

I predict that Barac Obama will be assasinated by a white supremasist if put into office, and the assasin will not be caught, but it will come forward and then be killed himself, causeing a massive uprising in both white and black areas of America casueing a Civil War.

I am a Pessamist.
and i can't spell.

I call: That if Hillary is the Vice President, she will have him killed. And Barac may not want her as a running mate, but the party will force it on him. He may have the popular vote, but he does not have the favor of his party.

 

[TommyGun465]

I call: Prototipe will be delayed 4 times before its release

I call: The next Xbox will be called "Xbox 720"

I call: All forward installements of the PSP will be useless and unnecessary

I call: Bill Gates will be assassinated by PS3 fanboys in 2010

I call: PS4 will be awesome

 

[Erana]

I did call a werewolf Link... >.>

I call: Locke being swallowed by the smoke monster and becoming one with the Island.

 

[MarkusAurelius77]

I call: Bill Gates is revealed as the Anti-Christ.

I call: Hilary is actually the worst thing that will ever happen to USA foreign policy. (I'm English btw)

I call: That the 2012 Olympics will be a great spectacle, but the UK won't win any significant medals.

I call: Rising fuel prices in UK plus tax increases will result in outright rebellion soon.

I call: Zombie apocalypse is coming

 

[SargentToughie]

I call that too human will be loved by critics, but will sell poorly (I'm gonna buy it)

I call that Portal 2 will be nowhere near as good as the first, but people will still love it, because it's Freakin' portal

 

[Lazzi]

I call taht soem oen will post after me

I also call that if the world does not end on cemeber 28, 2012 the FF sereis will coutniue until they have to use exponents in there titles

I call that the greatist gamign system will will be called the Infinity and will come in the shape of a mobious strip

 

[Ultrajoe]

I call That CAD will do a comic taking the piss out of Yahtzee

I call that the evolving fan war will wipe the planet out in 2012.

 

[JDLY]

I call: PS4 will be awesome

That's to easy. How about: PS4 will cost $800+ on release day (although that's way to easy also)

I also call that if the world does not end on cemeber 28, 2012 the...

It's supposed to end December 21st, 2012. (P.S. You spelled December wrong)

My Call: I will never buy any version of an Xbox system.

 

[666thHeretic]

Call: Princess Peach and Princess Daisy are secretly lesbians, hench why they never put out to any male character

I wouldn't mind.

Not in the fucking least.

I also call that no mtter how much any given celebrity remains exactly the same (Jack Black, for example) they will randomly lose fans that are made at them for selling out, and randomly gain new fans who "love the new [movies/books/games], but hate the old ones".

(EDIT) This applies double, triple, quadruple, and quintuple to video games, especially long running series like Final Fantasy, series that broke ground like Diablo, and series that started with an overwhelmingly popular game, like Portal. I also call that every sequel to every popular game will be met with a unified front of either scorn or disappointment, no matter what the developers do, with people claiming that the developers "lost sight of what made the first popular". For example, no matter what Portal 2 is like, half of us will hate it because they remember the first as being better. The other half will focus on the new features, overlooking the (possible) drop in humour in favour of more puzzles and greater variety. I also call that Portal 2 will either be vastly superior to the original in every way, or basically the same thing with new dialogue, new puzzles, and maybe multiplayer. Which is win-win, really.

dyslexcia is a absolute ***** especialy when english isnt your first languag

My Call: I will never buy any version of an Xbox system.

 

[JDLY]

Sorry.
Didn't know.

 

[ReepNeep]

Project Origin is going to suck just like the other expansions. They just don't freaking learn

I call that you have no idea what you're talking about. That one is sadly self-evident because Monolith didn't make the FEAR expansions. Also, Origin isn't an expansion, it's a sequel.

 

[Ultrajoe]

Call: All my friends will scoff at me as i fail to watch or even remember to watch yet another series of Dr Who... i just never bothered to watch it enough to get into it... much to the annoyance of all of my chums.

Your points are valid, and i am forced to admit relic might rub its atrophied balls in my face yet again.

I weep, i weep eternally...

Here Is My Picture.


There, Do You See It? It's Great, I Don't Know If Your Browser Can See It Though.

Looks up from polishing stuff.

"OH, THIS CAN'T END POORLY, IM SO IN"

Im off for tonight, dont start without me.

Aha, this will serve nicely as a staging area!

 

[Joe Lobo]

i'm calling that Nintendo will release another game system that everyone will underestimate but will end up on top.
