Your Bests of 2011

Jars

not really(I've played etrian odyssey, I know). the combat is set up so you can't just spam attack though.

Garlic Bread

my favorite two albums this year are Britney Spears - Femme Fatale and Blink-182 - Neighborhoods

Staleghoti

I also learned about the Rural Alberta Advantage and Dan Mangan this year

two great Canadian indie folk rock bands

spono

Drive is so goddamn good you guys

I'm sure I am forgetting some other movies, but 50/50, Bridesmaids, Fast Five and Hanna were also great

still need to see Real Steel

Staleghoti

oh also The Weeknd

holy shit the Weeknd was a great success story this year

Let's see. In 2011:

I got engaged.

I expanded my job by a lot, including shipping one game and three DLCs as a Designer, rather than as QA.

I started going to the gym on a regular basis, and have learned how to tell myself 'suck it up' on days where I feel like I don't want to go.

I became a rather more proficient cook, expanding my horizons quite a bit and successfully creating some rather difficult recipes.

I started writing on a regular basis again.

I went to the New York Comic Convention and got to be a panelist!

Uhh, as for best of 2011 in regards to media:

Best Game : Skyrim. Even though I stopped playing for a while, it really does so many things so very well. Runner-up: Call of Pripyat. IT WILL ALWAYS BE MY RUNNER UP.

Best TV Show: Community. Remedial Chaos Theory was incredible.

Best Movie: I don't know, actually. I haven't seen a lot of movies this year.

Brolo

wait, was CoP this year?

Garlic Bread

Call of Priapus is every day for me

No, but I play it so much every year that it is forever my runner up.

After Dark Souls, my top 5 games list goes:

Skyrim
Bastion
Radiant Historia
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective

It was a pretty good showing for excellent DS games this year.

Calamity Jane

drive for movie

assassin's creed revelations for game

television of the year doesn't go to breaking bad but goes to the return of beavis and butthead

it is fucking creepy because it is like they never left

Oh yeah, Ghost Trick was great! I am so glad @Moriveth managed to find me a copy.
