In no particular order:

- Gay marriage legalized in the United States and Ireland
- Mets won the pennant (!)
- Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Splatoon, innumerable Smash updates, NX announcement

Put it this way, now that they've actually got a real-life working quantum logic gate at least they have a potential timeline for when it's going to enter everyday use.

Edit yes I realize how technobabble-y this sounds.

Let's see

- The Royals actually won the World Series
- Ferro still hasn't payed me the 150 points that we each agreed upon on the outcome of the World Series.
- Donald Trump decided to run for president for next year, and has made an *** of himself.

...Anyway, can we appreciate how many good new games were released this year?

Fallout 4
Call of Duty Black Ops III
Super Mario Maker
Halo 5: Guardians
Majora's Mask 3DS
Bloodborne
Metal Gear Solid V
Grand Theft Auto V (PC)
Batman: Arkham Knight
Star Wars: Battlefront
Splatoon
Witcher 3
Yoshi's Wooly World
Yokai Watch
Undertale
Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon
Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
Fire Emblem Fates (in Japan lol)

I'm sure there are a bunch I'm forgetting that have been huge that I've personally played even, but this has definitely been a fantastic year for gaming (inb4 "MGSV was not a good game").

let's see....

- I graduated high school with the second best grades at graduation exams in my school cuz I'm awesome
- I fell in love
- I was forced to fall out of love
- I got diagnosed with epilepsy
- I'm still super gay (except not really)
- I refused to do mandatory military service that actually isn't mandatory at all
- I started the alternative civil service at a retirement home
- I got declared unfit for military service due to epilepsy and therefore couldn't continue working at the retirement home
- I'm now legally banned from owning a firearm for two separate reasons
- I'm still a lonely virgin with no hope in life
- I sat around doing absolutely nothing for most of the year actually
- I played through Pokémon Platinum for the 2854234234th time
- I'm trying to prepare for university but I kinda can't
- I got super frustrated at state election results in September
- Dragonite forgot to mention that Luxembourg and the Pitcairn Islands also legalized same-*** marriage this year, but who cares about Luxembourg. And the Pitcairn Islands only have like 30 people on them anyway.
- Gay marriage STILL ISN'T LEGAL IN AUSTRIA GODDAMNIT but hey lesbians can get artificial insemination now and gay couples can adopt so that's nice
- Star Wars was apparently a thing but tbh I don't care about that
- This list is getting too long, no one is gonna want to read this
- Life is... weird

Well, this was a strange year for us in general:

-Some of us mods started a podcast by the name of the "Squirtle Squadcast"

-Some of the mods within the Squadcast group started to produce "Let's Play" content on the channel

-superskarmory.net merged with Pokecheats (after being offline for like three months)

-I managed to complete two full sets of Comic Shenanigans this year

-I finished the first Let's Play series on the Squadcast Channel

-We went full Eyan and forgot to update the channel following the completion of the Minecraft Let's Play (never go full Eyan)

The Squadcast definitely dropped the ball in terms of uploads, but worry not, we are working on content (or at least, I'm currently planning something)
