Best moment... That's tough. So many fun times.

Most recently the answer would be Terraria with all of you guys.

Other than that, there's a few more personal ones that I can't decide on.

Worst would probably be the realization that my work schedule won't allow me to play Borderlands 2 with the same crew I played the first one with. It's not as fun alone and I just haven't played it much because of this.

Oh btw, I wasn't kidding.

My best moment was joining the gym. Feels good having a goal and sticking with it.

2012 has been full of little things that have made me overall happier, but probably it all start when I finally got the job I was aiming for the previous year. So I'll pick that one as my best moment of 2012.

And the worst moment? I got so sick the day after my birthday that I pretty much had to stay in bed for a full week. It was a horrible week.

By the way, as far as my best moments of 2012:

I'll list a few of them:
1) Getting to see a few of my friends over the year
2) Seeing Victoria Justice at the New York State Fair
3) Getting to participate in some Let's Races over the year (that's probably no surprise to you all)

My worst moments:
(Actually, I can't think of any at the moment. But if I think of any, I'll be sure to reveal them)

I had a lot of great moments this year, though two are probably the top. One is when my parents came to Belgium for a week and then we went to England to see my brother (hito, if you guys go on the pav). Had a lot of fun introducing my parents to my friends and touring around with them, and doing all the fun stuff with my brother and parents in England. Other is definitely my going away party with my music group in Belgium. We had a like 30km bike ride that day (went to a church in a different village where we had lunch), and we drank at some pubs on the way there and back. Afterwards, from like 7pm until 4 or so am, we just hung out. They made it an America themed party, everyone wore red, white and blue, and around midnight 3 bagpipe players came to play me out. Really amazing night.

Worst moment would be the day I left Belgium :P I was pretty hung over on Wednesday (from my last rehearsal with the music group), so I woke up around noon, and then I didn't sleep Wednesday night so when I left Thursday morning it was brutal. I did okay on the plane, but when I landed I had a sh*t ton of luggage and then I put it in the baggage drop since they said if you had a connecting flight you could but then I realized my travel agent booked my next ticket at a DIFFERENT AIRPORT. So, my luggage was lost, I was bawling, and then I had to take a 40 min bus ride to LaGuardia, and then I just wanted a drink and a steak but oh wait I couldn't drink, so I had to have sh*tty fast food while on my 6 hour layover.

Best:
-Coming back to the Mag after being silly and stupid, seriously you people rock.
-Getting most of my financial turmoil my mom inflicted on me resolved for well... the most part.
-Starting up a Youtube channel and stuff. I didn't think I'd like it, but it's fun.
-Reconnecting with a couple college friends
-Getting a letter published in ImagineFX(digital art magazine)

Worst:
-Not having the house where I'd like it yet. Not having my nice Windows computer set up the way I'd like.
-Not beating many video games this year.
-Some stress and drama with my girlfriend's family that never seems to stop(I won't go into details, but family politics and backstabbing ewww why)
-Not getting to go visit my family yet, since I'm kinda scared to tell them I moved and stuff, which I plan to amend this year. Anxiety sucks, yo.
-Speaking of which, not getting to the anxiety issue with my doctor(she's great but is usually in a rush since she had tons of patients), and she moved, so I gotta find a new doctor to see about anxiety med of some sort. High time.
-Not getting to see the zoo lights show this year. Or getting to go to the ballet at all. That kinda sucked, but that will be remedied eventually, maybe when we can travel more hopefully.

That being said, most of the worst is just stuff I'm going to fix with resolutions of sorts. Though, stuff like working out more and all that typical resolution stuff is pretty much default at this point. More worst than best, but that's nothing that can't be fixed.

My worst moment of 2012 is easy, the car accident I was involved in back in early October.

To be fair, I came out of it with bad bruising and no broken bones so I can consider myself lucky in that regard. However, it did change my outlook on life a bit and even made me somewhat scared to be in a car. Whenever I'm car pooling and the driver makes a very hard stop my stomache sinks and I tense up, I panic. The fact that I was told that I could've died in that crash if the lady had hit us from a different angle only helps instill that fear even more.

After the accident my neck, shoulder, and chest became so messed up. Yeah I've healed up quite a bit but I can't workout as much when the tenseness shoots into my right shoulder. I had to be out of the gym for an entire month and that set me in a very depressed mood. I felt like sh*t, for real, I wasn't able to enjoy a hobby I loved. When I'm depressed I go over all of my problems and amplify them, making myself even more misreable. October was a terrible month for me. I had to roll myself out of bed thanks to the neck pain. Bleh.

And finally, that accident revealed a character flaw in me. I became angry at the attention the paramedics were giving me. Yeah, they charged me up the yin yang for an ambulance trip but I couldn't stand the fact that I was receiving medical attention, I thought I didn't deserve it. There are much better people than I that could use their help, why try to help me? Those were thoughts that crossed my mind.

In the end, I am glad I'm okay and able to enjoy the times of peace and joy from life. A Mormon knocked on my door a month ago and lectured me about life and such. He mentioned that people my age are never afraid to die and that we have a mindset that makes us believe we're immortal because people my age are so care free and can't see the fact that one day the good times will end and our youth will pass us by.

Well, I don't feel invincible, and I never had that mindset. When you're a hypochondriac like me the thought of dying becomes routine. The silver lining in this situation is that the accident reminded me to strive to be a better person and a decent human being to everyone else because the world is hard as it is. Why be a complete asshat?

That is my worst moment for 2012

One of the worst gaming moments of 2012? The Wii U.

As for best gaming moments, beating Smithy in Mario RPG Revolution.

Wow, so much happened this year. It's hard to even find a place where to start.

The good that happened was me finally working up the courage of moving away from my family and starting my own life. I've realized that there are people outside of family that care about you. I suppose the bad would have to be realizing the life you grew up in was not always the life you thought it was. Coming to terms with that was very hard for me, and it was super scary moving in with someone that you only met online. But thankfully it's working out, and I've gained a great friend. Lately it feels like I've become closer to the Mag and have made great friends with all of you guys. This community is very special and I just wish I could have made it Magcon with you peeps. It's awesome being able to know everyone here.

You could still come to Magcon if you decide to. You just have to reserve your own hotel room. =)

Forgot to mention one. Coming back to the Mag. I was gone last summer and late 2011. Not sure why I left, guess because I still thought I was disliked here but I'm glad to be back. Seriously.
