Forums - General - What was the best year or period in your life? and why?

well.. it came to my mind that sometimes i wish i can go back to different periods in my life since a lot have changed in the last 20 years and i feel that i had to let go on so many things just because life has changed very much and in a fast rate. not to mention life was so much happier and simplier since people were a lot closer and children used to play all sort of games outside back in the 90's and early 2000's since i was born in 1989.

my favorite years are:

1994: i was 5 years old and was starting to absurb life. played the NES with my family the most that year. it was the last year that i had with my mother before she had cancer and stayed more than 1 year at the hospital going through chemo untill she passed away in early 1997.

1999-2001: in 1999 i started to get over my greif from losing my mother at an early age. i topped all my forth grade classes and become the number 1 student. had three sisters at the age of 21,19 and 17 and they really took care of me quite well and filled a large portion from a hole placed in my heart that was caused from losing my mother.bought the PS1 and had a lot of classical moments with it.  in 2000 i bought our own VCR with my older brother and in those years we started renting movies, cartoons and wrestling episodes from the WWF ( back when wresting was very populer and amazing) and our first rent was wrestlemania 2000 <3. loved the music back in those years very much and felt like the world was truly booming at the time.

2008: graduated from high school and bought my first car and got excepted in university.

2010: bought my PS3 late 2009 but this year was where i actually got truly addicted to video games and played one of my all time favorite experiences which were: Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, God of War 3 and Flower and many more.

thank you for ur input :)



I think for me it's now, finished school for good and hopefully going to university to do History.

But also in 2007, when i started getting into gaming when i found my mum's SNES and played Donkey Kong Country on it. What a classic that was.

For me its right now.
Studying at University, just going into my final year to hopefully gain an Honors degree, and am finally living with my Fiance in our own place.
All this coupled with having enough money to do the things i enjoy when i want makes me very happy :)

2003: was 11 and got my first gf. I was so happy that I would just be sitting there playing games and then I would just smile and be like yea I got a gf. Unfortunately I was young and stupid, as the next year was my worst year and I barely remember any of it because I got so depressed when she broke up with me.

2010: Got a job, still have the same job in the summers. Have not had any other job yet. Getting a job cured most of my unhappiness. It provided me with food for I was just plain starving at the time (work at a restaurant). It provided me with money which then lead to cars, which lead to many other things. It provided me with a bunch of friends, I play games with at least 3 people that I work with when I did not know them before. It provided me with a place that I often considered better then home.


That is all really Hope to have another good year in the next 3 years, as I am halfway thru a 4 year degree.



The last year and a half.
Completed first my Bachelor, then my Postgrad.
Met my first girlfriend.
Got tons of writing done, which I'm going to try to publish.



2/3 years ago in 7th grade. Oh, how happy I was and unfortunately it was the only time I had bonded as much as I did with my friends and the next couple of years that would slowly fade.
I have now gone to darker times but I am seeing opportunities to fix it in the next school year.
