    This is a fairly stereotypical end-of-year topic about all of the things that you came to love in this past year. (Note: Listed items/people do not need to have been released or discovered within this year. Only enjoyed most by the poster.)

    The list below is not meant to be comprehensive. Feel free to add on additional categories and ignore those that don't personally apply. I will include my choices in another post to avoid creating a wall of text.

    Favorite Artist/Album: 2014 release; Tori Amos - Unrepentant Geraldines
    Discovered Happy Rhodes on 2014 and love their works.

    Favorite Novel: None on 2014 releases.
    Best one I read in 2014 was Island of Dr. Monreau...

    Favorite Film: 2014 release; Earth to Echo, Captain America Winter Soldier, Batman:Assault on Arkham and Maleficent
    Watched in 2014: Hawaii, Machette and Machette Kills

    Favorite Video Game: 2014 release; The Sims 4
    Played on 2014: Baldur's Gate 2 Enhanced Edition

    Favorite Actor: Robin Williams.. because we lost him. No one else important to point out.

    Favorite Athlete: Oscar Pistorius as he showed how fame effect judgement. I believe if he was a regular person he was already thrown into jail and started to rot.

    Favorite Eye Candy: Jovenshire and Dawnforged Cast from Youtube. (Russell Tovey as usual), Jamie Oliver
    and Lorraine Pascale even she is a lady... I love to watch her on screen... so graceful and sexy... Don't worry I am not turning Bi... I just think she gives that sexy vibe only few males can resist.

    Favorite Public Figure: Pope Francis and his decleration towards gay people. As religion is torn on our side for centuries, some very important religious figure showing acceptence is not a small feat.

    Favorite Moment: Probably the moment I decided to sign on this site.

    Favorite Personal Achievement: Quitting smoking.

    Favorite Webcomic: Menage a 3/Sticky Dilly Buns

    Favorite Comic Book Arc: Forever Evil, especially Rogues Rebellion - DC Comics

    Favorite Artist: David Nakayama, He did some great covers this year. Still need to watch Big Hero 6.

    Favorite Writer: Geoff Johns

    Those are things spring to my mind... With my weak memory be thankfull you get this much. :grin:

    Even now I can't stop listening to "King."

    Favorite Novel: My own
    I write what I most want to read.

    Favorite Film: Frozen or Kill Bill Vol. 2 (can't decide)
    Never saw either movie before this year. I think they're near-perfect for different reasons.

    Favorite TV Series: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
    Simply the reigning champion, I doubt any other show will throw this one off its throne.

    Favorite Video Game: Mario Kart 8
    I logged over 60 hours into this one easily, which for me is a lot of time on a video game.

    Favorite Actor: David Carradine
    How does this guy make a mild lisp so damn terrifying?!

    Favorite Athlete: Little Mac
    lol, sports, did you mean smash bros?

    Favorite Eye Candy: All of Wakfu: The Animated Series
    I have seen nothing more beautiful this year than the animation of this show.

    Favorite Public Figure: Florida Man
    Always out and about doing something entertaining. Makes me proud to live in this state.

    Favorite Moment: Noticing the weird-ass face Xehanort makes in Kingdom Hearts 2.5 boxart
    He looks like a goddamn dungeon and dragons goblin from a monster manual. Almost died laughing.

    Favorite Personal Achievement: Analyzing myself and my desires honestly
    For years I just figured I was some sort of perverted freak of nature and it was easier if I didn't think too hard about my sexual habits and impulses. But it was sooooo much better to buckle down and write down how I felt even if it scared me at first. I love who I am. :slight_smile:

    Honestly, this means so much. (*hug*)

    I was my favorite thing about this year as well. It was genuinely a struggle to not give myself the recognition that I deserved, as the single best thing about this past year. We might all recognize it in our hearts, but unfortunately you have to stay humble if you want people to like you. I'm just glad that someone said it.
