A young fella with big plans. All of us can dream, but how many of us can accomplish?

So, today is the day we all look back on 2010 and see what mistakes we've made and what we've accomplished...

I look back on this year like I look back on every year when it comes to a close; with mixed emotions of happiness and depression. I always get emotional on events like these because I think about the past and the things I've done. Mostly it's about the games I've played as a child; titles like Majora's Mask and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door stand out amongst the rest, because they were more than just pass times, they were amazing worlds that I could get immersed in, believable or not, and think of myself as involved with the events that were to unfold in the coming hours.

So here I am, sounding like a nerd, again, reflecting on my life, again, feeling sad, again. I'm glad at the same time I've been able to really experience all these times; it makes me happy that so many of my memories are dedicated to the imaginary worlds I went to. I doubt everyone could truly know what I'm talking about, and I condemn those people for assuming things like videogames are a waste of time when they are truly so much more.

To the people who DO get what I'm rambling about though, I extend my most sincere gratitude to you for being able to view these things the way I do. I hope that people will continue to enjoy videogames and life no matter how old they are; be it sharing secrets in A Link to the Past or giving tips in Pokemon (or maybe even something as simple as re-experiencing Ocarina of Time for the 10th time over, 'cause I do that all the time), I wish you all the very best for the new year, and I can only wonder where my favourite game series will go in the future.

Anyone reading this has my thanks; it's subjects like this that I like to share with people, because nothing makes me happier than getting lost in a conversation with someone about a particular favourite game that is viewed as more than just that; a game. Merry (late) Christmas, and Happy New Year, everyone. Thank you.
