The three things I am most hopeful of for 2009:
1 - The cabinet for the Israeli government would face charges of crimes against humanity.  
- All senior IDF/ISF will get a bullet through their brain in a public execution.  
- Under international court, the Israeli occupancy will have been dissolved, and Israel as a country no longer recognized.
- World celebration ensues, wars are reduced by 83%.

2 - I get three A/S in computer science just before the end of '09 (almost there w00t!)

3 - Economy will begin to recover.  Home values will stabilize.


What 2009 will more likely be:
1 -  Israel starts its own 'cleansing' campaign, riots break out worldwide.  Global nuclear war may occur

2 - The school I attend will cut half of its classes due to the financial armageddon expected to hit California in Q2 '09, A/Ss delayed another year.

3 - Home values continue to fall after the backlash of bad loans hits a second time.

I knew I forgot something. Again.

In 2009, I want to continue, and hopefully complete, writing up my little personal project.

I'm also secretly holding out hope that either StarCraft 2, Diablo III, or Storm of War: Battle of Britain are released sometime this year

::Play epic doomsday music::

2009: All the people that contributed for FS 1 and 2 will form a new company "InterLight", and any who ever freded, modded, or wrote a story about Freespace that is willing will be hired to create the greatest game in the history of ever..... Freespace 3

They will announce a release date of late 2012. It will have extremely high security around all aspects of the development, and a budget over a billion Pounds.
By the end of 2010 there will be trailers, and "leaked" information allover the internet, InterLight will announce that it will be the last game in the freespace saga, and it will answer all the questions left open by the other games.  At some point it becomes clear that it will be one of the greatest games ever made, with multiple and distinct learning AIs, a totally immersing universe, and hundreds of hours of addictive game play.

some time in mid 2011 InterLight will announce that 4,000 people to pre-order will be picked at random to become beta testers in early 2012. They will be the first outside IL to play the game.

The day of the beta 2 hours after midnight GMT, the first reaction to the game is posted, just one word, "awesome". Less than a hour after that, the world ends.

I expect 2009 to be an even more crappy year then 2008 as far as the general downhill roll of everithing.

However i do expect the Hard-Light comunity to become a bit more recognized as the place to  be if you ever played FS .

Also i expect this year to be rather full of new sweet looking mod's for us plain old users!
