Boy, it's been a while since I made one of these little things, huh?

Well, where should I begin? Maybe I'll start with a big, hearty Happy New Year to everybody. With 2015 creeping up on us, we can hope for a brighter year ahead (Because, frankly, 2014 absolutely SUCKED) Unlike some others, I will be busy on this evening playing my new PS4 console with a bottle of grape champagne on my desk and a comfy Dualshock 4 controller nestled within my grubby hands. I'm not one for getting together with people on this day of the year. Perhaps it's just because how people I know act when they're wasted. Trust me, the people I know get far too wild and reckless when they've had one too many.

But, I digress. I'm writing this just a handful of hours before we enter 2015 to show my gratitude to you all. I have a bit to get off my chest and not much time to do it, so I'll try to not ramble on too much (Like I did up there)

First off, the least important one out of all of this. As some of you may know, at the beginning of the year, I started a small YouTube channel called GeekySteven (https://www.youtube.com/user/GeekySteven) I simply decided to do it after a few months of writing game reviews on this very site. I decided to do those reviews in a video format, after a few forum users pitched that commonly-used idea to me. At first, I really only did it to see just how far I'd go, and see how long it'd take me to give it up again. But frankly, I think I had a pretty good first year doing this, and I'm going to continue doing it throughout 2015. I owe a lot of that success this year to you guys. It warms my heart to see you guys supporting me and my mediocre videos. I know plenty of other better options out there, but me, of all people? I honestly can't wrap my mind around it. It simply, utterly amazes me. Thank you all for supporting me and believing in me throughout the year in my internet endeavors. I simply couldn't be any more grateful for it.

That leads to my second thing I want to say; the forums. In all of my years on this giant information hub known as the internet, I've never seen a fan community so welcoming, kind, and diverse. Ever since Summer of 2013 (Hard to believe it's been that long) I've gotten know all kinds of members, and while there may have been some bad eggs throughout my stay here, the community has shown overwhelming love to one another, and nothing else makes me more happy to see all of these different people come together. I'll be honest; if it weren't for the community, I likely wouldn't be a brony right now. So, to all of my friends on here, as well as the brony community as whole, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You all helped me remember just how awesome the human race can be under all of the bullshit that happens outside of it. There's so much potential within this giant community, and I can't wait to see that potential blossom, if it hopefully does to begin with.

In essence, I want to give a gigantic amount of gratitude to everyone here. Thank you to all of my friends on here. Thank you to all of you who are crazy enough to watch my YouTube stuff. Most importantly, thank you to the entire community. You all are absolutely awesome individuals, and I couldn't be more grateful for all of the support and kindness you've given me ever since I first stumbled upon this place. My entire life is controlled by insecurity and stress, but knowing that I have you all here, even though I likely will never see your faces, puts me at great ease.

I owe you everything :')

Let's make 2015 a great year, why don't we?
