If you didn't think it was a bad year, then how does this thread make sense? People say every year was ****, so why make a thread for this one?

Whelp, astrologers, psychics, and the History Channel were all correct in that the world was supposed to end in 2012. But Earth still had a lot of subscribers so the developers decided to start churning out expansion pack after expansion pack just to keep things interesting. So now things are just getting wacky. And of all the events and expansions released this year include

South Korea being run by a wizard

Brazilian mad scientists are creating mutant mosquitos

Vampires are attacking our grocery stores

the clowns are making their move on the humans
http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity...e-attacking-people-across-the-country-w442920

And this sort of began with ISIS demolishing an ancient Babylonian temple now all the celebrities are dying like flies and the killer clowns/zombies/vampires/robots/aliens are attacking.

We are also waiting to see what will happen after that Turkey Coup event the mods held last July. So far not a lot but we will see.
 
Ah that reminds me, The Great 2016 Clown Invasion of North America and Great Britain made this a pretty terrible year

Nothing.

- The british people got the brexit they wanted
- The US voted for the truth over pure corruption to see Donald Trump as the President elect.
- Australia said they the both major political groups. Liberal-National and Labor-Greens-union. Proof is the election result.
- Super moon
- Nintendo Switch reveal
- etc etc

A lot for the world to ponder and learn from.

Oh yeah, how could I forget all this horrible stuff. I wish we were back when America started where we were all dying to the plague and had nowhere to live.

When the hell did that happen? The plague never seriously affected that region and America didn't even start until nearly the 1800s

You know the time when the Pilgrams barely made it through the first few years of being in a new land.
