So if you ever do any blogging, the end of the year always presents an interesting challenge.  That challenge is.. do I do a “year in review” post, or a “predictions for the upcoming year” post.  If you’re especially prolific, which I’m not, you do both.  The “year in review” posts can be fun because it’s always interesting to look back, see what was launched, which trends took hold that we didn’t expect, and to see how things panned out.  But they also require work, as you actually have to spend time going back through articles, checking dates, cross-referencing performance numbers against your claims (it’s all well and good to say that Champions Online tanked, but did it really?  I’d have to check my numbers.  Honestly I don’t think it did.  It just felt like it did), and in general do research.  Prediction posts, on the other hand, are much easier, We get to simply talk out of our butts about whatever we think is going to happen, and there’s almost no work involved at all, save putting our prophetic statements to paper.  Lazy blogger that I am.. you can guess which kind of post this is.
