It's that time of year .. time to try to predict what will happen next year. The previous threads can be found below:

Try to predict events that will occur in 2007

Try to predict events that will occur in 2006

So have it .. make many predictions (if you throw enough shit at a wall, some of it is bound to stick).

Suggested prediction categories:

Sports - who will win various national championships

Natural disasters - where and when will they occur

Politics - who will be elected, thrown out of office, be part of a scandal, etc

Celebrities/notable figures - marriages, deaths, etc

Randomness - odd trends or news story (i.e. water on mars)



My predictions are as follows:

XM and Sirius merger will finally be approved.

Colored/customizable Wiis will be available or announced. (keeping hope alive on this)

George Clooney will announce his intentions to run for a political office. (and this)

The main presidential candidates will be Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani however will lose some steam when it's revealed he was part of financially immoral activities (embezzlement?). This revelation however wont do enough damage to keep the race from being close.

Crackdown 2 will be announced/revealed.

A Heroes movies or new series chronicling the original heroes will be annouced. Also, Hayden Panettiere will quit the show. Shortly after she will be in two fairly notable but largely unsuccessful movies.

The Watchmen movie comes out in December and is a huge hit.

Tiger Woods is injured in a major car accident, jeapordizing his career at least temporarily.

Vladimir Putin is linked to numerous murders but despite attempts, is not ousted from power.

A security threat/scare will take place at Chicago O'Hare airport as well as Heathrow (London) and Charles de Gaulle International (France).


I will reach 10,000 posts and Wubb will overtake me in gamer points.

It's been 2 years since 360 came out, it will be 3 by the end of 08. The xbox had a 4 year life span.


What's so far fetched?
 
The US will be victums of a major terrorist attack in August or Sept. Bush will suspend the constitution, and cancel the Nov election.

It had a 4 year life span because it got spanked marketshare wise and was out billions with no end in sight.

The 360 is in a much more favorable position on both those counts, so you can expect a longer lifespan. Starting over means its back in the hole again, and I dont think anyone wants that.

And now my prediction:

- Everyone holds their current standing as far as console marketshare.

- Analysts will continue to trumpet a comeback by the PS3, despite there being absolutely no sign of this for the duration of the year. "Wait till 2008" becomes "wait till 2009"
 
One prediction and one prediction only: Jeff Hardy will win one of the three world titles in WWE. That's all that needs to happen :)

You do realize that real life isn't like the movies, correct? The president can't just up and decide to cancel the constitution on a whim.

You do realise that he can suspend the elections within the provisions of legislation that was passed this summer.

I predict I will kill you...better start running.
 
I'm fucked now. Raptor Jesus is after me. Hey, RJ, I met you at a town hall meeting a year or two ago. It impacted my life greatly so I depicted it in this painting:

 
I predict that our confrontation will play out much like the ending of Jurassic Park 1...except this time I have the power of the Holy SPIRIT on my side. Basically ur fuckED
 
Ooooohhh, my favorite topic.

The New England Patriots will be undefeated but will lose in the one and only game that matters: the Super Bowl.

EDIT 2/3/2008: I called it! I fuckING CALLED IT. They did NOT win the Super Bowl! HaHA!

A game on the portables will win Game of the Year.

Despite the releases of Final Fantasy XIII and Guns of the Patriots, the PS3 will slip even deeper further into third place.

Boston Red Sox will be the main (only?) "superpower" in baseball.

Even more, bigger celebrities will star in video games (possible due to the writer's strike perhaps).

If Barack Obama does get the Democratic nomination, his choice for Vice President will be......Oprah Winfrey.

There will be a mass shooting- on the set of a major production (TV show, movie, etc).

Cloverfield will be nowhere near as successful as everyone thinks it'll be.

Similar to radio, and thanks to websites like Youtube, Liveleak, Peekvid, Dailymotion, etc, 70% of all TV stations will be broadcast online, giving even more reason to quit your cable box and satellite dish. (Internet television FTW!)
