Made my first correct prediction early in the year as Seahawks won. Does anyone want to make predictions and not leave me alone?

4-Dow Jones reaches 18,000.

May be going in the wrong direction.
Was over 16,500, now under 15,400

Posted: **Tue Feb 25, 2014 3:03 am**

1. Oil spikes to $150 a barrel this summer with gas prices as high as $5 a gallon in some states.

2. A major US airline ceases operations, leaving thousands of travelers stranded.

3. A mild earthquake rattles the east coast while multiple tornadoes touch down in southern California. Neither event results in serious injuries or anything more than minor damage.

4. The northeast US has one of the coldest summers in recorded history, with some areas in New England not getting above 60 degrees all summer with many days seeing highs in the low 50s and lows in the 40s.

5. The hurricane season will be slow in terms of the numbers of storms. But there will be multiple US landfalls with one major hitting the southeast coast.

6. A tornado outbreak will rock the mid Atlantic states this spring, with several large powerful tornadoes. This event is forecast several days out and thanks to the National Weather Service and the local media the threat is highly publicized and while damage is severe loss of life is minimal.

7. A well known private weather forecasting company goes belly up suddenly and with no explanation.

8. A Storm2k member becomes a forecaster at NHC.

9. A fugitive who is accused of committing an infamous crime and who has been on the run for over 40 years is captured by the FBI.

5. YouTube starts removing video duplication to free web space.
6. Perth, Western Australia, finally gets a Doppler radar ahead or during winter.
7. A new Island is discovered and named.

Posted: **Mon Mar 17, 2014 2:49 am**

Hmm...let's see what I can pull out of the darkness.

1. MH370 is found, and the real reason it disappeared shocks most people.
2. UCLA wins the NCAA March Madness tourny.
3. A U.S. State attempts gun confiscation, which results in law enforcement agents being shot trying to enforce unconstitutional laws.
4. More U.S. States attempt to ban "scary looking" weapons, including at least one with no grandfather clause or amnesty period, resulting in otherwise law abiding U.S. Citizens literally becoming felons overnight (looking at you, Maryland).
5. Tensions in the U.S. and abroad spike the national average of gas prices over $4.50, briefly touching $5.
6. Amid fears of a resurgence of the recession in the U.S. and other things, the DOW sees a low of 14,000 at some point during the year.
7. The "unusually" cold winter will give way to a cooler than normal spring, while summer will be about average for the U.S.
8. Tornadoes are below average through most of the year, but a landfalling tropical cyclone dramatically boosts the numbers almost to near average.
9. A tropical cyclone makes landfall on Florida, Louisiana, and NC. One of these is a Category 3, which is downgraded to a Category 2 during the post season review.
10. Another Unnamed Tropical Cyclone is found during post season review.

I'll throw my two cents in and predict a 6.5 or higher earthquake in California by summer, given the intervals that major earthquakes seem to be moving up the Pacific fault.

There was no large warm-spell during late Feb, Spring was cooler than normal but close to average, there wasn't a heatwave in early May so No

10. Weather worldwide will be disastrous and extreme like the last few years...emphasis on how warm the SST's become everywhere expect the Pacific. Not as disastrous or extreme but had its share, SST's were no more focused than previous years so No
11. Syria continuing to slip into the abyss with the Civil War becoming even more deadly...Bashar Al-Assad uses chemical weapons in April when his back is up against the wall. Over 130,000 die in just weeks and a no-fly zone is put into place with major air-strike activity from NATO. The current regime is just about annihilated by year's end. Chemical weapons were used, but that is all I got correct from this statement...so 1/4 right and 3/4 wrong
12. Egypt and India become problems for the outside as protests and unrest continue Yes
13. The Dow stock market will reach 14,100 by September I'll say 1/4 right because it skyrocketed in 2013 to over 16,000!!

17. A Family Guy movie is announced at the end of the year No
18. The biggest step in medium production since the Gutenberg printing press...3D printers take off in the middle of the year like wildfire and become complex. This leads to rapid spread of data files containing items that the US government wants to ban *cough* 1/2 correct, more news then ever about them and government attention
19. The US tornado season will be very active 1/2 right, it wasn't active in numbers but a few historic events took place that more than made up for any shortfall
20. Israel ends up backing down from striking Iran while Iran runs into problems with its nuclear program 1/4 right, Israel didn't do anything like most thought would and Iran is slowing down its quest or even giving up its nuclear weapon program
21. A former President will die No

30. Piers Morgan is deported back to Britain afterall Sadly No

At best, 10.75/30 right but more like 11/30 right. Yikes, however the predictions were specific. I got the same score basically as last time but had 10 extra predictions

.

I wrote 2014's predictions back last December but didn't get any time to post it here til now so...

Here are my 2014 predictions:

1. Fidel Castro will, you guessed it, again NOT die this year either
2. Toronto mayor Rob Ford wins re-election in the Fall to the amazement of the world. His celebrity fame earns him the chance to make us all laugh even more
3. Donations to Christmas charity like the Salvation Army Kettle and others in Canada and the US drop ~15% from 2013's amounts. This is a new tradition since 2008
4. Weather worldwide will swing into an extreme phase where disasters and calamities start to rise considerably. Its already started in December 2013. Emphasis on incredible cold during this winter in the northern hemisphere, ice/snow storms, and severe weather Yes already to the first 2 points
5. The Atlantic Hurricane season will be record low if no El Nino occurs, if one occurs than a few hurricane's making landfall in the US with above average ACE I already changed my mind on this but if I change it now it wouldn't be fair because this was to be posted Dec.31 of 2013
6. Next winter will be starting around Christmas and be above average in temperatures
7. The winter in NA will be very cold until early March when a large warm-spell ends it. Spring will be way above average (hotter than last year's) with the giant warmth happening in 3 periods I can already see this crashing and burning :oops:

8. It will be the 13th hottest summer in Canada and the 18th hottest in the US. Average precip.
9. No attacks will occur directly at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia Yes
10. Syria continuing to slip into the abyss with the Civil War ongoing, nothing huge but some more interviews and comments from Bashar Al-Assad are broadcast

12. The Dow stock market will reach 18,600 by the end of the year
13. Oil prices will remain steady throughout the year between $70-$100 a barrel...going down near $60 by the end of the year unless the Middle East explodes
14. The Xbox One experiences a major scandal that makes the news and feels a sharp jab of further reduced sales than ever before. PS4 outsells all consoles 2:1
15. It will be the biggest year at the box office in sales since record keeping began, massive line up of blockbusters at the theaters
16. The US tornado season will be the 4-5th most active of all time Maybe this upcoming severe weather event will help out :lol:

17. Iran continues to cooperate with giving up its nuclear program and the inspectors come in and find everything is as promised. Iran's relations with the US and Israel nations improve dramatically to the surprise of everyone. Almost all the sanctions against Iran are gone by year's end
18. A former President will die and then come back to life
19. Amish Mafia is renewed for a 3rd season, Duck Dynasty creates another controversy that almost knocks the family off TV again, and The Big Bang Theory becomes the highest rated show in ALL of TV currently airing again Yes already for the 1st

I was just thinking about the Wii U, how no one talks about it and it may as well be invisible. Even non-bias game critics that I have seen a portion of talk about how there is nothing for it. There is not a single thing about the Wii U that is alluring whatsoever and if it weren't for the Xbone, it would be a laughing stock.

Hopefully yes to 17, and hopefully no (and I highly doubt it) for 20.

My prediction for the tornado season looks to be the biggest mistake, may be record low activity by the end of the year. The Blackberry's stocks falling prediction could happen as there was a new report by an independent company showing that BB's share in the market will go down to below 0.8% by the end of the year and by 2018 or so to 0.3%...ouch!! :Chit:

Well, Bieber is declared "Persona non grata" in our country. It means he is not welcome to enter our country.... I see that you're Canadian.

Filipinos tend to be oversensitive to posts against their citizens, reputation and country. They are kinda proud IMO. This is the reason why Bieber is barred, after making fun of a boxer called Manny Pacquiao.

About the Wii U, yeah its sales would go up slightly due to Mario Kart 8 and that does not mean that it will not be as massive and successful as PS4 and XBox titles. I am a huge Super Mario and Nintendo fan. I guess this system is quite underrated.

Filipinos usually protest whenever there is not enough food needs and power outages. We're really very democratic and liberal, with a mix of conservatism. They like to express their opinions out loud and want to be heard, so protests arrive.

Pork barrel is a PHP10 billion scam. I don't want to explain it and we will not go into POLITICS.

Even the weather despises Bieber, on May 3, 2012 we had severe thunderstorms in southern Ontario and in Mitchell ON (the tornado capital of Ontario) a house of Justin's aunt and uncle (or cousins?) was damaged by powerful straight line winds from it. I made a joke about the weather not being able to stand the family! :lol:

The whole world will eventually hate him, just give it time

I don't agree with the first part but have you played Super Mario World on the SNES before? That's the last Mario and console from Nintendo that I like and as for SMW, I love, love that game and I consider it to be the 6th best video game ever made and the best Mario game, SNES game, platformer game, and 2D game. Its just so perfect in countless ways, the game mechanics and even physics make it timeless and boosts the replay value. Its sort of like "The Incredible Machine" series from the 90s on the PC. I had dreams about the game early on and still do til this day. Almost all of these dreams had content or a difference from the original game because a major fantasy of mine was the possibility of editing the game any way you could imagine and I thought how amazing that would be back in the 90s and how the replay value would be infinite. I discovered that dream was a reality when FuSoYa created Lunar Magic, an editor. Its the greatest game editor and 3rd best piece of software. This has led to SMW becoming the most hacked video game and flourished a huge hacking following where almost 1000 hacks have been created since the beginning. Right now I'm heavily into the SMW scene and about to embark on more serious playing of hacked titles and editing experiments since it truly is insane what has been done with it, going above and beyond what I thought possible in childhood

.

The main problem with the current generation of video game consoles is the lack of games, and IMO games are going downhill rapidly in terms of quality which is a disappointment, I was so excited back in 2005 at the potential of video gaming in the future, only a few have really lit the spark of insanity (GTA V) and a few lesser known creative titles. This is especially true on the Wii U, no amazing games. The gimmick nature of the first Wii and this one is the biggest turn-off you can have, I would not pay more than $28 for the Wii and $50 for the Wii U.

Yes. I have played SMW but not on the SNES. I play it on an emulator and thanks to it I am able to play console titles. The SNES era was one of the best eras in video game history and I agree with your statement that the games are now going downhill. That is why I am stuck to playing old titles and I don't really buy new consoles. I am lucky that I get to play classic games even if I was born 10 to 11 years after SMW was released. Another good game is NSMB of 2006. It is another very successful game and is the 3rd best tied with SMW. It is frequently hacked too. The first time I played it was when I got addicted to Mario, when I frequently played games with my cousin because that was such a hot year ... And that was in 2010. :lol:

In our country, the Wii U is so badly overpriced that the sales here could rapidly go down. It is like $300 or more here. Nintendo should make more well-priced and more innovative consoles to attract more customers then should stop making the game industry go downhill then go back up.

I only play it on an emulator as well, like the majority. I did play it on the original SNES back in the 90s though. I usually play one generation of games behind from the current one so I'm on the PS3 era right now but I barely game. So are you saying the hotter the temperature outside the more you play games indoors? :lol:
