I call that when someone makes a game better than portal, they will either be hailed as a deity or killed by fanboys of any console that it does not get released on.

That is already true its called Halo 3. Subjective opinion strikes again!

Plus, who doesn't love the ridiculous dark humor?

Me obviously.

Merr, it's been stated before shatner, you are indeed a robot :)
In a good way, or something!

No matter how many brilliant innovations or gameplay improvements they add to Call of Duty: World at War, every reviewer in the known universe will complain endlessly about it being a WWII game, and therefore it will not sell as well as if it was a modern setting.

I also call that as soon as they come out with a game that has a brilliantly written, completely believable character who attains the status of "badass" through possible means, the Halo fans will flood the online modes and bitch endlessly about how much more fun Halo 3 is and how gay this (hypothetical) game is.

(EDIT) I also call that when Spore comes out, everyone will bitch about how much higher their expectations were and how disappointed they are, regardless of how good the game actually is. I will go so far as to predict that even I will feel this way, but unless the game is genuinely not fun I'll keep playing it until I forget all the pre-launch hype, and then wonder why I didn't appreciate the game fully when I first played it.

I also call that sooner or later someone wll be sued for his douchebaggery over Xbox Live, and he will deserve it.

I also call that if Namco doesn't put Darth Vader on Xbox Live for Soulcalibur IV, I will end up buying the game again when I get a PS3, even though the only difference between the two versions is the Vader/Yoda one. Yes, playing as Darth Vader really means that much to me.

Call: There will be no MGS5 , there may be another metal gear, but no solid. There might be Otacon in other games with little flashbacks to snakes last days or maybe viewed as a old hero.

Call: The force unleashed will satisfy Star Wars fans to the point of wanting a movie and more KOTOR3 droolz.

Good call captain clever. How about "There will be no Matrix 4" or "There will be no Citizen Kane 2"?

Hmm... Tokyo I can see, but why would they redo London? I don't think the original did that well.

I call that Spore will get pushed back at least once before it is released.

HL2:3 will be better then the other two episodes
HL2:3 will have barney killed, or just continue to not exist
There will never be a good game with dinosaurs ever again, Turok Evolution ruined it for al of us, well, you know, that and all the jurassic park games
Left 4 Dead will do poorly in sales, partly because of little or no hyper, partly becuase the market is being flooded with zombies and the undead and that whole concept

Dave Chappelle will make a video game. It will consist of him, as Rick James, saying "I'm Rick James, bitch." It will go platinum.

The next GTA will be GTA : Gondwanaland, and will depict drug smuggling into Bali. The Indonesians will not be happy.

The Ghostbusters game, despite being written and acted by the actual ghostbusters, will not be acknowledged by non-gamers.

Call: All my friends will scoff at me as i fail to watch or even remember to watch yet another series of Dr Who... i just never bothered to watch it enough to get into it... much to the annoyance of all of my chums.

AND LIKE AN ANGEL DID THEY TEAR THROUGH THE PAGE!!!!

Impaled On His Blade Rain Screamed In Pure, Unending Agony As He Was Ripped Through Page After Page Of The Off-Topic Section, Travelling At The Speed Of Light With The Power To Crush Souls And Rend And Tear The Pages Of The Very Site!!!!

"Now Rain! Now Do You Fear My Power!?!?!?"

Rain Could Only Stare Through Agony As They Smashed Through Space And Time, The Burning, Ulimited Power In The Blade Eating Through His Defences And Searing His Soul Into Ribbons.

"You... wont... kill... me..." He chocked.

"BUT THIS MIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Well, i sure as hell didn't call that... was that me?

WTF is going on?

Let me give you a rundown - incredible nerdiness saves the day, Human beings are evil and cause our own problems, "Reverse the polarity" and other gibberish, awkward sexual tension (which is difficult since his companion has a face that looks like a pair of leather pants), the "it was all a big misunderstanding, no-one here is evil at all, everyone lives, sunshine and rainbows" episode, and of course the bringing back of an old enemy as fan service.

Don't get me wrong though, I love this show to death - its like crack to me. But the basic forumula doesn't change much. Maybe a new writer will fix that.

My favourite episodes of it are my favourite because they mess around with it - stuff like The Satan Pit, The Sound of Drums and Dalek.

GD, this was too tempting...Now I have to write up stuff. (I just look at forums every so often, never post).

I call on the next to die (in the following order) this year:
Fictional:
Rose Tyler (But that's just stating the obvious, now, isn't it?)
Real-Life:
Amy Winehouse (and her death will be the stuff of legends)
David Bowie
Not Osama, but his number 2, Al-Zawahri (he's old)

I call the Aspies and HFAs uniting and forming the next civil rights movement.

I call Metallica's new album still sucking, but a VAST improvement over the past 12-15 years. (I hate Bob Rock)

Now onto gaming...
I call Monolith Soft and Mistwalker developing Chrono Break and release it via Namco or Nintendo.
I call the Lunar series dead.
I call Tony Hawk ending his endorsement of Activision's skating series and joining EA.
I call the next "Meet the..." in the series will be Spy, and the next set of Acheivements will be Demoman.
I call Duke Nukem Forever being released as a Flash game. Out of spite.
I call GameFAQs eventually imploding and becoming just a blase GS site.
I call Multiwinia being a dark horse success story this year.
I call Apple never getting involved in gaming. Again.
I call Crytek declaring bankruptcy in the next 3-5 years.
I call DC vs. MK being as ridiculously bad as the current "Batman, RIP" arc, which equals Marvel's "One More Day" and follow-up.
I call someone attempting to make a Doctor Who game. And failing miserably.
I call the Canadian packs for Guitar Hero or Rock Band having shitty latter-day Our Lady Peace tracks, some Tragically Hip, and maybe Rush. No Matt Good or even Arcade Fire.
I call single-player becoming increasingly non-existent as an anti-piracy measure.
I call FFXIV not being released till after the next gen consoles are out. Meanwhile, Tetsuya Nomura will be outed, and will reveal his boyfriend...to be a near-twin of him.
I call Gabe and Tycho relishing their power and influence too much (prolly after Rainslick Ep. 3) and begin their fall from grace. (On a related note, I call Dom Nguyen getting his head bashed in, and Fred getting a competent editor who will make sure he keeps a somewhat regular schedule at MegaTokyo)

Is that good?

I predict that Barac Obama will be assasinated by a white supremasist if put into office, and the assasin will not be caught, but it will come forward and then be killed himself, causeing a massive uprising in both white and black areas of America casueing a Civil War.

I am a Pessamist.
and i can't spell.

I call: That if Hillary is the Vice President, she will have him killed. And Barac may not want her as a running mate, but the party will force it on him. He may have the popular vote, but he does not have the favor of his party.

That's to easy. How about: PS4 will cost $800+ on release day (although that's way to easy also)

It's supposed to end December 21st, 2012. (P.S. You spelled December wrong)

I wouldn't mind.

Not in the fucking least.

I also call that no mtter how much any given celebrity remains exactly the same (Jack Black, for example) they will randomly lose fans that are made at them for selling out, and randomly gain new fans who "love the new [movies/books/games], but hate the old ones".

(EDIT) This applies double, triple, quadruple, and quintuple to video games, especially long running series like Final Fantasy, series that broke ground like Diablo, and series that started with an overwhelmingly popular game, like Portal. I also call that every sequel to every popular game will be met with a unified front of either scorn or disappointment, no matter what the developers do, with people claiming that the developers "lost sight of what made the first popular". For example, no matter what Portal 2 is like, half of us will hate it because they remember the first as being better. The other half will focus on the new features, overlooking the (possible) drop in humour in favour of more puzzles and greater variety. I also call that Portal 2 will either be vastly superior to the original in every way, or basically the same thing with new dialogue, new puzzles, and maybe multiplayer. Which is win-win, really.

Project Origin is going to suck just like the other expansions. They just don't freaking learn:(

I call that you have no idea what you're talking about. That one is sadly self-evident because Monolith didn't make the FEAR expansions. Also, Origin isn't an expansion, it's a sequel.
