Gaming highlight was probably finally understanding how Civ 5 works and getting used to the changes from Civ 4.
My lowlight has been the past 5 weeks without my PC and Internet connection. Struck by lightning on 19/11 I was. Took out mostly my PCs, televisions, decoders, modem and other electronics. Now I am patiently waiting for Telkom to give me a line with internet.
I suppose that the upside of this is a new rig and a kick-ass set of speakers (the speakers I paid in a bit on the insurance money to get something I wanted).
