Here are mine:
1. Complete the 52 games challenge again
I look forward to doing this all year round and it's actually my favorite part of this website at this point. It's really motivated me to actually play the games in my collection versus just admiring them on a shelf (which is also fun lol). But this year I just barely made the 52 games goal (at 53 right now), and while technically to meet this goal i'd just have to complete 52 games, I would like to actually aim higher, maybe even in the mid 60s if possible. However, even if I do just beat 52 games I'll consider this one completed
2. ACTUALLY update my collection here on VGcollect!
I think I've said I was going to do this now for the past year, maybe two, but this year I actually plan on doing it. I will likely have the perfect opportunity to do so later this year as part of another resolution of mine further down. Once I do update it and it's once again accurate I then will try and stay on top of it like I used to.
3. Move my gameroom into my own house
I received a fairly big promotion at work earlier this year which came with a sizable increase to my annual salary. More or less I actually can afford a house now and I have every intention of buying one sometime this year. My wife and I are aiming to move sometime this Spring or Summer, but even if I'm unpacking boxes on New Years Eve next year I'll consider this one accomplished. My game room has changed locations many times over the years, but it will be nice to finally have it settled in a place I know it will remain for hopefully most of my life going forward.
4. Purchase my first arcade cabinet
Like anyone searching for a house to buy, my wife and I have certain things we're looking for, and one of mine that she has given the okay on is a large basement, preferably with walk in capabilities for me to finally create my home dream arcade. I cannot express how excited I am to start this even though making it exactly how I want will likely take at least a decade if not longer. More or less I'm going to recreate a 90s arcade I used to go to as a kid and teen, but make it even better by only including cabinets and pinball machines I really like. But to begin this journey I would like to purchase at least one arcade cabinet to kick off this ambitious plan. Depending on when we move and buy our house this might not happen until 2023, but I'm hoping I can accomplish this before the end of the year.
5. Continue building my CIB retro game collection
While I still acquire new games for my collection (mostly modern titles), I have been steadily trying to complete games where I just have the loose cart. This currently includes games on Nintendo 64, SNES, Genesis, and Gameboy/Gameboy Color/GBA. I guess given my other goals that will be a major financial drain, I will be conservative with this goal and say it would be nice to complete 10 of my cart only games by the end of the year.
