Just a recap - Goals for 2021.
1. Stay under 7500 items in collection. - Failed
- Way messed up on this and am at like 7,700 now.
2. Finish Resident Evil franchise run. - Failed
- Made no additional progress on this.
3. Finish Sonic franchise run. - Failed
- I've made some progress on this, but on hiatus due to Sonic Colors. Sonic Colors got re-released and I'm still failing because of this game. I managed to acquire Sonic Colors Ultimate, so I'm no longer held back by the fact that my Wii copy is unplayable.
4. Reinventory games. - Failed
- Started packing up games to move, decided not to move, then hurt myself. Between games being packed away and my injury, this isn't happening this year.
5. Beat 104 games. - Success
- Way past this goal and my secondary goal of 156 (sitting at 164)
6. Stream as much of my game challenge as I can. - Success
- I've pretty much stopped streaming because of my injury, I streamed like 50 games this year, so I did good and I'm definitely going to continue once I'm healed, if that ever happens.
7. Play a game from every year from year x to this year. - Success
- I won't list it here, but I managed to beat a game from every year from 1986 -> 2021. Even started working on Ice Climber to add 1985 to the list.
Goals for 2022.
1. Stay under 8,000. I'd love to say stay under 7,800, but that's setting myself up for failure. - Success
2. Finish Sonic franchise run. - Partial Success
3. Finish Resident Evil franchise run. - Failed
4. Play through the new Assassin's Creed games because new games released since I did my franchise run. - Failed
5. Paint shelving units black. - Success
6. Unpack games. - Success
7. Inventory collection. - Failed
8. Beat 104 games. I won't commit to 156 from the start, but if it happens I'll update again. - Success
9. Start streaming again. - Failed
10. Beat a game from every year from year x to 2022. - Success
11. Get one of the last 2 N64 games I need. (ISS2000 and Super Bowling) - Failed
12. Sell dupes. - Failed
13. Sell games I no longer want to keep. - Failed
14. Put together a better setup for Elden Ring. - Success
I got a new portable monitor and it's great. It's more compact, it's a better screen, and it has a fantastic viewing angle.
My wife is insisting we get 2 copies of it so we can co-op and such at launch, currently for DS3 I'm playing on an Xbox One X on a GAEMS, I'd much rather she play on Xbox One X and I wouldn't push her to play on the GAEMS, so something better.
15. Explicitly beat, I don't know, 10 games that have been sitting in backloggery unfinished. Maintain a positive progress index on backloggery. - Partial Success
I've never had a positive year, it's always been more added to backlog than backlog cleared. I'm always beating new games, but some games just get left on the backlog. I want to end the year showing that I at least made some progress on not leaving things sitting abandoned.
16. Do two unlisted franchise runs. [Currently working on Spyro/Crash] - Failed
*Bonus: Start prepping for building my own game barn. It's gonna cost a lot of money, I've put it off for a long time, we have seemingly committed to not moving, so my wife will probably pressure me into starting this. It's essentially going to be a 12'x24' guest house, fully wired, fully insulated, dry wall, air conditioned building in our backyard that will hopefully house the majority of my collection as well as double as my home office for work. This will be complicated as I'll need to have ethernet ran out to it for internet, it'll probably need its own breaker box and it's surely going to kill my electric bill. I put this as a bonus because I don't see it happening.
Will add more if I think of stuff.
