1.) Stop buying RPGs Every year I go looking for a deep and lengthy game and decide to give an RPG a shot. Then, after like 2 days I remember that I HATE (console) RPGSs ALOT. I fucking hate leveling up, I hate the stupid worlds and I hate random battles.

2.)Find a Jaguar Won't be too hard if 88 can find his.

3.) Get Fighting Street Then my collection of Street Fighter games will be complete.

4.) Finish "815" A book about working in gaming retail. You'll like it.

I'm going to concentrate on getting a lot of shmups this year, feels like its the only genre that really brings tears of joy to my eyes these days.

And I'm gonna try NOT to pick up DW4 for as long as I can.

Here's my New Year's Gaming Resolutions:

1. Actually find an RPG I like this year (2002 kinda sucked IMO cept for Kingdom Hearts which was an action-RPG)
2. Actually beat a GBA game instead of going blind
3. Be able to finish a Maniac song on any DDR
4. Get Xbox live and actually kicks some ass for a change in the 2D fighters
5. Finally beat Jackal (NES) on my own!

hmm, I dunno what I'm planning to do other then wish my mother a speedy recovery (she had a stroke lately). I find this kinda funny that I was willing to drop by a bar after work, but then again, I decided I'd rather not put up with the traffic this time and worked on having my pc configured.

I guess this year, I'm gonna just worry about getting my car paid off and trying to get a few tech classes over with.

The Pile of Shame comes before all else. Sure, I plan on adding some games to it before the year is out (Shenmue II, Zelda OoT/Wind Waker, Mega Man X5/X6, etc.) but I'll do my best to curb the impulse buys. If I manage to find Sexy Parodius or Game Paradise on Saturn for cheap, I don't care, they will be mine.

My gaming-related resolutions are to actually finish all the games I have bought lately, of which there are quite a bit, and to start playing on XBox Live again. I played it for about a week and then took Mech Assault back, and after that just stopped playing Live, despite having Ghost Recon and Unreal still. I don't really know why. When Capcom VS Snk 2 finally stops getting delayed and comes out I will probably start playing on Live again, just to see how bad the TNL fighting elites will beat me down.

spend less money on games...

[Gooch]

- Trim the list of games that I would buy new/at full-price down solely to those genres that I derive the most replay value such as: fighters, shmups/rail-shooters/platform shooters, racers, and online games. All the rest I will buy at reduced prices or used for no more than $29.99. Of course, there will be the occasional exception (i.e. Zelda: WW) but you won't see me buying Red Faction II again in 2003. This leads me to...

- Buy less, rent more. This especially applies with games not listed in the aforementioned genres.

- Try to trade-in or sell games you really have no business holding onto. Like Red Faction II.

- Play online. I don't forsee this being a problem if Live can deliver on the online fighters and racers.

- Try to pick up the imports you've been hunting down sooner rather than later. Games I've passed on under the assumption that I'd get them later either become very difficult to find or more expensive.

1) Stop fucking around with impulse game purchases. Play only games I'm genuinely excited to play and finish them before moving on.
2) Spend less time on message boards thinking about playing and more time playing.
3) Place a freeze on all game purchases until March, allowing me to save for a Gamecube + Zelda + accessories, as well as...
4) Clean up that damn pile of shame.
5) Get an Xbox.
