I made this thread long ago in a forum far away, so here it is again. Post some goals your working on, weekly ones or something, and try to record you doing them. My goal at the mome, is to get at least one billion points in Pokemon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire, and to get to 70 stars in SM64 by the end of the week. Become the best gamer you can be, little by little or big by big.

Here's some examples of goals from the last thread I did, if your looking for some inspiration:

come up with one for me op and i'll consider doing it but right now the only thing on my mind for the year 2015 is building an epic minecraft castle... which isn't a very good goal i think

Did you do the iron man thing I said about Stalker.

like an ironman run of the game or one part of it in particular

My rules are you play one of the games and you only autosave, you cant store ammo or guns, you have to carry under I think 20kg I think, and uhhh, I guess if the game has upgrading maybe you can but since your going to drop your gun and pick up a new one when it's out of ammo it won't matter. And probably something else but I forgot what.

I intended to do my own run of that for a while but I didn't really have the streaming hardware for it and I probably still don't.

I don't really have any specific game goals right now, but I'm focused on generally pushing myself to my gaming limits and then overcoming them. I just started really challenging myself recently with harder and harder games and while it can be frustrating it's also quite satisfying and cool as you learn the in's and out's of a game.

Having general goals such as these, are sometimes seen as a mark of depression. Good luck gamer.

Alright I'm about to get started on the Pinball goal, and probably will stream it but no mic since I'm going to watch another stream or a TV show or something.

I got a free ball and caught Kyogre... and I'm still on the first ball. Some epic poo poo is going down.

I blew it on this ball. :sigh: Epic 20x lost to the wrong flipper flip.

Around the beginning of Act 2 I stopped getting any items that had the kinds of sockets and life on hit I needed so I feel like if I had at least gotten a upgraded claw I would of done it.
