Did you not accomplish all your 2016 video game goals? It's okay, neither has anyone else. I've made this thread so that you can tell us all what you plan on accomplishing in the new year. Whether it be completing games, designing games, selling games, buying games, not playing games or something else, just let us know. Once you complete a resolution, let us know and make a new one.

Please keep things to three or below. If you want some advice on what game to play, post a few to choose from and we will give you some feedback.

My resolutions:

For me, I have three resolutions:

1 - To play and finish Dark Souls. I have hated this game every time I have played it. I don't like the look or the controls. But I watched a youtube video that struck me as interesting. The basic premise is that by playing DS, one might increase their patience and focus. It seems that going into the game as a means personal growth has merit.

2 - To sell 1/3 to 1/2 of my collection. It's gotten way out of hand, and it doesn't fit in my cabinet any more:

3 - To finish any 2017 game before I purchase a new one. This is mainly focused on the Switch.

I do know what Japanese video game I want to translate: the super obscure Momotarou Dentetsu for the Famicom. It's the first of a thirty year long series of games that had nearly yearly releases and is effectively unknown. Admittedly, I don't think it's a very good game, but it's the obscureness of it that's drawing me to doing it. I hope to be able to translate it over the summer.

I'm curious how this is going to work. Are you going to break it down to the source code to inject the English into the actual game? Have you done this sort of thing in the past?

I started DS a bit early. This is my 3rd time playing. I made it past the Asylum boss finally. This was in part because I finally figured out how to use the stupid Estus Flask. Could probably beat him w/out the Estus were I to do it again. But hooray for me.

Speaking of DS again. I think I might start over. I chose some ring that regens health. Seems useless. Also, not sure I like the knight...he feels slow.
