2 New purchases.

Also because I've already purchased a lot more games than I thought I was going to beating 3 times as many games as I bought looks mega daunting so I decide to also make a goal to make 2 times as many

New Goal
2a. Beat ATLEAST two times as many games than new games

In Progress

(I hope I at least break even at the end of the year. I wasn't expecting to buy a Wii U and so many games this year. Thought I'd buy 5-6 maxs so I'd only need to beat 15-18 games to be x3)

3. Under 45 Unfinished games (excluding steam).
Currently 54

In Progress

5. Inside the top 600k in overall rankings and top 12k in Australia in PSN trophies.

Look at my signature for latest rankings.

SEMI-COMPLETE

(After playing mainly my Wii U for a while I've dropped under 600k again. I honestly thought I was far enough in 550k to not go back this far but I was wrong. I'm playing NHL 15 which should bump me over soon)

5a. Get to level 10 in PSN

Level 9 1%

In Progress

(Just hit level 9 this and resolution 5 seem like they could be the only ones I complete this year)
