3. Reach up to Platinum status on EB EDGE for real (5000 points before October), to wave off annual renewal.

4. Beat at least 20 games and complete 15 throughout 2015.

[PoisonRamune]

2) Platinum 1 game on PS3
3) Obtain at least 1 Top 20 regional time on Ultimate NES Remix
4) Participate in at least one Pokemon Championship Series tournament
5) Finish my tester game and finish "Rob Whang and the Quest for More Beer"

7) Participate in an Extra Life charity stream

II. Beat at least 10 games I have never beaten before.

This one's interesting to me. Since I've been keeping track here and VCF, I've beaten 24, 41, and 34 games each year. I don't even record it in the game clear threads or add to my count if I beat a game I'd previously cleared. Is 10 ambitious or comfortable for you? I know you're deeply entrenched in the real world at this point in your life, and perhaps I can't empathize with that very well, but 10 just seems awfully easy.

Last year I beat my resolution of 12 by 19, for 31 new beats out of 58 total beats on the year. So yes, it's mostly easy/comfortable, but I also anticipate having less time to beat new games this year for a couple reasons. We'll see!

[MerlinDrazziw]

Haven't tried this before, so I'll set some easy goals for myself:

1. Beat 2 Zelda games I've never beaten before
   1. Currently working on Skyward Sword
   2. ??
2. Beat a 1st party game on Wii U
3. Beat a 3rd party game on Wii U
4. Beat an indie game on Wii U
5. Beat a game downloaded from Mac AppStore
6. Beat a game on Steam
7. Beat a game downloaded from GOG
8. Spend at least an average of 5 hours on 3DS gaming per month (12x5=60 hours at years end)
   0 hours spend so far
9. Spend at least half my Wii U time on other games than MK8 and Smash
   Easy so far as I've only played Cpt. Toad this month
10. Spend less money on games than in 2014 (games & DLC alone, so hardware is excluded)
    See game spending thread
