I stalled out on beating games (we'll get back to those), but I did manage to at least knock out another resolution lately:

VII. Experience multiple entertainmentpleasures while playing Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age.

Entertainmentpleasures attained: 2.

Sadly, even beating that won't count as a new game, since I've beaten it before. Destiny 2 should be a guaranteed new beat in September, and I have a couple more games on order as well. Platinum trophies might be the tough resolution to fulfill. I only need two, but FFXII and Destiny 2 will probably both be pretty involved.

Beat 4 games from series I've never played
1. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Remastered

Beat 3 games for platforms released 1999 or earlier that I acquired before 2017 (Virtual Console, rereleases, etc. count)
1. The Legend of Zelda (NES, 1987)
2. Mega Man 7 (SNES, 1995)

Enter two Super Smash Bros. tournaments in the Pacific Northwest
1. The PNW Arcadian (5/27)

I made some good progress on my resolutions last night. After several attempts, my fireteam managed to beat the Prestige mode of the Nightfall, earning my last two trophies (including the Platinum) in Destiny 2 and boosting me over PSN level 23.

II. Earn 5 new Platinum trophies.

1. 2017-01-26 Hitman GO: Definitive Edition (PS4)
2. 2017-01-29 Unravel (PS4)
3. 2017-02-04 Day of the Tentacle Remastered (PS4)
4. 2017-10-05 Destiny 2 (PS4)
5.

III. Reach PSN level 23.

Progress: 1% through Level 23.

VI. Get Destiny 2 and become as utterly dominant as I've been in Destiny.

Acquired? Yes.
Dominant? Yes.

I'll still need to beat one game I've never beaten before, beat Wind Waker HD (not likely), and earn one more platinum trophy (likely!) to finish off all my gaming resolutions for 2017.

I just finished off two more resolutions! I beat Undertale and got the Platinum, making that 10 games I'd never beaten before (average of one per month), and 5 Platinum trophies. Not too bad at all!

Completely scrapping some of these resolutions for some Nov 2017-Dec 2018 Resolutions.

Notes.
