Build a virtual reality experience in Unreal Engine 4.

The second one is waiting on a new computer. Soon.

I've think I played hunches of bunches of different games so that's good. The most I did in UE4 was make a little platform with a bunch of shapes to jump on. Buthe I didn't get that new computer yet it doesn't count! Soon.

   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)

Almost end of the year ...

1. failed Started 4 Zelda games that would've met the criteria, but haven't beaten any of them
2. failed? Haven't beaten a Wii U first party game, but I've beaten Metroid Prime for the first time early 2015. Unfortunately, I can't remember if I did it on the Wii or on the Wii U (VC)
3. failed (don't have that many 3rd party games)
4. succes Beat more than one indie game on Wii U (Tetrobot and Co & Human Resource Machine)
5. failed
6. failed
7. failed
8. failed Current average stands at 3h 24m per month
9. succes Total play time: 194h 28m; MK8: 55h 54m; Smash: 2h 29m;
10. succes 2014: € 652.75 > 2015: € 359.84 .. even if I buy one or more games on the last day(s) of 2015, I will have spent less

ad. 5/6/7: hardly play 'PC' games, so this wasn't surprising.

This looks like fun, didn't realize what this thread was all about. I never posted any goals but I did have some I set for myself as the year went on

1. Beat Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy - Failed. Played bits and pieces but still have a ways to go.

2. Beat Fantasy Life - Recentlly succeeded. I barely played it at all when it came out in 2014 so I really wanted to finish it this year.

3. Don't buy a new game until you beat another - Failed. Mostly due to the fact that it was much cheaper to pre-order games this year than it was to buy at a later date, so I constantly got games on their release date. ALso my purchase of a PS4 with 5+ games when I already had enough to play.

4. Finish most games you buy - Mostly succeeded. I have a couple remaining but I actually did pretty good this year in that I finished a lot of the games that I bought this year.

I. Spend at least $1000 on games and gaming-related hardware.
Complete!

This was an easy one.

II. Beat at least 10 games I have never beaten before.
1. 2015-08-16 - Goat Simulator (PS4)
2. 2015-08-17 - Rocket League (PS4)
3. 2015-09-05 - Actual Sunlight (Vita)
4. 2015-09-21 - Picross e6 (3DS)
5. 2015-12-23 - The Talos Principle (PS4)

I also beat Picross e5 again, and a Destiny expansion. As far as brand new gaming experiences go, Talos was great. Actual Sunlight was an interesting experience, but I still haven't fully formulated an articulate opinion of it. It was good to have another Picross—this one was really content-packed! It felt like it took me forever to complete it (which is a good thing for this kind of game).

III. Earn at least 5 new Platinum trophies.
1. 2015-07-25 - Destiny (PS4)
2. 2015-08-16 - Goat Simulator (PS4)
3. 2015-08-25 - Rocket League (PS4)

The Destiny platinum was really hard, and really fun to work towards. Finally completing a raid without anyone in the team dying felt like a real feat. Rocket League was grindy in the sense that it took a lot of matches, but the matches were fun, so it was worth it. Goat Simulator was just a ton of fun in general. I also came close to two more platinums, so we'll look forward to seeing those in 2016.

IV. Get 50% through PSN level 21.
Complete!

I didn't know if I would make this, because I spent so much time playing games I already had trophies in, but we got there in the end.

V. Get to Level 33 in Destiny, and play with a team of at least 6 TONe & friends Guardians.
Complete!

I completed this early in the year when we finally expanded This Old Neon's clan to about 8 people and started raiding regularly.
