My failure to my 2014 resolutions were far too epic for me to bother documenting. I'll slim down my goals here, though, and hopefully attain some or all of them this time.

1. Attain PS level 13.

2. Beat Pac-Man

3. Obtain 3 Platinum trophies

4. Beat at least 25 games

Wish me luck! I think these are do-able.

What does this mean? Kill screen? You get a Pac-Man kill screen and I'll stop harassing you about Resogun.

The game ceases becoming more difficult after level 21. So level 22 is the same as level 21. Level 250 is also the same as 21. So if I beat 21 I'll consider it beaten. Kill screen would be neat but would be a complete rather than just a beat imo. Fair question, though. I haven't decided how interested I am in going for that yet.

And your harassment is innocuous so feel free even if I :c: Pac-Man

1. Spend UNDER $1000 on games.

2. Earn 1 Platinum trophy.

3. Reach Level 10 on PSN

4. Beat at least 10 games in my Steam library that I have not touched.

Victor finds this amusing.

1. Don't try so hard to like games, rather focus on the ones I do enjoy to play, like Hearthstone.
2. Get legend rank in Hearthstone.
