1. Finally get around to playing Zelda: Skyward Sword. I'd probably like this game right? Right? Well, I've never disliked a Zelda game so it's probably high time I check this game out.

2. Get and stick with a Gamefly account. Money will be tight this year so the idea of renting games is starting to look appealing again. Whenever I've tried a Gamefly account though I've always felt bad about not owning the games that I'm playing and eventually I go back to buying. . . only to sell 75% of the games I buy back to Gamestop at some later time. I need to reconcile that dumbass mentality of mine and start saving a few bucks.

3.  Play one well reviewed game in a genre that I'd normally never touch. I've kind of gotten back about playing in my comfort zone again, but I used to make it a point to try out different games in the past and on occasion it's panned out. That little rule was responsible for why I ultimately played RE4 and Bulletstorm, two of my all time favorites. Then again I need to choose carefully, lest I get another fucking piece of crap like Journey.

4.  Play more multiplayer. I always enjoy multiplayer and have no idea why I don't do more of it. Playing Street Fighter with Leo was always fun, and god knows I loved playing Mario Kart against people (who were far inferior to me). For whatever reason I've barely done that in the past 6 months. Again I think I blame Journey.

5. One way or another play Persona 4. I'm not in a hurry to do so at the moment as Persona 2: IS is keeping me quite occupied, but at some point this year whether it's by picking up a Vita, getting a PS2 again, or by the grace of god Atlus decides to put the original version of it on PSN I am going to play this game.

1. Stop buying every single game that is on sale. I don't need to play everything, I don't need to own everything. My backlog is enormous, I need to bring it down.

2. Never pay full price for a game again. With the deals BB offers and all the other competitors offer there is no reason to ever pay $60 for a game on day one. Well I might fork up $60 but I am for sure getting back a big chunk of that money. Over the holiday season I got halo 4, CoD, far Cry 3 and AC3 for $25 and under through deals and price matching even though I bought them on day one.

3. Don't buy RPGs I never intend to play. That means no DQX, FF whatever, Pokemon or any other game until I play the ones I own.

4. Never buy a season pass again. Total ripoff.

5. Only buy a game I intend to play immediately. If I won't play it immediately it can wait.

6. Finish Xenoblade at some point.

7. Play Endless Ocean at some point.

8. Actually play all the Yakuza games I own.

Don't worry. There hasn't been a multiplayer game worth a damn since Combat.

I plan to stick to the plan I've had for the last few years. Only buy games I want to play, regardless of the zeitgeist.

Only play games that can be deomonstrably beaten, and beat as close to 40 a year as I can.

I hope to have a 3DS by the middle of the year (or whenever DQ7 drops), a gaming PC sooner, and reasons to buy a Wii U, PS4 and new XB before the end of the year.

100,000 points on Killzone 2. Easy.

Write a positive review for Journey when I play it, whether I like it or not. Nyaa

Finish at least 24 games.

Do my best to not buy any game on launch day again. They always drop in price after three weeks, unless a store is run by total morons.
