RMN NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS 2016 (AND A LOOKBACK AT LAST YEAR’S SUCCESSES AND EPIC FAILURES)

First and foremost – happy new year to everyone that’s celebrating all over the world and congratulations on staying alive for yet, another glorious year. (Yaaaay!!!)

So some of you might remember last year that I made a similar topic to this one in regards to personal goals that some people wanted to strive and set towards here on RMN. It was a pretty good measuring stick for the year ahead and provided some clarity about what each member who posted over there was planning on doing that year.

Well, now that year has (almost) come to an end and a brand new one begins and it’s once again time to not only look back to see if a lot of what you had to shoot for was achieved or not but what you’re planning on doing over here in 2016, the year of the red munkeyh. :P

Sooo – let’s see how I managed to fare, shall we?

I’m hoping to finally submit a particular game that I’ve been fixing for a while that I think you guys might know what it is *wink* *wink*

Nope, still not up yet. But, hey, at least some notable progress was made on it throughout the year and it’s getting pretty close to coming back.

and Brian Okam’s Free Throw Challenge

F**k.

I also would love to get to the 50 review mark.

Smashed that one and even more. :)

try to get into the 5k makerscore mark

Yup, I’m there!

do some more articles

I did three, so that’s not bad.

and maybe even write a tutorial or two on something 2k3 related.

Well, shit.

So I guess other than the game related promises and the tutorial related one, I’d say I did pretty good on my promises.

- All right, 2016:

Monopoly / Monopolo:
It should definitely be completed this year. I’ve been working on it pretty regularly over the last couple of months, and progress has definitely picked up quite a bit recently thanks in large part to the influx of new house rules and such. This game has definitely caused me my fair share of headaches and grief over the last two years or so trying to fix the bloody thing up, but it looks like 2016 it will alllll be worth it in the end…

Brian Okam’s Free Throw Challenge:
Well, this is definitely going to get worked on again once Monopoly / Monopolo finishes up. I’ve been “kind of” working on it a bit on the side whenever I have the opportunity to do so, but not as much as I would like it to be... I’m not sure if this is going to be done next year, but having a gamepage up for it would be nice.

60+ Reviews?
I don’t think I’ll be reviewing as many games as I’ve done prior in the past, but I definitely would like to get to the 60+ mark next year.

7000+ Makerscore?
Yeah – why not? Monopolo should give me some much needed pointage when everything gets posted up – and I’m sure I’ll enter another event or two and get some more achieveos from that, so we’ll see.

Anything Else?
Yeah, more achieveos, lol.

Okay, here’s another pretty bold prediction from me, and I know you guys are going to laugh your asses off when you hear this – but get this: Monopolo WILL get…a featured spot... I don’t know in what exactly, but it will…and it will be glorious…

…Other than that, same ol’ same ol’, I guess.

- Alright, everyone, it’s time to put up or shut up. Let’s see those resolutions…
