Wormskull made this thread in 2015 and it's a neat idea that I hope more people follow through with this year. I know I didn't finish half my goals but it's nice to have them, especially as the new year is rapidly approaching.

here's my current goals

- beat all the mainline Yakuza games (1,2,3,4,5 and 0) before 6 comes out
- get to level 30 in splatoon
- beat DS1 at SL1
- Beat every boss in every souls game before Dark Souls III comes out
- build a working level in Sword of Moonlight

Completed Goals

Plug in my PS3 (12/29)

100% Shantae and the Pirate's Curse (12/30)

Complete E1M1 (1/2)
