Slaying Heretics in the New Year

[PanzersEast]

Any New Year resolutions edicts from you guys this year... gaming or otherwise...

I have uninstalled all games and will only have 5 on my HD at one time.  So when I do have the limited time I have to game I am focused.  I am also going to get back to long distant running and complete at least 1 half marathon and possibly commit to doing another full.  I also want to get through my stack of books.....

Here is to a year of Health, Expanding Your Knowledge, and World/Galaxical Domination!

^I ran a 1/2 marathon in 2014. I felt as close to death as I ever have after that...don't think I'll do it again. Still run shorter distances (like 4 miles) 5-6 times a week.

I've tried to minimize how many games I also have on my HD but then I forget what I own...so I stopped worrying :)

I have also made in-roads on my giant book stack, so I need to continue progress.

I also want to attempt to create something instead of just consuming books, games, etc. My life's goal is to write the world's most frightening (in a good way) historical novels. But with two little girls right now may not be the best time for that.

[Father Ted]

I've run a half-marathon every year for the past 8, and am now getting into 10ks as there happen to be a few events near by.

Gaming-wise, I'm determined to not buy anything (save CMFB) this year.  I have a stack of "big-ticket" SP games on my HDD that I want to do justice to plus my go-to MP games, so there really isn't any need to buy the next shiny thing.

And Gus, I also have several writing projects sitting on my HDD waiting for me to get off my arse (or should that be the other way round?) and do something to.

[Gusington]

^Good luck with the writing. I know how hard it is to get back into it once you've stopped.

Running is child's play in comparison :)

[Dammit Carl!]

1. Play what I've got computer-wise.
2. Get back into paper based RPGs in some form or fashion; I miss those geeky days of old.
3. Steer towards a more vegetarian based diet and certainly get outside more - and drag the kids with me whether they like it or not.

I get tired-out driving that far much less running. My goal for 2016 is to play a whole year's turn in Civil War II's Grand campaign.

[Gusington]

^The best goals are the most realistic.

This year I really want to stick to a "Only Buy Games I'm 100% Certain I Will Play For More Than A Few Hours" rule. 2015 had too many impulse 'that sounds vaguely interesting' purchases that I now regret.

Good news is that I can probably count on one hand the number of games I'm genuinely excited about for 2016. And most of those are Paradox games  :)

(I do reserve the right to adhere to a "Buy Games I'm Vaguely Interested In Once They've Been Discounted By 50% Or More" option, as a way of weaseling out of Rule 1...)

Oh yes on this one as Vermintide looks to be an absolute blast and certainly on my list to get at some point.

[sandman2575]

Rule 2 was my absolute undoing during the Winter Steam Sale...  Still, its logic is self-evident and unimpeachable, and so must be observed. At all costs.

[Skoop]

I actually may do this against my will, Installed a new ssd then reformatted the wrong disk and porked my windows install.  Going to a clean windows install for 2016 with only a half dozen games, lets see how long it lasts.

On the topic of running, if your 40 like me, switch to long distance swimming instead of running....your joints and ortho doc will love you and you may avoid a knee replacement somewhere in the next 20 years of your life.

^I'm 41 :/

[sandman2575]

^I'm 41 :/

will be joining you in just a few weeks...   :-\

man, turning 40 was a real kick in the teeth. hit me harder than i thought it would, psychologically speaking...

ah, well -- looking on the bright side... only 40 more years until I can retire... or semi-retire...   O0

[Swatter]

Yep, 40 was a tough one to swallow. I don't really keep track anymore.

[Gusington]

I started running about 4 years ago and have never been healthier! I really do believe age is just a number.
