I am working on reorganizing my basement and making it into a livable family room and was able to reorder and dust off all of my game systems. My wife and I have been spending 30-60 minutes a night relaxing down there playing games together, or watching each other play. I'm trying to put a bit of time towards gaming, as much as I do my other hobbies. I'd like to continue working through the Legend of Zelda series-- I am currently working on A Link to the Past. I'd also like to add a Switch and a WiiU to my collection this year, so I can continue to collect Mario and Zelda games. I'd also like to start playing through some classic PS1 games like Rayman, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot and Ratchet & Clank.

In general I'd like to spend more time playing my games than I spend collecting them.

Thank You!! :D

Next would be a few different games first and then Half-Life 2 on the Xbox.

I've played the original just so that I can play the sequel. I am going completely blind and have never played Half-Life 2, so needless to say, I am very excited.

It's where my games have always been-- even as a kid at my parents house.

End of January update to my goals:

Beating games:

1. Beat every game I received as gifts in 2018.
As of right now, that list is as follows:
1. Starlink: Battle for Atlas (Switch)
2. Fire Emblem Warriors (Switch)
3. Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (Switch)
4. Pokémon Let's Go Eevee (Switch) - In progress, almost done!
5. The Longest 5 Minutes (Switch)
6. Kirby Star Allies (Switch)
7. Musynx (Switch)
8. Mega Man 11 (Switch)
9. WarioWare Gold (Switch)
10. 428 Shibuya Scramble (PS4)
11. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (PS4)
12. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (PS4)
13. Final Fantasy XV (PS4)
14. Yakuza 0 (PS4)
15. Klonoa (Wii)
16. A Shadow's Tale (Wii)
17. Pandora's Tower (Wii)
18. Sega Mega Drive Classics (Switch) - 11/51


I've been getting stuck into this one - I'm about a 20% through Sega Mega Drive Classics, and I've taken out Kirby too, in multiplayer with my fiancee. I'm on gym 7 of Pokémon too, so almost taken out another.


2. Beat every game I received as gifts in 2017 and haven't yet beaten.

As of now, this list is as follows:
1. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Switch)
2. The Last Guardian (PS4)
3. Gravity Rush 2 (PS4)


No progress on this one yet, need to pick up the pace!

3. Replay some games I've purchased in physical format after originally playing digitally, if I haven't played them since buying them.

Not done any of these yet....



Buying games:

1. Focus gaming purchases on my big name wants list, rather than buying stuff just because it's cheap

I've not really made any big purchases this month, but I still plan to focus on this.

2. Buy less games than I beat in 2019.

I've beaten 13 and bought 4, so all good so far.


Mods & upgrades:

1. Get my PC Engine Duo R modded for RGB output

Nope

2. Learn some electronics & soldering so I can start attempting my own mods.

I bought a book on electronics, but I've yet to find time to actually start on this...
