My biggest accomplishment has been getting my website up and running in some semblance of order and functionality. Still tons of edits to do and lots of material I'd like to add. But when I've had time to actually play games, I've knocked off some tactical RPGs, completing:

Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo (SNES) -- Just about to start part II
Just Breed (NES)
Langrisser/Warsong (Genesis)
Langrisser II (Genesis)
Shining Force CD (Sega CD) -- Books I, II, and III
I run the 8/16-bit retro site TimeWarpGamer and if you want to follow the latest updates, check me out on Twitter.

Let's see...

-Buying a PS3 just to play MGS4 (haven't bought any other game since)
-Finally buying (and modding) an Xbox 1
-Playing thgrough all Contra games
-Finally playing a Megaman game (and ending up beating 1 through 7 in the process, and also X for the SNES)
-Buying a VGA box for my Dreamcast

And I think that's all.

I have such a bad memory. I can't think of any games I've beaten besides Iji.

Beating 14-4 in N+. Damn it felt so good!

Reached a top 1000 score in all modes of Pac-man CE leaderboards, including a top 400 score in the main mode.

Finally played through all of Half-Life and HL2 for the first time - still have the episodes to go.

Experienced level 5 in Rez.

Really dug into my first gta game (4) and realized I hated it.

Bought a fully BC PS3.
