The house is done and we moved in a little over a week ago. :D The gameroom is currently in an unfinished basement so it doesn't look like much but I am waaay better off than before.

2. Upgrade my soldering equipment so that I can do better/more advanced mods.
Done

3. Make a SNES cable for my multi-console arcade stick which will also allow GameCube/Wii support with my RetroPort adapter.
Done

4. Buy a PS1 to SMS/Genesis adapter and a USB to original Xbox adapter to round out my arcade stick compatibility.
Done

5. Add a Xbox One padhack to my arcade stick by the time I purchase Mortal Kombat X.
Screw it. I am going to get some Brooks converters in order to get Xbox One and PS4 compatibility. http://www.brookaccessory.com/Super%20Converters/list.html I've got a coupon code at FocusAttack.com so I just have to wait for the right ones to be in stock.

6. Purchase a Wii U before Xenoblade Chronicles X comes out.
I had to cancel my Xenoblade preorder because the new house consumed all my spare monies. No Wii U yet either.

7. Purchase my remaining highly anticipated games.
Missed out on King's Quest and Xenoblade Chronicles X :( .

8. Get the last few Sega Saturn fighters that I want (Street Fighter Zero 3 not likely to happen though)
No progress at all on this one in 2015.

9. Put a serious dent in my backlog.
Same as last time. Almost no progress. What little free time I have is mostly spent with fighting games.

10. Sell the games from my backlog that I finish and aren't worth playing again to help fund the above.
I started out strong in the beginning of the year but fizzled out at the end as the new house took up most of my time.

11. If by some miracle I accomplish all that I and still have time & money - break into the TG16/PC-Engine scene.
Nope.


I didn't do too bad this year though I completely underestimated how much time the new house would take up. I'll make a post in the 2016 thread a little later.
