My 2010 Recap

Back on New Year's Day 2010 I put down a list of goals for the year and this is how I did with them.

1. Read 12 books this year. - I finished The Age of Ra by James Lovegrove in December and that pushed me to 14 books finished during the year. RESULT:COMPLETED.

2. Hit the 300 films viewed threshold this year. - I watched 31 films in December which brings to a total of 243 on the year. RESULT:FAIL

3. Finish Final Fantasy XII before playing Final Fantasy XIII. - I got bored with XII early on in the year and it kind of soured me towards any JRPGs all year long. RESULT:FAIL

4. Give Shadow of the Colossus and Rogue Galaxy a shot. I finished Shadow of the Colossus and I played a bit of Rouge Galaxy (enough to know that I want to play more of it) RESULT:COMPLETED

5. Hit 75,000 Gamerscore and hit 500 PS3 Trophies. - GS: 75316 Trophies: 550 RESULT:COMPLETED

6. Finish Dragon Age: Origins on the PC. - I gave it a go but it never happened. RESULT:FAIL

7. Prestige twice in Modern Warfare 2. - Yeah... RESULT:FAIL

8. Complete more games than last year (52). - I finished four games in December for a total of 60 on the year. RESULT:COMPLETED
