Three fourths of of the year is nearly behind us. September marks the start of holiday season in the games industry so I did a lot of that this month. In anycase lets look back on what I've "accomplished" in the past 30 days.

Back on New Year's Day I put down a list of goals for the year, let's see how I'm doing.

1. Read 12 books this year. - I finished Mass Effect: Ascension by Drew Karpyshyn which put me at 14 books completed for the year. I'm currently working on The Age of Ra by James Lovegrove. Prognosis: COMPLETED.

2. Hit the 300 films viewed threshold this year. - I watched 27 films in September which brings me to a total of 188 on the year. I made some headway and still think this is a doable goal. Early prognosis: POSSIBLE

3. Finish Final Fantasy XII before playing Final Fantasy XIII. - I didn't play either this month again, so... Early prognosis: FAIL

4. Give Shadow of the Colossus and Rogue Galaxy a shot. - Played and finished Shadow of the Colossus this past month, Rogue Galaxy is in the on deck circle. Early prognosis: POSSIBLE

5. Hit 75,000 Gamerscore and hit 500 PS3 Trophies. - GS: 68260 Trophies: 467 Early prognosis: POSSIBLE

6. Finish Dragon Age: Origins on the PC. - Working on it. I'm about halfway through now. Early prognosis: POSSIBLE

7. Prestige twice in Modern Warfare 2. - Yeah... Um.... Stupid Goal anyway. Early prognosis: FAIL

8. Write 52 reviews (games, films, albums, books, what-have-you) . - I am currently at 44 of 52. I think I will hit this mark. Early prognosis: POSSIBLE

9. Complete more games than last year (52). - I finished four games in September and that brings me to a total of 48 on the year. I think it is going to happen. Early prognosis: VERY POSSIBLE

So far so good. We'll see how it all rolls out.
