Predictions, Anticipations, Resolutions: The 2012 Edition

Life is the ultimate RPG and we should always try to max out our stats. While I�m happy with who I am, there�s always room for improvement in various areas of my character. Pushing yourself outside your boundaries allows you to gain experience points in aspects that may be underdeveloped or rarely used, helping to flesh out your persona. Anyways, here are some ways I would like to grow as a gamer:

- Play more games!
I know I technically should be cutting back on my gaming time but I don�t play enough games for the amount of time I play. Too often I say I�ll be getting a game and then never do. I just need to start opening my wallet a bit and expand my library. I should probably try and get multiplayer games around the time they release too instead of waiting until everyone�s moved on already.

- Use voice chat!
You may have picked up on it already but I�m a pretty boring guy. I�m socially awkward at all times. It�s probably the main reason I never use a headset. Well when I�m back home it�s difficult to use chat since I tend to play at night when everyone goes to bed and blah blah blah blah blah. I say it all the time but I�ll try and use my headset more often. I�ll try and be less self-conscious and more outgoing, stepping outside my comfort zone. I guess It is also dependent on whether my roommates are playing or watching.

- Force myself to play single player games!
I know I should only play games I enjoy, or that�s what I say all the time anyways, but too often I give up on a game because I rather be playing in a multiplayer match. I can already feel it happening between Deadly Premonition and Reach. That adrenaline rush you get while competing against other people is like a drug to me. I don�t really get the same satisfaction beating up on bots, though it�ll be a good skill to have whenever the robot uprising happens. Even still, I want to play single player games from time to time. Mass Effect is probably the game I want to play most right now, and I still want to get into the Metal Gear Solid, Dead Space and Bioshock series. I haven�t forgotten about you either, Dark Souls!!

- Host some game nights!
This is another thing I say pretty often but I really do want to host more gaming nights. Friday nights are usually an inconvenient time for me to game, something I�m sure other Dtoiders feel the same way about. I�m not sure what games would attract a crowd but I think hosting it early on a weekday night/late evening could accommodate both East & West coasters. Unless everyone is going to be playing Team Fortress 2 on the Dtoid server because I�d be totally fine with that too!!

- Blog more!
While I�ve never been much of a blogger on here, or more importantly interesting, I feel like I should be contributing some sort of amusement for those who want something to read. I only published one blog all of last year which was just sad. I�m just saying it now though, I�m not paying for your psychiatrist bills when I eventually say too much and scar you mentally O__O

Have a great year, �toiders!!
