Well, well...2012. This year means a few different things for myself: 10 years since graduating high school, the whole "end of the world" craziness, another 3 years until Marty McFly goes back and buys a sports almanac that fucks with the space-time continuum. However, this also marks the start of an interesting "experiment" of mine; folks call these "New Years Resolutions," usually. To me this is going to be an endurance trial. For you see, my main resolution this year is to stop purchasing video games.
This includes every type of video game-related thing across the board: physical media (disc, cartridge), digital media, consoles, accessories, DLC...the whole shebang. If it's something I have to pay for, it's forbidden.
As a result of this resolution, I was able to set forth some other resolutions that I hope to accomplish as a result. For example, tackle the backlog of games that I already own; there are so many things I've purchased that I've either barely played or haven't played at all. Coincidentally, this ties in with another resolution - to blog a lot more than I have. Tonight, I formally announce a monthly feature here on One Man's Whatever: INSERT COIN, a look at a game or games from my collection that I managed to play in each month.
Not much of a game fan? Well then, hold onto your hats...I'm also announcing another feature for the site that also ties into another resolution: Booked Solid. Each month, I'll read a book and post my thoughts and feelings on it.
Of course there will also be random posts to the site throughout the year whenever the feeling catches me. Everything new will be posted to my Facebook account for easy access.
To anyone and everyone that reads this, I thank you for taking the time to read my crap. I wish you all the best in this new year, and ask you to please look forward to what I've got coming.
