Progress: 40,000 G
Resolution: 13%
Recently Accomplished:
100% Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection
100% Soul Calibur 4
A new decade in gamerscore. And to close the decade out, I gained an achievement from the resolution list which made Soul Calibur 4 100% complete. All of this, and my TrueAchievement's TA score hit 60,000. So many noteworthy milestones that occured within just a few moments. I'll take this time now to reflect back on the past 10,000 G and inspire myself to reach the next 10,000.
Ach's earned towards the resolution include
-Survivor from Assualt Heroes
-100% Brain Usage from Brain Challenge
-Transcend History and The World from Soul Calibur 4
A few more knocked off the list, leaving 87 more to go. Slowly but surely!
Cheers! and horray for 40K!

Closure
Progress: 38,305 G
Resolution: 10/100
Recently Accomplished:
100% Fable 2
100% Enchanted Arms
Two great RPGs crossed off of the list, and I must say I only really began to enjoy them near the end of their storylines. I didn't appreciate Enchanted Arms one bit when I started it back in May of 2009 (nearly one year ago), but I slowly dug into it and it took until 3 hours before the final battle for me to realize that I love the battle system and the story was better than I thought (although still crappy compared to others, it was enjoyable overall).
Fable 2 was great, once again my outlook was bleak near the beginning but by the time I was at the top of the Spire, I wouldn't have rather been anywhere else. I'm sad to see these two games go, but I certainly enjoyed the time spent on them.
All that aside, I've picked up some ach's that were on the list along the way:
-The One! from Brain Challenge
-Dollcatcher from Fable 2
-Protector from Enchanted Arms
(For the record, the Enchanted Arms ach was a randomly chosen one from when I started the list, and though it's not hard to earn by itself, all the games ach's are secret therefore I wasn't sure when I'd earn it, thus forcing me to nearly beat the game, which was the ach's main purpose anyway: to force me to play the game. It did turn out however to be near the end of the game, I think 84% through.)
I'm not sure where I'll be going from here, be it Star Ocean or The Last Remnant, Blue Dragon or Lost Odyssey. We'll see as time progresses.
And before I forget, because I wont make it to it by then,
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Easy Week
Progress: 36,760 G
Resolution: 7/100
Recently Accomplished:
100% Paperboy [XBLA]
100% Galaga [XBLA]
After seeing the cancellation of Midway arcade games (such as Paperboy, Smash TV, Robotron 2084), I realized I should try to complete all the ones I own before it's too late. Sadly, Robotron 2084 is going to be near impossible, as I don't have the patience for it anytime soon.
On a good note, I did finish off Paperboy. And Galaga. But I guess even though the last ach on Galaga proved difficult for me, I failed to include it in my ToDo list, so only one ach earned for this post.
I've been gaming a lot with Faith lately, mainly Brain Challenge, with a little Doom here and there. With some luck, we'll both be near done with each before she returns back home! Next up, I guess, will be Enchanted Arms (ugh) and continuing Fable 2 (semi-ugh).

Running The Show
Progress: 36,490 G
Resolution: 6/100
Recently Accomplished:
100% Halo Wars
Yes! I've obtained General rank on Halo Wars, and earned the Running The Show achievement. FINALLY. Took many, many hours of dedication and practice.
With that ach', and one on Halo 3, I have solidified my completion of the Halo Universe (that is, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, and Halo Wars) to the 1000th percent. I must say it was a fun ride, Bungie.
Two more to cross off the list:
-Vidmaster: Lightswitch from Halo 3
-Running The Show from Halo Wars
Now to new things, I've decided within my spare time to create a spreadsheet containing a list of all games, sorted by genre, that I plan to accomplish something in throughout this year. I've set certain percent goals from month to month in which I -hope- to achieve. However, these percent markers and goals are not definite, and are probably too hard to meet, considering I'll have to be gaining roughly 5,000 G a month, on mostly hard games to complete (Perfect Dark Zero, Guitar Hero 3, Gears of War 2). This is just a way for me to track my progress a little more indepth, and see how my score grows as I game. I can also determine my strong gaming genres (currently shooter, but I honestly don't enjoy them much), and learn where I need to improve my performance (mainly sports games. Oddly enough, I don't care for them either really.)
Therefore, this list is not to be compared or associated with my resolution and is in no way an actual must-complete goal. I will however give random updates on my % as I feel it is necessary. Also note, not every game I plan on playing this year is on the list, neither is every game I even own.
Game Book List: 37 Retail, 20 XBLA
Total Gamerscore (Earned/Total): 18,995/55,000 (34.54%)
Genres include: RPG (Infinite Undiscovery), Shooter (Halo 3), Adventure (Devil May Cry 4), Sports (Pure), Music (Rockband), Other (Halo Wars, Scene It! BOS), Arcade (Phantasy Star 2).
Perhaps in the future I will elaborate more on the Game Book, but for now thats all that needs to be said.
