At the start of a new year I always
like to look back at my new year’s resolutions from the previous year as I do
have the tendency that so many of us do to make such resolutions.
Cutting straight to the point, let’s
look at the resolutions.
#1. Play 52 games.
Status: Complete
Comments: Looking back at the blog
posts I didn’t list this on the resolutions post from January but I always hold
this as a goal for myself. Not only did
I get my 52 games this year, I blew it out of the water hitting the 100! game
mark which I’ve never done before.
Hooray! I believe I was even more
excited for this than anything else since I managed 78 in 2017 and wanted to
see if I could duplicate the achievement.
#2. Finish painting the US Flames of
War Army
Status: Complete
Comments: I did indeed complete my
US army for Adepticon and currently have no US models unpainted. I did predict I wouldn’t finish the Germans,
and indeed I did not. I’ve completed all
the vehicles for them, but have hardly started on the infantry.
#3. Finish painting the Space Marines
Status: Incomplete
Comments: I was gung-ho when I won
that Space Marine army in a raffle and had immediately started fixing it up,
but that didn’t last as I wanted it to.
I managed to, by the end of 2018 paint quite a bit, however I’m still
left with 16 of the 61 models unpainted.
Still that’s 45 models done which is something to be proud of, right? I mean, it’s a fieldable 1,500 point army, so
I can go play in tournaments with it for sure.
#4. Play Local
Status: Incomplete
Comments: This was based off the
Space Marine army. I was wanting to get
more local games in and that was going to be based off going to the local store
which hosts 40k tournaments every month.
In total, I managed to attend a whopping 1 local 40k tournament and that
wasn’t even until November, so nearly at the end of the year. I’m disappointed in myself, but no matter how
you shake it, it’s a failure.
#5. YouTube Videos.
Status: Complete
Comments: Now, while I will say that some of my videos were kind of a cop-out; those being the ones of a video game (World of
Tanks) so not my miniature gaming hobby I still did managed to pump out 17
videos over the course of the year. With
a goal of a video every month, I’d call that a success.
Well, that’s it. I wasn’t quite brave enough to list my
resolutions in January by numbers whereas I did break them up into 5 distinct
goals for the year end wrap here. Going 3 for 5 I can’t complain.
There were also some personal goals that I didn’t list at all which was to be significantly more involved in producing content for the show. I’ve always been really crap about posting to the blog and I had set myself a goal of a blog post every week in 2018. I managed to post 46 individual blog posts this year that were not plugs for the Podcasts, or Videos. That’s 42 pieces that I chose to write up that were specifically for reading. Pretty solid.
Finally, I wanted to make sure that
I put out 2 pieces of audio content every month and when everything is said and
done I managed to put out 23 individual pieces of audio. Now the Extra Episodes often tend to only be
about 5-10 minutes in length, but I only missed one of those over the year and
I did manage to get out main episodes every month. Again, pretty solid results I think.
So, I’m busily working on some more
uniformed predictions for next year and I’m pretty excited to see what I come
up with. Check back next week to see
what I’ve come up with and have a Happy New Year!
