Game reviewer misses his 2016 goals, lowers the bar for 2017
Rory Appleton made some grandiose resolutions for 2016. He lists his failures and successes and presents a toned-down list for the coming year
At the end of 2015, I compiled a list of gaming resolutions – things I wanted to accomplish in 2016. They were a mix of both personal and professional goals, and for the most part, I failed miserably. The list seemed straightforward and simple as I wrote it. But after looking at it with an extra year of wisdom (let’s be honest, 2016 aged us all at least three years), I realised I aimed a bit too high. I am willing to give it another go, but first let’s recognise my failures individually.
I am reasonably certain I did not touch this game in all of 2016. I am sorry, Polish gaming gods. I have forsaken you.
I will not let ranked League of Legends games affect my mood
I pulled this one off for the most part. That’s mainly because I spent most of 2016 playing Overwatch instead of League of Legends. They are currently splitting time, but I can’t say League of Legends has been affecting my mood. Depression, stress, the general state of my country and dating younger women certainly affect it, but not this game. Put one in the win column.
