I'd love to come out of retirement and verify your DK million point game when (not if) it happens.

Also, a gluten-free diet may be a good thing, but a Wagner-free DK Data Library is an absolute travesty.

Let's rectify that flagrant miscarriage of gaming justice.

My main goal for 2015 is to wrest control of my life back from my truck driving job so I can play at least semi-regularly again.  For the past two years I've been working 6-day weeks on average, away from home for much of the week, and when I do get home I am usually too tired to play and need to use the home time for other things anyway.

But I just got a regular shuttle run that, while it will make my average work day longer (11-12 hours on average), will get me home regularly on Friday nights so I can have full weekends again.  I should be able to get home most evenings during the week once the kinks get worked out, especially after winter is over and I don't have to contend with chaining up on the mountain pass that I will be crossing four times a day.

I may not get to all of these in 2015, but that's why they're goals:

Goal:  Mario Bros. - 1M
Current Progress:  895k, where I stopped playing a year and a half ago because of work

Goal:  Congo Bongo - get actual play time on this game I've owned for 9 months now
Current Progress:  no scores logged yet

Goal:  Alpine Ski - get actual play time on this game I've owned for 9 months now
Current Progress:  no scores logged yet; need to cap the monitor first

Goal:  Black Widow - 500k
Current Progress:  362k

Goal:  Centipede - get this damned thing fixed so it doesn't go down again
Current Progress:   

Goal:  Circus Charlie - 500k
Current Progress:   218k

Goal:  Krull - New WR (current is 441k)
Current Progress:   320k, which I got four years ago, so I'll have to start over on this one

Goal:  Moon Patrol - Beat Eric Ginner's golden era record of 740k
Current Progress:   334k

Goal:  Tutankham - get this fixed; I think the power supply has burned out
Current Progress:   none yet

EA I'll be streaming live on my channel a lot.

 

Goal:  Elevator Action - play mine a lot more

Edit: I forgot one!

Goal:  Acquire a Pole Position upright and a Dragon's Lair running DAPHNE
Current Progress:  making room and raising cash by selling a few games

Not sure I want to break off more than that since tournaments and trying new games always takes up a lot of time. Been playing DK at least a couple times a week (minimum once per visit to GGA or Underground Retrocade), and starting to get the hang of it. Long way to go for that KS, though!

I posted some long-term goals in my blog that I've made very little progress towards...so maybe setting some 2015 goals will help light a fire under my ass.

                             DK3 - none
