New year, new thread: what are your personal goals for 2017, MobyGames or gaming in general related?

Here's last year resolutions. For this year, I'll finally get to 40,000 points and maybe a little further. I should also try to write reviews for the games in my collection that don't have any, specially for old console platforms.

What about you?

Same as last year.

On MobyGames, still at least 1000 points again, for the first time since 2013. Preferably while counting less than 250 from electronic covers. Bonus if it's at least 1000 from mobyranks (er, critic scores) alone, so at least 2000 of them, if I'll be getting back to doing that.
Failed by a large margin last year, lowest score after 2010 and most of it from electronic covers anyway, but let's see.

Gaming in general, still finish 5 games. Can't say I have specific titles clearly set anymore though.
Sort of managed it last year, can say up to 6, depending on how you count, so rather the same situation as in 2014, after only 3 in 2015.

Get more than 67 points this year wooooo

Not like I don't have enough to work with, those stupid multi game packs should keep me busy enough.

Also include all the GOG games we're missing. Including cover artwork, wherever possible.

You only got 62p so far ;-P
12665 (ranked 76th; 62 in last year)

It says 67 in my private stats (clicking on my points, then clicking on 2016.) I had some last minute approvals last night, so I guess the profile hasn't updated yet.

I didn't do too badly on my resolutions for 2016. I didn't fix every small bug in MobyGames, but I did do some big things instead, so I'll call it half points. I also met my goal of beating more than six games: in 2016 I beat Dungeon of Zolthan, Spaceplan, Ventilator, Undo, Undertale, Love, Superhot, There's Poop In My Soup, Jamestown, Hero Siege, Torchlight II, Survive in Space, Inside, and Octodad: Dadliest Catch. I even replayed the Genesis version of Disney's Aladdin, beating it on the highest difficulty. I didn't do as well on adding games to MobyGames, but there's always next year.

So, for 2017:

I'd like to keep up the progress on coding for MobyGames, both fixing bugs and creating some useful tools. Maybe more!

I beat a little more than a game a month, last year. I'd like to do that much again, this year.

As I've recently realized that we now have various interactive fiction interpreters available as platforms, I'd like to fill in some of our missing IF titles. Happily, I've got my notes, transcripts, and reviews for quite a few games, so I think I'll be able to make some progress on this goal.

The IF games is a category where a scraper, if allowed by the existing archives, would flood us with lovingly written content.

I'm aiming to bring my points total to at least 20k. Also now that I have a half-decent scanner, I'd like to replace all my old cover scans with higher quality versions.

I reached my modest goal of submitting 9 games last year. I have no goals for this year.
