Ah, this seems interesting.
Ill sign up and do TV and video games (since those are the ones which has a lower chance of burning through my 16 year old jobless wallet).
I aim to watch around 30 new (enough) TV series and stuff that seems interesting.
I also want to at least play 20 new games although if i can't afford them, ill have 2 games watched (as in seeing someone play them on youtube) equal 1 new game.

I'm in.

Me and a friend both said we would finish it before each other back when we were doing A-levels. He at least started it whereas I haven't yet. However he didn't finish it. I can still win 5 years later :lol:

I'm not convinced that book was ever meant to be read.... :ninja:

At the cinema or just films you've never seen before? For example, on my list to watch is 12 Angry Men (1957) and Metropolis (1927). Whilst there are not "new" I have never watched them. Found them both it is just setting time aside to watch them now.

Oooh which films? I have loads that loads of people have seen but I haven't, e.g. Avengers Assemble. Although that does not really appeal to me.

A mixture of films that I want to see, classic films that I should see and some random wildcards.

So far I've watched Bad Milo, Fight Club, Star Wars 4 and Star Wars 5 :biggrin:

How's your little challenge coming along?

How's your little challenge coming along?

Just the one film that I've never seen before so but it's only day 9/365. There is plenty of time to fix that. :wink:

Still on book 1/52 and should hopefully finish that one soon. Then I'll change series and read some books that are slightly shorter to keep myself motivated. As good as A Song of Ice and Fire is it is heavy going and the books start getting bigger and bigger. Music wise, not listened to anyone new yet just what is already on my laptop.

my two main objectives are going to be film related;
*See at least 52 movies at the cinema, maybe try and hit 100- Maximum Cineworld Unlimited Value :ahee:

my friend and I go at least once a week as we both have Unlimited cards, so turning those trips into double bills is doable.
*Work my way through the IMDB top 100, in order. I've seen a small chunk but I'll probably start at the top and work down. Godfather trilogy this weekend I think!

I'll also be trying to cram in as much quality TV as I can, as well as attempt to start working through my Steam Library of games that have never been touched. I'm not making any specific reading objectives but I'd quite like to re-read A Song of Ice and Fire and the companion works before the end of the year. Between this and my photography resolutions it's gonna be a busy year!

Haha, that's why I'm not setting any specific numbers. I know that I'll overestimate and end up disappointed later :lol:

At the moment, my goals for this challenge are simple:

- Watch as many films as possible
- Read as many books as possible (that aren't a requirement for my course)
- Write more Goodreads reviews
