My unusual new year's resolution is 960 x 1045
Lose weight, re-enlist in the Corps, spend more date-nights with my wife and do something STELLAR for my daughter's first birthday, so that she can look back in photos and say "WTF Dad, I couldn't even REMEMBER that - why did you bother?" "Because it makes your Mom happy, and when Mom's happy, Dad's happy." "Eeeew!"

THAT would be the angle I was going for, aye.

D'ahhh, you!
I never bother making any New Years resolutions. To me they are stupid waste of time that people don;t really plan on keeping. If someone really wanted to make a positive change to their life they should start it right than and there. They shouldn't wait for some arbitrary date to change on the calender. The only reason most people wait till New Years is because they don't want to change that aspect of their life cause it will require change on their part. Postponing it for a later date makes them feel better cause they are "planning" on making positive changes to their life but sadly since they don't want to really do the work the resolutions almost never last.

Be in a band; been slowly putting something together this last month, but we need to actually finish some songs and play a show just see how it all works.
True, but an arbitrary date on the calendar can be the catalyst that gets someone thinking about where they are, what they accomplished last year, and what they would like to accomplish this year. If you completely remove this yearly delineation, many people won't reflect on their recent accomplishments, and review their goals.
"New year's resolutions" are merely a simplistic way to think of goal setting and future planning. Simple enough to comment on in conversation, and for most people to perform without the complexities of really sitting down and going through the whole process of writing down one's ambitions, setting goals to move them towards their ambitions, setting objective mini-goals that will help them complete their goals, etc.
In other words, I think it's better than nothing. However, there are certainly far better ways of doing this than simple "new year's resolutions."

I simply use my New Year's Reslolutions as a "set date" to reach goals that I set for myself. As well as continue "good things" I'm already doing.

I plan to play at LEAST 50% of the game I purchase on Steam.

Damn you're ambitious! I may shoot for about 30% myself, though I don't have Gametap to distract me this year...

No, having someone else play the games doesn't count, we have to do it ourselves. Help would be nice next time I've got a co-op game in the queue, though.

heh. It is all the Steam sales
I usually buy games I have been "looking" for a while but didn't want to buy it yet. When it is like 75% off or something like that, I go "I might as well since I was interested in it and maybe play later"yea..... much later I still have at LEAST 90% of the games I bought haven't played yet (but loaded on my hdd)
Well, I got the paradox bundle from steam because it was cheap as hell... Now I have 30 games to get through >_> It's not like I could play them all at once.

Totally Not Alt Chaz
I resolve to get around to reading Empowered. It's a minor thing, but I have a shot at actually completing it.
Once I get down to a safe weight to do strenuous activities (i.e. so it won't kill my knees/calves/ankles), my resolution is to take up a unique physical activity that isn't exercise for the sake of exercise. Something like fencing, martial arts, or even some type of gymnastics/dance to increase flexibility, grace and rhythm. Spoiler: I am a huge klutz.
Inspired by Calleja and his declaration that necro thread is best thread, I now say to this thread, WIIISE FWOM YOUH GWAAAVE...
I read this Cracked article and number 1 has been mildly inspiring. For 2013 I shall resolve to find something to become good at. I will let you guys know what I'll become good at when I figure it out. Which should be around 2014 or so.

I'd like suggestions on what to become good at, actually. I'm making a living translating stuff and I'm honestly really good at it but... I fucking hate it. With a passion. But sometimes I feel it's kinda too late to acquire another skill. Even if it's not to make a living, even. Just... a hobby that isn't reading/playing/watching stuff someone else makes.
Maybe my resolution should be to start writing again.

I'm going to stop aiming for perfection. By that I mean that I will not freak out if things aren't just so. It's the main reason I haven't run since my leg got better. I couldn't do the 5k therefore I am a failure and should just give up. No more.
Damnit, I was going to resolve to become batman.
I hope you do it perfectly.[DOUBLEPOST=1356579115][/DOUBLEPOST]

You're just not properly motivated yet. We'll toss you into the desert and let you fend for yourself, and trust me, within three months we'll be screaming GARED WAS ABLE TO BUILD IT IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!
