Mirby Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I didn't make any apparently, here are my 2012 resolutions:- Graduate with a first f'shizz - Get a dayum job once that happens - Write an original album for once - Find or start a proper band - Get better at guitar That'll do for now. I'd think something from the FF9 album should be there... Quote
Flexstyle Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I don't make New Year's resolutions, but I do have a few long-term goals that were already in place. - Get paid for scoring a game that gets released (I've been paid for scoring a game that may or may not ever see the light of day, already, haha). - Learn to play guitar with some measure of competence. - Keep ingesting less sugar and play sports more often. - Get my associate's degree and move onto the last two years of college. - Obtain necessary equipment for "full band" mobile recording setup, record some local bands, then make a profit.

For 2012 i want to spend some more time on my own stuff, both original music and remixes. I love helping everyone, but i got like, very little done myself this year. Quote

UnforgivingEdges Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I had a really strange dream last night that I was having an argument with Atomic Dog on the OCR forums. Then I remembered this place existed. So my resolution for 2012 is to show my face around here more often. Quote

UnforgivingEdges Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 ad is banned though Really? I guess it was only a matter of time. Since I have you on the horn, catch me up on everything that's happened at OCR since April 2010, which was my last login. Quote
Nonamer Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Really? I guess it was only a matter of time. Since I have you on the horn, catch me up on everything that's happened at OCR since April 2010, which was my last login. A shit ton of albums were released. Like over a dozen. Oh, and the site still hasn't updated. Quote
Omni-Psyence Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 I actually just posted a blog on this same topic. Check it out: http://omnipsyence.com/2012/01/bring-it-on-2012/ Quote
Jason Covenant Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 For 2012, I'd like to be more reliable. Quote
BardicKnowledge Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 2011 was a great year for both me and Addie. I presented my first musicology paper at "Music and the Moving Image" -- a paper on how the music of Left 4 Dead is designed to communicate gameplay information to players. My resolutions for next year, in order of importance: Pass my Master's exams and receive my MA in Musicology. Write an full-length academic paper and publish it to the web, making it public to anyone that wants to see it. Sing for another OCR track. Start a blog and make an entry at least once every two weeks. Look into the possibility of creating an academic conference focusing on the study of video game music; if it's possible, start one!

MaxFrost Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Late to the party, but might as well chip in. 2011 was huge for both my wife and I, but mostly me. Spent half the year unemployed. Ouch Got Married, with no debt. Yay! Moved to Minnesota with no debt. Yay! Bought a new car. Yay! FINALLY FINISHED COLLEGE. Yay! Commited to MAGFest! Yay! So upcoming goals for 2012 Continue to develop my musical chops, specifically composition and keyboard. Release an original track. Compete in DoD again. Save up and buy a home. Kill off 1/4 of my college and car debt by the end of the year. 70k total to pay off, so about 18k over 12 months. Lose 10 lbs Stay employed through the year. Currently contracted, so small gaps in jobs (1-2 weeks) are permissible. Get wife involved in an online community outside of WoW. Working on OCR, but if she goes somewhere else, that's awesome as well. Stop raiding in WoW, pick up new hobbies. Prep for MAGFest again in 2013 Travel to China or Greece Learn beginner Mandarin Quote
Obtuse Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 -Participate in www.weeklybeats.com EVERY WEEEK! -Get better at using Famitracker -Listen to more music -Analyze more music -Improve my DJ voice for the 8 Bit Power Hour -Eat Healthier -Live Healthier Quote
Swanky Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Probably an easy goal to have, but one that will be very hard to achieve: have a happier life than last year's. Quote
