Admittedly, this is a bit early to bring up, but I had a great idea for a tasvideos related New Year's Resolution, and I wanted to hear what ideas anyone else in the community had. For me, my resolution is to rate more movies. I've (and I'm sure others) noticed it's been a little hit-or-miss nowadays regarding people's publications getting rated. So, I've decided to make a commitment here and set a goal of rating one movie a day for an entire month. To track my progress, I'll edit this original post and list the corresponding day and movie that I rated, according to site guidelines. Feel free to join me on this journey :) 01/01/2015: [2469] Genesis Phantasy Star II "warp glitch" by AmaizumiUni in 12:03.41 01/02/2015: [2712] DS Nanashi no Geemu by jlun2 in 54:20.63 01/03/2015: [2669] SNES The Ren & Stimpy Show: Veediots! by jaysmad in 17:32.28 01/04/2015: [2734] Genesis Blades of Vengeance "warps, 2 players" by Kiske in 05:02.71 01/05/2015: [2648] PSX Tenchu: Stealth Assassins (Japan) by NhatNM in 16:34.17 01/06/2015: [2721] GBA X-Men: The Official Game by TehBerral in 13:26.53 01/07/2015: [2683] NES Trojan by MESHUGGAH in 06:14.33 01/08/2015: [2591] Genesis ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron "best ending" by Flip in 49:23.95 01/09/2015: [2748] SNES Mortal Kombat 3 "playaround" by Dark Noob in 22:54.22 01/10/2015: [2561] GBC Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite! by illayaya in 43:05.06 01/11/2015: [2649] SMS Land of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse by Mephistus in 25:11.05 01/12/2015: [2630] Genesis Ecco the Dolphin by Itresad in 20:44.95 01/13/2015: [2697] NES Kyatto Ninden Teyandee by Ti_ & Ferret Warlord in 08:56.65 01/14/2015: [2643] DOS Jazz Jackrabbit "extra episodes" by Ilari, Noxxa & slamo in 14:35.87 01/15/2015: [2714] Genesis James Bond 007: The Duel by Dimon12321 in 11:46.39 01/16/2015: [2726] Genesis Mr. Nutz by Archanfel in 29:13.85 01/17/2015: [2663] NES Bionic Commando "all items" by McBobX in 19:27.16 01/18/2015: [2720] Genesis X-Men by jaysmad in 07:04.48 01/19/2015: [2545] NES Ninja Jajamaru: Ginga Daisakusen by MESHUGGAH in 15:16.06 01/20/2015: [2709] PSX Samurai Shodown II by NhatNM in 17:10.02 01/21/2015: [2654] SNES GS Mikami: Joreishi wa Nice Body by Odongdong in 18:03.62 01/22/2015: [2742] SNES Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie "2 players" by KusogeMan in 27:28.75 01/23/2015: [2657] PSX Castlevania: Symphony of the Night "pacifist, low level" by ForgoneMoose in 21:08.62 01/24/2015: [2668] GBC Oddworld Adventures II by Samtastic & Dooty in 20:03.78 01/25/2015: [2622] NES Armadillo by TASeditor in 18:16.93 01/26/2015: [2580] GBA Doraemon: Midori no Wakusei Dokidoki Daikyuushutsu! by PGCX864 in 26:24.48 01/27/2015: [2612] SNES The Great Circus Mystery Starring Mickey and Minnie "2 players" by jaysmad in 15:57.01 01/28/2015: [2563] GB The Incredible Crash Dummies "best ending" by Flip in 18:13.93 01/29/2015: [2743] Lynx Pac-Land "warpless" by CoolKirby in 25:18.63 01/30/2015: [2744] Genesis Sonic 3 & Knuckles "newgame+" by marzojr & Aglar in 27:31.29 and finally... 01/31/2015: [2754] PSX Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus "100%" by Samtastic & Dooty in 2:08:28.40 I rated a LOT more than these this month, but here I focused on rating those which had 2 or fewer ratings. Man, this month went by quick!

Ah, yes, a drive to rate more movies would be excellent. I'll try to join in, myself. EDIT: My movie ratings are hidden so it wouldn't make sense for me to list the ones I've rated. Honestly, my main New Year's Resolution is to try to get over all the personal issues that have been plaguing me over the past year and "turning me into a right creep", as Zeupar once put it. 2015 will be the start of a newer, nicer Samsara, which is perfect timing now that I've probably sullied my reputation completely!

I can understand you on confronting personal issues. I feel confident in saying that each and every one of us are plagued with them, in some form, when we come on this forum. If you can keep in mind that we're all looking for friendship on here, and to share in this hobby, I believe you'll do fine in 2015. You've been a pleasure to work with in DTC5. I know you can translate that side of you on here :)

Keep up with your grades, Got4n :) It will absolutely serve you well, if you ever decide to go to college/university.

in 2015, I want to stop being lazy and get somewhere with the Gex TAS! I'm a person who really needs motivation for TASing and this year wasn't the easiest for me, mostly because I couldn't find a job. And this month, when I finally got some motivation back, the PC I use for TASing started to die. But right at the start of the new year, I will start my new job. Yes, this means I will have less time, but I feel it can actually make me more motivated for TASing. All I need to start working on the TAS again is to replace the faulty HDD on the PC (no, I haven't lost the data on it, and even if this was the case, I have a backup of the movie). [insert a Gex one-liner here]
Current project: Gex 3 any% Paused: Gex 64 any% There are no N64 emulators. Just SM64 emulators with hacky support for all the other games.

Yeah, movies definitely need to get rated more. For me it’s hard to do so because when I watch a movie, it hasn’t been published yet, so by the time it’s published and I can vote I’ve forgotten what votes I wanted to give. As far as my 2015 resolution… I have boatloads of projects and never finish any of them. Tons of TASes, tons of speedruns, translation work. What I’d like to do is being able to get a nice following on Twitch, speedrun/stream more games and become one of the cool dudes on there. Finishing the AWDS TiS and Tenchu TASes would also be nice, but no promises there.

in 2015 I will put my effort towards finding the barrier skip in zelda wind waker. Then I will perform it on console and get the world record. Then I will make a 100% TAS of Kirby & The Amazing Mirror and a new any% TAS of Mario & Luigi. I shall also do something about my Awesomenauts addiction since it's one of the reasons I haven't been drawing or been productive. As for other things that I want. I can't have them. I want to have people around me and live a fulfilled life but at the moment I can't have these things. I will keep dedicating time to speedrun-related things.

Aside from what I posted earlier, I'd like to finish and submit at least 3 runs this year instead of getting into a run and abandoning it for one reason or another, and I'd also like to get a little more involved in the community in general: Talking to more people, hanging out in the IRC maybe, collaborating on runs since DTC5 has been a blast so far, not accusing people of being misogynists or narcissists... Y'know, those sorts of things.
