Yearly Challenge

The general challenge I'm setting myself is the "Actually Enjoy the Things I Own" challenge. To that end, I'll be trying to get through one of the following each week: video games, shows (or seasons), comic book series (might break this up into 12 issue stretches... essentially a "season" of a series), movies, music albums (including soundtracks, radio dramas, and audiobooks), and books.

Edit: 1/8/2016 - Decided to include foods, although I doubt I'll get to try fifty-two new flavors (which does include beverages) during the year. I won't be adding everything I eat, though... that would be madness! Only brand new experiences (or just the same dish at a new place...) will be going on this list. I'm pretty big on trying different soda, so that's probably going to make up the most of the list.


Edit: 1/28/2016 - Short films count as movies unless they are episodes or chapters within a show or serial.

The below items are to be considered my achievements for the 2016 calendar year, although I got the idea for that challenge in late December of 2015. The first day for my challenge was December 20th, 2015. Close enough.

Also, be sure to click items that sound interesting to you! I'll be linking them out to trailers/articles/wiki entries.
