I was surprisingly confident about my ability to get it done and I guess the old cliché you can do anything you put your mind to can be true. But now with the goal in mind I had to beat 73 games in 3 months. It turns out I had beaten 172 games the 20 years before I ever started my record of the games I beat, so to beat one more than that would be a chef's kiss personal achievement. Then I noticed why 173 would be so interesting. So what does make 173 so interesting? When I hit 100 games entering October I got to thinking, "We're way ahead of schedule." My first thought was 150, then maybe 183 for an average of a game every other day. That brings us to 2021 and I began this year like the past few, trying to beat 100 games. I would go on to hit 72 in 2018, 95 in 2019 and in 2020 I set a new record with 102. I was trying to get back to that 53 mark, but I set the new unrealistic goal of 1, and I would go on to meet that goal, beating 100 games in 2017. I followed that year up with some down years as I began playing Dota 2. Then I shattered that goal with 86 in 2013. It began with 53, or one a week rounded up for the half week. I also began at that time, setting "unrealistic" goals for myself to beat lots of games. I started recording the new games I beat in a word doc and a spreadsheet on New Year's Eve 2010 upon playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I suppose I owe that to work from home and being done (hopefully) with Dota 2 for good.ġ73 is an interesting number, and I didn't initially set out to beat so many games, until October when I mused that this strange number was in reach. 2021 was by far my most "productive" year in the war I wage with my backlog.
