2017 was a pretty good year for me, personally, all things considered, and a great year for video games. Nothing really changed much for me aside from getting used to my job and having things go fairly smoothly from there, unlike 2016 where I crashed and burned at work, then emotionally, then physically. 

2016 sucked for me. Not because a bunch of celebrities bit the dust or our politics got even more polarized, though that didn't help, but for extremely personal reasons I won't go into. 

I'm honestly a little upset I didn't get one in 2014. I just would have liked to have a Playstation FOUR in Twenty-FOURteen. Oh well. 

Yeah, apparently that was in February of 2015. I for some reason had it in my mind I bought my PS4 in 2014, which would have been cool matching those 4s up, but oh well. 

I got a laptop I used for Steam gaming eventually in July of 2012, but I honestly don't even remember if I was gaming in 2012 or just had to get a new laptop, cause I know I played Fez and Hotline Miami in 2013, but it was mostly getting to the Batman Arkham games I'd missed otherwise. 

So I'm fairly sure I didn't play anything IN this year, but I've cheated a bit to include the games I played at least pretty close to 2011. This was another one of those "transition" years where nothing happened. 

The 2010s? The 10s? The decadecade? 

MadWorld is one I played at this CA's (what SFASU called RAs in dorms) room. It was brutally violent, in cel-shaded black & white and featured really satisfying finishers using the motion controls. This is one of those games that might have driven me to get a Wii if I'd had the money. 

In 2006, the Wii came out and I ... really wished they'd have stuck with the much cooler-sounding-to-16-year-old-me Revolution, but really wanted Nintendo to succeed, and thought the motion controls were super cool. 

Games I actually played IN or at least very close to 2005:
