To be the first to post on this contest

To finally finish my doomsday device and finally take over the wor-! oh wait... no... I'll save that for next year... This year I finally wanna finish FF6, FF7, FF12, persona 3, persona 4, eternal sonata and a whole pile of other rpgs I have stacking up on my bookshelf of unfinished games.

First time commenting here on TR. Fairly new to the site. I praise your resolutions for Torchwood, Doctor Who, and Avatar (by far one of the best animates series produced by Nick).

I resolve to not mourn the loss of the 10th Doctor...by enjoying seeing him all year round on my new calendar highlighting some of his moments!

I vow to finally finish my Jump Start to 2nd grade game i got in 1997.

to achieve the KILL SCREEN!

To stop killing hookers while masturbating to my massive collection of anime toys.

Oh, who am I kidding, if I didn't stick to that resolution for the past 5 years, It's not going to happen this year.

Sorry, that last FFF was the final straw and now my soul is broken.

My next eight Netflix discs are Batman: The Animated Series and The Tick vs. Seasons 1 and 2. Can my resolution just be to get thru those relatively quickly? (a task made more difficult by also finally watching Buffy from season 1 onward)

I think that's sufficiently geeky, albeit not particularly grandiose (or as difficult as any of Rob's last three resolutions).

I resolve to answer the timeless questions, such as "I can haz cheezburger?" "Who let the dogs out?", and above all, "Whose Responsible This?????"

(Yes I know I'm brown-nosing, so what?)

I hereby resolve that Lucasfilm will get no money out of me in 2010. They have so much of it already.

To upgrade my living space and confine my various toys, action figures and other nerd memorabelia behind one dark, secretive locked door.
I'm just so tired of having to turn all my Optimus Prime figures to face the wall when I have teh sex0rz.

I resolve to stop basing my feelings of self-worth on my progress in video games.

I resolve to stop coming back here to read Fan Fiction Fridays. Every week, I tell myself I won't, I shouldn't, I'll just leave with another scar. Yet, every Friday I find myself crawling back to the computer, going to this website, and clutching my knees to myself as I read in horror. As I read the whole damn thing. WHY?

I resolve to take over an entire bedroom with my Star Trek memorabilia and show a picture of it to every guy I go on a date with this year. :) It's best to be honest from the get-go.

To watch all Dr. Who, from the first series from the 60's up to the end of the 10th doctor, so that I may come to an objective conclusion on which doctor is the best.

I resolve to better incorporate my toy and comic geekiness into my model photography. More girls playing with toys.

To finally get caught up reading my comic book collection. There are about 5900 books, of which maybe 35-40 % have actually been read. I may never see the sun again.

To finally complete my transformation from regular enthusiast of comic-books into a full blow acceptance of them as part of my life.

It has been a long transition, as a youth i watched Batman: Animated Series... as a young adult i watched Justice League and read Watchmen before moving onto Frank Millers Batman(s). My latest infatuation is has been reading wikipedia on all of the larger characters and events (final crisis for example).

I think it might be time to bite the bullet and dive into a world i know ive been moving towards for a while.
Now where to start?

I resolve to not immediately click on every NSFW link on the various blogs I read.

I hereby resolve to finally become a fulltime comic book artist. I've got the talent and I fucking hate my job. Onward to drawing dope shit like monsters destroying cities all day!!

Mine is to not drop out of college because of recovery from surgery from getting this fucking tumor removed.

All in one fucking week I find out my arthritis is spreading, I have a tumor, and I have Lyme's Disease, even though I rarely go outside. I live in a metro area for fuck's sake, haha.

I resolve to not make any more resolutions that I know are obvious lies like losing weight or learn something new everyday and instead replace it with realistic ones like get off the couch once a day, or stop watching internet porn until I get carpal tunnel.

To acquire the complete (or as close to complete as I can get) CD series for the most obscure anime possible. I've been doing that already, but with better funds and a focused mind, 2010 will be the year to make that dream a reality.

To finally free myself from the torment of corporately owned comic shop employment, and open my own store, with comics, and blackjack, and hookers

1) Spread the word that Andrew W.K. can bring world peace by partying
2) Read Dante's Inferno, then play said game and pin point the differences.
3) Attempt NOT to cream myself over Mass Effect 2 and BioShock 2
4) Make it to NYCC as an "stress soldier" version of Captain America
5) Win a TR contest!

Get laid.

To have sex (with a real girl)

I'm kidding. I get sex all the time...really...of course..(cough cough)..

I'm gonna go cry now.

I resolve to actually complete my mission of finishing all of the core Final Fantasy games, as well as all of the direct sequels and spin-offs of specific Final Fantasy's. Namely IX, X, XII, X-2, FFXII Revenant Wings, Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus and FFIV: The After Years. Perhaps throw Dissidia in there for good measure. I still don't know what I'm going to do about XI, I'll cross that bridge when i get to it I guess.

My honest to goodness nerd resolution (not a ploy to win a contest) is to finally get rid of the comics in my "to trade/sell/give away" pile and avoid making it bigger with lousy purchases.

Mine.

For the the past few months in my film scripting class there has been this cute "film nerd" chick who has cleanliness OCD, loves progressive rock and kinda gives off a "fred" from Angel sort of vibe.

This chick is so damn awesome and my friend who was in my class with me always called me a giggling fool cause I'd laugh at her lame jokes and for my non-stop talking about her or to her.

I was in that class for 6 months and didn't once find out her name or even ask...till the last day of class which was about 3 weeks ago. Same for her apparently which led to an interesting conversation about us both being clueless but that's what ever...

So here is my resolution Topless Robot. I will ask this girl out, I will ask her out on a date. I'm not saying I'm gonna go far or whatever devious crap most people wan't. I just wan't to go out on one date with this girl that makes me turn into a confused idiot every time I see her.

Is that really asking for much?

to only buy 1 transformer a month

Finish writing and drawing my comic book.

I resolve to save money by not buying the official game guides to games I don't have so that I have light reading for the bathroom.

Seriously, I need help. I don't trust reviews much more then I trust the LIES of video game previews, so I buy and read the game guide, and then decide. Please help me. Get me therapy, have an intervention, anything.

I resolve to wear pants.

my new years resolution is to get my first girlfriend in 2010, i am 22

I vow to finally beat FFIX, which I have owned for almost a decade and never completed.

I've started over about 5 times, always got to the end of the 3rd disc and either forgot I was playing/got a new game/got distracted. I think it's time to break out the PS1 one last time and finish this.

My resolution? To find "Mr. Right". No, not "Mr. Right Now"...i'm looking for more than a one night stand or "fuck buddy". I'm not asking for much, really. He has to be...
1) Smart- not Einstein, but smart enough to discus the Randian themes of "BioShock" or whether Data should have the same rights as a living being does.
2) Funny- a guy that can make me laugh and not be super-serious all the time.
3) Geeky- Must love the idea of going to comic cons, and holding hands as we hunt down old school Transformers or dive thru quarter bins to fill in the gaps in our comic collection.
4) Look like Kevin Smith, Zach Galafinakis, or Tyler Labine. Hairy, geeky schlubs are my cup of tea! (FYI, I get mistaken for Kevin Smith A LOT).
In short, as the late, great Freddie Mercury sang, "I want somebody to love". That's my New Year's Resolution for 2010.

p.s. Good job getting started on Avatar! It's what inspired me to go to art school and learn animation! :D

To actually leave my computer and go outside for once.

My resolution is to dress up my boyfriend and I, as the gayest nerd couple, R2-D2 and C3P0, for Halloween.

I want to try beating Tlaes of Legendia, Dragon Quest 8 and Kingdom Hearts Chai nof memories all of which for some reason I got to the final boss in and then quit when he kicked my ass 20 or so times

To stop reinacting "Two Girls and One Cup" to the local Mormon Church Group!

My NNYR (Nerdy New Year's Resolution) is to stop being so obsessed with Futurama. I watch a disc of Futurama, normally with commentary, almost every day. I know more about Futurama than I do about some of my close friends.

After today, I will severely restrict my Futurama intake to maybe once a month. Being without cable, I can't exactly make a general schedule.

My new years resolution is to catch up at least somewhat with the last 15 years of pop culture. As I have not had cable in that long.

Honestly this will likely be my 2011 new years resolution as well.

To watch every episode of sailor moon in both english and japanese and then drive my sister and husband insane with non-stop talk about all the differences and theories on why the american version changed things so much. And hope that my husband doesn't divorce me.

I am going to find how to justify my new iPhone by organizing my life, not just checking blogs and playing fieldrunners.

My new years resolution is to thrust the front of my steel toed boot squarely into the nutsack of every asshole that mentions that shitty fucking Final Fantasy 13 game to me, whatsoever, in any context throughout the entirety of 2010.

To turn my newborn son into a nerd just like his dad but also teach him Jiu Jitsi and Muay Thai so he can kick the shit out of everyone that tries and make fun of him.

www.slycomics.com

When I make an awesome geek reference and someone looks at me like I'm weird, instead of trying to explain I'm goinna shake my head and make sure they know they're the oddball for not getting it in the first place.

To wear my thigh-high, and over-the-knee socks with pride and celebrate my absolute territory.

To pick up at least three series every anime season and, at their completion, review them in a timely manner, goddamnit.

my resolution is to cut down on buying so many 33/4 figures for four lines are killing my wallet

My nerd resolution for 2010 is the free myself from some of the shackles of nerdery and get some pussy this year on a regular basis. This once every five years shit isn't cool.

Oh, man, I am NOT buying any more tabletop RPGs in 2010. No matter how cool or tempting they may be! I think I bought more than 10 new games this year (and I don't mean supplements, I mean core rules systems). I spent more than $400 USD (probably between $450-475 CAD, depending on the exchange rate at the time) just at IndiePressRevolution.com, plus probably another $100-$150 CAD at bricks-and-mortar game stores. I've played... oh, maybe 1/3 of what I bought this year. And tabletop RPGing is a relatively cheap hobby. I'm glad I didn't get into, I dunno, Warhammer, or RC airplanes.

I loves me some tabletop gaming, and I have one weekly group on the go, and another one that fell apart and we're trying to resurrect, and I've participated in several playtests now, but really, this has progressed beyond "hobby" and into "problem."

To stop believing that "The Omega Man" is one of the top science fiction films of all time.

'Cause, while its not a bad film, its not that great.

Except for Heston's teeth. Those are the top teeth in any science fiction film.

My resolution is to increase my resolution, Yes, I am finally gonna use some of my alcohol funding to buy a decent TV and see if this HD thing is legit or a buncha hooey intended to pry me away from my beloved intarwebs.

My Nerd New Year's Resolution is to watch all Star Trek episodes, in order, from TOS to DS9 before 2011. And to watch at least some of them with my Voyager loving semi bald boyfriend. During which I will dress up in a slutty Captain's uniform that barely covers me even with the Picard Maneuver.
And at the same time while I tell said boyfriend to "make it so." Oh resistance is so futile....

I resolve to finally watch the full run of Sapphire and Steel so I can discuss it with my mom, since she really loves the show and wants to hear what I think about it. She even sent me the DVD box set as a gift. (I'm interested in seeing it, but have never seemed to find the time.)

I'm lucky to have a mom who shares my nerd love for SF and fantasy, and it's time I really appreciated my good fortune.

I resolve to own of copy of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II that will not be a part of my collection. They will actually be with me so I can watch them any time I want.

I resolve to finish my fanfic within the year.

I resolve to stop pondering when a remake for FF7 for the PS3, cause it's probably not going to happen cause I'm just not that lucky.

I vow to be here each and every week, suffering through Heroes and the live-blog. And, I will do it sober

To actually being building a Tom Servo replica from Mystery Science Theater 3000. I have bought most of the pieces, yet have been too lazy to actually start the work up and do it.

too hunt down the serenity comic "Those Left Behind" and purchase the serenity pen an paper game, and to make new friends to play said pen and paper game

I want to make it through an episode of Stargate Universe without wanting to punch a small child in the face.

I don't know if this will count but my resolution is to celebrate as many celebrations as I can over the next year. I will be blogging about it and hopefully filming it. This means that I will celebrate everything from Thanksgiving to Answer Your Cats Questions Day. I think I was just sick and tired of people asking me to do something with my life, and so I decided to do this to show them.

As I said, this probably isn't nerdy enough to win, but perhaps an honorable mention if Rob, the cruel and vengeful god that he is, decides to look favorably on me

To watch all the episodes that feature the Joker from Batman animated series, the Batman, Batman: Brave and the Bold and Batman Beyond
( I'm pretty sure he return in the Movie ).

I want to find where it is you exchange your karma points.

I've earned enough for either the deluxe 14-piece set of steak knives, or to be reincarnated as a real-life incarnation of Captain Smoker.

I promise to not to make my cousins cry when explaining DC history to them...again.

They refuse to listen anyways. I probable shouldn't have started with Superman dying.

I am going to watch all of Classic Doctor Who, except for the three seasons I have already watched, all of Star Trek (except the one season of TOS I have watched), get into comic books properly instead of just reading occasional graphic-novelised compilations, watch all of Battlestar Galactica, and make a real effort to be as accurate of a cosplayer as possible for Hallowe'en.

This is all one resolution - it's to be a better nerd.

I am going to finish watching all of Gin Tama before March. This anime is really funny.

To finally get my girlfriend to read AND enjoy a comic book. The girl hates reading and thinks comics and other such nerdery are sin-incarnate, but enjoyed The Dark Knight. An impossible task, but one I must do.

I resolve to win the Powerball and use that money to make a GOOD live action "Transformers" movie.

I want to make more time to play video games and finish one for once.

To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations... outside my room I call Heaven.

There's an awesome nerdy girl who likes me, and I really like her... trouble is, I've got no self-confidence with that sort of thing. My resolution is to ask her out before my window of opportunity passes.

I could've listed other things that are more traditionally nerdy like read all 38 Discworld books so far, collect all available classic Doctor Who serials, etc. but I'd rather have this person by my side to do that with... I don't care if I win, I just wanted to share that with you folks.

Happy New Year!

To finally set up my display case that I have been procrastinating on the past four years to show off my busts and figurines of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dragon Ball Z and random comic and anime characters.

My resolution is to hate popular culture more.

I resolve to publish my webcomic like I've been promising for the past eight years. The kids are old enough, school has let up enough and the timing isn't ever going to get any better. If I fail or succeed at least I can say I did it.

Next year, i will not spend new years reading nerdy and kpop blogs on my phone in the car while my sister and her husband are inside the house doing...party-like things. next year i will go inside......damn, my bro in law sent his younger bro to bring me a coke. i am a loser. a cold, cold loser.

To stop spending $100 a week on comics and use the money saved to bribe someone to finally put out a Daria boxset. Seriously, hurry the fuck up and release the damn thing!

I vow attempt to have more real life social contact with people then my playstaion 3 and wii

I know its not funny,and its totally cliche but man...I've got to loose some damn weight. I am a fat fucking nerd. I'm not even trying to win the shirt,cause odds are it wouldnt fit me. I'm tall AND fat so I already have to buy my clothes at stores that stock nothing but russian army surplus and used circus costumes. I'm giving up soda,caffenine,and most sweets for the first time in my life starting tomorrow,and god help any poor bastard who pisses me off between now and whenever I finally snap and break my diet. Its possible I may try and rape a soda machine sometime in the next few months,so be sure to keep an eye on CNN.....

I resolve to strike a balance between maintaining a social life and maintaining a gaming life. I can't have one without the other, or I would go mad and begin writing FFFs to strike fear into the populace.

To write, compose, and record a rock opera based on Jack Kirby's Fourth World saga.

It will be 15 hours long and feature only guitar feedback, accordions, French Horns, 70's porn bass, Celene Dion screaming the word "rape" 13 times a second(World record), and a sitar being burned. All this will be accompanied by Morgan Freeman's voiceover, in which he reads the comics aloud. Verbatim. He does the voices. I don't think it'll fit in the 15 hours.

I resolve to get a short story published in a magazine, by hook or by crook.

I promise to finally build a book case entirely for my comic books and action figures.

My poor Nightwing figure has been sitting in a Sterilite container for Yoda knows how long.

To finally finish all the random eroge's and doujins i've downloaded over this past year but have yet to look at.

To get back in super shape.
Really make something of myself in the art world.
Grow my hair and beard long again.
Get my website up and running.

Ima stop beating it to the FFFs. The sobbing is making my neighbors fear for my health.

Oh, and also, I swear I'll start reading the rules for these contests more closerly.

i resolve to get better at crochet so i can make g.i. joe arigurumi

I'm gonna regenerate, become a new person.

Well, my resolution is to make more money, but then I would have an excuse to go the movies. It was the only excuse I had avoid Transformers and GI Joe, which left my soul intact...

I resolve to better evaluate whether people I'm speaking with will really want to hear my rants about Android phones, the works of Grant Morrison, and the proper use of "begs the question."

to know the sweet touch of a woman.

I resolve to not take it personally when my husband gets a new game and spends a week solid beating it - ignoring all other things, not coming to bed, skipping social plans etc. (Thank you Assassins Creed 2) He only does it once ever 4 months or so and I always know where he is!

Start playing the video games I've been collecting over the last 12 months. I have more sealed games then open ones.

Get all achievements on Left4Dead2 to truly celebrate my geekiness. Then stop bragging about getting all the achievements cause no one cares.

Drink more scotch.

To make it nerdy I'll play video games and watch scifi while drinking.

My resolution is to be a little bit nicer to the boys who think that it is so cute that I "play" video games, they don't deserve to have their balls handed to them on a ps3 platter just cause they are ignorant that chick can kick so much ass.

I resolve to look at less necrobestiality on my work computer, then blaming it on the janitor. I realize I would not do that.

To not let my nerdish habits get in the way of my nerdish desires.

There's a lot I want to do that I could find the time for if I just adjusted my routine a bit. For example, sitting around playing Portal is great, but it limits the time I can work on my book. Watching old kung fu movies and Batman cartoons is awesome but it cuts into the time I could be working on my homemade Discworld RPG. I could reread Mike Carey's Lucifer but that would keep me from updating my site, I could sit around listening to podcasts or I could be working on my iRiffs project for RiffTrax...

I think that we let what we love get in the way of what we want too often. So that's my resolution: to not let being a nerd get in the way of being a BETTER nerd, and a better, more productive person.

I resolve to stop making fun of you people in public and then sneaking off to b&n to read comic boo--I mean, graphic novels (and related, to admit to reading blogs like this on a daily basis).

my resolution is to finish all the movies in my netflix queue (321 dvds, 95 instant), all of which are anime, scifi, fantasy, etc. my poor, poor roommate....

To finally read ALL of the Discworld series and the rest of Hitchhiker's Guide.

To watch every dvd I own that I have yet to watch yet. A bunch are still in shrinkwrap.

To exercise extensively so I can portray Tim Drake accurately in cosplay. Oh yeah, and I'm a woman. Twice as hard!

I resolve to make the world, or at least my local game store a better place by sharing my knowledge of personal grooming with my hygienically challenged geek brethren, and distributing personal care items to them whenever the situation warrants it, and my funds allow. Perhaps one day we can eliminate the foul odors, and geek and non-geek alike will be able to live in harmony.

My Nerd Years Resolution is to actually complete Superman 64 as an ode to the worst game of the last 20 years!

My resolution is to use more gravy

NO MORE CRAZY WOMEN... NO WOMEN PERIOD... AND NO GAY STUFF... JUST ME, MY PORN AND TOPLESS ROBOT.

Your resolutions
Are very admirable.
I wish you all luck.

I wish you the best
With dating and dieting,
Getting off the couch....

But comics? Movies?
Role-playing or collecting?
Not to do with me.

I firmly resolve,
That come hell or high water,
That it will happen.

I will not settle
For honorable mentions.
I've plenty of those.

Do not get me wrong...
I am extremely thankful
For my achievements.

But it's quite over due:
My awesome haikus will win
A GODDAMN T-SHIRT.

I resolve to fly to Hollywood and KILL Micheal Bay. I will Slaughter him so he won't pervert anymore of our childhood memories with his mindless explosions or his hard-on for military vehicles, and dumbass story telling. I personally plan to pull a Jigsaw on his worthless ass, a nice, slow, ironic, and painful death. I'll even make sure to sodomize him with the Devastator toy, he wants balls on Devastator I'll show him Devastator's balls. No longer will I sit idly by and let this asshole bastardize our favorite shows, game, and comics to make a buck! Micheal Bay will finally be stopped so says RANDO!!!!

I resolve to embrace my nerdery and no longer hide it from my new grad school friends. When they ask if I want to go out drinking with them, I won't make an excuse, I'll just admit that I'm at home watching Star Trek :D

I resolve not to yell PENIS!!!! when ever I see a body-painted Trekie.

I resolve to not throw dice at my boyfriend's head when he being a rule nazi about a character class he doesn't play. I KNOW HOW TO SMITE EVIL, HOOKER!!! Didn't see your dwarven ass take down the white dragon....

My New Years resolution is to actually fini-

I resolve to improve my wardrobe. I mean, I love my Vitruvian Voltron and Deathscythe shirts and my Slytherin house scarf which I wear as my everyday scarf (five New England winters and it's still warm!), but does all that express the depths of my nerd-dom? I think not!

Therefore, I resolve to scour the depths of my closet and skulk the nearby Goodwills and consignment shops, in an attempt to do my own version of Steampunk. My own version meaning if I can add a little pirate or Final Fantasy flair to what I find, so much the better.

Now, off to find some goggles!

To read one Fan Fiction Friday without touching mys....
I mean finish watching Samurai Champloo.

This is the easiest resolution I've ever done.

I'm going to finally catch up with the rest of the nerds of the Internet and WATCH Doctor Who. I've never seen a single episode. I'm a fan of British shows and Sci-Fi but have never figured out where to start, and keep putting it off. This year is my year. Doctor Who, be ready...I'm coming for you (for reals this time!).

To move out of my parents God damn basement.

Posted on Facebook: I resolve to post more or less comprehensible status updates.

To find someone, anyone, who will watch my new Thunderbirds box set with me. Am I the only one who loves old british tv shows with creepy puppets? :(

If I didn't care about being able to follow up on the resolution, I would make one to not get back into the WoW addiction when the Cataclysm expansion comes out (it gots werewolves, dammit).

In a more realistic view, I resolve to :
Be able to maintain my social life and IRL responsibilites when I am sucked back into WoW-hell by Cataclysm

I resolve to protect the world from devastation, to unite all people within our nation, to denounce the evils of truth and love, to extend my reach to the stars above!

join more RPGs, and get a Sonic the hedgehog level editor to create a flicky game with!

...Build a Tardis, save Masi Oka from the travesty of "Heroes" and take him as my companion. Travel the universe happily ever after.

...Don't judge me, damnit. We've all got dreams, mine are just a little more shame-filled than others.

I'm an unemployed, 32 year old, recovering alcoholic with crowning man boobs.
I spent New Years Eve alone, reading lists on Cracked and eating hot dogs. No one called me or invited me to a party. Not even a shitty party.

Based on this, my Nerd Resolution is to change this shit around. This year I'm gonna nut up and go outside and meet people again. I'll try to get back in touch with my former friends, apologize for some of the dumb shit I've put them through and get back into RPGs and having a social life again. Fuck, just leaving this chair would probably do wonders for both my health and my rapidly expanding masculine(-ish) frame.
I don't want to be alone anymore, and I'm the only one who can do anything about that.

To get the flux-capacitator going, jump in the DeLorean with Doc, and go back to circa 1997 to stop Lucas from creating Jar-Jar Binks..

To finally watch Battlestar Galactica...
What? Don't look at me like that! Having missed the first episode, I decided to wait until I saw it before watching any others, Then things just snowballed from there. Then I went on the "I am not a sheep" tv strike and... Anyways, yes... um on blu-ray.

To stay out of Malibu.

To save up enough money to get my husband a nice sword and shield for his office as a present when he graduates with his Masters in video game design this year.

I resolve, as a teenage nerd, to avoid getting knocked up at band camp; the sexiest place on Earth.

My resolution is not do any nerd over reaction like crying, screaming like a little girl, cursing, laughing, ... when watching the final episode of LOST.

And not going immediately after the end of the final episode to a Lost forum and talk about the series finale.

Well i hear every year the same resolutions, lose weight, get richer, take down the evil tyrants that control Disney. but my resolution is smart, this year i want make it the worst year ever.... now i know it sounds horrible, but here's the good part, either way I win!! one way all my friends leave and i become homeless and i accomplished my resolution. OOOOOOOR if i dont accomplish my resolution that means i had a great year. I BEAT THE SYSTEM!!!!! Oh and i want to bang Megan fox. i win either way too. I bang her, oooooor i dont and save myself from herpes. cuz i mean with a body like that every guy has dipped their swords in the love cave. ://

I resolve to finally finish all the Lego games on the 360.

To stop watching some guy reinact "One Cup and Two Girls" at the local Mormon Church group... too bad he's so damn good... playing both parts AND the cup is no small feet!

I resolve to stop punching people in the face when I hear that they liked the Phantom Menace

Hmmmm.... Decisions, decisions....

Well, since I no longer have a job, I resolve to spend every waking minute at home glued to my computer, watching the entirety of "Doctor Who," from Hartnell to Tennant (and now Smith, who looks like the drummer dude from "That Thing You Do") in massive marathons. Not even the bathroom can stop me from my Whovian antics, as I have a laptop and will take it with me.

I've got about sixty to a hundred gigs of Who on my hard drive. Bout time I did something about it.

My resolution is to keep on ignoring my resolutions from the year before.

My New Year's Resolution is to expand my creativity while I quit smoking and losing weight. This involves me knitting my own Dr. Who scarf and making more of my D&D necklace/earring sets for my jewelry store, FireWire Jewelry. Even the name itself is nerdy, that's gotta count for something.

My resolution is to stay up-to-date with all of my geeky things. That means being on top of the anime I watch, comics I read, and games I play. I always let them get away from me and then suddenly I have 10+ hours of anime, 50-60 comics sitting in a corner, and like 7 games unplayed.

I will not read 800 comments about when the decade ends or begins. I know we are all nerds here but get a life. Get laid. Go to a bar and talk to women. As a woman, I promise you it's not that difficult.

I will spend less time on the internet wasting time.

To finally make Tony Isabella retire from writing shitty comic books.

To finally find out whose responsible this!

There are a group of masochists on the Internet that are connoisseurs of bad fanfiction; I am one of them. Needless to say, Fan Fiction Friday is a delight, as it shatters any pleasant hopes for the weekend with its inane, poorly written stories written by desperate basement dwellers.

One day, I tried to submit a fanfic I picked up - "Girls of Hyrule Stories". I waited patiently for several weeks, yet the snark never came. I was enraged and depressed until Fire Emblem calmed me down.

Yet it is now my mission to get a section set up on Topless Robot where people can submit their bad fanfiction - even if it isn't posted on the site, other people can post trauma-inducing fanfics. Who knows - a fanfic one glosses over can be another person's Pokemon story.

And I'll spam Rob until this happens.

To pedal over 5686 km this year.

How is that geeky?

Well, it's the (approximate) distance from one end of the Hellas Basin to the other, to the Proctor Crater, to the Kaiser Crater, and to the Roddenberry Crater on the surface of Mars.

This is a revision of my resolution from last year, which was a revision of a resolution from a previous year:

I resolve to not bend over at work and tear out the seat of my pants--for the third time.

I resolve to finally read every single bit of work in the DC Comics Crisis anthology as well as finally catching up with Blackest Night so I can follow it in the issue form (instead of waiting around for the volumes like a sucker).

My Nerd Year's Resolution is to finally beat the first Ninja Turtles game on NES. That game's a bitch.

Find a geek that hasn't got an ego the size of a really big object and go out with him. That's impossible in Scotland though. Every geek I've meet here (meaning that I'm sure there are many nice geeks in other countries) have no idea how annoying they are and yet wonder why they don't have girlfriends so I'm left without a boyfriend as I'm too geeky for most guys and geeks (in Scotland again, I'm not meaning nice geeks from other countries) don't think I'm good enough for them and their huge ego.
Really, my resolution is to get a boyfriend but I don't think that's geeky enough so is a rant about snobby (in that no one is god enough for them), Scottish geeks geeky enough? Probably not....lol
Note: I'm not meaning all Scottish geeks either, just ones my age and that live near me. Just so I don't get anyone's back up ;-)

to stop trying to get people into Doctor Who

To start living a somewhat normal life.

I resolve to stop getting into Star Wars vs Star Trek debates that degenerate into thinly veiled insults... and then inevitably collapse into nerd on nerd fist fights. And for the last fucking time, the Empire would totally destroy the Borg.
FUCK.

I resolve to do something about how I prioritize the way I budget my money. Things like rent, groceries and credit cards should be paid/bought BEFORE I buy more comics, movies, video games and Star Wars action figures.

I resolve to stop just bitching about Last Airbender movie and actually protest it to discourage people from seeing the movie at the doors.

stop telling everyone to watch Sarah Connor Chronicles in hopes that they will like it and make a massive petition to bring it back on to tv again.

I resolve to stop screeching at my friends/television presenters/random people on the street when they call The Doctor Doctor Who.
Actually, no I don't. IT'S THE DOCTOR YOU FUCKTARDS. I DON'T CARE IF EVEN CATHERINE TATE DOESN'T KNOW THAT HIS NAME IS THE DOCTOR. IT'S THE DOCTOR, AND I AM GOING TO KEEP SHOUTING THAT AT THE WORLD UNTIL IT SITS DOWN AND FUCKING LISTENS. So..err...yeah.

My new years resolution is to keep 1 upping myself. You see I hope to be a movie director (though I'm not a film buff and almost never go the movies theaters... blasphemy?)and eventually get into games (I want to be the first to create a joint game and film studio... wish me luck). It's actually no small feat upping myself since most of the stuff I've written... well I'll give you an example and you decide how awesome it is:

This is a scene taken from the beginning of the climax of my movie as the main character faces the main antagonist, on an around 1 mile long airship miles in the sky. Just so you know, it's supposed to be a motion capture movie and should look sort of like Beowulf.

The camera is at first showing Zades' point of view in color as we see a huge number of jets close in behind John and then engage all the enemy jets that surround the airship. The view then switches to black and white and it slowly rotates right and we see the wave of fighting moving farther and farther back the entire time the camera rotates. At 90 degrees to the right, the view pans up and jets pass right above John and Zade. A fraction of a second after they pass we hear the roar of their engines and a little bit after that, the sounds of the distant explosions. By the time you get to the left of Zade you can see what looks to be 3 suns caused by a phenomenon involving the ice-storm. Then the camera comes full-circle, switches to color and we see John again. As each person speaks the camera is set in the eyes of the one being spoken. The 3 suns are midway between them.
(In every background for the rest of the climax there will be dogfights)
JOHN
Could you have picked a more dramatic place to fight?
ZADE
Not even if I tried...

The thing is, I'd rate that an 8/10 in awesomeness compared to everything else in my screenplay... It also all happens in around 5 seconds.

And if you don't give me a shirt Rob I'll never talk about my ideas here again... because they aren't even worth that to you...

My Nerd Year's Resolution is to not develop first person shooter syndrome from Fallout 3 and Dungeons and Dragons Online, neither of which I paid for, except in friends, sex, and body mass. Wish me stimpacks and gold coins... I mean luck.

I resolve to sell SAL-9000 the truth the FIRST time she asks me a question, even if that question is "Will I dream?"

I'm going to do my best to read up all I can (in lay terms, Greene style) on Heim-Dröscher-Häuser Theory, so that I can explain it in graphic and excruciating detail to my baffled loved ones. Better yet, do so in German (the local language where I live, and not my native one), so I can inflict it on my friends here as well.

Because right now, the best I can do is the following:
"some armless, nearly blind and deaf guy in the fifties came up with this theory that suggests we can travel faster than light through a propulsion that exists in higher-dimensional space and is actuated by spinning really big, powerful magnets. The only reason anybody takes him seriously is that he also accurately predicted the masses of a bunch of fundamental particles, which the standard theories of Relativity and Quantum Physics don't do. Only a handful of super-geniuses in the whole world can even understand the math behind it."

Because if that isn't fucking science fiction made manifest, I don't know what is.

To overthrow the Cybermen

Wait. Resolution or Revolution?

I resolve to keep going down the road I unwittingly started on during this past year, and that is to lessen the nerdy stuff in my life even more.

I will have Stan Bush's "The Touch" as my entrance music to my first (And potentially last) MMA fight.

To remove Optimus Prime from the top of our tree and remove the rest of the decorations for once on time. (and I know you said 1 post, but also get Optimus Prime added to the dictionary)

In 2010, I resolve to complete my erotic Na'vi/Smurf crossover epic.

Y'know, before someone else beats me to it.

To successfully transfer my love of nerdy things into an adult life so I don't wind up embarrassing myself or my boyfriend when we move into our condo. Of course, this is made difficult by my huge manga collection, my prominently displayed Sonic the Hedgehog comics, and my obsessive love of CLAMP in 3d-land figures.

To finally finish all 6 Mario games that I own on the Wii, all are 80% finished atm

To finish Gears of War one and two on 'insane' mode so I can get the insane mode logo tattooed on me.

(http://www.testedcheats.com/images/stories/xbox360/Gears_of_War_2/Gears_of_War_2_X360_Insane_Difficulty.jpg)

I am about to get my credential to teach high school English. Whenever it is right and appropriate to do so, I will make connections to and utilize all of the wonderful nerdy material at my disposal. This includes using the idea of the Force to teach Transcendentalism, teaching short stories and novels with awesome sci fi & fantasy elements (Ender's Game, Vonnegut, and more Ray Bradbury than you can shake a stick at.) I will plan the nerdiest, most science fiction, fantasy and horror-laden units as possible, and go through crap like To Kill a Mockingbird as swiftly and painlessly as possible. The students will not even notice the theme of my lessons, because they will be too busy writing & complaining about all the writing they have to do.

im going a gap year this year, either to dominican republic, thailand or an african country probably namibia, my resolution is to take all my dvds of firefly, stargate and battlestar galatica and introduce a whole new country to geekdom

I resolve to learn to love episodes I-III.

It may be an impossible task, but I'll be damned if I'm an old curmudgeon of a Star Wars fan that tells the children about how it was in "My Day".

get a job and a girlfriend

I resolve to be resolved in all my resolutions, starting with three monitors for ludicrous resolution gaming.

I resolve to not sob everytime I'm watching Trek or Doctor Who, etc. and some dies/regenerates. Even when it's characters I don't give a damn about. it just seems really pathetic..and like finish getting the like 222g of DW...
hopefully next year my resolutions won't be so similar, check, same as many on here.

My Nerd Year's resolution is to relearn Latin so I can re-read the Aeneid so I can rip the shit out of that god-awful motherfucker, Aeneas. Lord how I hate that bastard. My anti-Aeneas essay will include copious evidence and footnotes, and will be written in Latin.

In summation: I will brush up on a dead language so I can tear a new asshole for a fictional character.

To finally start my webcomic about a tribe of cartoon goats fighting Viking rams, sort of like a more high-fantasy version of Berserk or Vinland saga, but with HOOVES

To final finish reading my Doctor Who pop-up book. It takes so much effort...

To fulfill my girl-nerd dreams-- swing dance with a man dressed as a TF2 character.

To stop swearing like a sailor every time I play Bioshock because the Splicers scare the shit out of me and for some reason cursing them out makes it less scary.

I resolve to find a videogame my roommates can beat me at so they will start playing with me again....

I resolve to buy all the D&D 4th edition books new dice and start a weekly gaming group.
I would like to get laid more but the afore mention goal will hinder my progress in that area, sad part is I'm married, and onlý get it bout once every two or three months

To reduce my fiance & me's Convention attendance of 20+ events last year due to getting married in 2010 but atleast get to 'Dragon Con' for the 1st time in our lives.

Im going to stop giving up on things, just because I have to wait for the new Goddamn season.
Fifth Cylon was ruined for me in a nerd trivia night, Hero's was spoiled from Topless Robot, Lost... well, that shit is everywhere.

This year, I'm finishing these fucking shows. and starting a new one. And watching it ahead of time. and spoiling it for others.

To watch each and every episode of Heroes, no matter how bad it gets.

I resolve to finish every game in the Final Fantasy series, including Final Fantasy II and Chocobo's Dungeon on Wii.

As an archaeology student/nerd, I resolve to recognize that the artifacts in movies are only models and not cry whenever they get smashed. Further to that, if I ever watch Transformers 2 again, I will weep because it's a horrible insult to sanity, courtesy and good plotting and not because the pyramids get smashed.

I realize by saying this I will probably be ostracized but I have never saw Star Wars. And if I happen to win this contest I vow to watch every single one. If I don't win though I will not watch any one of the movies.

My nerdy resolution is to watch every anime series that my friend Celeste tells me to watch. And to finally ask out the girl of my dreams.

Is to watch every anime that Celeste tells me to watch, and to finally ask out the girl of my dreams.

To track Nathan Fillion to a Whole Foods Market in Hollywood and, having smeared my t-shirt with oil and carefully mussed my hair, talk him into the parking lot where the flattened back tire of my '98 Pontiac Sunfire waits to be changed. Then, gratefully and despite his protests, I treat him to a Machiatto, which I spill down his shirtfront. Alas, I am but a clumsy woman! I must pay for the shirt. Paying for his shirt is the least I can do, and my money is in my motel room, and my motel is there, right there across the Starbucks parking lot. In the doorway of room 14B of the Howard Johnson, I pause, because in this evening light through the vertical blinds, do I perhaps recognize him from somewhere? Do we not have a mutual acquaintance? Ah no, I remember! And I tug my "Serenity Valley Browncoats" from my duffle, and hand him a Sharpie, and he signs while I track down my travelers checks. Nathan Fillion leaves. I cherish.

Rivka, you may be my hero.

I will relive my childhood through television. That's right, that means watching Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Beetleborgs, Darkwing Duck, and Batman: The Animated Series, preferably within a single weekend.

Okay, I always read these goddamned weekend contests, and I always love seeing what people come up with, but I never have the bloody conviction to try and enter one myself. But this time, I'm sure I can at least make an honorable mention.

My new year's resolution, I am proclaiming for all the nerdy internet to see and mock, is to give this engagement ring to my seven-year sweetheart, even though the last month of my life has been a non-stop fuck-up of our entire relationship. Because you know what? Sometimes when you plot and scheme and prepare and you set a goal, everything falls to pieces. Your beautifully laid plans get ruined by bad timing and by badness and spookitude. And she'll probably just tell me to fuck off, and that she really is leaving, and that there isn't a blessed thing I can do about it. But you know what? Sometimes, even when EVERYTHING goes wrong, just like an olympic figure skater, you get up and you finish your godforsaken routine. You finish the race, even though you're dead last. I bought this piece of shit ring for her, and I'm not returning it. Because no matter what she believes, I will always love her, and I will ALWAYS wait for her. If it takes the rest of her life to really believe that, so be it. But come hell or high water, this ring is going on that woman's finger, dammit. You here me, world? YOU HEAR ME?!

I resolve to FINALLY start hacking away at my backlog of PS2 classics... maybe even remove the shrink wrap...

.... either that or finally give bestiality a spin... I swear that horse was giving me the look...

............
.... WHAT?!?!?

I have at least a half-dozen videogames and a couple dozen DVDs I need to play or watch. I've been so busy that I haven't had time to just be a lazy fat nerd. I mean damn, I went from a 280 lbs nerd in March of 2008 who couldn't fit into one of those XL Topless Robot T-shirts to a guy in January 2010 who is now 175 lbs in which one of those XL Topless Robot T-Shirts is too big for me. I guess my nerd-priorities have changed, but I still need to get my hands on Mass Effect 2 this year. I just hope I can play it.

To read [i]A Dance with Dragons[/i], but someone has to finish writing it first...

My resolution is to really commit to watching the rest of Battlestar Galactica (the old series not that new crap god damn it)

To get myself to a convention this year. I've never been to a comic-con. Even if no one wants to go with me...I'll go by myself. I'm a woman of the world! If I want to fly across the country to sit in on panel discussions of sci-fi theology, than Damn It! I'll do it!!

To get a new LCD monitor and get something more than 1440 x 900.

i've resolved to never again read Fan Fiction Friday. and just like a normal new year's resolution, that'll probably last for a good ten seconds or so. CURSE YOU TOPLESS ROBOT!!! CUUUUURSE YOOUUUUUUU!!!
-sobs in the corner-

To finish watching Nadia AKA the Secret of the Blue Water. I bought it when it first came out on Streamline videos and I was 13 in Guam. I equate it with pleasant childhood memories of island adventures. I got it through fansubs (Streamline only released 12 episodes at one episode per tape) at 22 and then I bought the complete set on DVD at 25. I LOVE the series, but I can't help but stop watching at episode 21. I know if I go past that, I won't stop watching until I finish the series at episode 39 and the less than stellar movie. It's one of those rare series that you like so much that you don't want it to end or see the end because you're afraid that when you see the end you'll either be tremendously disappointed or so satisfied that no other show can satisfy you as much. I need to say goodbye to Nadia and hello to...

I resolve to reply to these contests before the time limit as measured in YOUR time zone :(

My resolution is to stop buying display cases for my DCUC action figures. I have four now and I think this is the maximum before I start entering the "getting a divorce" zone. This will mean rotating figures in and out eventually, but at least maybe it will feel more like a museum exhibit than a collection of colorful, mass-produced toys.

I resolve to come out of the closet as the Star Wars nerd I have always been by doing the following: (a) I will buy a Boba Fett hoodie and wearing it to teach (I work at a local university, and walking into class with that hoodie zipped all the way up would be hilarious, if embarrasing.) (b) I will also purchase a princess Leah slave girl costume for my wife for... uh... home. She promised to wear it for me if I got it for her (I love that woman)!
My only concern is that if I win, the prominence of my resolution on this site will spawn a FFF that will sh*t on my childhood memories and personal fantasies worse than the prequel trilogy.

I've already accomplished part of my resolution... I've lost my dice virginity. Yes, I now own a set of gaming dice, complete with an extra D6 that I absolutely HAD to spend $1.50 on because it had good mojo. Now I plan to use my shiny new dice to secure myself a spectacular victory in my 3:16 game, the first RPG I have ever played. Hey, my PC is already captain! (Damn my evil nerd boyfriend and his evil nerd influence. Damn. Damn. Damn.)

To get a job at a nerdy tv-show/movie. I graduate in june and there aren't that many nerdy shows here in Belgium, so it's more of a wish then a resolution.

I resolve to finally corrupt my room mate to the way of video games. I'm going to start her off with Mario Party 2 and Pokemon Snap. Then Castel Crashers, before trying to edge her into Left 4 Dead.

To finally move out of my parent's basement & up into their attic!

I resolve to stop lusting over female cartoon/animated characters. Wait, what..? Avatar is still out? Neytiri is...a what?
GOD DAMN IT!!!
