Good times as a new year gets kind of close to beginning.
December 31, 2015

First, I did the Alpha Marathon successfully! First time to get all 27. Hell, I'm not sure I've gotten more than approximately 20 or so in the past.

That was good for my site productivity this year, as I finished with 36 reviews. After a couple years in the 20s, that was a nice change of pace. Late summer had a lull (only 1 in August), but I rallied late in the year, putting out six this month.

And to make things better, my new laptop came in the mail today. My old Mac was something I bought when I needed a cheap replacement to a broken down computer. However, OS 10.6 became essentially obsolete this year, as Steam no longer was supported in November and the Internet just kept getting slower and slower on sites like Yahoo Sports and Facebook, AND with only 1G of RAM, I couldn't upgrade to 10.7 or anything else.

Now, I have 10.10 or so, a lot more RAM and the use of Steam again. I think I'll put Eschalon Book One on (indefinite) hold, as that game never has really gained traction with me and start either the Avadon series, the Avernum series or Icewind Dale. Leaning towards Avernum, probably, but that could change in the next few minutes.

Congratulations on having a new laptop at last! I got a new PC tower this year, myself, and I've finally started using it just recently to play the occasional PC title. I hope to get a lot more use out of it in 2016.
