2022 Nerds-Year Resolutions

So, I already did some board gaming resolutions. One was generally about buying new games, you can read that here. The other was for playing board games, found here. But there are other nerdy things that I want to do, and also things with the website, podcast, and YouTube channel. I’ll post early in 2022 to show off some of the numbers on how the site is doing.

Nerdy Resolutions

Make It To GenCon This Year

I rolled my ticket over, obviously, in 2020. And then I did so again in 2021, just it would have been hard to make it work with the different time. And I missed it. I don’t know what I would have thought about being masked all day, I say that not having an issue wearing a mask but for wearing a mask for a long period of time because of allergies.

We’ll see what it is like this year, but I plan on going. I missed the excitement of walking around the show room floor and playing random demos. Some of them were great, some of them were bad. But for the most part glad to have tried them. And then the random other games, and demoes that we got into. I doubt another North American Ice Cool Championship will happen, but there are always fun events.

Watch 5 New To Me Anime

Now, this is kind of in progress already. We have started watching My Senpai is Annoying, and it is great. But this is more of a challenge just to keep up with anime. 2020 had so much anime watched. Why, I worked from home a lot, so I watched a lot. 2021 had some watched, I came up with five, but not all of them were as great. I want to checkout more new anime and generally I like to binge stuff in the winter, so we’ll see what I get one.

Read The Keeper Of the Lost Cities Series

This one is also in progress. I picked up the first book, on a whim, because the premise looked cool. It is a middle grade series, but I am liking it better than Harry Potter thus far, and I really enjoyed Harry Potter. But this series just flows better. This is a 10 book series, I think, and they aren’t short books. I’d say that they are comparable in length to say book 3-4 of Harry Potter. But my goal is to finish all of them, which will take a little while, plus I want to start reading more comics again as well, but books first.

Listen To All Of Wheel of Time

Another in progress one, but with the show, which I still need to finish, I wanted to listen to all the books again. I enjoyed the series on my first listen through, and I’ve read the first in paperback a few times. The series is really long, but I enjoy it, and I want to get through it again because of the show. Plus, when I listened to it before, I didn’t get the last books. So while I “know” how it finishes, I’d actually like to see how Brandon Sanderson wraps Robert Jordan’s epic series.

Nerdologists Resolutions

So, honestly, I don’t plan on changing up much on the site for 2022. You might notice a bit more of a focus onto the board game side, but it’s been leaning very heavily that way. My main goal with Nerdologists in 2022 is to get it out there more. I have advertised before on Facebook, but I also want to try and find other ways to get the Nerdologists name/brand out there to help the site grow. To be determined as to how that will work though.

10 Minute Marvel Resolutions

This is basically going to be the same as last year. My goal is going to be putting out 50+ episodes this year. Now, I did do two double length episodes this past year. I can see that happening again if a show and a movie overlap when they come out so there is a lot to talk about. But otherwise, I hope not to miss any weeks like I did this year when I saw sick, granted, that’s a good excuse to miss.

Malts and Meeples Resolutions

Malts and Meeples is probably where I want to focus the most on growth. It is a blast streaming, and we already know what I want to get through a game of Sleeping Gods. I am going to play it this weekend so that I can be ready for Wednesday. But beyond that, I want to start doing more with the channel. In particular, while I wasn’t sure I wanted to do reviews, I think that is an area that I am going to start jumping into. I talk about board games so much on the website, I think doing a video review or two would be good as well. Don’t expect a highly edited project, but I want to figure out a nice format that I like to do.

But that is going to be it for me. What resolutions are you doing that are nerdy, if you have any? I try and keep mine small and attainable. Though, some of them are a bit vague for the site and podcast coming up. Let me know yours in the comments below.
