I’ve been tracking all of the books, movies and games I’ve been playing each year for about the last five years now. Although I consumed about the same number of books and movies as usual, I saw a massive decrease in games completed this year. I think this is due to me stepping further away from the games industry professionally, as I spend more time working in the general space of technology and less in mobile gaming.

Toward the end of the year I went on a pretty serious 1990’s movie binge, which was most excellent. Many of the books I read this year, especially in the latter half, dealt with politics as I sorted through of the cultural and socioeconomic changes the US is undergoing.
