I constantly struggle with setting goals and sticking to them in regards to my gaming. In the past I've created trackers that you would think would influence which games i play but guess what, it doesn't. I recently downloaded my game collection to my computer and thought I'd pick off the low hanging fruit first. I was able to knock a couple off but then it got tedious. Something has to change because I never really feel like I accomplished much on a monthly basis.
One example would be Rainbow Six: Vegas... I loved playing this game as a group. When we completed the multiplayer stuff and campaign mode I pretty much put this one back into storage which I believe is a mistake. I think I'm going to attempt working through the campaign on Realistic difficulty in order to knock off a bunch of the remaining achievements. I think I'm going to stick to 1 level / chapter per month as I don't want to get burned out. I'm going into this one thinking it's going to be very tough so if it happens that it's not as bad I I initially thought, I may attempt to do more.
I've also been playing through Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel with @JohnPicklewilly but I believe we really don't have all that much to do. I've been power leveling his Fragtrap the past couple of nights and after that I believe he's going to help me power level. We have the DLC we need to go through but otherwise we'll be working on challenges. Seeing as I love this game, this will probably consume most my time in November.
On Monday nights our community has been playing Halo 4 but we've pretty much finished off the campaign. I think we'll attempt some of the MP stuff this coming up Monday night but I'm not 100%. This is another game I've been enjoying and would like to work on but I don't want to take away from our sessions so this will most likely stick to just Monday evenings.
Friday night we've started up Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising and it's been fun! It's a pretty non forgiving shooter but we've been having a blast. Especially with my helicopter incident. This is another one that will most likely only be played with the community.
I'd also like to pick a game that I'd like to complete in the month from my backlog. I'm thinking this is where the low hanging fruit would be. For this month I think I'm going to pick a couple of games that shouldn't be too much of an issue knocking off this month. First off will be Pneuma: Breath of Life and the second will be Tales From The Borderlands seeing as it was a Games With Gold.
So to recap my goals for November...
Complete the level Border Town on Realistic Difficulty in Rainbow Six: Vegas (Chapters: Inbound, Trainyard, Mines and Escape)
Complete Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (non-DLC) (Level 1 challenges and level 25 Fragtrap)
Complete Pneuma: Breath of Life
Complete Tales From The Borderlands (Xbox One)
Doesn't seem an overly difficult list but I will only be working on these during non community session nights. Maybe next month if I blow these out of the water I'll expand my goals. I just don't want to set myself up to fail.

I'll be happy to help you with any of the co-op and/or multiplayer achievements in R6V. It likely won't be for a month or two, though. So many games, so little time.
