2014?! Thank god. I was really getting tired of 2013. Hopefully 2014 will be rays of sunshine and progress and happiness to make up for the sludge that was 2013. Some prominent video game characters are with me on this. Letâs check in.
Lara Croft, Tomb Raider
Buy new outfits cause this one is getting really dirty.
Any Call of Duty protagonist ever
Stop following the guy in front of you and start being a leader.
Max Payne
Quit drinkingâŠafter this drink.
Master Chief, Halo
Hook up with Cortana already.
GLaDOS, Portal
Reflect internally about this obsession with other peoplesâ weights.
John Marston, Red Dead Redemption
Reconnect with the kids.
Mario
Propose and invest in a high-tech security system; become one with the cat.
Ellie, The Last of Us
Learn to swim.
Isabelle, Animal Crossing
Take a day off.
Michael, GTA V
Find a new therapist.
Kaitlin Greenbriar, Gone Home
Mind your own business for once.
Your general manager, NBA 2K14
Save up money for a big purchase later. Like setting your starting rotations.
Any assassin in any Assassinâs Creed
Find a new job, the last one nearly killed you.

Team Kotaku and I had fun making some of these up, but please donât let our bad jokes stop there. Take it away! And Happy New Year, everyone.
