What's on for this year?

Well, that's a rather tricky question for me to answer....
I have so much that I would like to accomplish, but how do I assign priorities?
I did a quick analysis of the interest shown in all my last year's projects and came out with the following top five :

1) 3DRad Special Tutorials....the Mindstorms robotic tutorial
2) Meccano World
3) R6 Robotic Arm
4) Surfing Simulation
5) My First Real Game

Funnily enough, the odd one out is "My First Real Game" which is, at the moment, an empty page. But folks insist on visiting it and being disappointed to see nothing there. This sorta tells me that I should be thinking of filling it soon, but with what? I need to decide on some unique and interesting fun game, which can utilize my special interests. Maybe I can expand on the "Surfing Simulation" and turn it into a game? 
I'd like to maintain the current interest in the others....so with that in mind.....another 3DRad Mindstorms robotic project, a series of  working, interactive Meccano mechanisms from the popular 1970s "Meccano Mechanisms Set", and work towards making my R6 Robotic Arm more user friendly.
The one project that is going to take my special attention is the Virtual Science and Technology Lab. At the moment it is an empty room. I have to start aquiring all the bits and pieces of apparatus that are going to make it an interesting place to visit.
Well, thats it....no doubt other things will crop up throughout the year to throw me off track... but at least I do have some kind of plan.

PLEASE POST ANY SUGGESTIONS...ALL ARE WELCOME!

    3D graphics, both in the programming and gaming side of
     this fascinating subject.
