    I had a good stiff drink before embarking on my gaming journey. Smart? Maybe not. I can't remember how to shield myself from the onslaught of windbag bullshit that invariably awaits me on each level of Bastion... But you know? I love this game. I really really do. One thing that never seems to fail me whilst I am inebriated is my ability to use correct grammar. That's something you can take to the bank.

    Also? What a fun competition.

    Ok I actually legit cannot do this as the All Points Bulletin servers have been closed. Barring that one exception though I will participate.
  • MyrmidonMyrmidon Baron von Puttenham California Icrontian
    This 'ten hours' thing is brutal. I was just playing altitude and I'm like 'that's a cute game. Won some, lost some, whatevs. Welp, that was fun. What was that, like WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIRTY MINUTES?!'

    You have to convert to APB Reloaded, which is still running as a F2P.
    NOBODY is getting out of APB if they have it. If I have to suffer APB Reloaded and it's glut of cheaters and aimbots and trolls, YOU DO TOO. :P

    I spent a good year of my life trying to pass that one. Forget about it.

    I played it back when I was little and only ever got to the second level. Fastforward and I still can't get past the 2nd level.

    I would think anything that is not possible to complete due to external forces, not your lack of willpower, can and will be excused.
  • RahnalH102RahnalH102 the Green Devout, Veteran Monster Hunter, Creature Enthusiast New Mexico Icrontian
    Oh I have the willpower for it. I just know that with how it's designed ( I'm pretty sure this was meant to be a quarter muncher in an arcade. After all SEGA specializes in Arcade.) beating it will take a lot of time and luck in some cases which will all eventually evolve into skill and the conquering of the game. I just have a feeling it will take the longest complete.

    For those not in the competition, you can visit the Categories page and "Hide" the Gaming Backlog category to remove those discussions from the main list.

    Personally I only have like 4 games that qualify and I ain't wasting 40 hours of my life on them. :p

    Has there been a ruling on games that have an active MP experience, but also had a campaign?
  • pragtasticpragtastic Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    Also, I wish there was an easy way to look up the achievement most games have that say you've beaten it.
  • pragtasticpragtastic Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    And what about games with multiple playthoughs like TL2?

    I HATE YOU ALL.

    With a game collection as massive as this, your challenge is unachievable by anyone below the rank of a lesser deity. And considering my console game collection adds a shelf or two more to the list (not to mention unplayed classics via emulator ROMs), I am truly doomed to failure. Limiting to just Steam games does little to reduce the odds. Surely even gods, no matter their infinite time and wisdom, hesitate to tackle such a feat.

    I am but a mere mortal. And yet...

    nope. 250 games, 60-some of which are all the THQ titles automatically added with my employment. I srsly don't have the time to all of this.
  • MyrmidonMyrmidon Baron von Puttenham California Icrontian
    I'm gonna need permission to edit my thread.

    Also, so is everyone. I feel like that is going to SUCK to do.

    Bobby Longshadow is losing his gamer cred if he pussies out.
  • TushonTushon I'm scared, Coach Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    I would be willing to give bobby a pass on the newly acquired THQ games as a condition of his employment if he mans the fuck up.

    Yep. I'd exclude the THQ catalog and also concur on the MingTFU
  • primesuspectprimesuspect Beepin n' Boopin Detroit, MI Icrontian
    On thread editing: Lincoln literally has to write a custom plugin to do that (or if anybody wants to flex their PHP muscle and delve into the open source Vanilla world, feel free). We'll get to it at some point, but for now, let me know and I can edit the threads.

    I'd agree with this. It's not like there is a time limit or anything ...

    Nope. Not doing it. If you need me, I'll be having fun playing League of Legends, Mechwarrior online and TF2.

    Key word there? FUN.

    Only see it as masochism and are not into that? If so, understandable.

    Personally I'm doing this because I've been hella procrastinating, and completing this will not only be fun for me along the way (I don't fear the bundles because I haven't bought a bundle.) it will help me break my mold. It's not this way for others and I can understand if that makes them not want to do this.

    "Happiness is a choice and I choose to make the best of it." They made their choice, as have I.
  • I propose the following adjustment for MMOs based on my experiences:

    APB Reloaded: 10 hours recorded by Steam.
    EQ1 or EQ2: Level 20 (Knight of D'Lere achievement)
    World of Warcraft: Level 20 or 2 level 10's. (Can't count deleted characters or existing characters.)
    World of Tanks: 10 hours.
    The Secret World: Level 10
    Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning: Level 10
    Champions Online: Level 10
    No Levels / Free To Play: 10 hours or 10 levels, use your best judgment.
