    CrimeCraft was so terribad. Who was it that I played through a bunch of shit in that game for hours with? It was for some Steam achievement thing... I think it was @Canti. So bad, so terrible, so many lulz.

    @teramona there's a level where there are massive, gargantuan teapots floating in the sky, pouring a never-ending stream of tea upon the shattered world. It's teapocalypse.

    Sounds like someone's been reading my dream journal.

    First off, two questions: Does DLC that we have count for finishing? And do new games we get after this get thrown in as well?

    Raptr Gamercard

    Mine is definitely not as painful as I know some of yours are.
    Borderlands 2 - WOO
    Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition - at 14 hours played. I believe I'm 1/4 of the way through, AND it has infinite NewGame+
    Defense Grid: The Awakening - Haven't touched.
    DOTA 2 - Technically I still don't even own this one yet despite input on that particular thread. May be removed.
    Dragon Age: Origins - I'm not sure if I'm unhappy about this one or not.
    Dues Ex: Human Revolution - Gonna be Good!
    Forge - Gonna be Good!
    FLY'N - Haven't touched.
    Garry's Mod - meh
    Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved - Gonna be Good!
    Prince of Persia - Almost done with it anyways.
    Sanctum - "aeiou aeiou aeiou FOOTBALL"
    Serious Sam 3: BFE - Gonna be Good!
    Sine Mora - While I have beaten the story on it, that only took like 3 hours and there is still much to do in it.
    Sonic Spinball - FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
    Source Filmmaker - I'mma throw this in here because I want to learn it and who knows what I'll be able to make after just 10 hours.
    Spirits - meh
    TrackMania United - The New Mexico bracket will know PAIN! So will I, as this will create OCD.

    If you feel this list is light I'll add in console/handheld games. I'm mostly okay with this except for my ambivalence to Dragon Age and my fear of trying to complete Spinball.

    Should this be like the "Steam Player's New Year's 'Resolution' List" ?

    I would like for @Pragtastic to go through this challenge. He and his 300+ games on steam.
  • It will take some serious time to compile my entire backlog. The Game's that stick out the most are games that approach classic status that I've never played. Psychonauts is in my Steam library, I've never gotten around to it. A friend of mine has poked me repeatedly to play Dead Space, I started, but never got more than 30 minutes into it, I need to re install and play at some point. Similar on the Wii, I never got into The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, I started it, played about an hour and never went back to it. I may never finish that one.

    ...fuck.

    Would add non-steam games and/or those that have ~5min of playtime but that would just be nuts.

    Kinda tempted to go Russia roulette style and have an RNG pick what I play next.

    So the first game on this list for me is Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I hate you fuckers.

    Dude!! But the school semester just started. I'm gonna hate myself.

    Can someone clarify the rules? We're supposed to play games we never finished and never played or just the ones we've never played? Only games on Steam or do games acquired in other manners also count?

    I can't partake in this challenge because I made the mistake of purchasing Roller Coaster TySuck 3. The game is pretty much unplayable. Now if I could sub it for Roller Awesome Tycoon: Loopy Landscapes on GoG then you have yourself a challenge.

    From OP


    I propose we go through the list in the most painful and awkward fashion possible—alphabetically—and are not allowed to move to the next game until we are finished (or for games with no ending, 10 hours have been put in/achievements earned).

  • primesuspectprimesuspect Beepin n' Boopin Detroit, MI Icrontian
    To clarify: Only games that you have NOT A) Beaten or B) Put in at least 10 hours if there's no ending (puzzlers, etc.) are involved in this project. This is to clear our gaming backlogs and to punish us for our excesses.

    @Koreish MAN UP, YES YOU CAN. YOU CAN PLAY 10 HOURS OF ROLLERSHIT TYSUCK 3

    @Bright said to me last night "I'm going to skip Amnesia" NO. NO THAT IS NOT THE POINT.

    What I'm going to do is make a new subforum for this project, under Video Gaming, and each participant will have a thread with their name and an alliterative name for their project (like a "team name"). Mine will be PRIME'S PLAYTIME PUNISHMENT. In your own thread, you will keep track of each game you're playing, thoughts on it, and a mini-review when you're done, even if it's one sentence, you have to tell us how much you loved or hated the experience of being forced to finally play Gameball 4: The Gamening.

    If you have a thread, you're "officially in" and you will be held to account for your backlog! FEEL THE PAIN
