**** Denotes games that I've played over 10 hours but won't consider finished until story mode is complete

I don't think that Steam has kept an accurate measure of hours played as I know I've put in more than 2hrs into Portal and more than 100min in Left 4 Dead

Koreish's (Good luck alliterating "k" Brian) Backlog Challenge

If the Kardashians can do it, Brian can do it.

I don't think Brian can afford the necessary plastic surgery to do it like the Kardashians.

Challenge accepted. Alliteration is not a repetition of initial consonants, but of the sound those consonants make.

NEXT.

Note: the 10 hour rule is ONLY for games that have no ending. If the game has an end/can be beat, you have to beat it!

Koreish

I'll accept your terms @Primesuspect but only because I know you'll have to suffer through Dead Island as well.

Snarkasm

I am now useless and redundant.

Koreish

Noted

Koreish

Well I'm slowly progressing through Amnesia. I've decided that about an hour a night is all I can handle, not because it's a scary game to me, but because like @GnomeQueen I seem to get headaches after prolonged playing of Amnesia. I've been making progress on other titles as well.

I have a ruling question on FTL: Faster than Light. While technically there is a campaign it's a game that is meant to be played several times through, much like Binding of Isaac. Do we consider it a one and done or a ten hour marathon of exhaustion? I guess the same should be asked of Isaac as well. @Primesuspect

primesuspect

One and done is fine. If you feel you've beaten it, it's beaten.

Canti

Get on my level and you're done.

CB

But, have you beat it yet?

Canti

Nope.

Koreish

Made a lot of progress on Dumbnesia today. I just took the elevator down which if I recall is about halfway through the game. However I now have a monster sitting just outside the room I'm hiding in. It can't get in because it doesn't have hands and I can't get out because it has magic kill me powers.

Koreish

I'm really beggining to hate the way Amnesia forces insanity on you through the monsters. "Oh hey lets have you sit in the dark for 2 mins looking at a wall so that the monster which induces insanity won't get you; but wait darkness induces insantiy too."

The story is cool and I'm enjoying the puzzles but the farther insane you go the harder it makes it so play since the screen starts to do this weird blurry wobbley nonsense. Which makes the game hard to play straight through.

Koreish

Just drinking some brain juice like it ain't no thang.

primesuspect

Yeah that's the problem I'm having with it: the forced "do nothing" time. I literally just park my ass in a corner, pick up my phone, and check Facebook for two minutes... Then, because I'm too insane to control the game properly, I turn the lantern on and wait another two minutes until I can play again. It's a really poorly-implemented mechanic.

Koreish

I still don't know what this shit is, I probably missed a note somewhere, but it is by far the scariest part of this game. It can hurt from 10 feet away it seems.

primesuspect

The notes barely explain it. It's the "tissue" that comes as a result of using the orbs.

Koreish

I decided to just power through the rest of Amnesia tonight.


He isn't horribly disfigured AND he has cloths on? Progress!


The Darkness an interdimensional demon capable of making walls bleed and creating monstrosities such as this.


A door, the Darkness' only weakness.


What's behind door number one Daniel?


Just an old naked dude masquerading as the penultimate evil. Par for the course really.


These two little words just couldn't come soon enough.

Winfrey

Wow spoilers dude, geez.

Koreish

"So, Koreish you cuddly and adorable penguin you. Why haven't we had any updates on your progress in a while?" you might be asking.
"Because, Anatomy and Physiology is bullshit!" I would reply.

But, no. Some progress has been made on both Assassin's Creed, and Audiosurf, in fact I'm only an hour away from 10 on audio.

Koreish

Audiosurf is now complete. Carry on

Koreish

Oh lawd why didn't someone tell me awesomenauts was a MOBA this is going to be a rough ten hours. Bleh definitely going the 30 min a night on this one.

primesuspect

Yeppppp..... Same boat, bro. Haaaaaaaate.

Koreish

Thirty Flights of Loving is complete. Apparently its a 10 min game. Yay!!!

I'm not kidding about the time by the way.

Koreish

Me and Jimmy recently completed Orcs Must Die! 2 come at our highscores bros.

Koreish

I almost forgot about this. Shame on me.

So I've been playing games out of order mostly because I've added other games since this list as well as having a huge desire to play RPGs for the last couple weeks.

On top of the above mentioned games, I'm going to consider Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 both complete. Although my steam profile, for whatever reason, doesn't have my hours played updated; I know that I have put more than 10 hours into both of these games as well as playing through all the campaigns several times.
