So here's my list, red line means not eligible, the ones I've chosen have green rectangles around them.
I'm really happy to have played Portal at least, now I need to 100% it. It's really amazing (you don't say!).
| Game | Status | Proof |
|---|---|---|
| Bit Blaster XL | Completed | Achievements |
| Zup! F | Completed | Achievements |
| The Supper | Finished | Screenshot |
| Portal | Finished | Achievements |
| Agent A: A puzzle in disguise | Finished | Achievements |

I didn't took part this time, but hypothetically - in case there is next edition:
What if a game I've chosen at the start of the event is eligible, but then it isn't anymore at the end e.g. because the ratings changed (not very likely) or I got some new games with better rating (more likely)? In other words, should we consider rating and the state of the library only at the beginning of the month / at the end the month or at any point of time during the event?

Sorry for the late reply. I'm generally lenient in that if the rating changed slightly, I'm okay with it so long as you could show that it qualified at the time when you picked it. There isn't a whole lot of games that I can think of that would have their ratings drop/rise in a short period, so I didn't consider it an issue, but it is not out of the realm of possibility either.
I'm still figuring out on how I want to tweak this event, so don't worry about it.

Hi, Cj. Just saw this thread for the first time. If I understand correctly, you're only supposed to consider the top 24 games unless you don't have 5 games in those top 24 that you haven't played, in which case you can consider an extra 8 at time, up to a max of 48 games? In other words, you're not supposed to keep scrolling until you have 24 unplayed games, right?
Also, I had to play around with icon size and window size to get exactly eight games per row, though it wasn't that hard. I'm not sure if some folks are considering more than 24 games because they have more games per column.
Anyway, interesting event-- thank you.

Don't worry too much about this current setup since I'm not 100% happy with how it turned out and I want to tweak it. Just haven't figured out the best way to do it. Earliest I'll bring it back is Feb 1st but no guarantees.

Hey all, its your local Zoidberg again and it is time to make the bank regret their decision on giving me credit :D.
The challenge is simple: Play and beat 5 out of the top 24 games (according to Steam reviews), starting today, that you currently own in one month.
The prize: 5x Hades
Note: This means I'm giving away five copies of the game and will have 5 winners.
Game length does not matter and I'm not looking for 100% achievement runs. So long as you play and beat 5 games, I'm happy. You can go easy mode and play a bunch of 1h games or go crazy and play 5 +30h games. So long as they are one of your top games, we are good. Also, price of the game does not matter. If the game is free, that is okay.
How to enter: Post a comment with a screenshot showing your steam library sorted by "Steam Review" (example below - Picture 1). Also include either screenshots/achievements showing that you fulfilled the criteria and I'll add you on Steam and give you the link. Feel free to share your thoughts on the games you've played, but it is not required.
FAQ:
What if have already played most or all of my top games?
First, congrats! :D
Second, screw you, you show off -.- jealous
Third, scroll down a row and take two screenshots. One showing the original top games in your library. The second showing the new row of games which include the ones you played for this event. (Example below - Picture 2)
How far down can I scroll? Can I scroll indefinitely? :D
-.-
I'm allowing 3 extra rows of games. That is 8 per row or 24 extra games for a total of 48. If you are still unable to find 5 games within that group, you can keep scrolling down with the condition that you have no more than 10 games to choose from. I.e. You can only go pass your top 48 if you have already played at least 38 your top games. Next three rows would put you at 72; you need to play at least 62 before going to the next 24 and so and so forth.
What about that other event "Monthly in a month"? Can one game count for both events?
I was on the fence about this one but the answer is yes. If you play a game that satisfies the conditions of this event and the other event (either the one that is currently running and the next edition which starts on Friday), then it can be applied to both. Just keep in mind that the other event doesn't start until the new HB Choice/Monthly launches, so if you play a game now with the intention of having it apply to both, you need to wait till after HB releases the new bundle on Friday. Otherwise, you could only apply it to the edition which is about to end this weekend.*
I want you guys to have fun. I don't need you guys to hate me for making you play 11 games this month. :p
Why 5/24?
24 since it is the most I could fit in a screenshot by putting the steam client on full screen. 5 seemed like a decent target.
Event ends on Jan 1st, 10pm EST. For all that is holy, do not wait till the last minute to submit your entry. I do not need to spend New Year's Day refreshing the thread to make sure I got everyone.
Good luck, have fun and stay safe.
P.S. Feel free to comment below your thoughts about the event and your answer to the poll.
