In February 25 people made their way to the leaderboard by playing their wins for 599.7 hours, achieving 966 achievements and beating 45 of them. We got fewer people(not anymore with last minute adds), achievements and games beaten this month, but we have a wooping 123.8 hours more of playtime :) Congrats to everyone who participated! I hope to see you again this month :)

P.S. since different timezones and stuff you still have time to update your comments for February, but if you do please let me know so I can update the leaderboard.


The theme for this month is

Marching on

(Big thank you to Moony1986 for coming up with it!)

Games that qualify for it are:
Games with war topic
Shooters
Walking Simulators
Survival games
Fighting games
Long wins - a game counts as a long win if the main story playtime for it on HLTB is 15 hours or longer.

Since not everyone will have a game that will fit in the theme, you can also join with other wins but:

  • please mark them separately in your charts (for example under the subcategory write in "non theme"),
  • you will have to beat 2 of them to be able to join the giveaway.

Leaderboard

The leaderboard can be found as the first comment and I will try to update it every weekend.

Here is a sample formatting for a table that you can use for you comments that would show all the data nicely. Of course feel free to add any columns that you would like.

Game Achievements Hours of Playtime Subcategory Status
[Name of the game](link to the store page) [no. of achievement achieved](link to achievements) Hours played War/Shooter/Long/... Beaten/Completed/Unfinished

You can copy paste the formatting for your comment here:

Game | Achievements | Hours of Playtime | Subcategory | Status 
:-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: 
[Name of the game](link to the store page) |  [no. of achievement achieved](link to achievements) | Hours played | War/Shooter/Long/... | Beaten/Completed/Unfinished

Theme for April

In the poll below (yes, I know there is a typo in it but I can't fix it :/ ) you can vote which theme you would like to be the theme for next month. We got quite a few of them this month to choose from. You can find the original comments here:

Overachiever's Run
April's fool 1 and April's fool 2
Gag gifts
Girls just wanna have fun
I like trains
April O'Neil


Theme for May

Do you think you have a good idea for a theme for May? Leave it in the comments bellow. If I get more than 1 suggestion I will list them in the poll next month and the one with the most votes will become May's theme.


Giveaway

This month I will be giving away a copy of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes to everyone who has beaten at least 1 win (or 2 if they don't fit the theme) in March.

Samwise84 is also chiming in and giving away a copy of STAR WARS Knights of the Old Republic II The Sith Lords and LEGO STAR WARS: The Force Awakens, thank you! <3

Crizyz is also adding in 3 giveaways: Tangledeep, The First Tree and Among the Sleep - Enhanced Edition

One more a bit late addition, but just as much appreciated: Rocket Knight by Sylom ^^

Only other requirement is that you have made at least one public giveaway in the past to make the link delivery a bit easier.


Have already completed all your wins?

Then feel free to participate with your normal Steam backlog instead :)

Coming up to the new month, so lets bump this back up. Better start preparing next month games, pretty much all hogs are a female protag so I'm all okay on that front. To bad it doesn't also include games made for girls

And what would be "games made for girls" exactly? o.O
Not some ponies right, as I believe that for example Geralt of Rivia was made for me! :P

So, it seems that I will not add another game for March theme as there is not enough time for a long game, on the other side I am pretty eager to start playing games for April!
Question is - may I start during the weekend? O.O

As long as you don't beat the game like 95% in March you can use it for April but only the playtime and achievements in April will be counted in the leaderboard.

I see. Hmmm, I will need to think it over well then, if I want to aim on higher position. XD

I would say we might get more votes but looking at the thing as long as you play something funny with an achievement you are safe
If you go for female protag like I'm going for especially since I just won Alice in Wonderland you never know if 9 more randoms will vote away from it!

Month is almost over, bump to celebrate me beating all I had picked out. Also in hopes of it reminding people to update their stats. :P
The poll still looks like theme for April is gonna be girls-girls-girls so might as well start seeing if I have anything to play to follow that.

Game Achievements Hours of Playtime Subcategory Status
Kane and Lynch Collection 23/59 13 (8 K&L1, 5 K&L2) Shooter Beaten

Won this collection 3 years ago, got around to completing it today. Many of the achievements are multiplayer-focused so I probably won't bother with them.

I can understand a lot of the backlash with these two. I'd give the first K&L a 7/10 and the second a 5/10. The second one was a bit of a step backward. It fixed one flaw of the first game (cover system) while introducing a few new ones.

Well I can already point out samwise should have 15 hours since stories has 6.7 hours now. I will continue checking other stats but people might still update today so I'll leave the rest of my observation until tomorrow

Oh if they are going to let you know saves time. You might still have done a perfect leaderboard at this point

So I already mentioned the sam stat which now needs to be changed to 16.2 hours now
Also is there a reason GarionPR isn't on the leaderboard? Tried looking to try and figure it out myself but I cant figure it out

Because he only updated it once I already went to bed. I am going through all the comments right now and I literally just got to it right now.

Oh well there we go a reason. Thought at 1st maybe they didn't do a win but found out it was. So I then just ran out of options didn't even consider that maybe they didn't post what they done until after you finished your leaderboard.

well with that then you actually had a perfect leaderboard!

Now that March is safely past and I no longer need to worry about leaderboards, et cetera, I can post my results for March. I have recently found time to play my first win, Skyrim. (Skyrim qualifies for March in every way.) Thus far, I managed to put in 24 hours and garner 6 achievements. Thank you, again, for the continued encouragement to chip away at our backlogs. )

You realize I last updated the leaderboard only a few hours ago and I can still update it? >:D pls don't delete the comment with it :D

But if you don't want to be added that is fine for me just let me know how to proceed with your comments and I will respect your wishes :)

Feel free to add my stats to those of the rest (for the sake of accuracy), but I would rather not be included in anything else. I am taking on these monthly challenges so as to work on my backlog. Notoriety and/or fringe benefits would only get in my way.
