I've been thinking about a fresh start for a little while and I've decided that this event/GA was the way to do it. I emptied both my black and whitelist for this, therefore everyone has the exact same chance to win the game their heart desire.

The TL;DR: Play sg wins (if you have already played 100% of your wins or know someone who has done it, let me know and you/the person will get a free pass) -> get invited to a WL GA -> Write whatever game you want in the description of said WL GA before it ends -> if you win the WL GA, I'll buy the chosen game for you.

The complete rules:
1) Choose some games you won here and finish the required amount(The playtime should be based on Howlongtobeat.com average main story time), according to the table below:

Type Length Amount
Short 2 - 5h59m 4
Medium 6 - 14h59m 2
Long >15 h 1

Edit: Some people are having doubts, so let me explain. You either have to play 1 long game OR 2 medium games OR 4 short games.
Games started/finished before the start of this event(18/05/2018) do NOT count.

2) You will have until the end of the GA (~1 month) to prove it to me, either through a screenshot of the ending scene/credits or a link to the corresponding achievement page. (The game needs to be beaten/finished, which means no endless/multiplayer-only games)
3) If you manage to beat enough games and to show me some proof, I'll whitelist you, giving you access to a giveaway.
4) Write the name of the game you want inside the WL giveaway. If you win it, I'll buy that game for you. (The whitelist GA is more like a placeholder, but you'll still get it, if you want)
Don't forget to write the game you want before the WL ends. Think about it before writing it down, I won't accept changes later. Do NOT edit your post inside the WL giveaway. You'll be disqualified.
NO deluxe/gold/collector's/whatevernamemarketingiscallingthesedays edition. NO Preorders.(If it launches before the end of the WL GA, it's fine!) NO games from GOG, Origins, Blizzard, Uplay...

Some giveaways:
STRAFE: Millennium Edition
Death's Hangover
Mr. Shifty
Crazy Machines 3

If you don't care about any of this, here, have a picture of a cute doge. (You can also have fun with the poll)
PS: Thanks for the helping me set this up, Tempete! :)
PS2: It's good to be back!

If pro and con are opposites, wouldn't the opposite of progress be congress?

I don't care.

I decided to play 4 short games.

Tacoma Achievement page: https://steamcommunity.com/id/theoutlaw91/stats/343860/?tab=achievements

This was a wishlisted game of mine and it delivered. I expected nothing less from Fullbright. They deliver fantastic narrative experiences.

Home Achievement page: https://steamcommunity.com/id/theoutlaw91/stats/Home/?tab=achievements

I didn't think a pixel game like this could actually be scary but the audio makes it very spooky. I'm going to do a few more playthroughs of this one to get the additional endings and uncover more of the story. It plays sort of like a choose your own adventure book.

Teslagrad Achievement page: https://steamcommunity.com/id/theoutlaw91/stats/249590/?tab=achievements

Fantastic game. I'm grateful for this giveaway thread because it got me to play this. I would have gotten around to it eventually but it wasn't high on my priority list. Liked it way more than I thought Iwould at first glance.

Jackal Endgame screenshot: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/930437902035819571/071191E59E44A50A780BC4E894F833DCB582C613/

I might be the first person to actually finish this game. Which is no small feat since it crashes to desktop every time I fail a mission. It's an asset flip that shouldn't be on steam. I actually had to play this monstrosity twice because I forgot to screencap the end credits and it wouldn't let me continue from the last level.

I've played all my wins, so there's that out of the way.

In unrelated game playing, I recently beat Pillars of Eternity and noticed that my first achievement there came coincidentally the day this started, though I had definitely began playing a few days before that. That's largely irrelevant as I didn't win that on SG but hey, it's a big game and I did about everything minus the expansions, so I guess I just wanted to pat myself on the back.

Glad to see you back trickingpersuading people into playing their games.

I started playing The Long Dark after you created this event, even though I didn't start it specifically because of this event. As you might know I intend to play and finish all my games won on SG (roughly 70% done as of now) :) Would it still count? I could also add that they have only made two of the planned five episodes of the story mode so far, I finished both, plus some "sandbox" survival. HTLB has an 18 hour average for the story mode. Otherwise I'm planning on starting NieR:Automata, and might just be able to finish it before the event ends.

Here's how I've done so far - I hope it counts, as I'm not sure I have time left. I'm starting to think HLTB underestimates shorter games somewhat! I know M1 is really short, but I read all the text at speed and it still took an hour - not the 16 mins that HLTB claims. Anyway, great event and I really enjoyed playing these - which I guess is the whole point.

Game HLTB My Time Achievements Status
JYDGE 2.5 18 5/15 Beaten
Mr. Shifty 4 10 8/14 Beaten
Epistory - Typing Chronicles 5.5 7 47/55 Beaten
M1: A Death in the Desert 0.3 1.5 19/19 Completed

Quick question, would 2 short games and 1 medium one (14h) qualify? Haven't had as much time this month to work on won games.
Thank you!

Hey there! I completed 4 games (not sure if shord or medium... anyway):
The last door - "The Veil" achievement indicates finishing the game.
Nightmares from the deep: the cursed heart - there actually isn't an achievement for completing the game in normal mode (there is only for expert mode), but last achievements I got are unlocked at the end of the game.
Enigmatis 2: the mists of Ravenwood - "Timber!" achievement.
Enigmatis 3: the shadow of Karkhala - "Into oblivion" achievement.

Oh, wait, wait, I think I have a "long" (and great!) game that I won here and finished recently! Here:

Resident Evil 4 HD. Dates: 6/1 to 6/7. My achiev page with the end-of-story "We're Going Home" achievement, and the HLTB page (15h18m for the PC version).

Yes, I do have a Long one!! :D ;D :D

Cheers, and thanks!

Edit: edited because I am stupid -- I had written all the info for "Steamworld Heist", which is another great game I played recently (and with a great soundtrack! Recommended!)... But then I realized, that was not a SG win at all.

Oh well, I still have a long one!

you linked bluerose twice.
edit: can you also link that picture using your steam account? I cannot accept pics uploaded to imgur or any other website like that because people tried to cheat in a previous event using them.

Steam screenshots don't work with the game. I could try to find an alternative, but last time didn't work out.

Ahaha I meant in terms of trying to figure out how long the average game length is. On steam forums, it says "The short game option is around 10+ hours, and the long game option can be 30+ hours."

Would my one game be fine if I played it on the long game option?

Just finished Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - achievements.
According to How long to beat the Main Story game time is 15h, but when you like to explore every corner, read books, etc then this is a real time eater;)

Anyway, I've spent a good time in this dark cyberpunk world :)

Good news, I found out how to force steam to upload Clear Sky screenshots!
Except a few screenshots of the credits soon, because I'm up to the end of Limansk, which is the point of no return.

Phew, just made it. Played and beat Saints Row 3 so I could finally play and beat Saints Row 4 and check that off my list. It was a blast, though. SR 4, in particular, was amazing! It's 15+ hours by HLTB, though of course it took longer, and I'm definitely going back to finish off some of the optional challenges.

Thanks for providing the inspiration I needed to get around to playing these games.
