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?

Short games were not so short... But its probably because my addiction to look into every corner 🤔
Alright, today I've finished Pony Island (HLTB, win). Katniss were right, it was very funny. I like games that break 4th wall 💎

the other three are
JYDGE (HLTB, win)
Jalopy (HLTB, PA win)
Sword of Asumi (HLTB, PA win) yeah, I started this on the same day with the event, but at that moment I did not know about it

Thats all. I hope tickets are still given otherwise I will be satisfied with cabbage 😹

This month I've played 4 wins and completed 3 of them, not sure if they count though since they are fairly short games.
AER Memories of Old 2.5h according to HLTB, took me 4.7h
Eets Munchies 1h according to HLTB, took me 4.5h
Bing Bong XL Not listed in HLTB, spend a bit more than 1h
Pivot XL Not listed in HLTB, completed it after 1.2h

Eets Munchies is too short. HLTB says it can be beaten AER is ok, but unfortunately, I'm not sure that it's fair to accept games that are not even listed yet. They could be as short as Eets Munchies. :/

Comment has been collapsed.

Yeah, they are even shorter than Eets Munchies, depending on your skill I guess. But the estimate for Eets Munchies is kinda flawed IMO anyway, it is a puzzle game where you can continue to the next puzzle if you collect 1 out of 3 munchies which is extremely easy, but a puzzle is only really solved once it's solved in its optimal way, right? :D

Anyway, I guess I have to try harder next time then. :D

1h is probably the time to just beat the game, while you tried to complete it. I can't use completionist time for this challenge since most people, myself included, are not completionists. Well, maybe start a bit sooner next time if you wanna unlock most of the achievements. :)

Beat Clear Sky. 15 hours (took me 26 hours) to beat, so its a long game.
Can't get screenshots of the ending cinematic, sadly, because printscreen doesn't want to work for some reason, but I can get screen shots of me finishing the last mission.

The game ends once Strelok's psi defense is disabled. Its basically the final boss, except its more of a chase. If Strelok enters the power plant its game over.
I highly recommend not using the Seva suit. Its bullet proof protection is way too low for this mission (unless you side with the bandits and spec into armor, as bandits are the only faction who can max it out for some reason. I didn't, because they try to steal your money as soon as you see them. Not really good game design, imo...), and enemies will kill you in 1 or 2 hits with it on.

I also beat Cuphead and Slain, but since I played a little bit of it all the way in April, apparently it doesn't count.

It seems to be a 14½ Hours according to HLBT, but since the median time is 15h and you put way more hours in it than the average person, I'll accept. This time only. Next time I suggest choosing a game that actually is 15+ hours long.

I played two medium games:

Deponia Doomsday (the "And everything comes full circle." achievement is for finishing the game)

I just realized that The Sexy Brutale is actually 5h58m (i was looking at the big "main story: 6 hours" and not at the average time) i'll try to finish Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons too this afternoon (is it ok 2 short and a medium?)

EDIT: finished, screenshots

You mean I didn't need to make my little brother cry over Brothers:AToTS today?! (after playing the first chapters alone I thought "hey, it would be funny to play with him, it's like a fairy tale and maybe i'll stop walking against the walls", then... you know, the ending.)

Aw, rats! Looks like I'm not going to make it. Turns out I'm not the best at rushing through games. I enjoy wandering around the gameworld and taking on every sidequest, so trying to minimize my time to completion mostly stressed me out.

Still, this was an awesome idea for an event! I'm sure it spurred a lot of us to start digging through that ever-growing SG backlog. I'm looking forward to whatever future events you host!

(For my own reference:) Here's what I have so far:
Short: The Purring Quest - HLTB - Achievements - Screenies
Short: Sakura Beach - HLTB - Screenies
Short: Beach Bounce - HLTB - Achievements - Screenies
Medium/Long: Pillars of the Earth - HLTB - Achievements - Screenies- WIP halfway done

Will poke you when the last one is done.
Thanks again for the event! It was a great idea to spur myself to finish some games. (Albeit slow and last minute as I am :d)

Welcome back, it seems I may be late to the party as I took a break for a little while as well but I'd like to be considered for future events. I pretty much have 100% of my wins played to various degrees except one stupid early access game that shipped without executable and the developer has abandoned it so never gonna get that true 100%.

Oh well, don't think I'm gonna make it because I have to sleep, but thank you for the chance either way! Rip me and my procrastination + being sick + feeling sad / unproductive last month :d

Hope to make it next time, have a good week!

Hello. I hope that i still have some time to added to your whitelist for the GA !
thats my 2 Medium games that i start/finish in this period :
The flame in the flood
Life is strange
The first episode in life is strange its free and i ended long time ago so i guess episode 2-5 count.

Unfortunately, I cannot accept Life is Strange. The same happened to Licena and she had to play another game. With that said, I'm gonna do the same thing I did with Southrobin and let you participate, but with a "punishment" for not completing the challenge. I'm gonna limit your choice to a 30p or lower game. Let me know if you accept this rule.

Well in this period i have finish and 2 short games :
Black The Fall
Perfect universe
Are they count?. I can not see how long it take to beat Perfect Universe but for me it take more than 2 hours for sure.
If not i am ok and with 30p !

Perfect Universe has no main story time on HLBT. It's gonna have to be the 30p rule.

ok then, just to be sure 30p is 30 euro or lower from normal price right?

If you're not sure if a game is 30p, you can check here. Just type the name of the game and open a GA to see how many points you need to enter.
For example, Blackwater is 20p and Hearts of Iron IV is 40p. The former is ok, the latter, is not.
