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?

Welcome back LastM, your absence was really missed and I'm glad you are back :)

I'll try to participate in this challenge although I don't have many won games without achievements. I'll start with Frostpunk and we'll see from there.

Hi LastM

I've just finished Risen 3 that has a HLTB time of 26h, in addition to Frostpunk that I had beaten before.

I'll continue playing wins (have 2 more I want to play this month) but I think your challenge is completed :)

If it's a long game, it will be enough, however, if it's not you're still have to beat another medium game. Sorry.

You'll need another medium game.

I was thinking of starting Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller, does it count as a long game for this? By the way, you might want to be more stringent on those proof for finishing a game.

Yes. It's 19h long according to HLTB. Have fun with it. It's my favorite detective game on steam!
Don't worry. I'll check everything.

I can't rate it as highly as you. Even though the cognition powers are well implemented, especially regression, the plot is so contrived at times and the writing is iffy. In one of the commentaries, the dev talked about how he wrote some lines but only realized those lines don't make any sense much later. And by that time, he could only get one of the voice actors back to record again so only one of those problematic lines was rewritten, which doesn't really help make anything better at all. Those lines still don't make any sense within their context. This actually says a lot about the state and quality of the game itself.

Congrats! I liked the story a lot, especially chapters 1-3. Chapter 4 is terrible. 5 is kind of a mess.

There's no 5. ;) Since you didn't go through the bonus content, you might be interested to know that the dev said Cognition 2 has been written and it'll take place in London.

It's been a while. I remember liking it a lot in the beginning. Then I got the part were you go back and forth in time. I hated that part. The end felt a bit rushed. I thought that the time-traveling part was in a different chapter from the ending. I guess, they're both in chapter 4.
Good to know that they're planning a sequel :)

Not that it really matters but just to make sure you don't remember the wrong info, the time-traveling part is in 3. 4's starting is in the past but you can't 'time-travel' in those.

Is it ok to play games that I've idled but not played? The game is called Labyronia and stated in the HLTB its 17h 41m. Since I've just recently cleared my f.e.a.r all 3 episode, its time to clear another game :D

Sure. Idling before playing is ok.

I'm going to be playing

  • STAR WARS:Jedi Knight:Mysteries of the Sith
  • Final Dusk ( My playtime on this one was idling for cards )
    The star wars one is 8 hours to beat main story
    With Final Dusk the only time submitted is 12 hours, but it's completionist, so i don't know what to think about it

EDIT: As i recently won Tropico 5 i will be playing it instead, Main Story is 20hours according to HLTB

I'd like to do this, I'm just not sure which games I'll enjoy, so I've come up with a couple of options if that's ok?

2x short + 1 medium game:
(short) Agent Walker: Secret Journey
(short) Midnight Mysteries: The Edgar Allan Poe Conspiracy
(med) FEAR or (med) The Night of the Rabbit

That's a cool idea for an event! In Tropico 4, I have 105 hours. It has 38 hours for the main story.

You need to play a game that you won on SG and that you haven't started yet. Tropico 4 does not count since you already played it for 100h

Welcome back, LastM! That's a great event idea again! Not participating ..though there are a few wins with 0 achievements left, I'm currently focused on some old WL'ed games I got elsewhere. Have a bump and hopefully many participants!

if you won it here, sure.
edit: I just remembered this game. IIRC, if you just copy and paste solutions like I did, you can finish it in less than 3 hours. I'd prefer if you play another game.

For me, looking at solutions would ruin the fun/challenge of the game. But I can understand. So I have this other one that I'm interested, just not sure if would be able to achieve 100% in a month:
Shoppe Keep. This one is acceptable?

Good idea btw, encourages to tackle some more games.

Sure. You can play TIS-100, if you want as well. BTW, you don't need to 100% a game for it to count. beating the main story is more than enough.

Thanks! I'm a software developer but this game is hard even for me! took some time but I managed to finish the main section (story) and the side achievements. The last achievement will take way more time, but it's not part of the main "story".

I like your idea. It encourages me to finally not just collect but rather enjoy playing the games I've won. Thank you.

PS I know you can check when the achievements were made. I haven't played all extras. I quickly took some pictures of the end credits. Hopefully you can see it was finished.

Don't forget to post the screenshot or a link to the achievement page here or else I won't be able to see and might forget about it. You can either edit the post above or write another one. I recommend the latter as I get warning about a new message, so I probably won't miss it.

Glad you liked the idea!

All right, let's try this with these four short games that I won but haven't touched yet:

  • Keen Dreams (2hrs) - 0% done
  • Helium (3hrs) - 0% done
  • Onliken (3.5hrs) - 0% done
  • Galactic Arms Race (4.5hrs) - 0% done

Hopefully, this is acceptable.

I've only won a few games - Circularity, Star Wars Starfighter, and Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. The latter two are short and medium, but Circularity doesn't have a time on howlongtobeat. Am I able to qualify if I do all three?

If you beat all three, you're in because you'll have beaten 100% of your wins.

Thx for this GA.
I have won 6 GA but received 5. Some games doesn't have HLTB Time:

Larva Mortus (Not Received)
Trials of the Gauntlet -- (I already beat this one, it took 83 mins)
Lost Castle 13h 33m
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R 5h 28m
Sacrifice Dungeon --
Suits: A Business RPG 3h 44m

So I got 1 medium. 2 shorts and 1 w/o HLTB time. Can I participate?

Comment has been collapsed.

I don't know where you got that 13h 33m for Lost Castle nor the rest, but when I talk about game lenght, I'm talking about main story time. In Lost Castle's case, for example, it would be 8½ Hours, therefore a medium game.
However, since both Sacrifice Dungeon and Trials of the Gauntlet seem broken and/or with no playtime, I guess you could participate by beating the rest of your games.

I used howlongtobeat.com to track my game list, but it seems it shows the lenght for everything in the game not only main story, guess that's why. By beating the rest of my games you mean just Lost Castle, GG and Suits?
