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?

Yes!
No!
I don't care.

Can I play Zeno Clash 2, Section 8: Prejudice, and Lone Survivor? The latter two don't have achievements.

Sure. Just don't forget to post a screenshot of the ending credits here.

Awesome.

BTW, Lone Survivor was in the Humble Indie Bundle V that I won, in case you're wondering.

How about a video?

It turns out Section 8:Prejudice does have achievements, but only on GFWL.

On to Zeno Clash 2.

I'm not even sure if I'm more surprised by the fact that you recorded a video or that GFWL still exists in 2018 xD

This was the first time I installed GFWL, and I ran into quite a few issues along the way.

I'm used to recording stuff, and I also figured a video would be a better proof, since a lot of games allow you to view the credits before you've finished them.

I finally finished Lone Survivor, my last game!

Unfortunately, my recording software wasn't able to capture the game for some reason, so no video this time. I took a couple of screenshots instead: 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Games with playtime, but no achievements unlock may be played for this event, if you have some of those.
Well, there is still a month to play pillars or something else, I believe in you! xD

Thanks, nice to see you're still around as well!

Finished MechaNika and Child of Light. Tried See No Evil, but it doesn't feel like something I'd like to play right now, so maybe I will swap it with something.

alright might be my first time trying this event

i have Bound by Flame (13hr) flame
and of orcs and men (12hr) orcs

i was going to play both of these before i read this event because i finished spiders studios other two games mars war logs and technomancer this week. so i wanted to keep playing games from the same developer spider studio . good thing i didnt start them just yet or i'd have to spend time trying to choose something else

and i choose two small game backups incase i only finish one of these and dont have time to finish the other before the event ends.

Hey LastM! Nice to see you with another event! :)

I really like the fact that this event is a shorter one. I enjoyed beating 8 games of various lengths to get to the TOP 10 the last time, but since I'll have an exam session in a month and have a ton of programming projects to write before that, I wouldn't be able to do the same thing this time ;)

I'll play 2 mediums: Tex Murphy: Martian Memorandum (7h) and Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon (9h). Won them together as a package and already played the first entry from the series (these are the second and third). They are super old and don't have achievements so I'll provide screenshots upon finishing them.

Looks like the perfect time to get started on Darksiders! I'm not sure i'll have the time to actually beat it with work and all, but i'll still have fun trying :D
Thank you for organizing such a nice event!

Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing if one played their game or just idled it if they haven't unlocked a single achievement, therefore, I cannot accept games without a single achievement unlocked. Sorry

I just went through the topic and am curious why nobody has asked that yet, but: What if I haven't won anything yet?

Well, you might try to win something before the event ends or simply wait for the next one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I guess there are not THAT many new users who decide to actually use the site (3k of registers per month, but we don't know how many of them stay) + probably at the start people focus on entering giveaways and don't use the forum that much prior to winning their first game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is ok to play?

  • Fran Bow
  • Aviary Attorney
  • Rise of the Argonauts

You don't need to play all of them. "Fran Bow" and "Rise of the Argonauts" are medium games while "Castle of Illusion" and "Aviary Attorney" are small games.
You only need to play either two medium games OR one medium and two small games.
Of course you can play all of them if you want ;)

Won a Fallout 4 but I have been holding off because I really wanted to buy the Season pass (the question also is, is it worth it?) first and I also wanted to put it off for later because right now it is crazy at work (law office) since everybody is freaking out over GDPR (thanks EU). Hopefully will kick it off this weekend :)

Hey, nice event!
This event will also help me with my little crusade :P

I've been meaning to play Shadow of Mordor for some time and looks like this topic will lead me to it!
Link to my profile so you can see this win It was GOTY actually but doesn't really matter since normal version also longer than 15h
HLTB
Achievements - I checked achievements and looks like there is no achievement tied to end of the game, so I guess I'll take a screenshot :)
Screenshots
BTW I have 5.4 hrs on record, yeah I used to idle cards, shame on me :(

Hi, I will play two Medium games: Alter Ego (8.5h) and Memento Mori (7.5h).
I will start playing them soon but first I must finish another Playing Appreciated win.
Can you please tell me what is the deadline for beating those games?
Thanks
