Hello board 8! My name is Logan, but you can call me Exdeath. I've been a lurker on this forum since almost ten years ago, when I filled out a bracket for the first Game of the Decade contest. I remember running with the logic that absolutely anything Zelda or Final Fantasy would win against anything else - which meant predicting games like Dissidia and FFXII would win several matches. A decade later, I had a 96th percentile score in the 2020 contest - an improvement, but well outside the range for leaderboard placement or prize eligibility.

I was quite satisfied by the 2020 GotD contest, but like with so many other things, nothing could live up to my first time. One thing I remember is voting for a lot of games I hadn't played. I voted for Return of the Obra Dinn based on its reputation. I voted for Disco Elysium and Divinity: Original Sin II because they carried the torch for games I loved, like Fallout 2 (and because KHIII looks like s***.) I voted for The Witcher 3 because it has every appearance of being a much better game than Skyrim, which I *have* played. Although it's in the past now, I wish I had been more informed. Thus this project.

Here's the deal:

- I will play every game in the bracket for GotD 2020, in order of North American release date.
- While I reserve the right to quit any game at any time, I will try to finish every single one.
- For games with no well-defined ending, I will play them for two weeks.
- I will play every day, and post an update every session.
- This will take years. My two-week rule for "never-ending" games implies a pace that will see me complete Death Stranding, the last game, in 2025.

If you would like to join me on this journey of discovery, expect the first update in the evening. I work night shift, and my bed is beckoning.
