Happy New Year, and welcome!
Credit goes to tazzyboyishere for first starting this in 2016. Basically, there are 50 challenges outlined below that will require you to beat 52 games total. This isn't a competition and there's no prize for winning aside from a sense of accomplishment. This is just a fun thing to participate in while we all work through our video game libraries. It also gives us a place to discuss what we're playing. Feel free to join in! Rules: - A game can only be used for one challenge - Use your own judgment to decide if game fits in a certain category - Games started in 2016 or earlier are fine as long as they're finished in 2017 - Please add your own games to the spreadsheet linked to below, which anyone can edit - When using the spreadsheet, please don't mess with checklists/tallies that aren't yours - There's a tab listing favorite games in the spreadsheet if you need help with challenge 43 - If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

To help with motivation, beating one game a week is enough to complete the challenge, with an extra week leftover. I know this will help me keep up with it.

43. Beat another user's favorite game
Super Mario 64 DS I played the DS version when they said the N64 one but I figure this challenge should be pretty lenient about minor stuff like that 1/50 WalkingWiki posted... Are we still having ranks, like 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. on the tally sheet? It felt kind of needless to me. I'll occasionally reorder the tally so that whoever is highest is in first anyway, no need for a 1st next to their name.

This could probably fit into some of the other theme challenges too (or maybe even 50-52 if the fifth chapter is released this year!), but I'm a long ways from having to worry about moving games around, so w/e. 2/50 --- Archive of my AA playthrough topic and some others' playthrough/ranking topics: http://zyxyzarchive.x10host.com/ ...

First game of the year goes to 9. Beat a remake or enhanced port Gravity Rush Remastered (and I even went for the platinum, what a fun game.) Can also knock out 47.

13. Beat a WRPG
Path of Exile - I played this way back in beta, when act 3 Piety was the final boss, but this is my first time beating the full game. I'm counting normal clear as "beating" the game but I'm going to keep going. Playing as a marauder with one-handed maces. After my first three name choices were taken I ended up with a fire-based name (Pyroxenite), so I think I'll pick Chieftain for thematic consistency. 47.
