Sorry for letting it purge again!
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!

Is it possible for me to change what my favorite game is on the list? After some reflection, I'd like to change it to Mass Effect 2 My only concern about this would be if someone was planning to use your favorite game for that challenge. However, in this case, two people said Batman: Arkham Asylum were their favorite game, so that isn't a problem! I went ahead and added Mass Effect 2 to the doc. EDIT: To expand on my point, people can definitely change their favorite game, but I think it would be fair to keep the old game on the list too for the rest of 2017. In your case, it just wasn't a problem because someone else had the same favorite --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** ... Copied to Clipboard!

Croixleur Sigma Fun little hack and slash/action RPG hybrid. I was going for the trophy that requires you to beat the story mode in under ten minutes, and an extra battle popped up after the end and the credits rolled, so I'm counting this as beaten.

I haven't played a Walking Dead game since the first season, but if romance is a central theme in later seasons, then I probably won't get them. 1st season is still unquestionably the best, I thought that 2 and 3 both had some major issues that I won't really get into here. I will say that the overall quality has gotten worse with each game. I had several really stupid glitches in the last episode, including a previously dead character showing up in the background just fine for a few seconds, which apparently happened to a lot of people.

Not sure if I can count this yet, but I did beat the Wall of Flesh. I just haven't done hardly any of the hard mode stuff, which I don't see a point in yet, because the Moon Lord isn't even in the console versions yet. So I guess it's considered beaten.
