I'm also putting it out there again that I nominated Castle Crashers with the hopes of playing co-op with some people. I am willing to do so on Steam and/or 360.
---

Pretty good set of games. Soul Calibur might be a long clear though.
---

I should mention that I think that I think the 360 deal for SCII ends tomorrow and Castle Crashers on Nov 28
---

Hm... I could probably finish CC and LA if I really tried.

I have CC, and am willing to do co-op on Steam with people.
---

ok, i'll buy castle crashers on steam. (probably)

have the other two games of course

EDIT: castle crashers bought in for co-op next month
---

Looking forward to all three of these this month.
---

I own Link's Awakening, so that should be one I'll get to for sure.
---

Now that the month is over, here's some highlights I recorded of stuff I did through my second playthrough of Odyssey.

These last two contain a post-game kingdom spoiler, so if you're not there yet, just avoid them. The first:

As for this one, I went through and beat the game with close to the minimum moons possible, but also opened every warp portal and activated the flag, so I could warp to most of the kingdoms freely. Then I 100%'d those kingdoms without touching the Odyssey. I wanted to see how long the cutscene would be for putting the moons in the ship.

The first 31 seconds got cut off. Here are the last 30 seconds:

Omg that was ridiculous but amazing.
---

So what's going to 've the requirement for beating SC2? Playing through as every character?
---

Weapon Master?
---

I think Weapon Master is the requirement.
---

Yeah, I thought SCII had some sort of campaign mode, but I ultimately leave it up to the user to determine when a game has been beaten. This is a project based on taking users at their word after all.

About Castle Crashers though, if anyone would be interested in playing with me (I am hoping we can get a full four-person party), I will likely be available every day in December except 4th through 9th, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.
---

How early can we start a game?
---

Ideally, the first of the month.

Now that the month is over

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Anyways I finished Super Mario Odyssey earlier tonight(well the story. Still got lots of moons to collect).

I love it.
---

I meant in terms of getting a nomination.

Speaking of which, just bought Castle Crashers on Steam. It's probably been 5 years since I played on 360. Looking forward to it.
---

What qualifies as "beating" the game? I didn't get 999 moons in SMO, but I did beat its story with close to 500 somewhat recently (launch weekend); and I beat Cuphead probably about a week before SMO released, but never did Master difficulty or w/e, just Normal.
---

I don't think completion is a requirement

Speaking of which

Beat Kirby and the Amazing Mirror

final percentage like 70 something

You're good

We should probably get a headcount for everyone who intends to play Castle Crashers co-op.
---

Me! Steam.
---

I have the "HD" version on Xbone.
---

I purchased the steam version for co-op castle crashers fun.
---

Super Mario Odyssey beaten.

Well, the main story. I still have a million moons to collect.
---

Castle Crasher ownership (for co-op reasons)

Steam
KCF
Lolo
MSG
Wickle

XB1
Waluigi

360 (XB1 BC)
KCF
---

I got on Steam.
---

I just saw that I can buy the Remastered version on XB1 for $5 I assume because I own the original version for 360. I might end up doing that sometime next month if you still need someone to play with Waluigi (assuming you want to).
---

Gameking has beaten Super Mario Odyssey.

Loved the ending. It definitely lived up to all the hype.
---

ohey it's december somewhere

time to start soul calibur 2

haven't hooked up my gamecube in years.
---

I will put up the new topic tomorrow
---

Started SC2 last night. Gosh, it's been a decade since I've turned on this game, but it's a blast. Currently in Chapter 9 of the first Weapon Master.
