It's getting pretty close to the end of the year, so if anyone has suggestions for changes to challenges, please feel free to share!

I'm kinda iffy on the subscription service challenge. Mostly because I use this as backlog motivation and that one feels a little counter intuitive.

But it's really not hard to just download a little Indie game and run with that, so I'm pretty neutral over all if people like that one.

I do like that one. A lot of my backlog now is made up of games I picked up for free at some point, at this point.

As for the genre parts, that's entirely subjective. There's nothing to stop you swapping in/out genres based on what you like to play. For example i don't play JRPG's so i'll probably swap that one for Racing again.

The TVTropes challenge (49) was the only one on the list i couldn't see the point of. I'd probably change it to "Beat a game mentioned in a video game section on TVTropes" rather than through picking a random page.

Some other ideas:
Beat a game featuring the voice of an actor/actress who is best known for movie roles.
Beat a game that features talking (earth) animals.
Beat a game in the Top 10 for a particular system on GameFAQs.
Beat a game that has less than 5 topics on its GameFAQs page board.
Beat a game someone else in this topic has beaten.

There should probably be a few more GameFAQs-based challenges.

Well, nothing's stopping you because this is all just for fun and such but that's not really how it works >_>
