@CorriganX It turns out I'm too lazy to install and do the tournament games. Well, except Spelunky. I've cleared that game before, but I died on 1-2 to a damned arrow trap! Such a noob.
In any event, I'm happy with someone else winning Don't worry about my entries when it comes to tallying-up time.
I ended up grabbing Rebirth during the sale, and am finding I can get past how unpleasing it is too look at, and am having a lot of fun with it. I've beaten mother once, and am not sure what to do now though. Should I just keep doing new runs (will they increase in difficulty or anything?) or do the challenges or what?

Keep going, you've barely scratched the surface of the main game.

Played a bit of Back to Bed last night. It's a really fun and pretty game but can also be a little frustrating. It also made me really hate alarm clocks. More-so, that is :P
Anyway I'm gong to try to beat this before going back to Witcher 2.

Taking care of the Challenges as they come up can help with the main game a pretty good deal, for the items they unlock. High Brow, Solar System, and Darkness Falls in particular will get you some pretty good Runes, and Wakka Wakka unlocks Death's Touch, which is excellent. i'd, personally, avoid Cat Got Your Tongue and Suicide King, 'cause they can be more frustrating than fun (also, their unlocks aren't really anything to write home about). Though you may not have them unlocked yet, anyway.
Keep going through the main game with everyone for their unlocks, and for unlocking the later stages, and, 'natch, for enjoyment's sake. Like Shimsai said, there's tons more stuff waiting for you.
last reminder for the tournament, if you havent finished your games and sent me the scores, you have just over 24 hours to do so! It ends tomorrow at midnight EST.
I just have to my pinball score left to do. I was trying to warm up on the Rome table, but I'm so out of practice that I could barely beat @Pixelated Pixie's score. That's the only game I'd really played before the contest, so I'd like to make sure my one run has a reasonable chance of being non-terrible.
I think that the internet has been for years on the path to creating what is essentially an electronic Necronomicon: A collection of blasphemous unrealities so perverse that to even glimpse at its contents, if but for a moment, is to irrevocably forfeit a portion of your sanity.

I just want to take a moment out to say: fuck bejeweled 2. you wouldn't think match 3 mechanics could evolve or change that much, but playing that game by comparison, uhg. It ruined me when I went and tried to play MPQ later in the evening, and puzzles and dragons. When the gems go shiny, there actually harder to pick out as colors to match (at least with my eyes) which makes it substantially harder to get stuff lined up.

I was gonna say the same thing. Making glowy effects and shining gems distracts my eyes from seeing patterns, maybe that was the point though.

Also, not sure of the requirements but I wouldn't mind an invite to the PA Adventure steam group if at all possible. I mostly just been playing Diablo 3 with the PA clan but I just got a new video card so I'll be doing a fair amount of Steam gaming
You know how in MMOs, sometimes you'll go exploring and find an area way above your level, and if you try to kill the things there, all you can do is plink away at them for single digit damage and it takes like 10min to kill a single enemy assuming you don't get splattered while kiting it around?

Except rather than one enemy it's ten enemies and it's not plinking it's rockets and fire and lightning and bullets flying everywhere. Kiting? No, you're dancing through the flame because there's no clean path to run. It is the most glorious chaos. And then it ends and you're standing on top of the pile of the vanquished, and you grab the shiny new toy. And it does something silly like shoot rockets than blow up into chain lightning and to reload you throw the thing at an enemy's face where it explodes and then a new one teleports into your hand ready to do it all again. But since that would be boring, you teleport into the middle of another wave of enemies and phase in and KABOOOOOOM they all go running on fire and you're unloading guns blazing, the middle of a storm of madness and death and awesome. And then you die because you were riding the rush and adrenaline and got in too deep.
I think Borderlands only feels "plinky" at the early levels of the game when you've got like 2 basic weapons and like 1 skill point. Which is admittedly a bit of a problem, though it's something a lot of action-RPGs suffer from. But it's not near the whole experience.
Naah, there's some really bad scaling curves in the later playthroughs. though it evens out a little once you top out, level-wise.
Still fun though.

Holy shit, you guys. Her Story is pretty great. It's the first game since Fez that had me keeping a notebook that looked like the scribblings of a mad man. So amazingly satisfying to piece things together.
It's a better second season of True Detective than the actual second season of True Detective.

Screenshots are on my profile, but I'm pretty sure I won't be up on a podium.
*I didn't get a screenshot of this run. The one posted is my much better second run.
Couldn't get back into the feel of Pinball, which was disappointing since it was the only game on the list I'd spent any real time on. Trackmania was a lot of fun as was the bit of the Bulletstorm campaign I tried.
My personal highlight was going into One Way Heroics completely blind. I died talking to people in the castle, not realizing that I needed to move to right to stay alive.
Thank you to everyone who helped put the tournament together. I really don't want to see the final rankings, but it was a lot of fun.

After monday we'll be calculating points, and if we have a tie the tiebreaker will be announced. Good luck to everyone still left to play.
And the 29th sneaks up on me faster than I thought it would after being fully and utterly sucked into ARK.
Hopefully work doesn't beat me up too much and I can try to run myself through these in time, if not, it's my loss for being so distracted by Dino Friends! (Which I can't really regret, been having WAY too much fun...)

I just want to add that post game monster in Borderlands 2 was impossible for me to beat.
I know I probably should have asked for some co op help, but I'm kind of stubborn and want to do these things on my own.
Not to say I haven't enjoyed the co op in Borderlands 2. It was great! All the co op games I've played with members on this forum have been great. But just hate having to organize a specific time to play.
