Time II album by Wintersun was released a few weeks ago and I've been listening to it a lot (I have access to the full release, including all the extras and demos). Many great songs in the album. I'm from Finland and "Silver Leaves" definitely hits different due to it's final verse being in Finnish, but the album has also made me listen to their older tracks too. Loneliness is my all time favorite and while a few tracks from the new album comes close, nothing still beats it. I was anxiously waiting for the remaster of this song, but the lack of growls just doesn't do it for me. Original Loneliness is just too good.

Haven't posted my 100% Retro Achievement wins since april so I've got quite a few of those...

Videocart-18: Hangman (Fairchild Channel F) - Nothing special really. Quite a few game modes but other than that, pretty basic hangman game from the 70s.
X-Bladez: Inline Skater (GBA) - Had to beat this 6 time for all the achievements, and I didn't have fun even for a second. Quite possibly the 2nd worst GBA game I've ever played. AI is always faster than you, I still don't know what the pickups do in the game, upgrades barely do anything, AI can bump you from behind and there's nothing you can do about it. Everything is just bad. It's also really difficult game.
Thomas & Friends: Hero of the Rails (NDS) - It's a kids game so I really don't have anything to say about it. Very simple but it's kinda supposed to be.
Las Vegas Blackjack (Odyssey 2) - It's just blackjack.
Quad Desert Fury (GBA) - Here's the worst GBA game I've ever played. Handling sucks, there's barely any content, AI is just bad and the graphics are awful.
Postman Pat (PS2) - I rated this game 30% but tbh, it wasn't too bad. It's just simple puzzles and minigames.
Pokemon Red/Blue (GB) - My favorite generation of pokemon games. Really broken games, but also really fun.
Pokemon Yellow (GB) - ^.
Flatout (PS2) - Amazing racing game. Not as good as flatout 2 but it's very close.
Hollywood Squares (NES) - Quiz game from the 80s. Some of the questions/answers were just dumb.
Postman Pat and the Greendale Rocket (GBA) - Simple platformer for kids.
Crash Bandicoot (PS1) - One of the best platformers ever made. Requiring deathless level completions for gems is a bit dumb, but other than that, it's a great game.
Crash Bandicoot 2 (PS1) - Same as Crash 1 except better. Gems were fixed to not require deathless (had to do them anyways, thanks Retro Achievements), proper saving method was added and I like the warp room more than crash 1.
Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends (SNES) - Another game for kids. Extremely short (took me 8 minutes to beat it 100%) and simple game.
Barney's Hide & Seek Game (Mega Drive/Genesis) - Kids game. Playing hide and seek isn't even required to win the game.
Mr. Karoshi (PSP) - Fun little puzzle-platformer. Just the perfect length for a game like this. I feel like these games usually become super repetitive after a while, but this definitely didn't.
Burnout Revenge (PS2) - Another burnout game added to my list of 100% completions. Traffic attack game mode was just boring after a while, traffic checking was weird addition to the series, the game felt repetitive towards the end, the new crash mode is just awful and a lot of luck required to 100% this game. However, it still manages to feel like a burnout game and overall even with its issues it's really fun game.
Piglet's Big Game (GC) - Decided to take part in RA's GameCube launch event and picked this as my first game. Another game meant for kids. Only bad things I have to say about this game are it's awful fixed camera angles and how slow piglet walks. It's simple but fun. There's even a few difficult challenges in the game.

Have you played the solo campaign? If so was it still buggy? And was it good or just ok?

I haven't played solo, but a lot of the bugs are co-op related. Stuff like other player reviving you and you fall through the ground or teleport somewhere else in the map. Bugs that affect the solo game are mostly just annoying, like certain enemies shoot you through walls or enemy snipers that are supposed to be stationary just walk away from their sniping spots (and with walking I mean jumping off a cliff and NOT dying). We also had to play few levels multiple times because the achievements didn't unlock properly. I think it's a good game, but I've heard 4 and 5 are even better. We already downloaded SE4 and I can't wait to start playing it.

Sniper Elite 3 - 100% steam achievements


Played in co-op, authentic difficulty and stealth only (or as much as possible). It's full of bugs, but I'd still consider it one of the best co-op games I've ever played. It's really fun game to play stealthy.

That's the "correct" outcome. No it doesn't make any sense, but it's unlikely to change any time soon.

Oh right. Now that I think about it a bit more, that's definitely how it has always worked (e.g. tony hawk's pro skater 1, GBC and PS1 versions are different but uses the same game page). I guess it's just the missing platform data and other stuff that made think it's the "wrong" game page.

Not sure how this is supposed to be set up, so I'll post here.

X-Bladez: Inline Skater (playstation 1)
https://howlongtobeat.com/game/11362

I finished this game on Game Boy Advance, which has the same name but looks like a completely different game. I tried adding it as a new game, but it just got merged with the PS1 data.

Burnout 3 - 100% completion


One of my favorite PS2 games and I finally managed to 100% it. It's definitely not a perfect game. It's full of bugs and AI cheats a lot. But it's still a lot of fun.

Beat some other smaller games (with 100% hardcore retroachievements) while going for 100% B3:
Family feud (NES)
Color a dinosaur (NES)
Totally not sumo (WASM4)
Presents to the metal (WASM4)
Basic Math (Atari 2600)
MIKU-15 (WASM4)
Sokoban (WASM4)
WLOKU (WASM4)
To the core (WASM4)
Linqword (WASM4)
Micro Quest (WASM4)
Minesweeper (WASM4)
You will return (WASM4)
Hitchcock ni Chousen | Alfred hitchcock presents (3DO)
Remote Control (NES)
Wheel of Fortune: Junior edition (NES)
Death Merchant (Atari 7800)
Quest for the Rings (Magnavox odyssey 2)
Lemonade Stand (Apple II)
Who wants to be a millionaire: Junior (GBA)

Most of them were just meh, but Death Merchant for Atari 7800 was fun. A bit too easy though.

1413 GB Steam, 178 games installed
5 GB GoG, 13 games installed
5 GB Epic, 4 games installed
43 GB Blizzard, 3 games installed

1466 GB, 198 games installed in total

I own about 2000 games in all platforms combined, so that's like 10% of my whole library. I pretty much only play path of exile and emulate retro games, so all of them are just "backlogged but probably never playing again".

Burnout 2: Point of Impact - 100% Retroachievements


Definitely an improvement to the first burnout game. There's still some issues that were fixed in burnout 3 (such as boost requiring full bar to use), but it's really fun game.

Burnout - 100% RetroAchievements


Pretty bad game to be honest. Feels and looks like a tech demo. Races are way too long, there's WAY too much traffic, barely any content, soundtrack didn't really fit the game and the AI is awful. There's so much traffic you're probably more likely to win the race by obeying the traffic laws.

If I had played this on release, I wouldn't be expecting a sequel to this game. And I definitely wouldn't expect one of its sequels to be one of the best games ever released on the system.

I've played about 5 hours of Ultima I so far, and if I'm completely honest, I'm not sure how much longer I can play it. The base game was pretty damn good for a game released in early 80s, but now I'm kinda stuck on the space travel part of the game and it's just awful. I'm just guessing but I think I'm supposed to just kill the enemies on the map or something to progress but the combat is really bad. Travelling also takes a while, you can't save and you can easily game over when trying to land or refill. The game was easily 7-8/10 until this point, but now it's like 4-5/10.

My original steam account only had counter strike on it, but I've lost the login info for that one. Over the years i've subconsciously logged in to that account a few times and then instantly forgotten what password I typed. It also used an email provider that no longer exists to it's pretty difficult to restore. Account creation date maybe like 2007 or something and it was only to play counter strike.

My current account was created on 17th of may, 2011 and on that day I purchased Half-life 2: deathmatch, half-life 2: lost coast and terraria. Probably came back to steam just to play terraria.

ThomasE mentioned that german article and I'm also a sucker for statistics so here's mine:
Steam Level: 89
Most played game: Path of Exile (3161 hours and still actively playing)
Games in Steam account: Profile says 1600 but library says 1727. All games tab on profile says 1649. So probably one of those.
On Steam for: 12 years
Last sale bargain: My last sale purchase was Dead Island Definitive edition collection
At the top of the pile of shame: Dark souls 3. Bought on release for me and my friend. I still haven't watched any speedruns or spoilers for this game because I want to experience it myself. I also need to play a bit more DS2 first.....
I have a feeling I'll never play DS3.

I played that game for 1,2 minutes saw it needed too much clicking and uninstalled it : )

I can't say I didn't consider that option after the first few levels. Had there been like 20 levels instead of just 10, I'd have definitely uninstalled it.

I Commissioned Some Bees 0 - 100% Steam achievements


Where's Waldo style hidden object game, but instead of finding one well hidden waldo, you're instead clicking 100-250 bees "hidden" in very obvious places.

Can you find the bees?

Store page warned that the game is relaxing, but after 40 minutes and 10 completed levels, I feel quite the opposite. My hand hurts from all the clicking and I'm glad the game is over.

Terraria - 100% Steam achievements


After years of playing I finally decided to just bite the bullet and finish the last few achievement grinds I had left. It's a great game and I'll definitely do more playthroughs in the future. Maybe even add some mods.

Vampire Survivors - 100% steam achievements


Lacks build variety and it's pretty poorly balanced. First few hours were fun though.

We Were Here Too - 100% steam achievements


Really short and a bit too easy. A lot of bugs too.

Funnily enough... I put together a GotM Collection today!
All the games should be there, and I plan to add more details to the notes over the next couple of days...

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for! :)

Is it missing a few borderlands games? Game of the Month #20 is "borderlands series", which at the time would have been BL 1+2, pre-sequel and the telltales one (not counting mobile games). Your collection only has the first one.

There seems to be a small bug with the collections. If I look at someone else's collection, then go to my own collection list, the other users collection will show up in my collections with edit buttons and stuff.

I don't have collections to share, but I do have a suggestion just in case someone else wants to make it.

It would be nice to have all the "game of the month" games in one place. Maybe even have one for each year or something. Could also add notes to link the forum discussion pages for each of those games.
