It's too bad South Park isn't available digitally, I would totally gift someone a copy

lol, the game is so bad it's great!

Used to play it at a friend's place despite his repeated protests of how awful the game was.

Any thoughts on the next theme? I considered posting a huge list of games and have a pseudo-vote for them and call it "Community Choice". I also considered just picking a bunch of my favorites and calling it....I don't know what.

I'm sure December is a tough month for most with the holidays and all, so maybe another short game theme would be good. Or an "easy game" theme. Or maybe a beat 'em up month since those are awesome and generally short (and easy, if you're a weenie like me and play the ones with unlimited continues!)

With the Nintendo Switch looming in March 2017, I figured we could use February and / or March as Nintendo and hit some of the biggest and best from the Big N.

I think short/easy is a good idea for December especially with the holidays.

Beat 'em up could work, but how about fighters? A "completion" only really counts as an Arcade win, so that could work well for a short span of time. If it's a modern game (Street Fighter IV / V) than we could actually group together online and have a few fights. I'm a bit of a fan of fighters, I'm not really sure about you guys.

+1 for short/easy. Could call it "Conquer the Easy Ones" or something equally nerdy.

I have LOTS of ideas that I'll be sharing on here soon and would love for some community input I'm trying to pull in games from all genres, eras, consoles, etc. It should be a nice mix!

Are there any games that are themed around Christmas? I think we did the Visceral Clean Up game last year.

Duke Nukem 3D Nuclear Winter and Die Hard: Nakitomi Plaza come to mind as far as Christmas themes go.

@jwcooley - If you come over to my house and play Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer for Wii, you can have a completion in about 10 minutes. I'm not exaggerating.

I'd love to have a bounty for Duke Nukem 3D Nuclear Winter and / or Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza...but are those accessible anywhere? That's really the main issue with most of the games on my list. I know I have Die Hard floating around somewhere and it should work on my Windows 98 machine But it will be packed up soon...

# 117 - Posted on 11/22/2016 17:18:34

Yeah, I never said anything about how easy they'd be to get, lol

At least nuclear winter is a part of one (or more) of the bundle packs of Duke 3D that were (are?) floating around in various places.

Die Hard on the other hand is still physical copies only as far as I'm aware (or alternatively developing a peg leg, eye patch, and a parrot on your shoulder)

I wouldn't mind seeing Halo: Spartan Assault and Warhawk as bounties

@dhobo - You're right, Nuclear Winter was on the Megaton Edition! For some reason I thought it wasn't, but I'm pleasantly surprised Unfortunately, it's not available to purchase anymore, but a lot of us on here seem to have it. I suppose Die Hard Trilogy would work too, but it's probably even worse in terms of accessibility hehe. I played that game a tooooon back in the '90s...

@jwcooley - Speaking of the '90s, Warhawk has been on my list since then. It's a pretty fun game, but I recall it being rather tough. It's supposed to be super short though, like a few hours long....that probably doesn't include restarts though, d'oh!

What about the original Twisted Metal? No idea if it's difficult, short, long, whatever....but it's always been on my radar too.

I think the original Twisted Metal is pretty short since it's only a few levels and you're encouraged to play with each character / vehicle (kinda like a fighting game). I'm historically AWFUL at car combat games, so for me it's an insanely difficult game. I've tried it before and failed miserably, though it's a rather fun game. I tried playing it the other day after you posted and here's proof of my lack of skills:

I'm thrilled about this theme. Because of Completionator I've already made more progress on my backlog in 2016 than ever before. And now it's time to finish the year with a rush of completions, lol.

EDIT: Also that Twisted Metal playthrough is about on par with my skills. I'm awful at that game.
