Challenge Groundrules

So it begins, the climb to the top. I'm going to finish what I started and get to ground zero for my backlog.  And I'm going to catalog that journey here. Starting in January 2020 with the games I've played so far. If anyone's reading this (and why would you? I don't blame you), I would love for you to join me with your own blog that I could follow. Simply decide on X number of games you want to reach. Not all games you will want to complete (unless you're a massochist). So I'm calling it the "content" status. Content that it's complete, throughly experienced or not for you. But you must post why, regardless. In my quest I'll be climbing from 1 to 500 games experienced and content!

Ground rules - non-negotiable 

• Cant uninstall games until posting thoughts (100 words min, 1000 max) - once content with it
• This is about having fun - if I don't like it nor want to play it, it's moved on into Moved on (i.e. content) 
• Everything in content must have been experienced for a minimum of 30 minutes to get a good sense of the game
• Games played elsewhere or before Steam can be content (i.e. for me Crysis, STALKER, F.E.A.R.) - don't betray my trust! 

Ground rules - personal (choose your own!) 

• 1 game per week - as long as your games aren't exceeding your weeks you're winning! (i.e. Week 7 - Game 10 = SUCCESS!)
• Cheat: PlayStation games will be mentioned here as well - as I go between the two platforms often and love their 1st party games 
• Can only purchase a new big game if I intend to play and finish it then - and only bimonthly (excluding the very occasional juicy humble bundle)  

Comment your blog below so I can check out games you're playing!
(But let's be honest, this blog is about me talking to myself about the games I've played)

Bonus points: Set the publish date of your challenge groundrules to the date you aim to complete the challenge!

Edit 1: Removed the games bought (see below). Omg all the retro games and PS4 bargains I've bought since I just can't it BURNS. Excluding retro games I think I've maintaed the bi-monthly rule pretty well, but definitely not the play right away rule. I need to get that back on track. 

Edit 2: Have now included update and misc. posts outside of games. They currently come in three forms and are also numbered. 

• Allsorted - Games that aren't worthy of a full/numbered post
• Intermission - update post - usually after a hiatus, change in rules or gaming patterns 
• Couch Coop - long over due but this will come in waves as I discuss games played with friends. Might consider including this as separate count (but overall tally) if it's regular enough. They are on the shelf and they do count.
