Done, I completed the 5 games I put on the spreadsheet.

Unless you knock out some super short games completing 52 by the end of the year will be really rough.
And a reminder to all, though I'll be more vocal towards the end of the period, but make sure you update the Sheets with the proper color for game completion. When I do the raffle at the end I go off of what's marked green for completed.

Finally managed to beat 428: Shibuya Scramble! Now it's just The Messenger left.
Changed Dragon Quest Builders 2 to Half-Life: Source in my blitz. I played the former on Switch but with the PC announcement I will wait until I can afford that. Wasn't as happy with performance and controls on Switch as I was with the first one.
I haven't updated my entries in the spreadsheet in a while, but I've managed to complete some games.

Theswweet I'll post your CS3 review here too. https://www.rpgsite.net/review/9078-the-legend-of-heroes-trails-of-cold-steel-iii-review Maybe you didn't have time to talk to every single NPC after every story beats, but would you say that they also have some consistent degree of polish in terms...

I finished Greedfall the other day!

It's three weeks until the end of the Blitz. It's about time people start making sure they're keeping up with updating their section of the sheet and start plowing through those games you haven't completed! There will be a raffle at the end and I will base it off of the games you marked completed so if you forget to go in and color a game green then that entry will be ignored.
Also, please PM me if you're interested in chipping into the prize pool. I've offered up $20 to get it started but it's always nice to get it larger so that the possible prize someone picks can be larger games or whatever. I'm open to most common ways to receive money and I'll post for every amount received so there's transparency that I was sent money. I've done this over in the PC Era Discord without any issues. Just let me know your top one or two preferred ways to send money and if I don't have it set up I can look into setting things up if possible.

Finished Jim is Moving Out, so that's 2!
Been slowly working my way though American Fugitive but the missions are pretty uninspiring so it's a bit of a slog.

Finished Subsurface Circular so that's one more game from my list.
Only SteamWorld Heist is left, we'll see if I get around to it. I don't, 4 out of 5 isn't bad.

With the current blitz coming to a close soon I added a new sheet for the January to March period so people can start listing what they're planning on for the next one.

And again a reminder to update the current sheet with completed games and anyone interested in chipping in to the prize pool can PM me here or on Discord. Right now it's just the $20 I'm chipping in.
Already added my Blitz games for January - March 2020:
- Batman: The Enemy Within
- GRIS
- Mark of the Ninja
- Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge
- Portal 2
Same, with two hold overs from the current list that I wont finish in the next 9 days.
- Pathologic 2
- Infernium
- Fear Effect: Sedna
- Lust for Darkness
- Soma
Yeah I was planning on putting The Messenger on there as a hold over, but I might beat it next week.
Swapping out Ao no Kiseki for Dragon Quest Builders 2 on my list, since it was originally an un-planned review and holy shit it's over 60 hours long.
I'm closing in on finishing Steamworld Heist and with that my meat blitz will be done.
Gotta start thinking about the next one soon then, maybe I'll add some of those doublefine games there.

Steamworld Heist + The Outsider DLC is done, and with it I'm 5/5.

Just remembered I posted in Discord but not here that Rockin' Ranger chipped in $15 so the prize pool is up to $35. Again, if anyone else is interested in chipping in you can PM me to get details as I'm gathering the funds and will pick the winners on the 1st.
Also, make sure you update the spreadsheet and mark your games completed correctly!

Dont feel too bad. Paratopic is a 2 hour game i couldnt squash in time for the blitz but ive put ten times that into the witcher3 in recent weeks.
I actually understand you on Paratopic. I bought it and refunded it 15 minutes later, it was as if the game wanted to do everything that I hate in the least amount of time possible. So I can see people dropping it for a Witcher game.

Alright, the Blitz is essentially over. I'll do the drawing for the prize tomorrow after I wake up so you have until then to make any last updates and for anyone else to chip in to the prize pool. We have $45 in there right now, which isn't too bad for the first Blitz here!
There's already been a tab added to start the next Blitz but tomorrow I'll throw together a new thread since it's a new season of Blitzing. Feel free to add your games now if you notice this before I post the new thread.
