I've been thinking about a fresh start for a little while and I've decided that this event/GA was the way to do it. I emptied both my black and whitelist for this, therefore everyone has the exact same chance to win the game their heart desire.

The TL;DR: Play sg wins (if you have already played 100% of your wins or know someone who has done it, let me know and you/the person will get a free pass) -> get invited to a WL GA -> Write whatever game you want in the description of said WL GA before it ends -> if you win the WL GA, I'll buy the chosen game for you.

The complete rules:
1) Choose some games you won here and finish the required amount(The playtime should be based on Howlongtobeat.com average main story time), according to the table below:

Type Length Amount
Short 2 - 5h59m 4
Medium 6 - 14h59m 2
Long >15 h 1

Edit: Some people are having doubts, so let me explain. You either have to play 1 long game OR 2 medium games OR 4 short games.
Games started/finished before the start of this event(18/05/2018) do NOT count.

2) You will have until the end of the GA (~1 month) to prove it to me, either through a screenshot of the ending scene/credits or a link to the corresponding achievement page. (The game needs to be beaten/finished, which means no endless/multiplayer-only games)
3) If you manage to beat enough games and to show me some proof, I'll whitelist you, giving you access to a giveaway.
4) Write the name of the game you want inside the WL giveaway. If you win it, I'll buy that game for you. (The whitelist GA is more like a placeholder, but you'll still get it, if you want)
Don't forget to write the game you want before the WL ends. Think about it before writing it down, I won't accept changes later. Do NOT edit your post inside the WL giveaway. You'll be disqualified.
NO deluxe/gold/collector's/whatevernamemarketingiscallingthesedays edition. NO Preorders.(If it launches before the end of the WL GA, it's fine!) NO games from GOG, Origins, Blizzard, Uplay...

Some giveaways:
STRAFE: Millennium Edition
Death's Hangover
Mr. Shifty
Crazy Machines 3

If you don't care about any of this, here, have a picture of a cute doge. (You can also have fun with the poll)
PS: Thanks for the helping me set this up, Tempete! :)
PS2: It's good to be back!

If pro and con are opposites, wouldn't the opposite of progress be congress?

I don't care.

Finished Owlboy and Red Faction: Armageddon, both medium games.
Owlboy doesn't have any story achievements, though, so I made a screenshot of the ending sequence, in case you want to confirm it.

I finished Punch Club and would play Rogue State next, it doesn't show any HLTB data though.
Steamspy has: "Playtime total: 05:59 (average) 05:43 (median)". Would that be sufficient?

Usually I'd easily have managed to finish some games, but my old PC broke apart and now I got to hurry for Playing Appreciated and this event. :)

So Stalker Clear Sky doesn't work with the overlay. It does take screenshots, just not any that steam recognizes. How do I get steam to upload screenshots from its screenshot folder?

Launch Steam as an admin and overlay should work.

It doesn't though. That's the problem.
I found I could manually make a folder in the steam screenshots section and stick them in there, but it won't upload them to the cloud for some reason.

Press the Printscreen button on your keyboard while both the game (not fullscreen) and steam are running side by side.

I guess I can try that. I'll have to do a bit of options fiddling before finished the game though.

I like this idea of a giveaway, its creative and gives a reason to play games. I'm doing two medium games.

I finished Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series
https://steamcommunity.com/id/543887/stats/330840/achievements/
I also painfully finished Sanctum
I don't think there were achievement that showed I did it so here are some screenshots
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/916926778225197211/20CCD0F21C67B37E7D2DE489BA680C6E0B36397B/

EDIT:
There were achievements for beating levels in Sanctum. There are other achievements for levels but those are for the DLCs. The credits showed after I beat Facility.

I beat the last wave once, literally one second from failure. I killed the last enemy right at the end, any longer and I'm sure I would have lost. But then I temporally forgot what the screenshot button was so I missed the credits scene. I redid the last two waves, since the checkpoint was the wave before, and got a proper screenshot that time. Even on normal that last wave nearly got me twice, I would hate to imagine the wave on insane difficulty.

I'm not sure how to go about whitelist giveaways, I don't think I've ever really been a part of one. How do they work and how would I find out if I'm part of the whitelist?

Finished Gods Will Be Watching finally!
It's a medium game although I'm not sure where that gameplay time comes from because it's fluffing hard!! Also I went back and do another playthrough to get some more achievements and cause I'm a masochist.

https://steamcommunity.com/id/Badfluffy/stats/274290/achievements/

For some reason the devs have disabled the steam screenshot feature and none of my usual caps apps work but I took a couple of pics of the ending credits with my phone. Duh. Old School. I'll post them if this is not enough

On to Lego Pirates of the Caribbean next...

I was really surprised by how much I loved that game. While I played all Borderlands games, I never was a big fan. But Tales had everything I'm looking for in an adventure. So. Damn. Awesome.
Well at least the first 3 chapters, the final 2 were still good but not as great imho.

I wonder if this was just me, but Fiona and Sasha often reminded me of Cate Archer, from No One Lives Forever. Fiona had the attitude and character, Sasha adopts her looks and even Cate's favorite color at the end.

It was so, SO GOOD to play a Telltale Game that wasn't about killing off people, zombies or other kind of drama. Just characters, finding treasure, and being on a cool adventure ^^
I really like Borderlands 2 for it's world and gameplay feel (never was in for the grinding), but Tales really kicked it in the butt; becoming my favourite Telltale game with The Wolf Among Us

The Wolf Among Us is the other TTG game that I have left. I'm one of those people who tend to keep great games (and movies or novels) for a long long time, salivating at the prospect of something awesome waiting for me. ;)
