The Warpact Rules

Join us, in the Warpact. Destroy your pile of shame.

In the interests of removing that embarassing stain on your pure gamer soul, here's the 'rules':

Dig through your stacks, marveling at the still shrink-wrapped games you purchased at high import cost and never touched, tally up the total for each console, and make a post on here with the shameful stack (total number, and number per console, we can commiserate like AA club members).

Next up, pick a game, and start hammering on it. The one with the save file moldering away, half finished and crying to be played again, the unopened one you swore you'd play, whichever it happens to be, get it out, dust off the controller, and start playing.

Once a week (I'll bump the topic up), make a post with your progress. It doesn't need to be a game (or more) per week or whatever, just let us know ;) Living diary of a pile of shame.

How 'finished' is finished for a game is up to you. Play it till you really feel you got enough out of it, then move on to the next. But don't let it rot there unplayed. If you realize you never shoulda bought it in the first place, take it back to the store and get some credit (+1 completed!).

For your convenience, I'd recommend bookmarking this thread, and taking a trip to video game tracker, IGN, or Gamespot and putting your list in there. Do so and I'll hotlink your name in the Hall of Shame so you can visit it to clear out games, and others can stare at your immense pile in awe.

When you do your weekly update, I WILL post a progress list here, so yes, you will be rewarded with the glory of your name in lights as you demolish your pile of shame :)

I'm in. I've been pounding away at my pile for months now. I've got it down to:

Xenogears (47 hours in)
Dragon Warrior VII (had to start again! Agh! 26 hours in)
Gran Turismo 3 (2% complete! Go me!)


Yes, I know that aside from Xenogears I have no hope in hell of finishing those games off any time this year. That would be why they're the only games left in my pile after a summer of work...

Well...I've got seperate piles for each system. And I have a lot of systems, so it's pretty grim. But I'm working on the Cube pile now, since it only contains a couple left unplayed. I finally completed Biohazard! Woo. So that leaves:

Pikmin (am I for real? yes, unfortunately...)
Super Mario Sunshine (I've taken a break from it, and it's getting dangerous. I need to finish this before it becomes a Pikmin.)

Hopefully I'll make some progress by next week.

I haven't finished pikmin either

I dont even want to go into my pile of shame, but the games that come off the top of my head are:

JSRF: Unlock the rest of the characters
GunValkyrie: Its really a good game, I need to go more than 3 levels into it though :(
Akumajo Dracula X(saturn): Just started, like 2 hours in, wow, what an incredible game so far, I now see why it gets the hype it does
Mars Matrix: I feel so bad, but after erasing my file 6-8 months ago, I lost all motivation to play it, I really need to get back into this
NiGHTS: Into Dreams: I know, I know, I should be shot for not completing this, but I've never truly sat down and played this game.

So many more that it scares me

Oh and hey Victrix, good to see you back. It's been a while.

*never opened the blue Zelda Gameboy color game that came out a while ago*

Aye, good to see you as well :) Been bloody busy with worky, worky, worky (game season = guide season, so its good for the bank, bad for the nerves)

That's part of the reason I started this topic, give me some real motivation to rip back into the games that have been gathering some thick dust...

I played a few shooters last night, it was depressing ;) Then I visited the scoreboards, and I'm slipping, so I've got more motivation there too :D

I will never wipe out my pile of shame unless I either quit school or my job. I have enough time to play games, just too damn many games to play (but its a nice dilemma to have :p )

So I'll have to sit this one out guys, sorry ;)

I don't like this stuff sneaking up on me so it's not too bad.

Kartia: The Word of Fate - About five hours in. Is it average? Is it terrible? I can't tell.
Tail Concerto - Last...dungeon...
Floating Runner - Last...dungeon...
Valkyrie Profile - Not sure why I haven't been playing this.
Ape Escape - Stay the course, Neddy. You're doing super!
Blaster Master: Blasting Again - Who cares about this? I should sell it.

Just as soon as I can actually amass a pile of shame, I'll be sure to get right on it.
