The Longest Journey: Playing Through My Steam Library

Earlier today I was listening to the PC Gamer podcast and they were discussing this little web tool that was designed to give you all these stats about your Steam account. These range from how many games you've never played on your Steam account to your top five most played games.

I'm not sure if you can see or not, but I own 67 games on Steam. I've played 44 of them (not beaten, just activated) and never touched 23 of them. TWENTY-THREE GAMES untouched... Most of these are games bought in bundles like the Humble Indie Bundle or when Steam does franchise sales, but still... Twenty-three games.

That number has suddenly motivated me to try and power through the games in my Steam library that remain uncompleted. Some will be simple games like Limbo while others will be hour long RPGs like Skyrim and Fallout: New Vegas. Granted I'm not even sure if there's a way to "beat" some of these games, but I'll give it my best go.

It won't be easy, or fun all the time. But I'll try to curb some of that by either streaming (if that is at all possible) or at least blogging about it as often as possible. If you're curious about the list of games I need to go through here it is but let me warn you, it's not pretty.

I have no idea what order I'm going to tackle these in, but it sure ain't gonna be alphabetically.

So This Happened on Twitter....

You guys may or may not know that I'm a big fan of fighting games. I've probably blogged about it once or twice, I'm not entirely sure. Either way, over the past weekend was CEO, or Community Effort Orlando. It was a big fighting game tournament that spanned several major games including Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Street Fighter 4 AE. Between this and Dreamhack for my StarCraft 2 fix it was a good weekend overall.

One of the major players in the Fighting Game Community is Madcatz. They make the fightsticks that a great deal of player use and they have their own team of players. This team includes none other than Daigo "The Beast" Umehara.

Anyways, this company (Madcatz) has an unofficial mascot that travels to all the events and helps hype the crowd. He's a guy dressed in a giant tiger suit with a Madcatz shirt on. Now I know I've never mentioned this before, but I'm terrified of furries. You're allowed to laugh, fine, but it's something I utterly uncomfortable with. So in a moment of sheer terror I tweeted this little snippet:

It was meant more of a joke since I was watching online and barely saw any of the guy. It got retweeted once or twice by friends who agreed and then the night when like normal.

Today though, I'm minding my own business, probably watching YouTube videos or browsing Reddit (yeah, what about it?). Then this shows up in my timeline:

 

At first I was wondering who this guy was. Because I use tweetdeck as my twitter client the profile pics are pretty small. I also had no idea what this guy was talking about, so I click on his profile.

Unofficial Madcatz mascot..................

If you look at my tweet above, you'll notice there's no mention of his username or any hashtag. Naturally I was confused as to how he found my tweet. I still don't know how he did it, unless someone else saw it and mentioned it, but that seems like a stretch. 

Either way it gave me a good laugh, even though my heart skipped a beat at first. Just goes to show you they'll find you ANYWHERE YOU GO.
