Four in February
I know people don't like me linking to Kotaku, but there's an interesting post there about a 'Four in February' initiative. Here's the page link
In short, the idea behind 'Four in February' is to finish four games in February.
...and that's it.
It's basically just a simple drive to get people to finish four games they've been meaning to get round to. No actual rules, just pick four games and do your damnedest to finish them all.
I've already picked my four, so I'll list 'em here.
- Halo: Combat Evolved - Anniversary Edition (XBox 360 - never got past the Library in the original version, so it'll be interesting to see if I can do it this time)
- Fable: The Lost Chapters (on Steam, since I picked it up and promptly did nothing with it)
- Ratchet & Clank 3 (from the PS3 trilogy - despite finishing the PS2 version I never got round to the PS3 one despite it being the best of the trilogy)
- Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Steam again. HATED this game first time round, but I want to see how hilariously bad the story is).
And if I finish all four, I'll celebrate by playing The Force Unleashed II. *shudder*
So yeah, that's Four in February. Anyone else feel like joining in?

DeathSpank
Psychonauts
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Mirror's Edge
Lego Batman 2 again but just the story because i don't know how long it would take to 100% it.
Jak 3 and Ratchet & Clank 2 (I'm already about half way through on both because i started playing them.)
Portal 2 (Single Player)
Sly 3.
The Cave (all seven stories)
Gemini Rue
The World Ends With You
The Walking Dead (yes... I haven't finished it yet... sue me. I should. It's good.)
Epic Mickey - Haven't started. Was waiting to pick up Power of Two and Power of Illusion, but that's not happening anytime soon.
Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness - I started this one once and was on a roll, but the memory card I was using died, and while I was able to rescue some saves, Pokémon can't be moved or copied. I don't recall where I left off in my second attempt. I may just have to scrap this one and start over, making it the biggest challenge on this list.
Sonic Generations - I've been dawdling through the end of this one, between renovating the house and the fact that the last third of the game is based on Sonic games I don't own and haven't played. I just have to finish the challenges in the Modern Era, fight the third boss, and have my final boss fight with the Time Eater.
NiGHTS Into Dreams - Because why the hell not. I may decide to swap this one out with one of the many other untouched games I have on Steam, like Quantum Conundrum or Tomb Raider: Anniversary or something.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Spec Ops: The Line
Grey Matter
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers
or the rest of Space Quest.
-Hotline Miami
-FTL
-Super Hexagon
-they Bleed Pixels
Resident Evil 6 (almost done with it, just one more campaign)
Bayonetta (I forget which chapter I'm on I just stopped playing for reasons unknown to me now)
The Last Remnant (I lose interest in the game right when I start side quests...but I want to do them but I don't like them but they're there and GAH)
Batman: Arkham City (Haven't started it, keep hearing it's really good and it's just sitting there)
I have tons I don't finish but these I feel are the best pick.
You should finish Planescape: Torment. Also, you should start Planescape: Torment.
* Metal Gear Rising
* Epic Mickey
* Strangers Wrath.
King's Quest V (I put this one aside, I really should get back to it)
Leisure Suit Larry 5 (I just finished up Larry 3)
Police Quest 2 (I finished Police Quest I way back in 2007 and never got to the others)
Quest for Glory 2 (I'll likely finish up the first one before February)
I just may do that. How's the length? Can I play it start to finish in a month while finishing three other games?
Lost Odyssey
Final Fantasy Dimensions
Skyrim
... Welp, I'm screwed.
Speaking of my list, I...kinda already finished a game. I beat Sonic Generations last night. I know it's not February yet, but I did technically finish it before the end of February. Maybe if I have time after the other three, I'll add another game to the list. Maybe Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?
I can't help it. They's my faves.
I'm also still playing Borderlands 2 and XCOM, but I've at least beat those already.
Now that'd really be a challenge.
2. On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness - I just need to complete the final boss fight, but I've already had my ass handed to me a few times, and I really suck at these kinds of games. I haven't tried it on my new laptop though, and it was lagging like hell on my old one, so maybe it'll be easier now.
3. Chaos on Deponia - I think I might be about half ways through, so it should be entirely possible to finish by the end of February.
4. The Cave - I've finished my third play through, but there is still stuff to be seen. I need a break from it now, but I'm going to try out the Linux version when it comes.
My wife is giving birth any day now, so I'm not really sure how much time I'll have left for games. I don't think any of my goals should take too much time to complete though, so I'm pretty confident I'll be able to strike at least half of them off my list.

EDIT: I've beaten Hexagonest, Hyper Hexagon, and Hyper hexagoner in 2 hours, and I've gotten to triangle on Hyper Hexagonest. I'm not sure whether I should take a break to avoid permanent brain trauma or keep going.
Well, you're doing a hell of a lot better than I am with that game. I've been playing since it released on Android and haven't made it past 27 seconds on regular Hexagonest. I haven't even tried out the Hyper levels yet.
By the way, I'm curious, if Hyper Hexagon is "hardester" and Hyper Hexagoner is "hardestest", what's the difficulty rating for Hyper Hexagonest?
Suicidal.
Hardestestest. I'm not even kidding.
Also, Planet Wisp's two acts are the only two S ranks I still need on the main stages. I don't think I'll be doing the boss battles or rival battles for S ranks. I had enough trouble with Silver and the Egg Dragoon the first time.

Why do I obsess over levelling up my weapons so much? And why are the later weapons SO much better than the early ones, even when they're fully levelled? Gah!
