Over the past several months, when I could tear myself away from playing XCOM and Xenoblade, I've been struggling with how to decide what to play next. So many games, so little time, so little money, and so on.
Then Rock Paper Shotgun linked me to Ninth Life. They describe themselves thusly:
Three friends attempt to complete each game in their entire PC
games catalogue in alphabetical order, with only one life per game.
Which games will they clock? Which will they fail miserably? Which ones
will even install after all these years? One chance, one life, no
mistakes.
It couldn't be more perfect. Can't decide what to play? Play ALL TEH GAMEZ! And XCOM has taught me the nail-biting wonder of Ironman Classic, so applying that to every game couldn't be anything but fun, right?
Of course!
So I've spent the past couple of weekends digitizing my PC library and getting a catalog in order. It's all prepped and ready to go.
...and my first game is "1...2...3...Kick it! (Drop that Beat Like an Ugly Baby)." How is that even a game title? Thank you, Steam, for whatever sale or bundle you included that in.
Now I have to go figure out how to die in an experimental music/rhythm/basejumping gamething. I'll keep you posted.
