Beat a hard game this month

Thug Lessons: Dec 14, 2006; I lust in my heart for as many dead refugees as possible.

The rules: pick a hard game and beat it in a month. Don't abuse savestates or any crap like that. If you beat it you proved you're a true gamer, if you don't beat it you get banned. Or I guess you can write an essay explaining why you're too much of a scrub to beat it but whatever, a true gamer would get banned before admitting that and that's what this is all about, showing the true gamer spirit by beating a hard game. Don't pick Dark Souls. Ganbatte.

I'm going to beat Super Ghosts 'n Goblins for the SNES.

whats a good barometer for a hard game. would that volgarr the viking game that came out awhile back count or are we doing classic games only

It just has to be a hard game. IDK what Volgarr the Viking is but if it's hard you do that one.

If I say dungeon crawl do I have to do a 12 rune run or is 3 enough?

Also the essay for dungeon crawl pretty much writes itself and I may as well write it right now. Xom thinks it's funny that I got banished to the abyss AGAIN. Arrggh.

3 runes is enough. I'm a hardcore Crawl player and almost all my wins are 3-rune because it just takes too long otherwise. If you really want a challenge, do a hard combo instead of MiFi/DDBe/etc.

In the absence of any objections, I'll play Crypt of the NecroDancer on hardcore mode using the Bard character (ie, without the rhythm element). I feel the game is difficult enough without turn limits.

Ganbatte gamers.

Good news gamers.

I beat the first loop! Now I have to beat every stage again plus defeat the true final boss. In a lot of shmups the second loop is a lot harder than the first, let's see if that's true for Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts as well.

Dark Souls isn't even hard so why would you bring it up?

Because someone might have picked it otherwise.
