Popular Post SpaceCoresDad Posted October 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) Happy Holidays, PSNP! Or, almost, anyway. Everyone knows they start earlier every year, so why not kick things off with the month of spookiness coming to a close?What is this? A very much unofficial holiday event for PSNP, based off the 12 days of Christmas! Get into the holiday spirit and complete twelve different games (or as many as you feel you can handle) while the holiday season rolls by.When does it run? The event starts November 16th, and will run until January 14th. I understand people are busy around this time of year, and these events are supposed to be fun! Not stressful. You'll be able to sign up until the end of November. Should give people enough time to get started. What are the rules? 1. Don't hack to get trophies. Not only will you get flagged for cheating, you'll get a nasty lump of coal from Santa too! 2. It doesn't matter whether the game has a platinum, so long as you get 100% completion for the base game. You don't have to do DLC, but if you've completed a base game already and have a lot of DLC to do, you CAN do that and count it as your game. Just make sure it's something substantial if you're doing that, you know? Have common sense. 3. The games don't have to be about Christmas at all. Just play what you want, as long as it's at the very least loosely based around each category. 4. You don't have to plan out your games beforehand, but you can if you feel like it'd be fun. Just make sure to post when you've completed a game related to your category in the thread. Otherwise I won't be able to mark it off for you. What are the 12 days of Christmas anyway? I'm so glad you asked! 12 Drummers Drumming: The jolly beat of the drums keeps everyone in line; play a game with a rhythm component in it! It doesn't have to be a rhythm game, just have some kind of rhythm part of it at some point in the game. 11 Pipers Piping: All those pipes getting together has to sound pretty good, yeah? Play a game with a great soundtrack! Even if it's not world renowned or anything, pick something you like to listen to and play through that. Maybe even break out the headphones.10 Lords A-Leaping: Look at them go! All flying around in the air like that. Play a game that will have you jumping a lot, whether it be out of joy or necessity. 9 Ladies Dancing: Such beauty, such grace! Play a game that stars a femme fatale of some sort, or failing that, a game that at least has some women dancing in it. 8 Maids A-Milking: There's really nothing like good old hard work, is there? Play a game that has you out on a farm, or otherwise doing some work in a rural area. 7 Swans A-Swimming: Make like the graceful swans out on the water, and play a game that has you in the water a lot, even if the game you pick isn't necessarily serene. 6 Geese A-Laying: Motherhood is a beautiful thing. Honor it by playing a game where either the main character is a mother, or the theme of the game is based around motherhood. Alternatively, you can use Fatherhood instead. Dad's just as important as mom is! 5 Gold Rings: Now this one is obvious isn't it? Play a game where you'll be collecting a whole lot of cash, or your character is super rich.4 Colly Birds: Of the many birds near the smallest numbers of the days, these are designated by being "colly," or "black as coal." Play a game that's very dark, either physically, or emotionally. 3 French Hens: In honor of the land of baguettes and croissants, play a game either set in Europe, or made by European developers. 2 Turtle Doves: Perhaps the most literal of these categories. Play a game that has a whole lot of reptiles, birds, or even both!And a Partridge in a Pear Tree: The length of the song has given this phrase an "everything but the kitchen sink" vibe to it, so for this category, play whatever you want! Literally any game you want to play, as long as you have fun and enjoy it. Bonus points if it's related to winter time! Do I get anything out of doing this? Well hopefully you'll have a good time! I'll try to scrape together some badges for everyone that gets over 3 games done though, with hopefully better work into it than the "Graphic design is my passion" header up above. I'll get someone more professional to make a badge.Is there any kind of bonus challenge? Yes there is! This one hopefully puts the spirit of the holidays into everyone. Play a game you got for your holiday celebrations. Ideally it'd be from a family member, or someone close to you, but if you don't have that it's okay! Even something you got for yourself is just as valid as any other present. It doesn't matter what holiday either, be it Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or any other winter holiday. Just play something that makes you feel festive. Here is the spreadsheet of everyone on. If you're missing, or something is wrong, please @ me or let me know in some other way! I'll update it. Participants: the event has begun! PSNP won't let me @ all of you so... hope you were paying attention. ^^; Edited February 11, 2019 by SpaceCoresDad 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinkus83 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) I am probably in for this. Just need to check my backlog list to see what fits the categories. Obviously Harvest Moon for #8 Got time tho, so I’ll come back for an edit when I get it worked out. Edit: Working on a list 12 Drummers Drumming: Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien - All about the rhythm 11 Pipers Piping: Pretty tempted to put FF XV DLC here. Can listen to all the FF music in the car, and I will probably get this for myself for the holidays (Definitely going here now, after the announcement, will just have to make it an early gift to myself lol.)10 Lords A-Leaping: 9 Ladies Dancing: 8 Maids A-Milking: Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition - cuz if someone says farming game, Harvest Moon is all I think. 7 Swans A-Swimming: Port Royale 3 - All about the water, and I do need to get myself to go back and finish this. 6 Geese A-Laying: 5 Gold Rings: AdVenture Capitalist - this game is entirely about money, we'll see if I finish it at the right time for the event though4 Colly Birds: Costume Quest 2 - The whole thing takes place at night (hope this is "dark" enough to qualify) 3 French Hens: Beyond Good & Evil HD - Developed by Ubisoft pretty much entirely by French folks, I believe. 2 Turtle Doves: Stories: The Path of Destinies - soo many ravens!And a Partridge in a Pear Tree: Edited November 24, 2018 by Dinkus83 List update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowhood1111 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Count me in. For clarification can the games have been started previously and do you have to do the games in order of the 12 days of Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can have been started previously, and no, you don't have to do them in order. Have fun with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonQuest238 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 On 10/27/2018 at 9:32 PM, SpaceCoresDad said: 4 Colly Birds: Oh my Gosh! I've always thought this as '4 calling birds!" I have been singing the song wrong for all my life! But in all seriousness, this sort of event seems to be very intense. I don't want to waste all of my November money on games but I don't have half of these themes, so I probably won't be able to participate. I'll be reading the lists of everyone who does participate, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't let that stop you! Like someone else put above you, you only need two of them to participate, since one of them can be literally any game you want. You don't have to do all 12!

Dragon-Archon Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Sign me up. I'll have to check which games I'll play. Glancing over the categories, it seems I can add Entwined for Piping Pipers and Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance for Lords-a-Leaping . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, I think I have an idea for one game... I have a physicopy of Stardew Valley and that could count for the Maids A-Milking... only it has two trophies requiring you to complete an annoying arcade game that I can't even complete, much less complete without dying once. I am not sure I could complete it. I have a few games under my radar right now. But if I get interested, I'll let the thread know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markie816 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 My list for now is this: 12. Sound shapes (ps vita). Nothing more to mention:p 11. Killing floor 2 (ps 4). Killing floor 1 on pc is my most played game ever I guess. Haven't platinumed kf2 yet, be ashamed. Has a great soundtrack with hard rock music. that's why I put it here. 10. Kung Fu Rabbit (ps vita). You're a ninja rabbit and ninjas jump a lot:D 5. Need for Speed: Most Wanted (ps vita). He owns many cars so he must be rich 3. F1 2018 (ps4). Developed by Codemasters settled in England. That's it for now, don't know which ones I will finish and if I will add more games later. Looking forward to it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psy-Tychist Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I do love these events but I always seem to do the bare minimum or just fail entirely. That and I have around 300 games in my backlog which need to at least be finished, who knows, I might come up with something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
