“Cleaning mission” 1st report:

I did a come back on steamgifts after 2 years away of the site. I changed a lot of things in my use of the site: i don’t leech anynmore, enter only in game i’m interested to play, be more active in groups … Be an active and honest member to resume.

But i have an other mission, harder this one, (find the time to) play games won on steamgift (new ones and thoses of my older life on the site).
So recently i found time to finished 2 games:

Steamworld heist (SG win):
I really loved this one. It’s turn by turn strategic game, a little like X-com: ennemy unknown, but with a 2D view. The story is not very good, but the gameplay is nice. I finished the game in 15 hours, but i absolutely wanted all the stars so maybe you coulf finished the game in 10 hours if you rushed it. I really recommend it if you like this kind of game.

One finger death punch (SG win):
It’s a sort of rythm game where you only use the mouse, you have to clik to kill your ennemies. It’s very basic but it was fun. They try to add some diversity with some special levels, with special weapons, like lightsabers, or level in black and white. It’s a little hard to finished it because it’s very repetitive, my last hour was very long. But the positive aspect with this type of gameplay is you can easily play 5 minutes or 30 minutes and enjoy your moment, you will not be frustrated by short sessions.
If you are interested buy it, it’s not very expensive and enjoyable.

Next one on the lists are Braveland and Beat Hazard. I will only play little games for my next report because normally i will not have a lot of time for me in the next weeks.

A long mission is waiting me and it’s only the beginning of this adventure.

End of the report

PS: If a gentleman could take some seconds to explain me how add the picture of the game with the playtime and statut or a link to an explanation, it’s will be appreciated ;-)

Welcome back, hope you enjoy your time around BLAEO and SG :)

Easiest way to use the “game box” in your posts is making custom lists with them in it, right click and select View Page Source(or something similar if you’re using another browser than Mozilla). Then you just have to identify the part of the code and just copy paste it.
To enter it manually I’ll leave you the code below. Just replace the text where there’s a parenthesis(and remove the parenthesis). Also the ul class and /ul only need to be at the beginning and the end of all your boxes, not for each one individually. Where it says unfinished you can replace with beaten or completed for different category

<ul class=”games”>

<li class=”game game-thumbnail game-(unfinished)” data-item=”ewby2g4”>  
<div class=”title”>
(Game Name)
</div>
<a href=”(URL to the page you want to redirect when clicked)” target=”_blank”>
<img alt=”(Game Name)” src=”(URL of image displayed)” />
</a>
<div class=”caption”>
<p>(xx) hours playtime</p>
<p>(yy) of (zz) achievements</p>
</div>
</li>

</ul>

Note that this object however will not update automatically as it does in your lists but if you want to change the playtime, chivos etc you’ll have to do it manually.
You can find a lot of stuff about post formatting on Akantha’s profile: http://backlog-deepness.rhcloud.com/users/Akantha

Thanks, i will try it in my next report (or maybe improve this one tomorrow to test it).
I never learn to code, maybe i should in my free time :)

Regarding formatting, I have seen some really nice ones on hear but only know how to do the one that shows tiles like you would see on your SG won page. Go to that page, Right Click > View Page Source, from there you can find the games you want. You’ll need to copy our the lines from **<li class …> through </li> and wrap that with <ul class='games'> and </ul>. Example:

<ul class='games'>
<li class='game game-never-played game-thumbnail' data-item='egqwylq'>
<div class='title'>
Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers
</div>
<a href='http://store.steampowered.com/app/205910' target='_blank'>

</a>
<div class='caption'>
<p>0 minutes playtime</p>
<p>0 of 53 achievements</p>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
