    @killkenny nice new profile pic

    @msilover I was going to apologize for derailing your thread, but this thing was never even on the tracks to begin with. Question though - do you feel the same need to 100% complete the game, or just beat it? What about Steam's achievements/badges?

    You should train to be a pro gamer. I hear that's what all the kids do these days instead of aspiring to be doctors, firefighters and cupcake decorators.

    That is one of the most terrible and unhealthy pre workout drinks Ive ever heard of assuming you weren't joking. It will increase your adrenalin placing pressure on your adrenal glands and heart, and has no beneficial mineral or vitamin content. The energy you feel from that pre workout drink is artificial. You are better of mixing some instant oats with organic cinnamon powder in a shaker.

    On a more related note, I have stopped buying any more Steam games unless something major is released. I don't even look at their sales anymore because I will just end up with a hundred more games that I barely play.

    I spend ages playing a few games and rarely even launch the others that I own so I have stopped now. Steam can be irresistible if you are weak, they practically give away games during sales and before you know it, you will end up owning a thousand, laying awake at night sweating, worrying about how many games you have but never having enough time to play them.

    I recommend you go to Steam AA meetings, they might help. I hear they give away free codes to attract new members.

    @OP

    One possible way to get out of this situation is, since you're so happy with higher 3DM points, you can learn how the modern graphics pipeline works, and do something with it. Try to turn yourself into a geek.

    Hang on a second. You can put games in a completed folder on steam?

    How naive I am.

    Even though that list would only be like 5.

    What about games that can't be completed, like Team Fortress 2 or Gary's Mod or Terraria etc? They can't be completed. They are mocking you.

    That is me and yes my game time has been really low lately. After I started the gym I kinda got serious about it so I workout 5 days a week which leaves little tine for gaming and when am home I read gym and fitness books and stuff. So far I've went from a super skinny 55 kilo geek to a less skinny and a bit more muscular 61,5 kilo geek :)

    5 days a week..that's intense. Back when I was actually being healthy I was going weights every other day and cardio every other day..with one day off. If you're doing weights 5 days a week that's pretty intense.

    i do 3 days where i do full body workouts with light weights, 1 day where i do only body weight, stretches and cardio with very little rest and pauses and 1 day where i only do stretches and muscle stabilizing exercises to get a better posture. Very fun to see results in strength, conditioning, posture and muscle mass :)

    Anyway i will still be completing games, just not as fast as i used too.

    Yeah! They really need to give us the option to delete or give away stuff if they're going to have those sales. But I don't blame them for not doing this, you just know all day they'll get emails from guys who regret a delete saying oh but my little brother did it without my permission.

    Anyway most of my games show 0 hours played. And yet I have like a dozen titles on my wish list. :\

    Just finished Two Worlds 2, overall pretty weak game. Way to easy, way to lame story and voice acting. The only fun thing was to be able to play as a summoner which i loooooooooooove.

    Almost done with Darksiders now, and just stared on Saints Row 2 which seems to be full of game breaking bugs, but i still gotta play it.

    79 STEAM games completed now, just one more (Darksiders) and i have completd 80 games on Steam. Than its time to kick back and enjoy some KFC baby!
