Alright, Seems like fun to me. I'm up to the challenge! Well, Assuming I can use an emulator for some of these. I Really REALLY don't want to have to remove my Phone's SD card every time I complete a challenge.

Posted two pictures just for extra proof. :)
Pending. The three in spoilers I can accept, however the list of games you have at the end have no pictures as proof, nor can you use a single game for more than two challenges (i.e. I'm looking at DoA5 and FE:A)
This should be good. But some of these were pictures taken on my 3DS, so if you can't tell what the picture is then... I'll just redo the challenge I guess.

EDIT: I finally got the spoiler tabs to stop fucking with me. Yay!

12 out of 60 Completed.
Spoiler:
Accepted. Nicely done!
Double post yaaaaaay

Challenges complete: 23/60

Spoiler:
Accepted. Keep it up mate!
This sounds like fun!

Spoiler:
Accepted. Keep on trucking, you got this!
I think it's just about bed time, so I'll add these before I forget. :P

13/60.


Spoiler:
Pending. Everything is good except for Challenge #8 - you technically stabbed him through the chest, not the back (; Bonus points for your Yoshi pic though! I lol'ed at it.
Alright, Seems like fun to me. I'm up to the challenge! Well, Assuming I can use an emulator for some of these. I Really REALLY don't want to have to remove my Phone's SD card every time I complete a challenge.

Spoiler:
Accepted. You can use an emulator!
 
Congratulations to CoffeeDrink for finishing all 60 challlenges! He will be receiving the coveted Little Mac emblem at the end of this challenge! Other emblems are still up for grabs though so best of luck to the rest of the competitor's - complete all 60 challenges!

I'm out.

In all seriousness, nice dedication Coffee!
 
Seriously though, Little Mac emblem was the only one worth getting. :P

It was a stealth kill from behind, though. How is that not a backstab? I could Shadowplay it, if it's that hard to tell what it is. :P

Also, question about Challenge #47: E-L. Get kills in games starting with those letters.

I thought it meant doing games with each letter from E through L. I had planned like, Evoland, Final Fantasy, Gauntlet, Hyrule Warriors, etc.
But Coffee only did Earthworm Jim and Luftrausers -- does that mean I only need a game for E and L? What are the specifics on that one? lol.

*shrug* I was just going off of the picture, where the character is in front of the enemy thrusting a sword from the belly out. And it's only games that start with E and L. I was going to do M-A-T-T initially but I couldnt get the sentence to stay on one line when making the challenge.

Oh, haha, Raiden is behind him. :pink_smile: I guess it is a little hard to tell - that blue haze around it is really awkward - but our protag is the cyborg with the L'Oréal perfect white hair, and that's the front of our NPC where the sword is exiting. His head is turned, but I figured his tactical vest would still give that away. Sorry about the confusion, lol.

Anywho! Thank you for clearing up #47. Means I can still use Hyrule Warriors for something else. :pink_boogie:
 
I'm pretty sure I don't have enough games to complete this entire thing, but I'll try this out anyway. (Only a little bit of my life wasted away. No biggy.) And also, sorry for any gifs/images being low quality, as my 3DS doesn't have a screen recorder.

Spoiler:
 
#39 completed. I know there was probably better things I could've used SSB4 for, but I just had to do it.

Spoiler:
 
#31 complete. I'm going to get another challenge done with this game in a few minutes.

Spoiler:
 
#13 completed. I'm pretty sure this counts, right?

Spoiler:
 
Do flash games count? It's probably the only way I'd ever have enough games to accomplish this.
 
I have to post before I forget what I've done, lol.

18/60. I'm assuming my backstab was kosher after all? Or?

And some partially-done-challenges updated with photos, obviously not tallied to my final count above. :pink_tongue: Just wanted to post them and forget about them.
