Oh man, I forgot about this.

The only thing my milkshake brings to the yard is a subpoena.

Oh, wow. So did I. Looking back, I have reviewed 6 qualifying games (since the event began) that I hadn't posted in the topic. So I went back through and updated my post to reflect those reviews.

If you are participating and you also forgot, the easiest way to catch up is to look at the title of whatever review you last posted in the topic. Then open your blog in a new tab and click to see all of your reviews. Sort them by review date (descending), then perform a search to find the title you noted as your last S review. From there, it's easy to just start scrolling up and find other reviews that would have qualified, if you haven't been making note of them.

I ain't touching this. Good luck, guys. :P

EDIT: It seems that I already have six qualifying entries since I joined the site in 2015. Maybe I have a shot at this after all?

Look, the only time I'm not wrong is when I'm right, so...

Posting this to remind myself to update my list, as it's bigger than it was by at least two games.

I'm not afraid to die because I am invincible
Viva la muerte, that's my goddamn principle

Make that 4, as I found out while updating it.

Well hey, that's four games I didn't count ... and one that's new. Right on. Total of seven so far. Swifty?

Look, the only time I'm not wrong is when I'm right, so...

"It could be tomorrow, it could be five years from now."

When I wrote that, I didn't think this would literally take five years.

I don't remember ever seeing this. Is it still a thing? I'm sure I could dig up a bunch of qualifying reviews.

I don't have to prove I'm refined - that's what makes me refined!

Alright, I decided to actually check to see if I really do have a bunch of eligible reviews banked. Turns out I was right:

1 - Super Rad Raygun
2 - Silent Hill: Homecoming
3 - Snow Fall
4 - Sky Force Reloaded
5 - Super Skelemania
6 - Super Arcade Boy in Defender of Planet Earth
7 - Super Hydorah
8 - Submerged

Getting.
Closer.

Five.
To.
Go.

Oh, yeah. After submitting my Super Mario 64 DS review last Sunday or whenever, that got me to 27. So, I WIN!!!!!

I mean, the main thing I won was disappointment, frustration and a desire to go a long time before playing another "S" game, but I WON!!!!

Congratulations on sweet, sweet victory! I'm actually getting pretty close myself, and since this one doesn't have a deadline, I'll eventually finish it even though I can no longer do so in first place. At least, I will if I keep submitting reviews... which I plan to do.
