2019 Gaming Highlights:
Got a VR headset (HTC Vive) in February!
I took a break from achievement hunting in May and got deeply into Secret World: Legends.
So excited for all the new Borderlands updates/content this year, including Borderlands GOTY in April and new DLC for Borderlands 2 in June. I’m waiting for Steam release for Borderlands 3 and am also planning on getting Borderlands 2 VR at some point.

2018 Statistics:
| Games Owned | Games Not Played | % Not Played | Achievements | Perfect Games | Avg. Game Completion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2923 | 639 (+341) | 21.77% (+7.92%) | 1,005,374 (+74,990) | 1710 (+399) | 92.1% (+2.1%) |
I was spotty on recording statistics this year. Until now, I've always tracked Games/DLC Owned through the Steam showcase, but that is now *also* incredibly inaccurate due to the ban waves. 2923 is my count on SH, which also includes free apps. Finally, since I've been out of trading for some time now, I've started batch redeeming my key bank (thus the huge jump in games owned), because honestly, I really don't know what I have anymore.

2020 Goals:
In 2020, I'd like to reduce my list of <11% games to 10 or less (currently 32), and to go back and finally finish these three large games:-
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
-
Tomb Raider
-
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut
What do you think about it? I played it back when it was just Secret World so I have no idea if they’ve actually made any changes. All DLC is now free or something?
Sounds reasonable unless you get bogged down with Skyrim’s endless mods. :D
