Edited. Links to pics expire in a day, let me know if someone doesn’t make it. I’m definitely above 50 homebrew but I don’t think I’ve cracked 100 yet

[ZeldaFreak | 3,600]

Oh shit I didn't know badges were back too, nice!

...I'm just now realizing I should've kept better track of what badges I had with the old system, haha. Ah well, I'll get around to it, I think I remember most of 'em.

[Jeevan | 8,911]

Did you scrap everything from the old system @Gloves?  Like no knowledge of who had what?   just curious as i don't remember what i had......

Alas, yes.

Please consider this a fresh start, with apologies.

hmm, ok no worries, um you did say you had like tshirt sales etc. though right?  And, do you think like the wayback machine or something would have something like our charms archived, im not sure how something like that works honestly......

GLOVES: Done.

I asked for toys to life badges, so I'll start with the complete lego dimensions set and the complete PAL Gamecube set.

GLOVES: Done.

Here's my picture of my 100% North American Wii U set

Here's my album showcasing my complete series run of Nintendo Power:

I'm pretty sure I have more than 100 import titles and at least 10 homebrew titles. Will have to get some evidence soon. 

Edit: oh wow I just saw all the badges. I've got so many to claim. Woo. 

Some suggestions: 

1. If possible, in the paper category, if you could add Retro Gamer Magazine, Game Informer, and Nintendo Force, that would be nice. 

2. Where's my strategy guide category? 

3. Soundtracks! I have lots of CD soundtracks...

I'm gonna say that Stadium Events is a variant of World Class Track Meet, and vice versa - having one will count as the other, both ways.

The ones I don’t have to do any work to nab right now.  Most of the stuff is still packed away.
 

 50+ NES games

 

50+ SNES games 

 

Is there any difference between loose and CIB?

3. Soundtracks! I have lots of CD soundtracks... 

Seconded, I'd also like one for soundtracks.

A couple of questions:

a) For imports, do they have to be games that weren't released in your region at all? For example, a UK release Luigi's Mansion 3 (was physically/digitally released in NA) vs a UK release Rhythm Heaven Megamix (was digital only in NA) vs a Japanese Soma Bringer (never localized anywhere outside of Japan).

b) For play x games on console/genre, how should this be reported? Playtime screenshots, short blurbs, ???.

Anyways for my games:

(The white marks are every 10, trying to count these is annoying.)

[OptOut | 8,884]

GLOVES: Done.

Can I get the following badges, please:

1. N64 fullset (I have the PAL fullset cart only and the Japanese fullset)

Proof: https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/7545-pal-n64-fullset-achieved-collection-journey-celebration/

2. N64 50 games (I have all 50 US exclusive N64 games, plus more)

Proof: https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/1750-n64-collecting-milestone-full-us-exclusive-subset/

3. Play N64 games (I've played more than 25 of these!)

Proof: https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/447-beat-every-n64-game-2019-95303/

Proof: https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/9709-weekend-spent-in-the-gameroom-not-playing-games-mini-update-new-xbox-shelves/

5. Play OG Xbox games (I've definitely played more than 25)

Proof: Trust me, bro.

6. 100+ imports (Practically my entire collection would count!)

Proof: https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/9709-weekend-spent-in-the-gameroom-not-playing-games-mini-update-new-xbox-shelves/

 

7. Werewolf 10+ games (It's gotta be over 10 by now)

Deadly Duck - 114,630 [1/b]

I've spent the last week slowly improving at this game, and today I finally broke 100k to roll the score!

It took 1 1/2 hours of uninterrupted brick-dodging and crab-shooting to make it happen (no pausing in Atari games), but it was worth it!

Blade Buster (5 Min Score-Attack) - 1,077,200

Finally broke a million points in Blade Buster!
I cleared the game within the 5-minute limit, but I can't recall if I did it in one life or not.

Thanks in advance!

Is there a badge for being a subscriber but not through Patreon, just through the regular VGS subscription? I'll take that badge too, if so!

There is no Patreon; they're just called "Patron" Badges cuz the word fits the context.

Oh OK, well then I think I get the Patron - Bronze tier.

Alriiight, figured I might as well go ahead and get this over with...

Firstly, I know I had the Helping Hand badge (Still quite proud of that one, haha. Only badge I really care about that much.)

Then the proof for several different badges is in my posts in this thread, so I'll do a few at once here:

All the Bingo 2020 badges

Merch buyer badge

VGS subscriber badge in... I believe it would've been the bronze tier? Whichever tier you'd get for The Gear Upgrade subscription, at any rate.

NES Contest 2020 participant badge

Homebrew Leaderboard participant badge

Blogger Badge

Halloween 2021 Bingo participant badge

For these contest badges, I'm not sure if winning means you get both the winner and participant badges, but I'll assume you do:

Valentine's Day 2022 Contest participant & winner badges

Independence Day 2022 Contest participant & winner badges, I was literally the only person who participated in this contest, so does that technically make these the two rarest badges on the site? Food for thought, haha.

Game Night 25+ participation badge, I know this one to be true seeing as how I'm the staff member responsible for managing game nights, haha. In fact I've participated in exactly 43.

I've participated in both of the two games of Survivor hosted here, so the Survivor 1+ participation badge. I'm getting tired of digging through old threads so I'll go ahead and just say refer to my signature, hopefully that's proof enough, haha.

I've also definitely participated in over 10 games of Werewolf, so the Werewolf 10+ participation badge. (Not gonna link to 10 individual games I've participated in, can go check out the Werewolf club if proof for that is really needed.) Haven't done 25 games yet seeing as how we're not at 25 yet, but I'll get there!

Apparently there's not a charm for the 2020 Beat Every Gameboy Game thread but I did participate in that a little so haha.

I also definitely at one point most certainly owned over 25 amiibo, but I don't anymore so eh, badge is whatever, up to you if you'd want to count that. I could probably go back and find some old pics of them for proof but I don't really care that much, haha.

Phew. OK. I THINK that's everything.

A) They don't need to be region exclusives, just not from the region you're living in. For example, if I have a Super Mario Bros 3 from China, that'd count since I live in Canada.

B) This is probably the hardest to "prove". Ideally you'd have some log or something we can go off of. Really it's honor system. The intent with these specifically is primarily to share that you like playing specific consoles, more than a sign of "I play everything!". We're not really envisioning badges as a "collect em all" thing so much as a catered list of things that represent you as a gamer.
