Gah! Finally finished! I didn't think I would make it, I was close to giving up many times. I never want to hear the words "Extreme Potato Counter" or "Ultimate Bullseye" ever again as long as I live! 
I got a few items worth about 5 to 10K, but nothing really spectacular. Daze, do ya really think we might get a trophy and stuff? I figured it's unlikely we'll get more prizes, since we got prizes along the way, but a trophy would really rock. But I worry if we do get one, it might be really ugly. XD

I don't know for sure.
I am only speculating because TNT made the new userlookups with Site Events distinguished from Plot Trophies mean that Site Events are going to give out trophies.
Also because there is actual points relating to each challenge, I think this means some kind of reward based on our points.
I am thinking that Events such as the Altador Cup and Games Challenge may be run more frequently.

Still...I keep getting the feeling that every other player got 846 points.

Yes, but if you read the "rules", it seems as if this is something that will change occassionally, and close. Some people may not be able to finish all the games by when they close it (I don't know if I will... I'll be working and sleeping, fitting in games when I can at work). So some may get less... or get more next time they have a Game Master Challenge.
Most frustrating of the whole thing?
I re-read some of the "backstory" on the games... and re-read the following:
(Escape to Kruledor)
"This game is from our Dr. Sloth plot, click here to learn more about the characters! "
*sad*

You will only get 846 if you finish the whole challenge - not everyone will if TNT closes it. Even if TNT don't close it, a lot of people will find playing all 62 games impossible.
I know on my old computer I wouldn't have finished because it couldn't handle a lot of the bigger games.

Yep, I have an old computer and a few of the games crash my Firefox and/or computer any time I try them... Snowmuncher, Gadgadsgame, Whack-a-Ghost, and (for some crazy reason) Splat-a-Sloth. I managed to do 50 games, but unless I can borrow my brother's computer for a while, I won't be playing all 62.

Well, I've played 50 games...that's as high as I can go. I mean, there are other games I could play easily, but you only get points if you complete a challenge, right?
As far as prizes go...I got some junk, but I got a book worth about 15k and a couple other things worth about 8-9k, so it's not so bad for a lot of games I'd be playing anyway.
Plus I made about 35k from the games themselves. This was fun, despite Magma Blaster and Bullseye frustration (the highest score I got there was 32, catupult cheat and all. Blah).

Zega:
Mynci Plushie - around 8k
Slugawoo Adventures - 5k
Mashed Potato Man - UB
Buzz Avenger - 14k
Everything else is 1500 or less. Hope this helps!

Aah, complete...
Extreme Potato Counter and Ultimate Bullseye will mark the champions from the rest. Hardest ones for me too... but I finally got lucky and scored a whopping 78 in UB

Yeah, but if you play them all you complete another challenge too and you'd get another 2 prizes.

sweet mother of mercies, i finally finished it. Managed to finally get past 50 on Ultimate 'headache' Bullseye...probably after 100 plays

I'm surprised that so many people had/have trouble with Ultimate Bullseye; but I've played it faithfully for a year so maybe I've just adapted to its annoying nuisances.
There is something horribly wrong with that game, though; the speed of the power bar actually changes depending on how laggy the site is, and unfortunately much of it can go unnoticed if it's only a slight change in speed, which means one can find themselves letting go too early (or late if the bar miraculously speeds up) without even realizing it. It's really hard to establish a pattern when the mechanics are constantly changing.
If you haven't tried it yet, I strongly recommend using the catapult cheat. I start every game with it; that way, if I use it at the end to help miraculously hit the bullseye, I can get an extra turn. (Although most of you probably already knew that
).

I found out that opening 10 windows slows down Ultimate Bullseye enough so that the power up goes slower. Its easier to "fire" it at the right time for me

I think the problem with UB is that is has a heavy learning curve. It takes time to learn to get any kind of reliable result and most people just try it and figure its too hard for them. Why bother learning this game when I can play something else I'm better at? Games are supposed to be fun after all
But giving us a challenge like this, those rarely played games finally get the attention. And if you're serious enough, you'll practice to get the needed result.

Great point. I never actually played many of the qualifying games ever (or for awhile), so I found a few more good ones that I'm decent at. I think the Games Master Challenge was a great idea on TNT's part. For all the complaining we do about the new games room, they sure found a great way for us to use it
