Full steam ahead - Latest : Galactic Civilizations I : Ultimate Edition Preplay

the term "backlog" is one of my biggest pet peev's.... it seems like such a pointless word that has no meaning

I am totally interested in this. Where / how do I sign up?

How could I join that group? It seems perfect for me to tackle my huge list of unplayed games.

Sounds like a cool group I'd totally join

Seems like a nice group but according to their profile they're full. :)

Group says its full.

I see your relatively new here, use the reply function. That way, the person it replying to, knows and is aware of your reply.

By now I realize I'm having the same issue. Since I started I finished 5 games and acquired 21 new ones. Damn those bundles!

thank you

It is. I meant that you could ask the group admins if you feel like joining, I believe they're pretty active on the SG forum.
EDIT: I don't know if non-admins can send invites for private groups. If it's possible and you want to join, then I could send you one.

I can follow your train of thought but in my case I don't even play some of the games I really want to play. I look at my list and instantly feel as if I have nothing good to play.
Then when I see a game on sale that I'm mildly interested in I feel as if that one game is the game I've been waiting for, spent my cash and don't even bother installing it, as if the act of buying the game outweighs the actual playing of it.
This is a circle I'm looking to break and the only way I see to do that is by playing the games I already spent my money on.

I don't have 500 unworn shirts in my closet.

So did I. )-:

Sorry for the confusion, I wasn't aware of the ship 2 connection

Works for me ;)

Problem with that is that collectors collect the stuff they do because there is some value in the act of owning it on its own. Rare stamps or coins are worth something, and by that I don't necessarily mean money per se. The feeling of satisfaction can lie in the fact that something is rare or that you as a collector had to go to some lengths in order to obtain it. For games on Steam none of these things are true. The games aren't rare, in fact there's an unlimited supply. I didn't have to do research or take a 12 hour drive to get it, I just clicked a button. I can't hold it or show it to a friend. The only worth a digital copy of a game has is in the entertainment that game can provide. So by just buying games and never playing them I feel that I am, in fact, throwing away money.

I hope I didn't bum you out :) Late response because I had to take some time putting this into words. Hope any of it makes sense

Thanks man
That's part of the problem as well.
I hope to force myself to play some more games by going this.
It's weird actually that I have to force myself to do something I really enjoy, but for some reason gaming can seem a task.

Ahh, bad thread.

thank you

You should check out Steam Completionist
I think it will be helpful in your case

Do you have a link to your attempt? I might write about it in a second We are many if I find enough projects

Let me quote myself from an earlier reply :
"It's weird actually that I have to force myself to do something I really enjoy, but for some reason gaming can seem a task."
You are right of course, gaming isn't hard work, but at times it feels as if it is, otherwise I wouldn't be doing this.

I have no intend to copy someone else's work, that would defeat the purpose :D

You could check out the backlog attack mentioned earlier in this thread, it's a similar concept

Thanks for the support, appreciated :)
