Oh hello there, I didn't see you come in. Have a seat! We have so much to talk about - specifically my attempts to bribe you with sweet giveaways.

Bribe, you say? Yes, I do say. I also do bribe - within this post, deep within this post, is a train! A pretty good train if I do say so myself.

But first...

Like many of you, I have amassed a collection of games in my months at Steam Gifts. With the Humble Bundles, and various weekly Sales, I have seen my digital shelves grow to digital bursting. Like many of you... I suffer from a Back Log.

As such! I have decided to conquer my back log with the help of a blog.

Not just any blog though - a Back Blog.

I intend to play through every game I have, and write at least one post on every one. Some of these posts will be full of jokes, others will be full of deep introspection - others will be diaries, or lets plays, or whatever - I don't know for sure yet. It's bound to be pretentious though!

Anyways, I'd love for you Steam Gifters to give me the gift of your readership. Hence the bribes. I've laid out a list of the rules which can be found Here

I've also started the Project - my first game is Aarklash Legacy - which I've written about Here

So where do you come in? First you ride the train. Then you click on the links in the train, and if you're intrigued, you sign up so you know when those posts are hot out the oven, or presses, or whatever heat based metaphor works for you.

Specifically, for this site, I've created a Steam Group - linked in the train - if I see enough traffic, members, etc, my plan is to start giving away copies of the games I especially like from my Back Log (obviously once I've played and written about them)

I also plan on taking votes for the next game, and other aspects of the blog - crowd participation! You guys love crowd participation right?!

So that's that, thanks for taking a look - and hereeeee is the TRAIN

EDIT

Wow holy hell the turnout on this exceeded my expectations. Thanks to everyone for the luck wishing, and especially anyone who bookmarked, liked, followed, read, etc!

I'm taking the advice of HitScan and adding a page to the steam group that will update w/ every post - so if you don't use any other form of social media and you want to follow you can do so there.

I really appreciate the support from everyone - I've already prepped an update for tomorrow! So if you're following, check in then.

I'll try to go through and individually respond to people following, who had questions, etc - sorry I can't respond to everyone who said good luck, but I read em all, and I appreciate every one :)

That is a good way to deal with unplayed games. I'll maybe even read it if I don't feel too lazy.

You probably should - it's 100% guaranteed to make you AT LEAST chuckle. Or crack a smile. Or a bemused eyebrow raise.

Nice selection of AAA games you're giving here.

I enjoyed your post on Aarklash Legacy. That sexy dog woman, what a joke!

That's a very ambitious project! I kid myself that 'one day' I'll play through my back log but SteamLeft tells me I need 7,067 hours so it's probably never gonna happen! Thanks for the nice train :-)

Good writing! I usually get tired of read some long posts, but you write a very good captivating text. Keep it going.

I suffer from back log too. Sometimes I got angry with myself and I punish myself playing one or two backlog games. Sometimes they suck and well, "now I know", I say. And I move on.

It's not an easy task. Especially with those "rules" you made for yourself. But goodluck with your project.

Maybe you got to play some backlog games that I have and encourage me to play it too.

Have a bump and thanks for the AWESOME train ;D

Thanks for the compliment! I have a big enough backlog (1500+) that I would bet I have something you've thought of playing! And if it turns out it's crap, at least you'll know ahead of time - keep checking back!

I always enjoy seeing others conquer their backlog. I'm trying to get mine organised and battled BLAEO. unfortunately the little time I have for gaming doesn't seem to suffice to play every game as extensively as you do. I wish you the best of luck with it and I'm happy to read your blog from time to time. =)

Thanks! I don't have an exceptional amount of free time, I just decided that I won't be buying new games anymore - I figure this will take AT LEAST 4 years to finish.

But hey, that's a lot of writing material!
