We're working on new rules right now, sit tight if you're waiting to join - we'll open a new thread shortly :)


This thread was opened to introduce the group Backlog Assassins Extraordinaire, or BLAEO for short. This is what we do:

  • Play our backlog-games [mostly focusing on SG wins first]
  • Post about our progress in dedicated threads and here on SG on our brand-new website O.O (thanks to mandrill!)
  • Possibly sometimes share giveaways (this is not a GA group, there are no ratio requirements or any expectations of GAs)
  • Play games based on monthly themes

What you need to have if you'd like to join us:

  • An SG account
  • A Steam account with unfinished games (i.e., a Steam backlog)
  • A willingness to work on your backlog

Requirement to stay in the group:
Please set up your backlog plan in your profile on our website and sort your games there, or post your progress thread in our Steam forums sometime within 3 weeks of joining - otherwise we may think you're not serious about your backlog and may ask you to leave the group ^^
Reply to this post if you'd like to join. Feel free to ask questions about the group here as well - I can't promise any answers, but I'll do my best.

We recently started excluding inactive members (no posts or organizing their profiles on the website since joining 4 weeks ago or earlier). If you feel we've made mistake excluding you, please post here with your reason(s) or contact us in the group's chat.

I have like a dozen or two dozen visual novels I would like to clear from my backlog, and then there's the JRPGs too... urgh, so many games, so little time. I'm trying my best, though T_T

Sure, I need some incentive. I do try to get 100% achievements, but I know I won't be able to do really difficult ones.

Sent you an invite. :) I'm sure you can get them with some time and practice, if you're that much of an achievement hunter. There are a lot of achievements I was certain I would never get at first, and then one day I somehow got them. :P

If I recall correctly, Valve now wants you to spend at least 5 €/$ before giving you full access to your profile. Until then it will be a "limited" one. (it wasn't like this before).
..or it could be just a "bug" =P

About... 450+ games on backlog I think? :,) Not all the games will run on my computer, but I'm slowly working through the ones that do... In between studying for tests, that is e.e Just beat one today, in fact~

I'm already in one backlog group, but I wouldn't mind joining another--especially one that's active on SG. I have a few games that I'm currently working on and hope to finish soon. Ofc, for me, it's hard to call a game truly "complete" until all achievements are unlocked. Anyway, you can count me in! :)

Invited :) Achievements are tricky, especially since the difficulty attached to them varies from game to game, so I'm usually happy when I just finish the main story - but going for 100% is always cool as well :)

I've beaten five games from Jan 2016 to today. Working on my backlog more seriously -.-

I think I'm ready for this now (: Between school and trying to 100% Isaac: Rebirth + Afterbirth (long way to go), I might still have some time to play other games (...I think?) It's mandrill's website that really made me wanna join though (: Looks great! Otherwise I'd be content with silently stalking all your threads :P
