About

Some say he never sleeps and eats only gourmet amaretto cupcakes. Others claim he's a hyperactive optimist. To citizens of the Destructoid empire, though, he's Captain Starkey, Intergalactic Games Journalist.

Disclosure: In my undergrad at the University of Minnesota, I did do PR and event promotion for Microsoft. It does not and has not affected any of the pieces I have written, but it is something that you, as a reader, should know.

My growing backlog...

Daniel Starkey

7:29 PM on 07.27.2011

I want to make some sort of pathetic attempt to keep this active, though it seems that is getting harder by the day. A growing problem for me has been the amount of time I am spending on non-gaming things. I haven't really sat-down and played anything outside of a LAN since LA Noire came out.

I've had the same two games out from Gamefly since the start of the summer, and Steam hasn't really helped my situation.

On the to-play list right now:
Saboteur
GTA4
The Darkness
Condemned 1 and 2
Ilo Milo
Bastion
Scrapland
Bit.Trip everything
Atom Zombie Smasher
Alpha Protocol
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Dear Esther
Europa Universalis 3
Far Cry 2
Machinarium
The longest Journey
Dreamfall the Longest Journey
Torchlight
Left 4 Dead 2
Infamous
the new need for speed game
Heavy Rain
Metal Gear Solid 4

Just a few months ago I had no backlog... now I'm wondering how I will finish these before the end of the year. I really need to stop buying so many games. :(

Is this blog awesome? Vote it up!

I feel you. Right now is the only time to really work on it to. Once Deus Ex comes out I'll be swamped followed by Gears 3, Skyrim, and those other games coming out that I can't think of at the moment.

Kaggen

Yeah, same here, but I feel pretty excited to play all of the games I've played so I don't see it as a "problem" :) Though I'm not entierly sure if I should abandon some games that I've grown tired of like persona 3. I'm currently 100h in and I'm not sure If I should dedicate more time to it ^^ Does anyone else have that dilemma?

nightmare

guys what about modern warfare 3??? its coming out in November this year...

Some of those work fine in every now and then sessions, like atom zombie smasher, the bit.trip games and torchlight. I'd recommend ATZ if you have random 5-10min breaks or if you don't know how long your gaming session will last.
