About

Nerd. Dork. Geek. Singer. Gamer. DJ. Husband-to-be. I'm lots of things.

I've lived 100% of my life in Texas. That year and a half in Oklahoma don't count because, well, it was Oklahoma.

When I'm not working or spending time with the wife-to-be, then I'm gaming (unless it's one of those rare occasions that I actually spend some time practicing my djing). I love all types of games except sports games. I especially love RPGs and action games.

I currently do administrative work for a major university, but I hope to eventually get an MBA and work in the game industry on the business side of things.

Backlog Horror

djnealb

11:19 AM on 10.20.2011

Since Halloween is just around the corner, I thought that I would share a rather frightening scene for any gamer. The Backlog. No, I'm not going to be starting my own series of me going through and trying to complete my massive backlog of video games. I just feel like sharing the recent additions/pending additions to my backlog. Also, by no means am I claiming to have the worst backlog in the world.

Let's see: I bought the Ico/SotC HD Collection when it came out, got Dark Souls in the mail the other week because I preordered the Collector's Edition back in June, I'm only about 1/2 way thru White Knight Chronicles 1 on the White Knight Chronicles 2 disc (meaning I still haven't touched 2 yet), I'm currently working on Rage, just bought Arkham City on Tuesday, and plan on getting Uncharted 3, Skyrim, and Zelda: Skyward Sword. All of that, plus all of the older PS2 and Gamecube games that I either haven't finished or even started yet.

Yep, I'd say that my backlog is probably S.O.L. of ever getting completed.

p.s. I'll try to take a picture of all the games that are on the backlog this evening when I get home.

Is this blog awesome? Vote it up!

You should burn through ICO because I've heard it can be beaten in 2 hours.

I found Ico hard - the puzzles are cheap. Also, the controls are a little wonky. Still, it's a good game.

I remember I rented Ico back in high school and found one of the puzzles to be pretty hard, but that was nearly 10 years ago so who knows what I'll think of it now. I got the collection more for SotC because I freakin' love that game.

CelicaCrazed

I've done a pretty good job of holding off buying games so I'm in good position right now. Just haven't played anything recent though -__-. Good luck with the backlog!!

MrSadistic

I still haven't beaten Ico, and I got the HD collection on launch day as well. I've just been randomly playing horror games to get me in the mood for Halloween in 10 days.
