  • Well. The nature of my backlog is like I wait for games to come down in price and by the time I get to them they’re 10 years old haha.

    I also have a habit of playing through the entire series before playing the newest one. I’m currently playing Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion which is the 4th game from Japan in that series but the 2nd to be released in US, SO I’m playing through it even though I don’t like it and will beat the next two games to finally play Trails in the Sky which is the one I really probably should have started with.

    I do that with all my games, like Doom Eternal looks cool and so does the upcoming Dark Ages, but I went back and played Doom 1 & 2. 64, then the updated remaster of Doom 1 & 2 when that came out, and now I’m working on Doom 3. I got one more whole Doom game before I even get to Eternal.








  • Whenever I get back on my feet life seems to kick me down again. I never am good at saving, but every time I start to get my debt under control,pay off a loan or something, something else hits me that i need to take out another loan for, or i lose my job and have to struggle to pay the bills for a few months while racking up credit card debt. The house I moved to 3 years ago was the single worst financial decision I ever made, and I wound up having a day 1 plumbing emergency (6k), replacing the roof and all the windows (30k each), replacing the dish washer, clothes washer, and dryer (another 6k), having the sewer line collapse for 12k, finding out all the electrical outlets used aluminum wiring and were sparking during the winter when it got cold so another 7k, the finished basement started flooding and to get it waterproofed they had to rip out the finishing and that cost 7k to do, and the repairs to put it all back will be another 7k after I pay off this other loan I’m close to paying off. That’s just the past 3 years but my life has been a Neverending series of crap like this.



  • Mainly Banishers Ghosts of New Eden. I don’t have much money at the moment due to almost 4 months of unemployment, just got a new job and with my first paycheck from 4 days of work I got that, plus the new humble bundle, a couple coloring packs cause I like the pixel coloring books, and a couple games that were $2-3 each: a zelda clone called Blossom Tales, The Snow Fable: Mystery of the Flame (I also like hidden object adventure games), a lovecraftian 2d platformer called The Last Case of Benedict Fox, and adventure game version of Sherlock Holmes: Hound of the Baskervilles and a Wipeout clone called Flashout 3.
