What is The Backloggery?

Quote:Play a lot of video games? If so, there's a good chance you've accumulated a backlog over the years. Sure, you've been meaning to go back and play them but it seems like there's always something getting in the way. Work? School? Family? Even those pesky new games that keep coming out before you've finished the last one. How are you supposed to keep up? Never mind trying to get through the old ones in your backlog!

What you need is a little motivation. What gamer doesn't like to look over their stats and celebrate the milestones as they progress toward a goal? That's where we come in. We'll keep track of everything for you so you'll know what you've done and what still needs your attention. Inputting your games is quick and easy. No slow, endless lists to search through. Just type it in and go!

You just might discover a lot of great games that were swept aside long ago. And best of all, you already own them!

Why?
Well, as the quote from the main page says above, the Backloggery gives you a convenient place to keep track of your games and your progress in them, especially if you're a collector like me and keeping track of so many games can become difficult.

In addition, it also allows you to use this handy auto-updating forum signature that shows the most recent three games you've been playing, as well as the stats on how many games you've beaten or completed.

(Note that I haven't included maybe 3/4ths of my games yet so my profile is nowhere near complete)

It works well for me and lets me look at what I'm playing at the moment, so if you have a profile then feel free to share yours here as well.

It's not in my sig since only Dilbert fits it (and that's much more important) but here's mine:



I keep forgetting to update but it is a good way to keep track of your games and what I need to finish.

My backloggery is in my signature. I haven't got all my games on it, but writing profiles for all of them would be too much work.

This is MOST of my backlog of games I have yet to start. I have others that I don't intend to start any time soon (Final Fantasy XIII is one example. I will play that eventually though, it was a gift, but partially a joke I think, so... maybe not).

This doesn't include games that I have started and have yet to finish, like Golden Sun: Dark Dawn and Lost Odyssey.

* Kosheh begins sweating profusely

Mine's up to date. kinda wish it would display more than three games at a time.

hmm yes, my complete/beaten is more then uncomplete.
