A New Way to Keep Track of Wasting Time
As usual the internet single handedly suceeds in one thing.
Wasting my time.
Well, that isn't it, exactly. But you know how it is. One web site leads to a fourm, that leads to something else interesting and you spend the rest of your night on the internet.
While on the forum for Atlus games I noticed something in this guy's sig that was called "My Backloggery". It appeared to be a web site that tracks games you haven't beaten yet. That's just what I was looking for last year when I finally gave up. I decided such a thing didn't exist. Ok, that isn't it. I KNEW they had to exist but I couldn't find a damn one! Search engines are great, but sometimes you just can't figure out how to tell it what you REALLY want.
So I checked it out and sure enough, it was just what I was looking for. I figured if I could track my game progress I could feel more accomplished and I *might* be able to find more time to play. *haha* But at the very least I could have a record of games I had finished, even if only for my own use.
So now, with great pride I present 5 hours worth of my time (in typing, thinking, and organizing my games). My Backloggery:
(if I did it right you should be able to click the update for my actual page. I always have trouble with links!)
I have chosen a slightly different approach than most of the others on this site. Instead of listing all umpteen million games I have and don't have that I ever want to play as "unfinished" I have only listed the ones I have actually started on as Unfinished. Anything in my collection I haven't started yet or never finished but played so long ago I would have to start over I have have listed as "null".
My whole goal is to focus on what I am playing and trying to beat currently. I'd feel awefully demoralized if I listed every game I owned that I haven't beaten yet (and a lot of people do). One guy had over 800 games listed as unbeaten! My god, how can you set a goal for something like that!!? How can you even track all that!
Nope, that's not the way I'm going to do it. I hope to keep it simple.
If anyone else is on Backloggery or if you end up joining let me know so I can add you as a friend!
