MGS2 Caused Me to Quit Gaming (But I'm Back)

Jul 16, 2016

I played through Metal Gear Solid (1) late last year, and it drove me crazy...in the worst way. I thought the story was awful, the gameplay was frustrating at best and maddening at worst. I really want to get to Metal Gear Solid V based on what I heard about it when it came out, and I think I could like MGS4 based on what was said about it. However, it's really hard getting through the early ga...

Finally getting to Firewatch and The Witness!!!

Mar 8, 2016

I'm on to my 3rd "To Play" list of 2016, and I'm happy to say that this method is really working for me! I'm getting through a lot of smaller games (or pieces of DLC) and really feeling good about the little time I'm able to put into games. I really wanted to play Firewatch and The Witness day-one. However, I held myself to my lists, and I'm glad I did. I missed the initial hype of the games, b...

Revision to my Backlog/To Play Strategy

Jan 20, 2016

I'm going to post soon about some of the games I recently played, but I'm just going to post something quick about what has already worked on my new "To Play" List strategy for 2016 and what I'm already revising. What is Working I've already worked through 3 games and am finishing up a fourth. They are all the shorter games on my list (under 8 hours), and it is so encouraging to be working thro...

Fakey's 2015 Games of the Year

Jan 16, 2016

As I've done previously, my Game of the Year list consists of the best games I played this year, regardless of what year they were released. I continue to play a lot of older games on my backlog, and I think it is more interesting to rank all the games I played, rather than just the few that were actually released this year. Honorable Mentions Beyond Eyes I love everything that Beyond Eyes stan...

My New Backlog System

Jan 8, 2016

It seems like I always try to start the year strong with writing on my blog, but I always slow down and stop half-way through the year. That may happen again this year... But I'm going to try to at least post every 2 weeks... My biggest "gaming goal" for this year, however, is to get a better system for playing through my backlog. This system isn't directly supposed to lead to me playing more g...

What I'm Playing Instead...of Cities: Skylines

Apr 12, 2015

There has been a ton of buzz about Cities: Skylines , and I nearly bought it a couple times when I saw some good deals. However, as I stated in my previous blog entry , the purpose of these "What I'm Playing Instead" entries is to force me to buy less games and, instead, play games I already own that are in my backlog. I've spent hundreds of dollars over the last few years in Steam sales, on pr...
