Games Being Played in This Video: Dynamite Headdy, Donkey Kong Country, ToeJam & Earl, A Link to the Past, Super Mario 64
Took me two years to get back and play A link to the Past and beat it. Consider it a backlog game
Dynamite Headdy is such an underrated gem.
First time I've seen Dynamite Headdy. Looks fantastic!
I'm pleasantly surprised by the amount of Dynamite Headdy in this video.
Were these games on your backlog? Working on your backlog while talking about backlogs?
I stopped calling it a backlog since it sounds so negative. A backlog is an obligation, a Game Library is something to be explored and enjoyed.
I like that mentality!
This! I see so many people poor time , love and money into building a collection….and then complain about their massive collection
So glad I found this gent’s channel.
He is definitely a breath of banana flavored fresh air for sure!
You'll like what he has to say
"Ok I should stop collecting so I can clear most of the backlog, I'll start with Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, then Resident Evil Code Veronica, then maybe Little Nemo..."
Goes out, buys 15 games, 2 consoles, a CRT, an arcade cabinet, a cat, and a brand new leather couch.
"Ok I should stop collecting so I can clear most of the backlog, I'll start with Neo Turf Masters, then Little Samson, then maybe Nintendo World Championships..."
I feel seen
Little Sampson? Nintendo World Championship? I want to know what job YOU have, that makes that kinda money.
Recently I started working on the "midlog" getting the shorter ones off so I can focus on the longer ones
That can be fun because then you can beat a bunch of games in a short amount of time.
I've also taken that approach before. Get all the shorter action based games out of the way before digging into any long RPGs or anything.
It a lot less daunting (and more organized) to finish something that's already in progress and THEN move on to the next thing than to start something new right away.
In that sense, though, I wonder how speedrunning changes the dynamic of a backlog. Because then it's no longer about beating a game, but rather beating it over and over again to get increasingly shorter times.
Imagine if, instead of commiting to just beating every single game you have, but rather commiting to getting the World Record in every single one?
LOL! This thread! Y’all treat it like a job. 😆
That outro is amazing, I want to hear a full album of that.
My friend who sings it may do a full song at some point.
I’ve beat The Legend of Zelda “A Link to the Past” over a dozen times and it never gets old.
I'm not a retro gamer by any stretch but my trick to games is to only have one game on my backlog at any time. I always know what I'm going to play next without the stress of feeling over burdened. I use the same approach for books. The feat feels less Herculean and more enjoyable.
Playing guitar is another hobby I have besides playing video games. If I'm feeling a bit burned out on games or it's feeling like a chore, I just play guitar. It's a good stress reliever too
I learned to relax and not worry about what I haven't played and just enjoy what I'm playing atm life is short we can never play EVERYTHING just enjoy what you can when you can however you can.
Up until a few years ago I never really had an issue with my backlog. Then I started collecting more and buying new games for my older systems as well as modern games and things have gotten a bit out of control.
What I’ve been doing to manage the backlog is by not playing 2 long games back to back. I’ll use shorter games in between like pallet cleansers, which helps to make the list shorter quicker.
Another reason why my backlog picked up is being afraid prices will skyrocket in the future if I don’t get the game now. I’ve come to terms that there will always be a game that I’ll want but I should play what I have first and if the price goes up I’ll deal with it then. If the price goes too crazy there are always other means to play it.
Great job on the video with awesome suggestions. Also, I still love that term “midlog”
A big issue for me is the overwhelming choice, and what happens is I often stick with games I am familiar with and I know that I will enjoy. So now I've started a project to capture some play time for all the games in my collection, just to have some stock video available. Funny thing is I keep running into games I actually enjoy and having some video of it makes it easier to choose playing them.
I saw a post on r/patientgamers talking about how you can play about an hour of a game from your backlog and the decide if you wanna keep playing or not, guilt-free. It’s been a lot less intimidating than feeling like I need to tackle 100+ hours of a game. :)
Yeah, the ol' test run is the way to go.
I find a check in at around the 3 hour mark is thr sweet spot for whether i want to keep playing or not.
The midlog is where I have issues. I love gaming, but I don't necessarily always care about finishing games. I don't really have a backlog or a midlog written down on paper or digitally either. It's just all in my head. Maybe I should write one up and get to work reducing it! One tip I can give folks with a huge backlog is to try to play everything you buy for an hour (Or at least a few minutes!) before putting it up, that way, you've got the smallest backlog possible. :)
Needed to hear this, it's rough being an adult gamer and it's definitely not the easiest thing when it comes to managing time for your hobbies
Glad to hear. I was really hoping this video would be helpful for people.
I gave up the whole backlog thing. I just look through my collection when I feel the need to play something. Sometimes it's a particular type of game, other times it might be a particular system I want to play.
In the past I used to be really burdened and plagued by my backlog. But nowadays ive changed how I see my backlog and it has been a big relief. My backlog now just means "some games here and there im interested in" and thats it. Whether i get to them or not isnt that big of a deal.
Hey Retro Bird, how about the opposite of a backlog. A BEATEN log. One thing that helped me get over some of the backlog stress was to start a log of games that I had beaten. How Long To Beat lets you create a profile where you can track games that you have already beaten. When I started mine, I started completely fresh without adding games I beat prior to making my account. They add a time stamp when I add a game that I beat so I can go back and see what games I've beaten in a given year. They also have some other cool stats that you can look at as you build your beaten game log!
i dont have a backlog, instead i do things a little different. i typically play different types of games.. like for example, ill have a game im working on like chronotrigger or something, some huge game im playing that takes time, but on the side multiplayer games for friends like mariokart 64, and other games like that. also i like to have one unbeatable game (mine is ninja gaiden 2) to keep going back to, and 2 or 3 wildcards.. things that you just start up and play like mario bros or r-type, wildguns..
i never liked the idea of a backlog because i think it would be hard to really get into a really good game with other games hanging over your head.. i agree with you retrobird in that having a backlog could add a sense of stress and urgency when people should just be able to just chill out and play something they like whatever it is.. perhaps its a symptom of modern life? that everything has to be ordered and structured (put on a to-do list).. but i think with a hobby like ours, that sort of thing defeats the purpose, we just want to have some fun lol
Exactly, this practice of tracking statistics for everything really became a thing when "Big Data" started growing rapidly in industry several years ago. You get these job titles like "Data Scientist" that are actually pretty new relatively speaking. When industry started changing, people started doing the same thing to their own hobbies, and has resulted in sites like Lastfm (track your music listening), MyAnimeList, Backloggery etc. which admittedly I thought were neat and useful at one time, but you get to a point where it's like, why do I need this? Why am I spending time and energy and stress tracking this? I met this one engineer one time who had his kids hit punch cards on a tablet when they would start and finish chores and whatnot, feeding data into Excel charts and macro algorithms to visualize the data in all kinds of ways. I felt sorry for those kids.
My backlog really only consists of NFL 2K1. (Not that I really even like sports games, I just have very few games in general)
My midlog on the other hand...
- Rayman 2
- Fallout 1
- Doom 3
- Doom 64
- Halo Wars
- Assassins Creed: Odyssey
- Crash Bandicoot (1,2, and 3)
- Spyro the Dragon (just 2 and 3)
- Punch-Out!! NES
- Punch-Out!! Wii
- Sonic and Knuckles
This kinda makes me happy that I don’t really have that many games, so I’ve never actually had a backlog.
119 thumbs up and 0 thumbs down says a lot about the retro bird, it means he’s the freaking man that’s what it means. Oh yea and he loves bananas, do something about it bucko.
Now it's 206 with 0 likes :)
As a kid, backlogs weren't even a thing as I only had about a dozen or so games. 😅 However, now I manage my ever-growing collection by making a small list for each console of 5-10 "must-play" games. I rank which games I am most excited to play and start with the top-ranked first. I then focus on only playing one or two games at a time. I find more enjoyment on not spreading myself too thin with playing too many games (especially longer single-player games).
Also, sometimes it is a good idea to take a small break from playing video games. Enjoy other aspects of your life and then return to your games with a fresh mind. Gaming should never feel like a chore.
I consider all the games in my collection that I haven’t played yet to be part of my “backlog.” But I don’t treat my backlog like it’s a beast that needs to be conquered. I determine what I want to play next based on how high on the priority list the game is, which I usually have 3-5 in mind that I get excited to play next. I’m comfortable with the fact ill never finish every game in my collection, but I do love having options and knowing there’s always something waiting for me. And I do feel a sense of accomplishment when I finish a game. Not that I’m excited I don’t have to play it anymore, but that I had my fun with it and I know there’s other fun games I get to make time for now
I try not to stress about my backlog which is not insubstantial. Generally I approach games in waves by type that I'm in the mood for (i.e first person shooters, Nintendo style platformers, RPGs, etc.) and this lasts for a few months at least so there's usually 3-5 games similar to the one I'm currently playing that I look forward to. If I don't get to them and my mood changes I don't really stress over it.
I like the idea of consolidating the backlog, and crossing games off. I'll try that.
The struggle is real. My backlog is brutal. Part of the problem is I want to 100% and beat most games. Now I also have an addiction of buying more.
Love the channel and really enjoyed your take on this topic. My issue is I love playing "never ending" games like strategy games and rogue lites but I also really love RPGs so I'm always torn between doing a run/match in one of my endless games or starting a new rpg which is usually a huge time commitment.
I would try to not think of it as an issue. If playing those types of games is what you enjoy then go for it. Just gotta adjust your expectations for how much you can play other games.
I agree with Retro Bird. I used to think that playing "endless games" was an issue but i realized that is very far from the truth. You just have to pay attention to how much your playing the endless games and not cut them out. Sometimes you can play endless games as a brain-break from your backlog too if you ever feel that going straight to another game will make you tired.
I have Rondo of blood, sonic 3, Mario sunshine, street fighter collection, plus others but yet I’m still thinking of getting the neo geo mini.
I have three tiers:
1- games I’m playing now (2-3 usually)
2- next five
3- a list of games I haven’t played
I found that the second tier really helps. Just having a next up gives me focus and enjoyment. I choose that. And it can be adjusted!
I'm now allowing myself to buy 1 game per month, which has been enough time to complete a game before moving on. So far I'm on game #4 - Contra 3. Never beat it and never owned it, can't wait.
My problem is not wanting to start single-player games if I don't have 4+ hours to play them. ALonisgde school during the school year, I just play multiplayer games. Once summer hits, I'm so used to multiplayer games that I usually stick with them for most of the summer too! Its all mindset for me
I like having games I haven’t played yet. I don’t see it as something that produces stress, I see them as opportunities for future enjoyment. If I’m really excited about a game, I tend to save it until I have friends to enjoy them with as that makes the experience greater.
my favorite retro gamer on youtube
I don't need to control my backlog. My backlog controls me.
I like the game status categories for Member Profiles used on Mobygames:
"Favorites" (= "Never Finished")
"Currently Paying" (= "Midlog")
"Up Next" (= "Backlog")
My backlog is the biggest it's ever been, but all things considered, it's quite small and I don't ever plan on seeing it grow any more than it has. I have 90ish percent of the games I want and I don't anticipate collecting much more, even new releases. I've set my boundaries and I'm going to complete my collection. After that, I'll re-live the greats.
This might be my favourite backlog video. Some unique tips, compared to the others.
Excellent video! I needed this...
Good to hear!
My biggest problem with conquering my backlog is I often find myself replaying games I've already beaten multiple times as a form of comfort food. My backlog is extremely out of control, yet here I am playing through Beyond Oasis yet again lol
I like your midlog idea. I have several games I’m at various points at. As adults it’s hard gaining ground while also not ignoring life responsibilities. Also there are some games that I need to be in the right frame of mind in order to play or enjoy.
Plus now I’ve screwed myself by getting back into GameCube collecting and getting games I’ve always wanted to play or that I rented back in the day. So combining those with my current gen games and I’ll be busy for awhile. But I enjoy it
I am starting to get caught up in my backlog of games ranging from 10-20 years old lol. How I am getting caught up is not buying many new games anymore unless it’s one I know I will enjoy. Too many recent games are just too repetitive like being the same as the game prior to it or just too similar to another game.
My backlog is curently 10 games 😅
I usually beat my backlog games in the summer vacation. I'm aiming to beat at least 5 games this summer.
Watching playthroughs on youtube is another option for whittling down your backlog! Especially if the game is heavy on narrative but you don't find it very interesting to play (a number of RPGs come to mind).
But the best way to deal with it to is to meditate on the transience of being and just be like whatever dood. :)
I have a massive backlog and I have a whole notebook of all the games I wanna play someday including ones I don't own. It's way more convenient to go through that way because then I can keep all the different series together instead of having them in a random order. I'm only 25 so hopefully I have at least 50 more years to get through it, that might be enough :p
I cut out paper rectangles and slip them into the spines of my game cases. Anytime I beat a game I get the satisfaction of pulling out that bit of paper and Anytime I want to start something new I just look for ones with it. I got about a 50% completion, 10% midlog and 40% backlog rate at the moment.
*Things I Didn't Expect to Confront By Watching This Video:*
- My mortality
- How many bananas is too many bananas
In all seriousness, I have two other phrases for "backlog" that I like to use:
First, "my collection" -- since it's almost entirely stuff I haven't played yet.
Second, "potential new favorite games."
Zero guilt. I'll get there when I get there.
My Backlog I've been chipping away at my JRPG games. One game at a time for me lol
I get games beatn way faster this way vs playing multiple.
I do get games even though I haven't beat my current ones, But I am slowly catching up. ☺️
Best outro song on any gamer channel!
Thank you Billy!
Need motivation to stop/pause buying games, have a kid, it worked for me😂.
What I would really recommend is, focus your game consumption.
Like don't start several games, finish one and then go to the next one.
This really helped me enjoy games even more because I don't have to remember what happened and how to play it, staying invested into story and characters.
Especially with longer games like Zelda, Control or huge RPGs.
I really had never even thought about selling a few games here and there. The mere thought of the thought seemed blasphemous. Lol. But you’re totally right! Worst case scenario we could buy them back, especially if we don’t actually let go of the truly rare/expensive ones. Great video man!
PS…my switch backlog is gruesome. Literally over 100 games. I’ve decided to stop counting and also to try to stay away from the Great Deals section of the eshop
Sometimes I buy a game I already have, it would be nice to be able to track what you already have and need.
There are some apps that do that. Never used them myself though.
Since I don't have a lot of games I don't have much in my backlog. The only one I have on my backlog is a bugs life for the PS1 but that's just because my PS2 won't play for some reason. At least I got the PS2 for free.
Every game I have is on my midlog because I can enjoy any game I finished. :D
There we go. I love that kind of attitude :)
Thanks RB, this was actually helpful. Your positive attitude is infectious 😀
Glad to hear! Hope it helps you enjoy your games a little more :)
I might try this midlog idea. That sounds pretty interesting and might make the list more manageable.
You've encouraged me.. what we got here...Hades...I'll see you in August
I have a storage ottoman, if it fits, it's in the backlog
Hahah
Interesting topic. It doesn’t bother me if I don’t finish a game - as a child of the 80s I didn’t know what completing was until I was 13 with a SNES. Everything before that kicked my ass. That said, Sekiro has been on my mid log for 2 years and it bugs me that it’s the only Soulsborne I haven’t completed. Now 2 bosses from the end... this year I swear I’ll finish it 🙏
I personally find that I make a lot more progress in games when I'm actually in the mood to play that particular game, so I just ditched my backlog list and started winging it.
Do I leave a lot of games half finished like this? Yes, but I find I'm enjoying my free time a lot more and complete more games in the long run than I did when I was forcing myself to play certain games so I could cross them off a list.
Don't really have a back log I just play what I feel like that day. But yea I agree some people just horde more games then they can play.
Everyone's got a backlog but everyone's got a repeat list as well. The original Contra is at the top of My playlist
I don't really have one to begin with. I just have a small set of games that are on my mind at a time, and I get on those games when I feel like it. There's plenty of games that I started and didn't finish, but it's nice to not have them on a list and only come back to those games if I get random motivation from within.
Nice video! You should do a top 10 snes games video, like you did with the genesis! :)
I buy cheap game lots when I can find them. I haven't played nearly all of them but it doesn't bother me. It makes me feel good knowing I always got new stuff to try out
Ive been guilty of having too many consoles im collecting for. And getting games under the premise buy them now or they may be expensive or hard to find later. Its FOMO. But then there is always something new coming out. So it takes restraint to say i dont need to own every game. Or rationalizing dont just buy to collect buy what you'll actually play. I feel like as i get older and modern console gaming is microtransactions, dlc, and game updates and patches, that im trying to build a stockpile as i view this generation as my last hurrah in gaming before i stop by new. So the switch ps4 and xbox one will be where my game collecting ends. But now im building the switch collection to last a few more years.
What I've been trying to do is just play them whenever I truly feel like it so I don't burn myself out and make it feel like a chore. Also I dont mind just collecting and owning them, even if I don't get around to playing them.
Awesome videos like always.
I've started buying stuff only if I really want to play it, or if it's a super good deal & I'll play it soon. Also no more collectors editions (unless from limited run)!
I keep an unofficial "backlog" of games in my head. If I realize I haven't finished a game and I haven't thought about it in awhile, it's off the backlog, even if I'm in the middle of the game. If something draws me back to it, it's back on and I'll pick up right where I left it usually.
Mange my backlog rationally? Never! The day I finish my backlog is the day I'm finished with the hobby. ;)
1. If paralyzed by a giant backlog, make a shortlist. About 5-10 that interest you the most. Don't add to your shortlist until you check something off first.
2. Games don't have to be beaten to be moved off a backlog. Play a game for 1-2hrs and just not clicking with you personally? Check it off. Played it plenty but didn't beat yet your satisfied and ready to move on? Check it off.
Phone directory backlog here 🤚. And it doesn’t help that I have the secondary “free” game collection building from my game hunting series. The backlog will likely outlive me.
I don't have a formal backlog anymore. I just have a load of games I either bought with the intention of playing or was gifted (often games I also intend on playing). I think at current count my game collection across all systems is at arount the 600 games level though that's including emulation. Without emulation it's about 300 games.
I've played most of them for at least 5 minutes, about half of them for at least an hour, well over 100 until the end credits, and about 40 games I've gone deep and done 100% completion and all trophies (if possible). I think I have a fairly healthy relationship with my games.
I didn't know I had a back log till this video
I don't keep a written backlog, but I guess just the games I own on my shelf is my backlog. My way of crossing a game off my list though is just playing it enough to where I am not enjoying it anymore. If I play a game for 15 minutes and really know I do not like it, then it's off the list. I then decide if it has another reason to stay in my collection at all (sentiment, history, etc), otherwise it goes in the trade bin. I can clear games pretty fast using that method, and if I like the games, I make a mental note of the game and what I liked about it.
Thanks for the tips! Love your videos too!
Your channel ended up on my feed a couple weeks ago and I am so happy that it did your videos are really entertaining and thoughtful keep up the good work sir Any tips if you're mid log keeps growing? I have played through so many games to 95% completion and then I just lose interest I don't know what the deal is but it happens a lot, I have been sitting at the entrance of hyrule castle in twilight princess for almost 2 years now I really enjoyed it but for whatever reason I just didn't care. And that's just an example there are far more
Well, in some cases I think it's helpful to determine that playing 95% of a game might be enough for you. Nothing wrong with the game being done when you've had your fill of it. It's not homework. It's entertainment :)
The only advise I have on this topic is to remind yourself of the media you currently have and have not used prior to buying more media and especially prior to buying another format. I wish I could follow my own advise.
Let me tell your sense of humor got me back to subscribe. I just have to have retro bird cause his a nerd just like me =)
That's how we do it!
it would be nice to only buy games you plan on playing soon, but there are many games I am curious about and sometimes the market in them spikes and its hard to get certain games for a reasonable price if you don't take the opportunity when you find a great deal. RPGs are usually the suspects.
I love my backlog & it's mostly on my Nintendo switch, it means I have lots to look forward to. I just play my favorites & most interested 1st & if I need something different for a while between my smash hit favorites i pull out one the ones I am most interested in. I know i will get to them all eventually. I currently have 150 switch games & they are only ones I will actually play. My interests in games is vast but I don't like everything out there. I am usually playing 3 games at a time that I switch to when I need something different.
Nearly every game I've ever sold, I ended up regretting at some point.
What will often happen is you forget whatever that money went towards at the time. But you DO remember that game :)
I identify one game and play just that until I beat it, well at least spend most of my gaming time on it (hard not to pop Street Fighter in for a few rounds). This is the only way I get through RPGs on my current family-oriented schedule. Couple this with a policy of not buying a new game until I have beaten one I already own, and we have a recipe for keeping the dreaded backlog short.
Hey Retro Bird, what make and model CRT are you using in your videos? I like the way you light the controllers to the side btw. Nice touch.
It's a 27" Sony Trinitron Wega.
@@RetroBirdGaming nice. I have a Sony KV-27FV300 that has a bit of convergence issues in the upper left corner and I don’t have enough nerve to open her up and fool with the magnets.
What a fun video! I don't really consider myself to have a "backlog" at all! Of course I would love to play nearly every game! haha.
Really it's just about being able to play what I want, when I want. (I'm big into ever drives and old computer hardware). Just because I beat Little Nemo, doesn't mean I won't want to play it again when the mood strikes. I never feel stressed about my games. I always look at it as enjoyment and fun times. Sure I might get a little burned out on a game from time to time, and be so close to the end I have to "push through it" a bit, but I'm always happy I did. I was playing one of Westwood Studio's earliest RTS games earlier tonight... I might not go back and finish it, and that's ok. I got that taste of gameplay, and experience of the game. I don't have to play the whole thing to feel fulfilled.
I upgraded my internal and external hdd for my ps4 to the largest supported. Both are maxed out. Crap.
My method is: I make a list of 10 games at a time. I beat all 10, I reward myself with 1 new game (brand new or new to me). If I come across a game I don’t like, as long as I’ve given it an honest try (at least one hour for older games) (3 hours for modern games) and it doesn’t grab me, I cross it off my list and sell it. I can usually make it through about 8 or 9 older games every couple weeks. One rule I also keep to is that one of the 10 has to be a longer game, RPG or open world. That way I don’t get stuck with a bunch of RPGS or open world games all at once.
My problem is I keep picking up games and I keep adding to the backlog... Now that you mentioned midlog that list is even longer than the backlog there's so many times I start up a game and then get distracted and get another game then start it up and the second repeats I need help :)
I use backloggery as my source to start put my library that I havent finished
So weird that I’ve been watching a ton of game backlog videos and then bam the bird drops one on that focus!
Anyways that damned backlog. Last year I managed to beat a lot of games, some from the log, some new and some were random. And by that I mean Elmo’s Number Journey for N64. But for real, I definitely have been trying to fit lots of different goals for beating games into how I play and I want to try to run through some of the titles on the shorter side in only a few sessions (Sonic 2 100%) in addition to playing mid-length 10-15 hour games (Ratchet & Clank 2016) and super long games (Breath of the Wild) to have a few different things to play but not too much at the same time. I definitely have a lot of midlog games to get back to, because it’s so easy to pick up a game once and then leave it for so long and it feels almost worse than having not started it at all. Just gotta keep bangin out these guys until I see that credit screen. Good luck everyone with your lists too !!!
As I see it, the point of a backlog isn't to commit to a checklist, but rather to ensure you don't run out of games to play once you're eager for something new.
Remember: Every house looks different on the inside. You never know what you're missing out on until you've actually seen it.
Just as an example, if you've never played Mario Kart, you'll never know what a blue shell is.
I've ran through games just to get through them and it's way worst then playing a game to fully immerse yourself in and enjoy. I haven't trimmed my collection, but I've cut back buying and mainly just trying to have a few games to really enjoy and explore at a time. Right now I got to the last few levels on Forsaken remastered and really felt like I enjoyed digging into it and didn't feel pressure to rush though it. The last levels are hard and are why that's on hold while I switch to golden eye, enclave and blast core. I want to keep these the only games I play and not introduce more games till I really am done with them.
I have a different meaning for backlog: it's the list of games I played to completion. Having a "backlog" of games to play is, like you said, like a list of chores to do that you won't enjoy. I do have lists of the best games for each console, but they're just lists, they work as suggestions of what to play rather than mandatory games I'll have to play.
I choose to think of it as a frontlog.
And yes, it's massive
When I get bored I cut into my backlog that's the best way for me to handle it I seem to be doing pretty good
My dude!!
MY dude! Haha
i would love to have a premade list and just cross the one i played, are too many! :P
Ive been adding a bunch of games ive never played before to my collection, but i havent built a cabinet for my crt yet, so most of my games are backlogged right now.
Where can I find the extented version of the music at the end? My 2 year old baby always jumps out of joy with that song!!
Haha good to hear! The song itself without lyrics is called "wild pogo" and is part of the UA-cam free library. You can find with a regular UA-cam search as well.
@@RetroBirdGaming thank you! With lyrics is even better though!
my backlog is very small since I don't have many games, my midlog is huge tho with games that I stop early for another game that'll possibly join the midlog too
The midlog can be the true monster compared to the backlog.
