-GoG-
King's Bounty & Gothic 3 (gold/complete/whatever) $12 and some change

-Amazon-
8 Games at about $15-20 a piece

and a couple others elsewhere. And I'll probably try to abuse the EA+recyclebank deal one last time before it expires April 9th.

So that's about 30 games for a total of about $300 so far after flips and discounts. Of course, the good thing is that this is after having gone without buying anything major Dec-Feb. But it's like another 2 years worth of gameplay :bomb: added to my backlog. Maybe I should find a girl to breed with and produce some minions to play these things for me. :baby: :baby: :baby:

*sigh* and I still need to pick up several AAA titles this year including: Bioshock 2, FFXIII, Darksiders, Uncharted 2, and Demon's Souls.

I remember back in the day when it was easy to keep up with things. When there were fewer games and I had a lot more time.
 
It seems like "I have a huge backlog" threads are becoming almost as common as "Gamestop sucks" threads.
 
Me, I've just accepted that I have a compulsive need to buy games and that I simply won't get around to playing all of them.

I find that helps. ;)

Hi, my name is watcher0, and I'm addicted to cheap ass game deals. :joystick:
 
I see my earlier post got deleted. Wonderful.

There is no reason this shouldn't be a blog post. Everyone on here has a backlog of some sort.

Hello, my name is Mospeada 21, may I join your weekly counseling sessions?
 
Out of all backlog, RPG backlog is the most dangerous. You level up for awhile and then you wake up with this long white beard, your house has no roof on it, and all the children in the village are strangers--but look unsettlingly familiar. All the while you're throwing your arm up in the air as the symbolic salute of Maya, shouting "Let's be positive!"
 
[quote name='Spacepest']Someday, I will retire and I WILL play all these games. I swear it![/QUOTE]

Heh, I keep telling myself the same thing. And I will be joining the ranks of the unemployed soon if I don't get hired before this position ends, so I'll likely have a lot more free time to attempt to gain ground. But retirement is 30-40 years away and at this rate I'll have a couple lifetimes worth of gameplay time in my backlog by then. RPGs are powerful little time devourers.

*sighs* And there's several games on the horizon I've had my eye on (Dragon Quest VI, Dragon Quest IX - coming out this summer, Golden Sun DS, Lufia DS, Blue Dragon Plus 2).
