I was going to make my first (and very late) post at the end of the year but circumstances are forcing me to make it today. I was originally keeping track of my backlog in a custom text box on my Steam profile but had completed so many games that I was hitting the character limit! Even after getting rid of some of the formatting and shortening some game titles I’m at the limit again. So I’d like to give a final-ish report for 2017 and outline my goals for 2018.

When I joined BLAEO my aim for the year was to get through 10 games per month, 120 in total. I reached that number in August with Sanctum being the lucky game to take the 120 spot. A game I had in my backlog for, I think, three or four years without playing it. Now it is Christmas and I’ve finished off over 190 games! It’s possible I might get to 200 before the end of the year but I’m not going to worry too much about it. Here is my 2017 Backlog list

Looking forward I’m planning on beating some of the longer games in my backlog, aiming for 60 games beaten by the end of 2018. I’m also hoping to get to around 80% for my Won on SteamGifts backlog. I’ll be making an effort to write up a little post at the end of each month and taking part in the community a little more than I have done so far. Updates will include the games I have beaten as well as keeping track of how many new games I have added to my backlog. I don’t want to beat 100 games only to add 200 to the queue!
