#31 More and more backlog to conquer

And I am so excited to conquer it!

The day went on to be amazing, thanks to all the kind people of Steamgifts. I almost feel guilty for receiving so much today, but hoping that everyone of you will read this, know how grateful I am.

I will be locking myself in to play videogames every waking minute. It never felt so good not to have a life!

Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons

Our amazing website creator Mandrill already congratulated me last night, but did it again along with a complimentary gift. He knows how picky I am about games, but this is actually a great choice. I've heard about this game several times, most notably in a video by Game Maker's Toolkit, a channel I can highly recommend for anyone who's interested in videogames, so... everyone on here?

I am curious to delve in and expand my horizon of nerdom!

The Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth

Keohookalani didn't even know it was my birthday in the first place. He didn't see my post on here, neither did he see my thread on Steamgifts, someone we both know just told him and he spontaneously gave me this game from my wishlist. I can only reason that we're dealing with borderline insanity here, having some experience in mental disorders myself! Keo, you can always talk with me, if you want to!

Jokes aside. I have played about 2 hours already and noticed that my vanilla Binding of Isaac skills haven't forsaken me. Still a bit rusty and some of the basic mechanics have to be learned once more, but I was instantly hooked - does this still count for March's theme?

And I honestly thought Enter The Gungeon might have spoiled me in the rogue-like genre, but Binding Of Isaac is still as good as I remembered it, if not better!

System Shock: Enhanced Edition

Did you think that was already way too much to handle for one day? Me too, but it didn't stop there. I am the happiest I've ever been today, said the guy with depression.

This one is special, because it had a tiny detail that I love when receiving a gift. Quisty remembered a comment I wrote in the Steamgifts' forum when System Shock: Enhanced Edition was in a bundle. I said I'd want to get it, but I'm not buying the whole bundle for one game. She remembered that bit, which I even almost forgot.

And just recently I've seen this game being speedran in a marathon and thought to myself that I probably should've gotten that damn bundle!

Karma is real, guys.

Superhot

Oh, how long I've been trying to win this game. I had so many opportunities with entries ranging from 16 to 1000 entries, but I have never seen the spacecat grace my screen, instead it was the Steam gift notification!

Paxnit who is not in this group, but who I know from Steamgifts gave it to me and I he really shouldn't have. He's the one adding giveaways to my thread and now this.

I hope I don't seem like bragging, but I want to share the genuine happiness I experienced today. Superhot is well-known at this point, so the title would have been enough to go nuff said accompanied by a micdrop.gif

I am going to close the blinds, board up the windows and play videogames all day long. At this point I don't even care about the summer sale anymore.

Life's good.

These ‘generous’ people are shamelessly trying to hamper your backlog progress, how rude. :D

I know, but joke’s on them - I gonna beat all the games in no time and then my stats on the profile will be even better.

I didn’t even know it was your birthday. :O I think I read something about it being this month in the admin lounge? But I wasn’t aware of the day. Well, happy late birthday! I’m not as awesome as those people, so I don’t have any gifts.

Don’t sweat it, man! People think gifts are obligatory or something, but it doesn’t make you less awesome and me less thankful if you just congratulate. So thank you, revil! :)
