A Bird Lands

Hello! I am brand new to this site after having watched a good friend of mine use this site for a while now and I figured “Hey, let me give this a shot.” I have quite a lot of games… after said friend got me into all the bundle sites and Steamgifts and so much more. I kind of wished I knew about those sites beforehand because I got a lot of [what I consider] junk games that I didn’t even want. Though now that everything is said and done… well… I have so many games. Haha.

But enough of that.

I have a lot of games and spend most of my time just… staring at them or playing one game most over everything else when I want to actually go and play [and enjoy] all the other games I have. With this site, I hope to get through my backlog of games and maybe write small reviews for each of the games I complete! Don’t expect me to be an achievement hunter though, I am not that interested in 100% like that, I just want to enjoy the games. I’m not sure if I will have any point/star/etc system in place for those reviews or not. I’ll figure it out when I get there!

I will probably only give updates of the games I’ve completed and such at the end of every month, that way it is nice and compiled.

Now to…go and sort through my games. Oh boy.

❣ WELCOME TO BLAEO ❣

🐦 I’m so sorry lol. I guess at least I offered a way to work through the list after I caused the library explosion! Oops. 🐦

Mr. Magpie

I blame youuuu.

Welcome! Blaeo is very very helpful and a ton of fun. Even if you choose not to do the monthly themes, it’s still extemely motivational to sort out your games and read others reviews. Hope you enjoy it here!

Mr. Magpie

I’m sure I will enjoy it here! I took a gander at the monthly themes since you mentioned it and I am eyeing to maybe do that ABC challenge in particular.

Mr. Magpie

I spent hours even trying to format my actual profile post! But its a lot of fun! I learned more about small html coding at least.

Welcome fellow gamer. Looking though your backlog it’s not large at all.

I am sure you will kill them all off this year no problem ;b

Mr. Magpie

It is large to me! Ahaha, I am not quite used to having so many games. I’m hoping to honestly get 20 or so beaten but..yeah. I tend to focus a long time on one game and stuff [Like ARK!]

Welcome! Best of luck with all of your goals and most importantly have fun. :)

I have a lot of games and spend most of my time just… staring at them or playing one game most over everything else when I want to actually go and play [and enjoy] all the other games I have.

Oh yes, I know how that feels :/
Good luck with your games and welcome to BLAEO! :)

Welcome to bleao!
If you ever need a hand picking some game(s) for you, I’m sure you’ll find help here :D
Also the monthlies are real nice to get sometimes into different things - or get back to something - or give games a different priority or such :)

Have loads of fun!
Happy backlog killing :)

Welcome to BLAEO, Magpie/Jax! This is a great site for organizing your backlog and reading about others’ gaming (while telling others about yours)! Plenty of ways to participate– find what works for you. =)

Hi and welcome! I hope you enjoy BLAEO.

I think if you sort your games out by genre/interest (like you did in your profile, which is nice) that’d be a quick shorthand for you to go ‘oh I feel like BLANK today, let me pick a game from that category to play’.

It’s also totally fine for you to hide/remove games that you’re really not interested in playing - you entered for it just to win a game on steamgifts or it was bundle trash/leftovers or something. Numbers count, but having fun counts even more! Scrolling casually through your ‘never played’ games shows me some real gems you have that you can play, so I’m mad excited for you moving forward!

Welcome. Hopefully this site will help you with your backlog. Although the desire to work on it is a good start :)
Begin with shorter games, or the ones you think you would enjoy more, and don’t force yourself to try to beat every single one, especially the bad ones don’t really deserve your time (not to mention your motivation may drop).
Also, what’s up with the Labyrinth gifs? ;)

Mr. Magpie

Yeah! I am, by no means, an achievement hunter but I want to get through a lot of games - Especialy to to 100% the various Hidden Object and Point and Clickers.

Also, I love The Labyrinth :D Well, more importantly, I love David Bowie but Jareth will always have a place in my heart hehe.

Hello and welcome! Hopefully you’re done with the boring stuff (sorting out the backlog), next phase is to find next games to enjoy I suppose :) Good luck and have fun with your backlog!

Welcome!

I kind of wished I knew about those sites beforehand because I got a lot of [what I consider] junk games that I didn’t even want.

A lot of people here are in the same boat when it comes to having suddenly realized to have a lot of junk on their account.
If you feel like it you can use the automated Steam Support page to remove games from your account, I removed at least 400 that way :p
