You dudes and dudettes have it?

Watch me play a million games and then never beat them.

I don't have it.  What am I looking at, exactly?  Is it a discussion board for whatever games you're currently working on?  My list would be stupidly long.

I'm even worse, I think.
I have a lot of games that I haven't even started!

It's basically a log of your gaming backlog, hence Backloggery. For most gamers, I imagine it's a wall of shame. I only add games in as I play them, but if I were to reach back the past decade, I'd have so much to plug in here that I never beat.

Even with just what I've added, I'm constantly going back and taking games out of my now playing list if I haven't touched them in a few weeks; or, sometimes I keep them there just as a reminder that I was playing them, lol.

I'm working my way through every JRPG ever made in chronological order (sort of).

That amounts to 30 years worth of backlog.

I also have this issue. I've purchased several games that I've not even unwrapped from their store packages yet    Wolfenstein: The Old Blood to name one of them.

Same here.  I got a few games last Christmas that are still in their plastic wrapping.  Though I am about to finish my masters which is a big part of why I haven't played them, I'm also about to have a second kid, so it may be summer 2017 before they get opened. ;-P  By then I might have more games alongside them!

Sigh... the older you get, the lesser games you play, but there's more money that you can to spend on games.

Yeah you kind of end up being a collector more then a gamer as you age...

Facts.. I'm not even really buying games now unless it's for the purpose of collecting.

Occasionally I buy a Street Fighter to play online or a Zelda/ FF game to play through, but time is few and more far between to game these days.

As someone who's likely older than a majority of the posters here now, I can say this is true. The collecting bug hit me mid 30's, haven't stopped since. My Backloggery is rarely ever updated as I keep a notepad of all games I own and catalog them that way. Right now it's Sam Sho or KoF for me till I can break this fighting game bug that has bitten me hard. Might stop after I finish acquiring SNK fighters for SNES, Genesis, GB, PS1, Saturn, and PS2.

My take:
Truth, I have some money set aside for games, though I try and keep a budget on that as to not break the bank. But I find I do play less these days than I did 10,20, even 30 years ago though I own a boatload more retro games now, than I did when those games were the hot new thing.

Filling up my backloggery would take me longer than to beat at least 10 60-hour games.

I kinda wish I had AVGN's drive to jump right in and play all those games. But of course it probably helps him to have a show which gives him the incentive to do just that, and have fun alone the way.

Jorge can't even finish his backloggery, much less beat his games!! ;-)

I don't know what you do...but I'm stuck playing less and paying less!  I had more money to buy stuff as a teenager with a part time job than I have now as an adult with a full time job! X-/

I have one, you're right, it's a wall of shame. And it's not even got my whole collection on it. According to it I'm just shy of beating 100 games. (Though that's a little inflated since I have the separate campaigns of RTSs listed as different titles.) Not bad I guess considering I didn't start gaming until about 10 years ago and I like to take my time. My full backlog dwarfs this probably 3 or 4 times over. Partly from a frenzy of collecting from the first 2 or so years I got into the hobby, but mostly from the handful of bundled sales I pick up (or am given) on Gog and Steam every year. My Gog backlog alone is really about 100 games.
