It's backlog week
Doom was doomed
Due to some major technical difficulties, we won’t be able to talk about Doom: The Dark Ages this week. We hope to next week! We’re working on a process to avoid these mid-week changes moving forward.
But, for now, we pivot. The Besties will be picking titles from their backlog this week. We’d love to hear about your backlog experience and read some comments in the show. What is at the top of your to-do list? How deep is your backlog? How do you keep it from overwhelming you?
Play games? I just listen to you guys talk about playing games and then I play "Steam Store" and work on getting that "library score" up.
Jokes aside I really don't worry about backlog anymore. UFO 50 did kind of a magic trick to my brain where it really made me have fun playing games again in a way I hadn't in a very long time. So I still pick at games but I'm not worrying about checking any of them off of a list. I let myself get sucked into a game (like Blue Prince) but then I'll dip out and play some indie metroidvannia that's been in my library from a humble bundle that I probably bought years ago.
And if I want to make sure that I'm up to date on the latest and greatest in interactive entertainment I pay somebody to do that for me. So thanks for that.
I finally finished death stranding so I can jump into death stranding 2 and know what's going on. Spoiler, I will still have no idea what's going on with death stranding 2, but Griffin is wrong, death stranding is an amazing game
