Would love to know what people like @Vee and @MagneticBurn 's percentages are for these three lists

It's funny you tag me, I use these kind of lists to find stuff to backlog or rate whenever I realized I played them unless it's been too long to remember if they'd be 2 or 3 stars, lol. I'm sure everyone goes "oh that vee is at it again" whenever I fill their recent friend activity feed with it.

All three lists are hovering around the mid-20-30%s.

@Vee lol well glad to be an accessory to the activity feed carpet bombing this time

I'm at 34/85 on Vol 1, 31/80 on Vol 2, and 6/65 on the Konami guide. Guess I got more shmupping to do
