Introductory Note: Double spacing still seems to be broken in entries for non-grid lists, so I'm using grid for this. Big apologies for making you do more clicks! I just thought it looked really shit. Keep in mind that this is not ranked!

With a few days left in the year, I have apparently played 275 games as of this writing according to my Adventure Log. Which may as well be my actual ranked list, with this being something complimentary to it. It's not exactly foolproof that those are the exact numbers, since unfortunately my memory is not exactly up to par, and there's plenty of times I boot games up for like ten minutes and exit out of them. Those really shouldn't count much anyway.

Suffice to say, I don't play a ton of new games as they come out. It's rather hard to keep up with them and they tend to demand your time quite a bit, which is why I stick to my comfort zone of exploring older libraries and often making use of my CRT setup and modded consoles I spent too much money on. With this list though, I do try to make a bit of an effort to shout out to titles from this year...even if there are only like......two of them worth speaking about.

With this list I'll talk about the games I thought were most best, interesting or even most terrible. I will also look over my reviews and find the ones I personally enjoyed most, as well as the ones that just blew up and heavily made the rounds somehow. When I originally joined Backloggd I kinda just did the boring thing of rating games and not posting reviews, but as I used it I started getting encouraged by certain user's reviews and making more of an effort to get better at my writing, as it was an old pastime of mine to just randomly type story shit into a document. Hopefully I didn't stink up the joint too much!
