Are you working on a 2022/23 list?

1 year ago

No clue: the video game list, unlike most of the other 1001 Before You Die lists (i.e. Movies, Albums, Books) has only been revised once in 2013, remaining untouched since then. Since 2023 is coming up, maybe a huge revision to fill in the decade of games missing could be released, but I wouldn't bet on it. I'd like that, but it's unlikely.

Though, if ever *I* manage to truly make a 1001 Video Games list of my own, I absolutely would.

1 year ago

I'm hoping you make a new Cyan's 1001, with games of your choice and the books choice. Since youre on Backloggd, why not add Umineko and Pathologic 2?
