Air Transat

It’s Friday, and I’m on holiday!

Okay, so I’m almost on holiday. Almost. I’ve got about four hours of work left to go, but the end is so close I can taste it.

I’m racking up a couple posts for while I’m away from myself and other contributors, and there may be some others scheduled by the rest of the team and our assistant editor. But if the site seems a little quieter than usual, that’ll be why.

With that said… I’m actually heading to Montreal for a couple of weeks to hang out with AJ and (I hope) some of the other Arcadian writers. So who knows what kind of crazy shit we’ll get up to. Probably just drink beer and play video games, but you never know.

Air Transat
It'll be my first long-haul flight in years. Fortunately I prepared for it with a copy of Sid Meier's Pirates! on PSP…

In other news, I just joined the Backloggery and you can hit me up on there by clicking here. It’d be cool to get some other folks on my multitap list! If you’re not familiar with the site, it’s aimed at gamers with loads of unfinished games that they want to complete, and has all kinds of cool stats and tracking stuff to help you see and promote how you’re getting on. There’s also a neat Fortune Cookie which suggests a title from your backlog to play. Registration just reopened after about a year of being closed so check it out…

That’s it for now. Take it easy!

    Hahaha I was totally going to say Holly crap 300+ games!!! Until I scrolled down and saw BC had beat me to it!

    Wow, that's a hell of a backlog!

      The Steam sales skew it pretty badly, but I think I am also pretty bad at finishing games. So the site's perfect for me!

        This years Christmas time Steam sale might just put me in the poor house because of all the games I've put off playing.

          So far I'm doing a solid job of resisting the summer sale. I've only bought DLC so far… albeit everything available for Tropico 3, Defence Grid, BFBC2 and Gratuitous Space Battles. Ahem.

            I'm not faring as well, even with my moving apartments and missing 2 days of the sale I've bought the Bit.Trip games, Amnesia, Lost Planet 2, Medal of Honor, the Beat Hazard DLC, the Serious Sam HD remakes and the three latest Tomb Raider games…and there's still 3 days to go.

            I setup my internet just to be able to check the sale…

            Haha, it's addictive isn't it! I caved and bought Frozen Synapse, Atom Zombie Smasher, STALKER Clear Sky, the Civ 5 DLC and DLC for a few other titles. I forget now. And I've not checked the latest batch of offers… will have to go do so now. :/
