Hello to all reading this,
I play games rather slowly because that is just my nature. I have a terrible combination of a fear of the unknown, extremely cautious and a full time job. So, if I don't update my 'Now Playing' for a few days, it is because I am currently grinding and not avoiding my games. That is just not possible.
I have several rules and guidelines that I follow on my Backloggery. It may be rather confusing and cumbersome, but I have made significant progress on my Backlog. I still enjoy my games, but I also limit myself to prevent too much.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy looking at my collection along with my gaming status.

Ranking System
5 = I loved this game and it is the best!
4 = I like the game, but it is not perfect.
3 = I thought the game was okay, but it has some major flaws.
2 = I thought the game was passable, but it had way too many flaws.
1 = I really did not like the game at all.
Buying New Games = Get Fire Badge. Buy Next Game from the lowest
Console. If tie, choose console with largest total Wishlist. Start Over. If I ever get below 50 Total
, I go on a buying spree. If I ever get below 2
for one console, I will go on a buying spree for that console.
Now Playing
I will have 5 games on my Now Playing list. 1 active
&
game, 1
&
in wait, & 1 Monday
. I will play the Monday
while watching the Backloggery Streams on Monday. I will switch between the active
&
games every day and switch them out with the ones in waiting. For those 4 Games, I will have them be all from different systems.
New Year Cookie
On January 1st, I will use the Fortune Cookie on my Wishlist. I will purchase whichever Next Game that is pulled that is of a reasonable price. I will also add one Random
Game and one Random
Game to my Now Playing. I will play them after I finish the ones on my Now Playing and then I will continue my regular playing.
New Birthday Game
On my Birthday, January 23rd, I will purchase my Most Wanted game on my Wishlist.
