I just try not to think about it, and buy and play games I feel like playing, regardless of how long ago I got them.

I do set some restrictions though...mostly that I don't replay games (with exceptions), and usually choose to buy games from developers and franchises I like. I don't rule out other games entirely...I just don't make them a priority.

I just play when I want. I don't create a list or anything really. Making a "backlog" just makes gaming a chore. And that's not fun at all

But if you have lots of games that you haven't played yet, it IS a backlog lol, you can rename if you like lol :P 

I THINK I'm free all day on Tuesday so I may crack out a game (... But which one?! I'll flip coins and make a tournament lol) and see how far I get in one sitting, lol.

I play all my games immediately. Whether I beat them immediately or not, I cannot say for sure XD

Just pick a game stick to it from start to finish, most of the time. Switching back and forth doesn't help at all for me. With Fallout 4, The Witcher 3 and FFXV, I may never be done -_-

All three of these games are in my backlog, and for The Witcher 3 I have the Game of the Year edition, so that's a whole bunch of extra content... my mate had just over 300 hour playtime by the time he'd finished the last expansion, dear lord! :o 

Good luck soldier. FFXV is the shortest of the 3 but I'm going through fallout 4 on Survival difficulty and holy christ, I don't think iv'e made a dent in that game in the 100+ hours i've played so far, especially when in survival, you can't fast travel and everything is on foot (until you get to a certain point, then you get an fast travel via "helicopter")

Play one game at a time and complete it.



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.
