Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 424: 2/14/26: Avowed PS5 Edition
Is there a demo up for Forza Horizon 5? If so, I highly recommend checking it out, it's an amazing game - I'd say I haven't had that much fun in a racer since Burnout Paradise. Good question! I will check. I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it, but tough to spend $40 or more on a less-than-sure-thing. It's...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 423: 2/7/26: Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties Edition
Yeah, those were no protection at all, although some big-leaguers used to wear similar stuff back in the day. And I was also happy the O's got their title so soon after that crushing '79 disappointment. At least they spent some money this off-season. I mean, it's great to have some talent, but if y...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 424: 2/14/26: Avowed PS5 Edition
Got the plat in Katamari, which basically requires all cousins and rolling up all 3 crowns on each stage. I got all presents on top of that, but still missing about 300 items from the collection. Awesome! How would you say it stacks up with the other games? I got my new turntable on Saturday and go...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 423: 2/7/26: Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties Edition
Thinking about baseball and my passion for it since I first knew what it was, I was reminded of an incident that happened when I was still just a little guy. It was the 1979 season and the World Series was between the Baltimore Orioles and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Now, when I was little, I had a har...

Played recently: Ball x Pit Finished: nothing Added to backlog: Ball x Pit I grabbed Ball x Pit as a palate cleanser before my next bigger game, and it did the trick. Very fun time with a great loop. I will say I don't think the brickbreaker gameplay is quite as compelling/addicting as the crazy int...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 422: 1/31/26: Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Edition
I've got a nice early and formative gaming memory. My father and I have always had a very strained relationship, even in the best of times - we're just very different people. But there was one winter in Tennessee where my brother and I were out of school for winter weather - really pretty mild, but...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 422: 1/31/26: Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Edition
That FF1 cross stitch is soooo good. Speaking of foundational gaming memories, that's one for me: Just out of college and living in a strange new town, I played that on NES as my first RPG, drawing maps of some of the dungeons on paper and really getting into this new kind of game. (Up until then I ...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 422: 1/31/26: Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Edition
I find it very interesting to hear about people's personal connections to games that make them so special to them. I had games too that I played through with a friend, and those are definitely some great memories. Basically, I'm here for any of these childhood / early adulthood gaming stories any o...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 422: 1/31/26: Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Edition
I love j's DQ details. That is why he is the Machine and I most assuredly am not! :lol: My favorite is VIII. It's the first one I played and the only one I've played twice. I still remember XI pretty well since I played that not too long ago, and that was great too. I played I and II a long, long ti...

Hey. Things have been busy. Hope all's well. Now my heat is out so that's the next boss fight life has thrown my way :P . Oh no. Wayyyy too cold to have the heat out. Hope y'all have space heaters or a place to escape to. Played recently: nothing Finished: nothing Added to backlog: nothing Haven't ...
