The Backloggery

[Martin]

I have one, and I know Telegraph does too. Just wondered if any of our fine membership had one or knows of it?

Mine is in my signature.

For those out of the loop though, it's basically a little on-line profile where you can keep track of where you're up to on any games you have on any platform, as you do the updating. Think of it as a diary - what's left to beat, what you've completed and what you've 100%ed. Personally, my BL is a mess with over 600 games left to beat. Heaven help me.

So if I don't have a ps2 or Xbox is just going to show the hours and number of games I've played on computer?
Can it show Emus to or is that just considered PC? My Xbox elite got the red-ring error so i gave up on it since I' m already banned from live.. My other concern would be I know on steam it records your hours even with the title screen is running. So I have like 1000+ hrs in one game but when u check the real stats on the statistic web page I'm about half the hours really... dang me not closing all windows before running out!

Oh no it doesn't track hours. That's Raptr.
You input all your details yourself. Achievements and game details.

I started after I saw you and Tele and a couple of other users but I haven't the time to log everything I have played, I think it's a great idea, you can talk to people about what games you know they are currently playing and ask about the ones you know they have completed.

[Martin]

Oh definitely! It takes a lot of time to have it completed, much like a hdd music library to have all your track names and album art, for example. But once you do it's almost like social networking. It really is good, and also if you do have it, link us! We should all 'multitap' one another, haha.

*Points at my signature*

Thar it be, for anyone that's curious of my gaming history (that I remember...). Mostly using it to keep up with games I've played through the years and what my impressions of 'em are. I don't care too much about achievements, so I didn't fill that part out in any of my games.

[Mystyrion]

I saw that the other day. I was going to make one but ended up not doing it. Not really sure why I didn't. I think a friend came over or something.

Anyways, I think certain games I'd like to replay before I note that I've beat them.

You can note that you're replaying them as well.

I made one pretty recently, but I don't like how it looks in my signature so I left it out. It's a really cool dealie though. I like the rating system, although it is subject to user input, so I hope everyone's using the honor system.

[Martin]

But of course, no point not when it's your own input. Is your username on here the same as on BL? I'll add you when I have chance.

Yeah, it's the same. I'll keep an eye out for your request (Do you even request or does it work like Following on Tumblr/Twatter?)

[ZantetsukeN]

I only made one the other day, so it only has few games on it, but it is a very handy tool to keep track of what you have to finish. I only use it for that though.

[Taco-Calamitous]

I've inputted all the games that I remember I currently own (or think I currently own.) I haven't really done any reviews or anything beyond saying whether I've beaten them or not because I'm lazy. It's kinda neat, though. That banner thing went well with my magician banner a few months back. Anyhoo...

I have a backloggery, i was introduced to it by V_Translanka. I use it very rarely. I updated last like a month or so ago and thats the last I've used of it. Its pretty nifty for keeping track of your games though

[Joxsjua]

I've also made an account but haven't added any games yet. This may be a dumb question: Do people add Atari and NES games to their library or is the norm to include only 1990s+ consoles? and if I played a game in the arcade and/or emulator would I just refer to it as the original hardware?

[Fluffy]

I was wondering if something like this existed. I may create one at some point.

I've got all my NES games up on there. Not really Atari because that system doesn't work anymore, and also, I don't know where the games went. I had like 20-some games though (some of them doubles.)

Dunno if it's the norm or not, but oh well. Anyhoo...

Everything I read here sounds interesting, I just might make one.

[Mystyrion]

Hmm, for some reason it cant recognize my steam account.
Oh well.

EDIT: Just kidding, fixed it.
I should have all of it updated in a few hours.

[Martin]

Yeah, it's the same. I'll keep an eye out for your request (Do you even request or does it work like Following on Tumblr/Twatter?)

You get a New PM flash but yeah, basically anyone can follow anyone else.
Also do people want to list usernames for me to add? I can edit the OP and then we can all have each other on there

Unless of course, they are original TFF usernames. Somewhat redundant then of course.

[Joxsjua]

another dumb question: What's the difference between completed and beaten? Would I only mark 'completed' for a Final Fantasy game if I did the perfect walk through getting every item and not selling the non-buyables??
This is seriously going to take a while to fill out.. the only real list I have are NES games; I'm not even gonna try w/ Atari for the fact that I can't remember any of those titles except for Pitfall..

[Martin]

^ Basically yes, completed classes as 100%ed a game but plenty of people use that and beaten as the same thing. Personally I separate them though. It can take an awful long time to set up - I mean look at mine
