I hate the new update. The new badges are cute if you have a big collection and such, but being called a "minion of baklaag" just makes me feel more ashamed for having not finished more than half of my games. I hate how the front page displays only 5 people as opposed to 10 like it used to. And what's the point in having system statistics there when you can easily view them by clicking on "system stats"? I kinda like how they got rid of MotW though. Like Jogurt said, it could promote elitism among the community, and you're free to have your banner the way you want without feeling like you're competing with everyone.

I wish they would bring back that "click on the name of a game you own and see who else owns it" function. It would make it easier to find other people that are playing multiplayer online games and such, rather than waiting for some random message from a friend of a friend that scoped your now playing.

You can get yourself in the :U: leaderboard, if you unnullify a ton of them nothing wrong with a +100 unbeaten score.

BTW Final Fantasy Legend II sounds pretty good, has anyone expressed interest yet?

Nope. I haven't really been advertising it, though, either. It has cleaned up very nicely and I'd sell it to you for $6, my choice of shipping included, or $4, if you want to pay for your own choice of shipping. Any other games in there that interest you?

Oh, I have! I asked about that game with that Genraka dude who was MotW last week, and he said it was pretty good.

EDIT: Been touching up the wishlist, which hasn't been updated since around December...

There's another Top 10 with me being near the top, btw. http://backloggery.com/systemstats.php?console=64DD

=D

I'm slowly working my way back up to the top of the N64 ladder, though.

And I'd be #1 here, too:http://backloggery.com/systemstats.php?console=PkMini
If only the guy above me woulnd't list all mini disciplines of a mini game collection as individual games.

@ Jogurt: You've got A LOT of PS2 games. Oo
And pdrydia's GBC collection's really nice, too, I gotta admit.

I'd probably fare a lot better in terms of ranking higher if I'd list compilation games separately, but things like the Mega Man X Collection, Taito Legends and such only count as one game to me. And loose copies are also not to be found in my backloggery.

I might want Perfect Dark, are you alright with Wii Shop payment though?

and I don't recall convincing you to play Dragon Warrior Monsters (which is awesome) again, can you refresh my memory?

Also it's too bad you have extra copies of the DW games I do have but not the ones I don't D:

Actually, I'm looking for $$ this time around, to offset the -$$ resulting from the purchasing of so many GB+GBC games.

Actually, I do plan to play it. It's a fairly high priority on my GB/C backlog.

Hmm, as far as I know I've never made a Patapon banner. I remember having an avatar up at one point but it only lasted a few days. Maybe you're thinking of the World of Goo theme I did awhile ago.

Alright I can have my mom get a money order for me once we work something out (except that means exchange rate business :sweat:, oh well). Although I'd probably like to look into more stuff then, like how much is Perfect Dark?

How does $1 sound? Unfortunately, there's no door for the battery, and there's some fading on the label. On the other hand, no one wrote their name on the cart in permanent marker and there's no nasty sticker residue anywhere. I'll double check the dark tomorrow to make sure the battery still works.

I guess I'd like Perfect Dark, Final Fantasy Legend II, Go Go Tank, and if you are still selling Mario Vs DK and willing to separate them, one of those as well.

I like the badges and I hope they can do some more clever ones. I love the Master of Unlocking. I was wondering if people were getting angry with the minion of backlog. I read on the FAQ that if you complete your backloggery you must request a special badge from the site admin. I like seeing avatars on the main page but miss the MOTW. People had some clever banners on there.

Anyway I am gonna try to get myself in the top 10 of Virtual Console statistics, but I still have a ways to go.

Does anyone think a first run through Ghouls and Ghosts is classed as a beat? I'm on the final boss on the GBA version but inevitabley I'll be sent back to the beginning to locate the magical braclet of guff or whatever its called.

One of the chores I set for myself to finish after coming home from a hectic two weeks of wedding planning and wedding proper: new Backloggery theme. It's up now!

I decided to throw together a new Backloggery theme. I had a yearning to revisit my favourite game universe, and this is what we get...

I'll still be playing other games in the background (i.e. Street Fighter IV).

Haha, nice theme there, Jogo!
Now if only I could pick my new theme...aw heck, I'll do a Marvel Vs. Theme, might as well stick to the fighting games.

EDIT: I ended up doing a Morrigan theme instead, which is even better!

Nice, simple layout there, Joyo. It's almost as if you're doing an "Ivalice fest". I'd say for your MRA in Final Fantasy Tactics, keep Ramza with light/dark abilities, so you'll have at least every elemental affinity covered.

I hope you love Vagrant Story, it's an alright game and I like the characters, especially Hardin. Though it's considered my sister's favorite game, she loves the Ivalice mythos. I even bought her Japanese version to go along with her American copy of the game.

Also as for myself, my current Backloggery theme is of the World Circuit boxers from Punch-Out!! in a little street brawl. Especially since I have no theme of what games I'm playing now, so I'm keeping this up until I think of one.

Looks like the Backloggery has updated the PSN info tag to display the new, more fully-featured PSN IDs. In addition to the user name and avatar, it now displays your "level" and trophy total, as well as totals for each tier.
