Horay! After my birthday, I plan to use this opportunity to advertise for our forum.

[Afrancio]

It would be cool if Backloggery had a way to indicate if a person is part of a forum.

By the way I read the rules for becoming a MOTW. I assumed you had to have a number of Master Runs, but it looks like they don't factor in. Thats cool because I have zero master runs

Yeah, they prefer no master runs or very few good master runs to a whole bunch of fake BS master runs. I don't blame them.

[Yasume]

Yea, Hansolo's Master Runs are good examples. No offense.

[Iggy]

Yea i was looking around and i saw someone that had 150 plus master runs which is crazy

I only have 13... Anyway the problem is no that there isn't a real guideline as to what a master run is, because what I consider as mastered others might not. Most of my mastered games are really just games I've beaten like ten times.

[lordbowser]

I find it hard to come up with good master runs. I've been considering taking down the two that I have until I have video proof.

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

They do have basic guidelines.

Mastered is a special status for Completed games, marked by a crystal icon. Master crystals are earned by challenging yourself beyond a game's usual scope. For example, you could pass up health expansions to limit yourself to the least possible health throughout the game, or you could use the weakest equipment. Speed runs are also a great idea. Be creative and push your skills to the limit!

1. The game has to be Completed, not just Beat.
2. Something has to be done beyond the normal scope of the game. Just being really good at the game doesn't count. That means you've completed the game and got good at it.

The most common master runs are speed runs (fast times), low-levels runs (especially in RPGs), and handicap runs of other kinds (where you can't use certain things, can't do certain things, can only use certain characters/classes, etc.). No-death runs are fairly common, but in some games they may even be too easy to constitute mastery on their own.

Some games are tempting to mark as mastered just because they're so damn hard or there's so much to do, but really those games are just games that have harsh Completion requirements.

Well if that's what they're suppose to be I'll modify my list.

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

Well, that's what the site intends them to be. But don't let the site boss you around. As I've always said, the site really exists as a tool for the user, and what's important is the value the user finds in the tool. If you find value in using the site a certain way, who am I or even the site admins to "correct" you? For example, a lot of people would complain that I list non-game carts like the CycloDS or the Sega CD RAM cart, but as a tool, the site helps me organize my game collection shelf space, so that's how I choose to use it.

It's not the amount that I was talking about. I'm referring to the ones with "I can't lose", "I'm good at this game" or "No one can score on me". Your Super Metroid & Super Mario Bros. runs are pretty impressive, though.

Those games are no longer on my list.

[Yasume]

Yeah, it sure looks a lot better now.

[SAB]

Just whipped up a brand new banner/theme! My new banner is 100% all original artwork

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

Nice work SAB! Very cool. I should do the same sometime. Maybe my non-fest banner will be original.

[marktheshark]

For the banner in your backlog, can you insert them from the pictures folders that's in your computer, or do you have to use an image hosting site?

[Tijuana]

for marktheshark: you must use an image hoster, and tnx for the add

mine is: Tijuana

I already have you jogurt

[Mr. Cheez]

I've had my Backloggery for a while now, though I still have barely anything in it. I don't even have a banner or an avatar. I would've put a link to it in my sig, but couldn't fit it cuz of the Brawler Card. I think I'll replace it though. That thing never worked right anyway. F**king Kadeem.

My name is CheezMan, for those who want to know.

[Tijuana]

i'll add you cheez

[Stratos]

I actually just signed up for this because I was curious about what everyone else had in their sig. Its a pretty neat site. The only thing I wish was different was a unified game data base instead of just manually adding titles. Call me lazy but I get tired of copying the titles character for character.

It would be annoying if the game titles in the database weren't spelled / formatted the way you wanted them.

Try looking through the master runs listed for any game you can think of. You'll find a whole bunch of crap and a few legitimate runs. Good way to found out what is a popular run.

[King Elemento]

Added CheezMan and Tijuana.

[lordbowser]

I think I've added just about everyone here.

Yeah, I sometimes get pretty frustrated looking for good master run ideas that way, precisely because there is so much crap... I think a lot of it is people who sign up for a Backloggery account, slam down a bunch of :M: and then never use the account again...

BTW, welcome to the forum, JellySoup!

PS: My reign of Backloggin' MotW terror officially ended today. Thanks to everyone here for VC-F-advertisin' congratulations.

[Tijuana]

*Added Lord Bowser
Already have Jellysoup

[Shadesofgray]

I just joined the site more or less for the same reason as Strafos. Pretty Impressive site. Hate having to type in game titles. Oh well, now the world can see just how crappy my game collection is. Two quick n00b questions.
One, how do you change your avatar? I feel like an idiot cause i can't figure out how. Two, how do you put the list in your sig?

[Afrancio]

I'll add you Tijuana

Go to "My Backloggery | Options" and all will be revealed.

Make sure the avatar you want to use is hosted online somewhere.
