[Jogurt the Yogurt]

I've seen a few Backloggery signatures around the forum, so I thought I'd sign up and track my gaming a bit. Who else uses this? I wanna add friends. My user name on the service is KongWen (obv.—look at my sig).

Here is a list of Backloggery users from the forum (compiled by pdRydia—thanks!), sorted by their Backloggery names, with forum names in brackets afterwards if they're different:

Go to MyBackloggery | Options and there will be some code for you to paste into your sig.

EDIT: When I saw your 8 Master Crystals I thought you were one of those guys who claims master status for BS, but then I looked at the list and your accomplishments sound pretty impressive!

[Spore]

Spore. Haven't updated it much upon realizing I have too many games.

Thanks. The games I've mastered are games I've played for a very long time. Also, like Spore I just have too many games to list.

[Shortay]

I've just created my account and listed a few games after seeing this thread, but my name is Shortay.

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

Added you, Undead!
I'm enjoying it quite a bit, too, as someone who likes to keep tabs on my gaming stats and on my collection in list-type form.

[theUndead_feature]

Thanks, Jogurt.

Honestly, I never even thought to keep track of video games before I saw you guys toting those backloggery sigs around. It's great fun!

[Kuribo]

I have backloggery account too...just look at my sig...

[mechanix]

Just started mine, with the name mechanix.

Just use it for stuff you currently own, if that'll make it easier. Then you can gradually add more stuff later.

[Kuribo]

Ok, I've added everyone so far (I think..) Feel free to add me if you haven't already .

Good point, thanks.

[Ocarina]

This sounds like a noob question but:
How do I choose what games I wan't go in the box.

Those are your "now playing" games. It automatically slaps the three most recently updated Now Playing games to put in the signature.

[Flamin Skull]

I've made my account and added games onto it...
my name's FlaminSkull (no space)
I've also listed many of my achievements over the years as well.
will add everyone soon

Thanks, I thought it was random.
Anyone is welcome to add me to their Friends List.

It's kinda hard listing all my master runs without sounding arrogant!

Yeah, I have to admit, I'm a little dubious of them. Maybe you just haven't explained them well enough in the comments to satisfy the highly critical Yogurt clan.

But I guess master runs mean different things to different people. For me to give myself master status on a game, I have to do something outside the regular scope of the game—not just being awesome at it (that's evident with everything I do ), but tackling and completing a specific challenge that pushes the game's internal rules. Single-class challenges, limited equipment/power-up runs, speed runs, etc. (Doing a single-class challenge in FF1 and a max-points max-lives challenge in Mega Man right now.)

That said, most of your master runs far more representative of legitimate game mastery than most people's master runs on that site.

EDIT: I don't mean to come off as being critical of you in particular. You just gave me an excuse to talk about the dynamic of the site in general (and give this thread an interesting turn of discussion).

[Flamin Skull]

Yes exactly, I am already changing the statuses of many games to "completed". but some games can be hard to be defined as "mastered"
in my opinion Mastered should be; in addition to doing something out of the scope.

1. Never die or at least never continue such as P.O.W. and Goonies II. I've been proud of those since I've been in Elementary school...

2. Speed runs (I have several) but what constitutes a speed run if its a long game such as ALTTP? I remember beating it in one sitting when I was a kid going through the entire game getting all items and heart containers and beating Ganon by the end of the day. maybe My perspective on the difficulty level are different because I DID IT BEFORE THE INTERNET EXISTED! nowadays with gamefaqs you can basically beat any game in a single day... its too easy now...

3. I am not sure if I should do this but I graded myself on a curve since I achieved most of those when I was a kid. I was in a Video Game club at my deaf school and I was the best there. that was the only comparision I had back in the day. (I can see youre about 3 or 4 years younger so I'm sure you feel the same Jogurt) so I'm making changes...

4. For sports games such as Madden, If nobody have beaten me at that game in competitions that was hosted at my school, should that be considered "mastered"?(I went 3 years without losing! I would **** people off by running out the clock because everybody played so fasttttt), how about winning the super bowl with the worst team?

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

Actually, your single-day LttP and Mario World completion were among your most impressive master runs. Also, your Mutant League Football master run is hilarious!

I didn't intend to make your change your master statuses. Like I said, different people have different ideas of their mastery of games. I'm probably too strict with my own.

[Flamin Skull]

Yeah I loved to do that over and over again, killing every player on every team, I'd suggest that as a good stress reliever for anybody that have a MD/Genesis...
I am in the process of whittling down my less than impressive master runs so dont worry Jogurt, I am trying to standardize myself with everybody else.


EDIT: I've reduced it to 41 mastered games now, I took the status off games that I am just simply very good at or those that would be too hard to verify such as those days I had nobody watching.
BTW Jogurt, was there a goalie in front of the net for your 100 goal game? length of period?
also is there any games youre skeptical of my master status?

(I'm taking Journalism classes this semester and watching my grammar and punctuation!)

Haha, honestly, I don't remember if there was a goalie in, but I have a feeling there was. It was remarkably easy to score in that game if you knew "the move", so I think I just played long 20 minute periods as the best team against the worst team and tries to crank the score as high as I could. It was a fun self-imposed challenge, anyway.

I like your master runs now. Also, I want Gyromite! Man, I miss that game!

I just designed the most buttocks-kickin' banner image for my backloggery page. It took a little bit of photoshopping, but it fits my theme and I'm happy with it.

(I lurves me some FFT.)
