On gaming site Kotaku, I was reading an older article about one staffer's backlog of video games that he hasn't put any time into. He had a pretty large stack of games released in 2010. He seemed a bit embarrassed by it, but he really has nothing to be ashamed of. I, on the other hand, have a lot to be embarrassed about because I have a massive backlog of games, not necessarily from this year, but from years upon years ago.
What often happens is that a game comes out that I really want to play, so I buy it and play it for the first few days or so and then get sidetracked or something and never go back to it. Also, sometimes something comes out that I start playing and really love, so then I devote all my time to that game until I beat it, but never go back to what I was playing before. The game that has done that for me lately is Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Wii. It is an incredibly fun sequel to the 2007 SMG, and I have played it pretty consistently aside from the last few weeks. I have 96 stars, so I will probably try and finish the game this weekend. What will I play next?
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift is coming out on Tuesday! It's a great-looking 2D fighting game for PS3 and X360.
To make this post even longer, here's a short list of games that I really want to play through to completion but haven't even touched. Some I have played a bit, but not enough to say that I've seen much of what the games have to offer... Most will be from my massive PS2 collection.
1. Batman: Arkham Asylum (X360) 2. Super Paper Mario (Wii) - I was actually playing this game for a particularly long time, but I stopped because of a family emergency that happened that day, and I feel weird about going back to it.... :( 3. Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (PS2) - I'm pretty backed up on the SMT series in general. I have beaten Persona 3, 3 FES, and 4, but I still have this one, Devil Summoner 1 and 2, Devil Survivor, Strange Journey, and Digital Devil Saga to play! 3. Rogue Galaxy (PS2) - I put this game in for about 20 minutes. The graphics are awesome, but I didn't even try to play it. I just watched the first opening scenes. How sad! 4. Ninja Gaiden II (X360) - I love Ninja Gaiden, but I stopped playing this game because I got stuck on something and never went back to it. It is ridiculously hard in some places, and I really don't have the patience for it. 5. Bioshock (X360)- My brother gave me this game, and I played it for about 45 minutes. I enjoyed it, as it was fun and the graphics were amazing, but I never put it back in after that one time. I want to get back to it because it is a highly-acclaimed game and I feel out of the loop not having played it. 6. Scarface: The world is Yours (PS2) - Scarface is one of my favorite movies, and I really wanted to play through to the end of this one, but I stopped early on because it seemed like a Grand Theft Auto clone, which I'm not too fond of. I let someone borrow it and just got it back about a month ago. He had it for 2 YEARS! 7. Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams (PS2) 8. Dead Rising (X360) - There's a sequel coming out now! I have to play this one!
The games keep coming, and I keep buying 'em. Here are a few that I'd like to pick up and add to the backlog!

Marc Steven Bell, later re-named when he joined legendary punk rock superstars, the Ramones, was born on July 15, 1956. Although not the original drummer, Marky is the only living member of the longest running, at 15 years, Ramones line-up. That line-up included Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, and Marky. Marky joined the band in 1978 when Tommy Ramone left.
Best known for his work with the Ramones, Marky also worked with the likes of Dust, Wayne County and the Backstreet Boys, Richard Hell & The Voidoids and the Misfits.
Let's celebrate his big day with a little tune you might remember from the 1980 Ramones release, End Of The Century.
