Backlog Attack group page

Between the few empty slots we have had for the last month and the others that I'm sure will appear during the newest round of boots, it is about time we started filling them again.

For those who don't know about the group, the main focus is to beat our massive backlog of games, for whatever system they might be on, and to write up some reviews for them, at least one a month. If you don't think you could keep up with that requirement, our group may not be the best choice for you.

For some fun this time around, any hopeful member gets to write a review for a random game. But not any regular game, but for one that doesn't exist. We will be using The Video Game Name Generator. Pop open that page and click Generate. There you have the title, and you will be attempting to do a suitable mock review for that game. Even if you are unlucky enough to get 'Transvestite Hamster Crisis', as one chat member managed to get. Sorry guys, he refused to review it himself. :P

When you are done, I recommend uploading the text to PasteBin and then linking your review here for group members to view. The better the review, the more likely you will get an invite. All invites will happen in several days, possibly a week or two, so we can trim out the current members first and make more room for fresh blood.

Since it would be unfair to make you all do this without giving it a try myself, here is my review for Helicopter Dodgeball Deathmatch.

Even if you don't have an invite, feel free to come hang in the group chat and keep us company.

I admit I giggled at some of these game names, but I think I topped "Transvestite Hamster Crisis" for just sheer WTF factor with "Sim Nazi Strikes Back".

And then get "M.C. Escher's City Crime Scene Investigation" after that. Now that sounds like an interesting game.

Yeah, consider this a random bump from an existing member who doesn't need an invite.

Haha, I love the Video Game Name Generator xD

Here's my entry Forbidden Underwear Invaders and even if I don't get invited I'm already clearing my Backlog as good as I can ;)

I think some of these random game names would make better games than most games released in the last few years ^^

Haha! That's an awesome title! Some of these games are just crying out to be made :)

I got a couple names from the generator, so if I find time, I'll definitely try to write a review for one of them (or all of them, if I'm really bored). Hell, I need the extra motivation to complete my backlog, since it grew significantly when I came back to college (had to activate more than 50-60 games that I couldn't activate over the summer since my last laptop shorted out).

Some interesting entries I got were "John Romero's Forklift Overload", "Enraged Hamster - The Card Game", "Communist Chess Hell", "British Soldiers vs. Street Fighter" and "Relentless Sandwich DS". The last one takes the cake: "Mary-Kate and Ashley's Dungeon Slam", which I imagine as some kind of crossover with Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden.

Now that sounds like a group for me! (Especially since I've been having trouble deciding what to play FIRST lately. They're all too good...! XD )
Well, except for the review part. I suck at writing reviews. It's like writing an essay- can't think of enough different ways of saying "I liked it.". Don't wanna write an essay every month. O_o

Anyhow, I got "Erotic Gnome Express" on the Game Name Generator. I believe it's self explanatory that this is the Best Game Ever™. The graphics could use some work though and it ends too soon. :D

More than easy enough to understand, and would most certainly be fine within the group if you are accepted.

Still waiting. Despite what they said about needing to get keys to trade for a copy, their inventory has sat on the same number for the week I've been watching. I'm giving them one more day, then I get a red on my win list. :(

I did just get another win though, this being from someone who is certain to deliver. :D

I'm not actually applying, but the event sounded fun. My first roll was...

Morbid Moped Invaders
An excerpt: The intriguingly evocative title screen with the sexy gothicly-themed "invaders" astride a bevy of Vespas and... not-Vespas belies the true nature of the game as a brain aneurysm simulator.

I'm waiting for the other guys to get around to checking up activity for last month, but one is without a PC while the other is back in school. So us lazy mods need to step up.

And that is why nothing is happening.

Adding onto the kicks bit: We were severely disorganized this month, partially because my PC broke down :( It did drag on way too late, even by our (tardy) standards. Sorry. Next month, it should be on schedule (usually a few days after the end of month rush.)

Ya I have a few things I wanted to do in my group that I would tend to either forget or get lazy and not do when I wanted to. I finally got our gaming events back in order. Planning some other things but who knows when I finally get that stuff done.

A task manager is made to deal with those situations. Then, it's an issue of "did I forget to put this in my task manager?" (Disclosure: this happened multiple times.)

Thanks a lot. Looks like we're just waiting on Delta to come back now as he manages the invites; he's been off the entire day. I wonder what happened.

I'll send in my review as soon as possible. Even if everyone in the group hated me, you have to admit I was an active reviewer :p

I can only speak for myself, but I do believe the last chatroom consensus after you were kicked was "no".

Good luck.

I liked you. Unfortunately no one else in the chat did. Which sucks, because you actually did the group obligations, with three reviews while you were in it.

there's a social rule of "don't be a jerk" which he broke in his first week to another user. if it isn't very clear then i'll make sure it's on the group description.

Well I'm pretty good with attacking my backlog, this week I beat five pretty decently long games, feels good. Still I wouldn't mind being pushed to do more game recommendations, so here's my review of Stealth Makeover Gold!

I really need some motivation to clear my backlog. Im thinking of starting at the top and working down haha. Wouldn't mind an invite, just about to start with 39 Steps so I can send you my review of that as an entry if you wish.

I invited everyone who did a faux-review so far, thanks for some laughs :P

We still have a few slots if anyone else is interested, and will be closing recruiting shortly after. Same rules as Delta's original post.
