The (game) backloggery

[Cless]

Anyone else use this site? I saw it a while back, wasn't sure if I actually wanted to sign up. But eh, I guess it's the easiest thing out there for keeping track of my crazy, backlogged-to-hell collection, so I ended up caving. Added it to my sig, as you can see.

I've added pretty much everything I still have, and a handful of games I no longer own. Won't be adding titles I sold but never played.

Might as well join bandwagon, though I'll add more stuff to my list if I remember them.

I probably ought to post more often to make it really worthwhile, heh.

I caved in too.  Still a work in progress, though (and I get the feeling I probably need to tone down my comments there).  I mean, just look at my game collection!

Oh yeah, don't expect Tatsunoko Vs Capcom to leave my Now Playing for some time now (yes, I am that addicted to it and the only way that will go from completed to mastered is if I actually win a tournament or something...and that would be an undetermined factor).

Had it for a bit, but just used it for my own reference. It is indeed handy. I haven't added everything I have onto it, and some games I'd feel embarrassed to put on it. I may or may not add everything I have; it's just mostly to focus on what I haven't finished yet.

As for what I am playing, felt summer was a good time to go back to the Shenmue games since I always wanted to get back into and finish it. I love the obsessive amount of detail that both games put in to trying to create a believable world.

Though, a friend went on vacation and let me borrow his 360 so it doesn't go to waste, so Shenmue is on hold while I get the most out of it. He brought over his 360 one day and let me play through Mirror's Edge, but I played through again. Great game but not worth $60. Beat Lost Planet a few days ago, frustrating at times but a great experience. Now I'm gonna start Bioshock to see what all the fuss is about.

I added you, Cless.  Thanks for the awesome find!!

How do you add it to your sig?

[Cless]

On the options page, there's some code you can paste.

Thanks!   I just wanted to show off :p

It seems the board system likes appending the dimensions of the image when changing your signature. This means if your Now Playing list changes from the original number, the dimensions of the signature will not change, resulting in either a stretched or constrained image. I just noticed this when I took a game off my Now Playing and my sig got stretched.

If Cless can look into this, then that's that. If you're going to be changing your list and care about it not being distorted, solution for now is to go into your profile settings and remove the dimensions then save the changes (or recopy-and-paste). Although when doing this, the system will re-append the dimensions so you will have to do this each time it's changed.

I was getting pretty sick of huge images stretching out the page view, so I ended up setting a width cap for images. It seems a side effect of this is to insert image dimension data, even when they don't exceed the cap. I guess I'll disable it for now, but if people start posting  super wide images again, it goes back on.
