I love gaming, I always have, but growing up there was no game streaming like Xbox Game Pass or Playstation Plus, so the games I played were either rented from Blockbuster Video or bought from Game Stop. This meant that I played a lot of the same video games over and over again, but also that I missed out on a lot of games. Now between Steam sales, subscription services, free games, etc. I have access to a lot more games I couldn’t play before. While this is great in theory, it also means that my backlog has grown exponentially. Now the biggest problem is having enough free time to play them all.
To combat the lack of free time, I decided to bundle my time playing games and streaming. That is why I stream games like Banjo-Kazooie and Crash Bandicoot. I get to have a recorded playthrough of the game as well as create different kinds of content for my site and social media with it. It’s also nice because while I love single player games, it can be hard to focus on them, streaming helps maintain that focus for me.
I have a large list of games on my backlog. They games that I play aren’t in any particular genre and also don’t make much sense sometimes. Currently I am playing Banjo-Tooie, but also on the list are games like the Final Fantasy VII remake, the Metal Gear Solid series, and a bunch of others. They range from Steam games to Xbox to Playstation. While I have a preference for Xbox for a variety of reasons, a good game is a good game.
While there are tons of games that I want to play, I know the amount of time it would take to finish them all is improbable. It sucks, but that is life. I will keep at it though and will have a blast doing it.
