I'm guilty of steam-bloat.
When I see something in a Steam sale, I'm tempted to pick it up based on a vague sense that I'll get into it someday. Then, I end up generally diving back in to Counterstrike or Crusader Kings 2, and whiling away my hours in familiar territory.
Don't get me wrong, there are new games that I end up playing through, becoming very fond of or even temporarily obsessed with, but just as often, I let games languish.
There are apparently 159 games in my list (which is a number that's inflated by a number of issues, such as games having multiple entries, test versions, etc, but is still alarmingly high), and the purpose of this blog is go through them, putting in at least 3 hours a piece. I'll be going down the list in alphabetical order, with the intent of posting one time per week or so. This project can't begin until I return from a week or so of travel.
I will write about any game on my list I've spent under 3 hours with. Each post will begin with the amount of hours spent, date of purchase, and a vague explanation of why I think I bought said game. I'll also discuss how much time I expect to need to get into the groove of the game, how much it actually takes, my impressions, etc.
So, my release schedule looks a bit like this:
1. Seven Days to die. To be published October 3.
2. Ace of Spades - October 17 (once again, travel will push this one back)
