Poll: The Backloggery

[Sakurazaki1023]

I've noticed in some recent forum topics people mentioning and linking to their personal Backloggery accounts (me included) when asked about their game collections. So, what I want to know is, how many people on the Escapist have an account and actively use it as a way to keep track of their collections and current progress?

For more information about what a Backloggery actually is, check out their homepage.

Here's my account

Ive never Heard of it... If it tracks game time, then i just use steam for that, as most of my games are on steam

I've not heard of it. My PS3 lists if I'm playing a game so my friends can see. Is this a similar thing for PC?

I've got a Word document I update regularly to check my progress through my collection. Works for me.

There is also http://raptr.com/ if we are advertising sites along those lines.

Not so much advertising...

Since the site is fairly unknown, I figured it would be interesting to see who had heard of it and who hasn't.

Not really, it's more like an online record of what games you have in your collection and how you are progressing through them. I mainly use it as an organizational tool so I make sure not to overlook games I still need to finish.

I've never heard of it before now, but I might start soon. It does sound very interesting.

Never heard of it, nor does it exactly sound interesting.

Of course, I am one of those douches that keep all their games organized both by system and alphabetically on nearby shelves, so no real worries.

Funny, I started mine sometime this morning after a friend showed it to me.

Here it is [http://backloggery.com/sniperwolf427].

I haven't added any games really yet, considering that I just started it, but it seems cool enough.

I tried opening an account once, then realized how silly it was.

I mean, its a lot of work for such a silly reason.

...Care to go into anymore detail than "it's silly"?

I mean, for me at least, it has no practical purposes.

I have no use for a list of games that I have completed, and no reason to update becuase of my play style of just playing one game till the end and putting it aside.
