Backlog Blues

Tab is off gallivanting, so join Joey and special guest Ron as we discuss backlogs! How did ours start? How have we managed them? Will we ever be free of the endless cycle? No. No, we won’t. But after talking about the news and what we’ve been playing, we walk through some of the most annoying and noteworthy games on our old and storied backlogs. Which of us has yet to play The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess? Is it Joey or Ron who has a bad habit of buying sequels to games that are already on their backlog? Could it be both? Just how many Silent Hill games can you miss before you can stop claiming you “love the series”? And will we be able to recruit Tab to help us finish Left 4 Dead 2? Only time will tell…
