The 52

     So, I've decided to resurrect this abandoned blog apparently as I've decided to issue myself a bit of a challenge this year.  Inspired by let's player and Twitch streamer Proton Jon, I've decided to challenge myself to completing 52 games this year off my considerable backlog of 500+ games(link below), many of which I've never played.  Of course, I only decided to blog my adventures after I was already three games in, so I'm going to be playing catch-up first and then I'll post one of these every time I clear a game that's eligible for the 52.

     Now what makes a game eligible?  Simple.  It's a game that I must have done most, if not all, the work to beat in 2018.  That way I can't cheap it out and just be like 'hey, I know I played almost the entirety of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in December of 2017, but I beat the final boss in 2018 so that's one check off the 52'.  Another stipulation is that, while some games will be predetermined picks by me, most of the games I'll be doing will be randomly selected by a feature on backloggery.com called the Fortune Cookie.  That way I won't take easy outs all the time like 'hey, basically the entire NES Mega Man series is 5 hours long tops collectively.  Knock six games right off the 52 there.'  And third, though this may not be true for the entire year, right now I'm limiting it to Wii, WiiU, DS, 3DS, PS4, Steam, PC and Switch.  This one is just due to my setup, those are the only consoles I can conceivably play right now.  All that said, I'll see you next post for the first game I cleared this year, Oddworld New n' Tasty.
