Sacred Symbols+, Episode XXIII: Backlog Blues (Patreon)

Backlogs haunt gamers like Abraham Lincoln's ghost haunts the White House. With so many awesome games coming out seemingly week-in and week-out, year-in and year-out, it's virtually impossible to keep up with it all, whether you dedicate all of your time to playing or not. Thing is, every enthusiast seems to have his or her own techniques for dealing with the dreaded retail and digital pile of unplayed wares, and some even claim (perhaps spuriously!) not to have a backlog at all! This week's episode of Plus deals with everything having to do with backlogs: Techniques for keeping them, suggestions for editing, trimming, and pruning them, and even recommendations for learning how to let go of what you'll probably never play... or die trying. (Not literally, of course. After all, these are video games we're talking about.)
