It's January 1st. It's 2:38am here. It's a new year. And that means the 100 Game Kumite is over for another year. How well did I do? How well did any of us do? This will be a retrospective that also includes the last three entire years, since I started doing the Uezielog, which then transformed into the 100 Game…

I think that image is pretty close to what actually happens on Black Friday.

Here we are folks, the Fated Month, November. Let us chat about what we finished last month first though, shall we? I've had some rather unfortunate things happen that have kept me from doing this earlier but whatever, pets pass away, we mourn and then we get antibiotics for the other problems. I try to keep personal…

As we turn from Summer to Fall, gaming marches ever closer to the launch of the newest systems and all the biggest games of the year. Though I find myself thinking that "biggest" really doesn't always equate with "best." But anyway, let's go over what was played in September. Me first!

So it's late and I've got my streaming dealie all set up now. If anyone's bored or maybe they want to see what Wonderful 101 is all about, feel free to come on by!

So here we are, end of another month. And so here we are with another wrap-up of games completed. I'm sadly at a slightly reduced rate this month thanks to the unending heat, which leaves me largely unwanting to do much of anything when I get home from work aside from shower and eat. It's bad news bears all around.…

So, fellow backloggers, what has become of your gaming for the past month? July is over and we are through the middle of the summer. August is now here and we prepare for the oncoming onslaught of multiple console launches and more Nintendo games than you can shake a stick at (don't shake a stick at them, just accept…

You thought this was dead didn't you? Well, it isn't. Not yet. Not when there are games to play! This is the mid year wrap-up! What I'm going to do is give you a list of everything I've finished so far this year and talk a bit about what I'm playing currently (Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time) and what's coming up shortly…

So here it is and here we are. In a little over 12 hours, I will begin the 72 hour gaming marathon. It will be over on my twitch page HERE.

So, most of you probably don't know this, but it was Donkey Kong Country Returns for the Wii that sparked the original Uezielog and my vow to play every physical game release I own. I had purchased the game at full price and then proceeded to play all of one world before shuffling off to my random choices and whatever…

May's pretty much in the bag, folks! Here we are on the verge of June, looking into the summer's releases. But how did you do with what you had? Did you enjoy it? That's really all that matters. But still, let's go over what we've enjoyed eh?

So I finished Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts aaand, I'm pretty sure it's my biggest disappointment of this entire generation. I loved the first two games and I love old Rare, I really do. But that game is just so wonky, so poorly thought out, that I can't imagine the company I loved making it. Which is probably fine…

Another week, another check on how everyone's doing. Going in on those backlogs or just going in on school stuff? Personally I've had little time to play games so I amazingly finished nothing over the last week, but that's what happens when you work outside all day and it suddenly becomes 98 degrees outside in May…

That's just the price I pay for being a day late. The reality is that I was kind of busy yesterday. Aaaaanyway. Let's go over what's been finished over the past week. Seeing as I don't have an actual backlog now, this kind of just becomes a list of stuff I played through recently. But whatever. We keep this up because…

Remember me? From last week? And all those other weeks? Yeah, bad segue. Sort of anyway because it's at least topical for me.

It's over. Again. Again. The backlog I mean. It's finished. Soul Hackers went down in quick fashion for an SMT game (about 20 hours for the main game) and just as a small hint, when you get a choice between two routes in a certain dungeon and you take the right path instead of the left and you beat that boss, it makes…

So, you all saw the news right? That's kind of insane. Earthbound, a LttP sequel that's even using that game's original art style, the Oracle games finally having a release date, a real release date for Pikmin 3, Bravely Default, M&L3, Luigi U, etc, etc, etc, it's kind of crazy. Makes me excited for what they have…

Ah, another week, another triumph. We play our games and the world keeps turning. Hmm. Plays, Played, Will Play. So answer away!

Another week, another triumph, another learning experience. Let's see whatcha got Kotaku! Lay it on me! What sort of games have you completed in the last week? What progress have you made towards your multiplayer goals? Has something got you stumped? We'll see if someone out there can't help you out as you keep trying…
