The Backlog: Final Collision Fantasy with Friends edition

Our Backlog is full of Awesome Sauce this week. Don’t believe me? Good. You shouldn’t.

But click the link anyway, please. We know when you don’t!

The Backlog: Raw Power edition

Iggy approves of the gratuitous display of raw power.

We are bringing the thunder this week; the appropriate background soundtrack for the Backlog this week can be found right here. Aaron is blowing stuff up in a variety of games; Doug is breaking free from the shackles of the standard Xbox 360 hardware; and Nick is breaking hearts and tiles with another great Scrabble lookalike.

So kick back, put on some real proper ass-kicking music, and prepare to have your mind BLOWN AWAY!

The Backlog: Sandbox of Chaos edition

I kinda got carried away with Photoshop this week. You see, Rico Rodriguez, the protagonist from the Just Cause games, is chaotically belly-flopping into a child’s sandbox, which serves a visual metaphor for the open-world adventures he stars in. Hence the headline.

With that out of the way, I can tell you this edition of our beloved (by some — maybe our mothers) Backlog pertains to Nick’s first aural experiencing of Axis: Bold as Love, Doug’s dusting off of the old Xbox after his adventures in Asia and my unbelieving satisfaction from playing a ton of Just Cause 2.

The Backlog: The Return of The Doug edition

All things must end eventually, but the saga continues. Doug just touched down in Portland after a whirlwind tour of Asia over the last month. Aaron, on the other hand, broke down and purchased a new Xbox to replace his very dead one. And I’ve finally decided to pull the plug on a game I’d been looking forward to for years — a game that left me frustrated, confused, and bored out of my mind.

These are bittersweet times for the Silicon Sasquatch crew. Now hit that jump link so I can get back to weeping into my beer while I continue this Gilmore Girls marathon. It’s all I have left.

The Backlog: Life During Boretime edition

There’s not much to say this week. Doug and Aaron are both on trips of varying intensity and length, and I’m once again at the helm. But I’m not jealous! There’s a quiet dignity to be found in staying at home, you know. And it saves money. Really, it’s the only reasonable way to live in these uncertain times.

Yep.

I mean, what kind of person would really want to go on a whirlwind tour of Asia for a whole month? Doug. Doug’s the guy. And, wow, big deal — the first weekend with amazing weather in the Pacific Northwest. “Hey everybody, we need to go party at the coast now!” That’s definitely what Aaron said when he left to go party at the coast with his totally awesome and probably quite attractive friends.

But no. I’m fine. I’m fine! Just, you know, read this thing and leave me to my unbridled joy.
