The Backlog: That’s What She Said edition

Our wondrous Backlog returns this week, and it’s massive; really, a two-for-one sort of deal.

For those out there who read these posts, I bet it’s easy to tell when pre-break introductions do a terrible job of framing our editors’ gaming experiences over the past seven or more days. In case you were wondering, this is one of those bad introductions. I’m not sure where I’m going with the Michael Scott joke and woefully overused phrase in the title, but I promise to make you just as confused as I am.

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.
