My Bookish Year in Stats – 2025 Hi and welcome to FromBelgiumWithBookLove! I really feel that one of the best things about a new year is being able to look back on the previous one, so I just have to check out my bookish stats for 2025. Cos you know I love a good pie chart 🤓 Last year I read 68,309 […]

Beat the Backlog: Frogger Returns Naming a work “_____ Returns” is a statement. Perhaps the property went into dormancy for years or even decades. Maybe the latest entries lost sight of what made its predecessors so compelling. Regardless, the talent working on this installment are confident; they know that this installment will put the franchise back on track! Just look at Donkey Kong Country: after series developer Rare was purchased by industry newcomer Microsoft, Donkey Kong lost the widespread appeal it had for what most wrote off as…

Today, @legendcartboy.bsky.social is diving into the deep, dark depths of Konami’s swamp yet again. #Frogger #BeatTheBacklog

The latest checkmark on my #BeatTheBacklog campaign.

I got New Pokemon Snap back at launch in 2021, and for some reason, it got away from me pretty quickly, even though wildlife photography is one of my novice hobbies.

I'm surprised at just how much content is in this game.

Alright, there's not six months between my #BeatTheBacklog updates.

This time, the StarCraft II Nova Covert Ops DLC pack.

It's a much smaller scale story than the much grander trilogy of the main game, but was still gripping throughout.

Hope this universe is revisited someday.

Been quite awhile since I had to use my #BeatTheBacklog tag, since it's been quite awhile since I last played something in my backlog.

#PokemonX complete. Pokemon League beaten with Delphox, Pidgeot, Lucario, Raichu, Blastoise, and Xerneas.

Then capped Mewtwo for nostalgia.

I finally read Steve Cavanagh's Th1rt3en.

Crime/Courtroom thriller, Absorbing. Fast paced, with lots of "oh my".
Not quite edge of the seat for me, but was still a great read.

Bookish Quarter in Pie Charts 1/2025 Hi and welcome to FromBelgiumWithBookLove!

Still never played any Life Is Strange. Thinking about getting stuck in but there are 5 games now?! Wondering if it's worth it... Maybe I'll just commit to the first one and see what happens #gamersky #beatthebacklog

As if #BeatTheBacklog wasn't going to take long enough. Tonight, my brain was like, "Hey, know what you haven't tried in a few years? A modded survival run of Skyrim!"

Well, my #BeatTheBacklog project isn't going to be just on PC and consoles.

I'm dusting off the old handhelds as well. Never beat this when I got it nearly a decade ago.

My first #BeatTheBacklog game, Black Mesa, is done.

Never played the original Half-Life. I figured if I ever made the time to do so, then the plot of HL2 would make a little more sense.

I was mistaken.

And Xen really overstayed its welcome. I know it was the weak point, but that was overkill.

I'm about halfway done with Black Mesa, the first game in my effort to #BeatTheBacklog.

It's a fantastic game, and I'm looking forward to revisiting Half-Life 2 after about 15ish years.

But when the marines start to strafe, man I can't hit a damn thing.

Not a whole lot of writing done tonight, but I got a much more succinct outline done for my next #FreedomPlanet story, and more progress in Black Mesa as I continue to #BeatTheBacklog.

In an effort to curb spending on non-essentials for the rest of the year and into 2025, I'm aiming to #BeatTheBacklog, going through many of the games that I got for stupidly low prices during Steam sales, but have never made the time for.

First up: Black Mesa, the fan remake of Half-Life 1.
