The May 2024 Backlog Burner event is officially over!

Over the course of the month of May, 13 participants moved 105 games out of their backlogs.

There were 7 bingo wins (5 Standard and 2 Golf).
Congratulations to @aphoenix, @CannibalisticApple, @Durinthal, @Eidolon, @kfwyre, @Weldawadyathink, and @Wes!

Also, congratulations to all other participants as well: @Carrow, @J-Chiptunator, @Mendanbar, @Notcoffeetable, @semsevfor, and @Shevanel

Finally, appreciation to those who didn't play any games but still popped in to talk about them with us: @brews_hairy_cats and @Wafik

It has been an absolute blast doing this with everyone. Thank you all for participating.

Use this topic to post your final bingo cards, give recaps of your games, and share any thoughts you have on the event itself.

Reminder: the Backlog Burner will now run on a regular schedule during every May and November. Our next event is only five months away!

Highlights:

We averaged 8.1 games per person and 23.7 games per week

There were 203 comments posted across 5 different topics

Four different games were each played twice: Chop Goblins, Life Is Strange, Okami HD, and Wizard of Legend

We played games that started with every letter of the alphabet except for K and Z

@J-Chiptunator: "I played more games seriously than I did for the past 5 years"

@semsevfor: "I started something Ive been putting off for 14 years"

@aphoenix completed a Bingo Golf win with just 5 games

If you would like an unequivocally definitive guide to Boomer Shooters, then @Shevanel has got you covered

Likewise, @Wes has got you covered should you be in the market for Soulsborne mods

It wasn’t until I compiled the final game list that I realized the game is called (the) Gnorp Apologue instead of Analogue
