At least I'm in the middle of playing a game from my Log 'o Shame and will finish it soon. Now, if I could only increase the pace at which I finish games vs how fast I buy them.

Now, if I could only increase the pace at which I finish games vs how fast I buy them.

Another gold star for me?), but I cannot bring myself to add a +1 to my backlog because I have been playing the damn game even MORE now that the main quest is finished! 120 hours of my life gone and counting! I just don't get it! Luckily I haven't purchased anything new, so there's that. Still at a -1 for the year.

Review! The people demand a review! With clearly marked spoiler spaces, because it's going to be a little while before the people get around to this game -- the people have a lot on their plate and are also about to upgrade their computer, which will unlock some of the Humble Bundle games the people couldn't play on their old computer, the people hope. @Steerpike: Review!

So I guess that's +1 for me. Technically, the game doesn't END, but the only things I have left to do in it are become a werewolf and get married, neither of which I'm sure are suitable for my Khajiit. I may get married later anyway just to put a "Happily ever after" on it, but it'll be cross-species. I finished the main quest of Skyrim! So I guess that’s +1 for me.

They can give you a ton of humanity. Just tread carefully, they can easily swarm and overwhelm you if not careful. My current weapon of choice is a Great Demon Machete +15 (the kind the Capra Demons wield). It is stupidly huge, heavy, and slow, but so powerful it usually doesn't take more than two swings to put enemies down. It’s huge arc can even hit enemies practically behind you. Plus it stuns enemies easily, making its slow swings a non-issue. If you are still in the area, farm those skeleton babies right outside Nito’s area. They can give you a ton of humanity.

It's like a sickness. Left 4 Dead? Chances are I fell in a hole. MW3 Special Ops? Fell in a hole. I attract them or something. Sometimes they're deep, sometimes they're shallow; sometimes I fall to my death sometimes it's more of a tumble. I can't explain it. @Tanis38: no, no divine weapon, though it would have been nice. I swapped the Dark Knight Sword for a longsword upgraded to Lord's Sword. Does slightly more damage but, grr, again stops upgrading at +5. The skeletons were a huge pain; my strategy was basically to roll forward, slash at Nito, roll away, recover stamina, repeat. I got him on the first try without summoning assistance, but it was close. It’s true, what Ajax says. It’s like a sickness. Left 4 Dead? Chances are I fell in a hole. MW3 Special Ops? Fell in a hole.
