This is probably the definition of a first-world problem. Seems like a cool site though.

Would have to many unfinished owned games to remember. Steam, why must you have good sales. It's gotta be at about 100 games to finish, not all on steam either, quite a few on consoles.

Here's mine. Pretty sure it's up-to-date sans some steam games I need to remember that I might or might not own.

I like the idea but I don't want to manually input my nearly 300 games on steam. I'm too lazy to stop being a lazy bum.

The best thing about playing games isn't beating them, it's showing everyone else online that I did

Oh wow, I will definitely be using this site. Thanks for sharing! This is an awesome find.

Hey someone made a program to do all the backloggery stuff automatically

Quote:

Get it here as usual. Run bin/steam2backloggery.exe (linux/OSX users: lua steam2backloggery.lua - requires lfs and luasocket).

Unlike previous versions, windows users do not need Lua for Windows installed to use the .exe version. This is especially good because some Telltale games (including the Sam & Max episodes) will crash if it's installed.

Fixes:
libbl.lua:303 crash fixed

Changes:
"unplayed" status supported
"unplayed" is now the default status
Lua for Windows dependency removed - there is now a stand-alone "steam2backloggery.exe" in the "bin/" directory that should work for any windows user (there's also a categories.exe in there)

Known issues:
Compilations are not supported (it'll skip them with a warning message). Support will arrive when I can be arsed to upgrade the scraper to handle the assbackwards way they display compilations in the game list (or when backloggery gets a proper API, ha ha)
The windows native EXEs are generated with a new tool which is still relatively untested; when reporting problems, make sure to specify whether you're running the .exe or the .lua, so I can distinguish problems with the tool from problems with steam2backloggery itself

AWKWARD ZOMBIE
