About AnimeVGLog

This site was primarily created for the purpose of tracking all of my video game/anime progress, as well as keeping an organized list of title recommendations that I want to get around to watching/playing through later. I find it hard to keep up with all the new releases and remember all of the media titles that looked interesting to me, so I developed this system I can keep everything in a backlog and ensure that I will get around to it eventually. This idea was expanded to include several other features, and now it has become a hybrid media tracker site, blogger site, and forum software.

The name AnimeVGLog comes from the fact that I mainly consume anime and video games, but I've made it so you can add virtually anything to the catalog as long as it falls under the vague category of "Book", "Game", "Movie", or "Show". You can also add Custom items that don't even need to fall under one of those 4 categories, but they will be available only to the user that created them. So if you have other hobbies that you want to add to your personal backlog, this is possible. If there's a title you want that's not yet in the catalog, you can request it to be added, or simply add your own custom item for personal use. Titles are only added on an as-needed basis. This site's purpose is NOT to be a comprehensive wiki, however. There are other sites that do that much better than I could. The catalog system on this site allows you to keep track of all the video games/stories in your backlog, easily list out your favorites, and keep an organized log of what you've played/watched/read and when. This isn't meant to be a wiki site that lists every media title out there. The purpose of AnimeVGLog's media catalog is mainly to organize log posts and backlog items, and catalog items are added only according to the needs of the userbase.

The main user page that you arrive at when you log in (/home/), contains some stats about how many media items you've completed, and how many you've added to your backlog. There is also a backlog randomizer script where you can roll a random item from a pre-defined backlog category (or set up your own categories using search terms), and the script will choose a random item from your backlog so you don't have to decide for yourself and you can just pick from a grab bag of interesting looking titles each day or whenever you feel like starting a new title. Adding items to your backlog gives you the option to choose a priority level from A-E, where A is the highest priority and E is the lowest, and this randomizer software will take priority into account and roll the higher priority backlog items more often. If there are certain shows/games/books that you want to go through sooner than others, but still have trouble deciding which to do first, that's where this feature comes in real handy. And of course you can browse your backlog manually using /list/my_backlog/.

For every item in this site's catalog, you can create a published or private blog to organize your comments or post screenshots related to that title. You can also sort through the catalog in order of your log post history (/list/my_log/) and see a visual timeline of your log post history with all of the titles you've made log posts on. Published log posts will appear on the front page of the site and in the archives in blog format.

This site also has a message board system with built in tags that can be used to browse and filter through discussions on any topic. Although this is primarily an AniVG focused community, anyone is free to discuss whatever on the message board. Or you can even use the message board to store some info on a title without having it affect your log post history.

If you have any suggestions, or you find something on the site isn't working like it should, the quickest way to get through to me is to use the contact form.

I've already beaten Helper to Hero with Bonkers. Just now I beat it with Knuckle Joe, Parasol Waddle Dee, and Chilly. The practice I got from the harder versions of these battles in True Arena made this a lot easier.

Mostly everything in the True Arena is easy now with the hammer. I tried Galacta Knight using a no-ability strat from a video, but that seemed way harder, I don't understand the tells for some of his attacks. Instead it's much easier to just tank him with the hammer power.

As soon as I approach the final resource recovery unit in the amusement park, the game switches back to A2 again, right after the part where she kills Pascal.

Episode 17 - The Rain's Rhythm Shoots Down on the World's Roof - I mean, I'm the CREATOR.

The plot has gone back up to maximum intrigue now, like it was around the half-way point through the series. I'm pretty sure it's all non-stop mindfucks from here.
