BOSS RUSH GAMESCAST EPISODE 8: Why Your Gaming Backlog Feels Like Work

This week on the Gamescast

Why does your game backlog feel overwhelming instead of fun?

In this episode of the Boss Rush Gamescast, hosts Patrick Klein and Stoy Jovic break down backlog stress, video game journaling, planning tools like HowLongToBeat and Backloggd, and whether it’s okay to not finish a game.

They also introduce the idea of the “frontlog” and share their 2026 backlog goals, from tackling legacy classics like NieR: Automata and Outer Wilds to committing to long-running RPG series and retro games.

This and more on the Boss Rush Gamescast. Get this episode early on Patreon.
