The pretty awesome backlog template you see at 33:28 was made by orbalology:

A funny detail we didn't bring up in the video is how so many of those backlogs people keep seem to contain more or less the same games. You know, story focused massive romps from the last 10 years or so. The Witcher 3, Portal, God of War, Spider-Man, Last of Us, you get the gist. Like, yeah, maybe you have to make some time to get through Persona 5, but god, I don't know dude... Maybe you just don't like Persona? Maybe you don't have to give it the time of day? I am still waiting for them to make the superior Shin Megami Tensei Fursona, but that's just a distant dream. I cry about it at night. If you see this, write a comment that includes the word "fursona" somewhere within it.
