Happy Monday! As our viewers get ready for the work day, we thought we’d share some of the things that we’re up to this week:
Augustine
- World of Warcraft. Progressing in Mythic Tomb of Sargeras. 2/9.
- La Mulana.
- Persona 5. New game plus.
David
- Finishing up book one of Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. Working my way through Majora’s Mask 3D and Dragon Quest VIII for 3DS. Fantastic novel and a pair of incredible games.
- Psyched for the upcoming Hearthstone: Knights of the Frozen Throne. Expect a few articles from me this week on the expansion!
- Recent purchases: 4. Splatoon 2, Mighty Gunvolt Burst, I Am Setsuna, Tumbleseed
- Backlog games beaten: 0.
- Net backlog: +4 (Sweet Jesus…)
Jack
- Just finished up Until Dawn. Gonna achievement whore GTA V for a bit.
Kei
- Rewatching Man of Steel in preparation of an article I’m writing, which is not a fun exercise. At all. I can’t wait until I get to Batman V Superman. I hate myself.
PJ
- Diving back into P4 Golden, currently grinding before the third dungeon. Discovered my Hulu account covers the P4 Anime so I’ve been supplementing entertaining scenes with their TV counterpart. Recently bought Patapon Remastered as a palate cleanser after long grind sessions.

Jack is unsure why he’s a contributor to The Punished Backlog, as compared to the rest of the team his qualifications in the gaming department are considerably lacking. But fun passion projects are right up his alley (he has his own podcast too!), and he is excited to bring a unique, albeit sarcastic voice to the site. You can follow him on twitter @JackLinnehan where he mostly tweets about sports, Survivor, and generally lots of jokes.

PJ's played games for the better part of 16 years. His earliest gaming memory involved going to his neighbor's house to play GTA Vice City way too young. His second was being thoroughly unamused at a demo in Target. It was weird and hard. You had to keep swinging on ropes. That game was The Wind Waker, his favorite game of all time.
He speedruns. He writes about speedrunning.
He plays music. He writes about music.
He Tweets. Find it here: @HashtagPManning

Augustine is our resident Blizzard and PC gaming expert. When he’s not playing World of Warcraft, Overwatch, or League of Legends, he’s probably playing some random steam game that looks interesting or is replaying Final Fantasy VIII, the best one, for the 100th time.
