I apologize for lack of videos. Demon's Souls SL1 is still in the works I just got distracted and ended up doing the Chemist Run for FF5. Only 2 runs left.
Anyways, just like with Thief I put together a spreadsheet for a quick-notes style walkthrough and theres a separate tab for what I feel like are the most useful mixes.
Might be useful to you.

In preparation for Thief Only I took the liberty of making myself a spreadsheet of the drops steals and chests that are useful to Thieves. Theres a lot of rare steals that are useful for other classes, but its a lot less useful when you're restricted to only thieves. Should be a more streamlined approach to the game. Maybe its useful to you.

I initially thought I deleted the Monster Hunter Equipment Progression Spreadsheets. I was cleaning up my google drive and found backups. I will make these available now, but there will be no further support. If somethings unfinished its going to stay that way.

I'm going to terminate the public discord, and focus my efforts on the Patreon/Channel Membership exclusive discord. It just makes sense to me to prioritize interacting with people who support Backlog Buster.
You should get a bot invite for the Premium Discord if you have your discord and patreon linked.
If you don't use discord, I will of course continue to make updates available on Patreon. The discord is just a convenient way to interact with everyone in real time.

Thanks for supporting Backlog Buster. I hope to create more patreon exclusive content in the future.
2024-07-30 20:09:11 +0000 UTC View PostHello Esteemed Patrons.
Ive neglected the patreon for too long. I need to make some exclusive content for it.
My plan is to continue the FF5 Job Challenges.
Next is Dancer, followed by Red Mage, then Berserker. I’ve done Berserker on both the SNES and Pixel Remaster.
My plan was to combine them into one video but I think splitting them is a better idea. I’ll keep the Pixel Remaster version public to continue the series, but I will work on a bonus SNES v...
2024-06-26 18:08:10 +0000 UTC View PostI'm sorry for not updating on more Patreon, but I get busy and forget. I appreciate you all very much. You're definitely keeping the channel going. I'm going to try and be better about providing updates.
The FF5 Job Challenges are doing well and I'm going to work on them until alll 22 videos are finished. I know it's a lot of FF5, but once it's finished I can move onto other projects. They should start to come together faster,. The next set of Samurai/Dragoon/Dancer is a forked save so ...
2024-06-09 02:38:06 +0000 UTC View PostNot a whole lot to say. I'm still working off this cold but its definitely on the outs. I managed to finish a bunch of challenge runs, and I've finally started playing Chrono Cross. I'm going to start seriously scripting so when I can record VO again, I can hopefully start finishing and maybe even scheduling some content.
I have some ideas I want to try for new episodes. I'm going to try and update the style. New year new me etc.

I'm going to try and make sure I get at least a weekly update moving forward on the patreon. I know I've said that before but I'm goinng to make an effort to at least talk about what I'm doinn.
I haven't done much work on learning my new video editing workflow, since I'm in no shape to record a Voice Over yet but I have been gathering footage. So far I have 3 challenge runs finished, and one more in progress. I'm realizing its ...
Hey everyone, hope everyones new year is going better than mine so far. I'm sick as a dog.
I'm looking for challenger video ideas moving forward, since I committed to alternating challenge videos between regular episodes. My plan was to open the year with Bloodborne, and I just finished Demon's Souls Miracles Only for the second video. I will likely do a regular episode on FF5, since I can then start periodically inserting the single job challenges I have banked up.

2024-01-02 06:05:18 +0000 UTC View PostI'm thinking about what kind of content to make moving forward. I started a poll on youtube which you can vote on here: https://www.youtube.com/@BacklogBuster/community
Feel free to leave your suggestions here as well. I'm definitely more inclined to take suggestions from Patreon.
As for right now, the next videos in queue will be a Backlog Buster episode on Super Mario RPG: Legend of t...
2023-11-14 17:08:30 +0000 UTC View PostI hoped I could get a Halloween special out but unfortunately I'm just not going to make it. I will bump it to Friday as regularly scheduled programming. This is going to be Until Dawn for the first actual episode of Backlog Buster.
Due to the recent success of the Demon's Souls video I will also likely do a bit of shuffling around. I think doing some more Demons Souls and Dark Souls videos is on the horizon (which I am happy about).
Thanks for your continued support,
No video this week. I'm going to work on improving the graphics, and then I want to schedule videos so I'm not frantically putting it together the day before. Regular content will resume next week. I will try and have a catch up video available on the 31st to compensate.
Sorry, and thanks for understanding

This is here as a backup. It should be available on youtube but if it gets copyright claimed (or struck) Ill have to deal with it. Patreon shouldnt have any problems.
Ill work on getting it on youtube if theres a problem. If there is a problem, use this backup.
After reviewing the footage for Dark Souls Platinum and Sorcery Only I have deemed it unacceptable for use in a video. The quality is just too low. I used the dupe glitch for the Demon's Souls shield only challenge so I wlll be scrapping that one as well. Its just not going to make a good video.
I will push through with Case West Platinum hits, and the Demon's Souls Platinum Hits videos. The quality doesn't seem completely unusable for these (likely because they're on 360 and ps3...
Hello everyone,
I know there was a bit of a content dip last week and I apologize. I hope the recent 2 uploads have made up for it.
I have available footage for the following videos:
Dead Rising 2: Case West Platinum
Demon's Souls Shield Only (PS3)
Demon's Souls Platinum (PS3)
Dark Souls Magic Only
Dark Souls Platinum Hits
I intend to work through these from shortest to longest to help develop a schedule of videos. Unfortunately my OBS settings have been low q...
2023-09-28 03:57:32 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
Backlog Buster Livestreams will be making a return. I think for the time being I'll just be working through the FF5 single job challenges on stream. These will be something consistent I can work through, and theres a lot of playthroughs to do. (And a lot of grinding by extension)
Please tell me what time (and your timezone) you'd prefer for livestreams. I'll try to find the middle ground for as many people as I can.
For the poll. what job do you want to see in...
I'm willing to give streaming another shot on the new channel. I don't know if this will become a consistent affair, but there will be a few streams in the future. These will likely be around 6PM PST. Since Youtube sorts streaming content on a separate now I will leave all of these publicly available.
What kind of content would you want to see for the first one?
Let me know, by answering the poll. If you have any other suggestions feel free to leave them here as well. <...

Sorry the next episode is a little late, I got caught up doing some non-editing tasks like gathering more footage for future videos.
The next video will be a Challenger video on FF7 without attacks (or limit breaks) . This has just been a very lengthy video to script, and edit for some reason. I'm about 23 minutes deep into the edit at the moment and there's still over 40 minutes of Voice Over left to cut down and sync with footage. There might be a couple memes inject...
Hey everyone, Wes here.
Been a little while, but things are starting to fall into place in my life. I’ve moved, I’ve been more active, and it’s all definitely been a positive change for me. Turns out it’s hard to quit something you’ve been doing for 6+ years cold turkey, so I’ve started making videos again.
This patreon used to be for video creation on my old channel Recommended Playing, it is now being rebranded into my new endeavor: Backlog Buster.

I meant to make a video on this subject but I've been extremely busy lately. I just don't have the time to make a separate video, so a text post it is.
Last month was extremely busy. This month is also looking to be very busy as I'll be moving and I'm also going away at the end of April for a weekend. I should be able to maintain a videoupload schedule, but livestreaming is likely off the table. Streams may actually be fully scrapped moving forward, but I'll play it by ear. It's ...
Hello everyone,
Lets talk about the plan moving forward into March and beyond.
One of the main issues that my channel has had is long stretches of no video uploads. This is mostly because it takes a very long time to make lengthy step by step video guides. (See: Dead Rising 3 All Achievements). These long droughts with no videos simply cannot happen anymore.
Im going to work on making a video backlog. These will be drip-fed (likely once per week) to give me time to work on t...
2023-03-01 01:07:16 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
Dead Rising 3 All Achievements has taken a long time, but I can see the end in sight. Thankfully. The Voice Overs have all been recorded and I'm currently cutting them down. After that it's synching up the footage to the voice over, and then I get the daunting task of making all of the graphics in one final pass over.
Moving forward, do you want me to continue posting the pieces or should I just hold it back for the final video with all of the graphics?
I'll h...
