This poll is now closed.
I've finally stopped slacking and catalogued my entire backlog, so now comes the step of making a genuine effort to play through (some of) it, and what better way to pick things to play than to generate a random list of 10 and let Internet strangers do the deciding for me? I don't know what to expect from some of these, or even where some of them came from, but I've committed to at least trying things and making a definite decision on whether or not to finish them instead of indefinitely saying "I'll get to that someday." I figure I'll take the top three or so results from this poll and queue them up as the next things I play.

There's a good chance I'm just going to play A Short Hike first regardless of the outcome, since it's so short and I know it's one that I definitely want to play through, just in case that affects how you vote.

A Short Hike is fun and cute and true to it's title rather short. Could knock it out in a few hours.

Broken Sword is an amazing, but somewhat hidden gem.

What version do you have?

Director's Cut, on GOG. It's one I believe I got for free from one of their many giveaways, which describes a pretty sizable chunk of my backlog (including like 250+ games from Epic).

Oooh, Broken Sword. Great game.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 would be my second choice.

I know literally nothing about Broken Sword (like I had to go check the store page to see what kind of game it even is), so I'm kind of surprised to see it getting attention. Hooray for claiming every free game I get notified of, I guess.

One more bump before I close the poll and you forever lose your chance to influence the next few games I play.

Is it IP locked? I could always mass-spam it with multiple accounts if it isn't.

No idea. You possibly could, but then you'd carry that guilt for the rest of your life, so that might not be the best idea.

I haven't played any of those games, but I did play the first 2 kingdom hearts on ps2 so that gets my vote.

You didn't IP lock it.

Who was that mysterious fellow, and why does the air feel so fiendish in his wake?

Poll's closed, looks like it's Broken Sword, then Divinity, then Advance Wars (with A Short Hike slipped in somewhere). Thanks for the input, maybe I'll give some impressions when the next round of voting happens.
