Backlog Resolutions

I have an extensive back-catalog of video games. This is, essentially, my video game TODO list (in no particular order).

1) Replay Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. Those were great games, and soon enough I'll be itching for a 3DS to play the next title.
1b) Maybe finish Super Paper Mario sometime.
2) Finish Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess so that I can then feel good about buying Skyward Sword and leaving it in my back catalog for a few years.
3) Finish Ninja Gaiden 2. It's freaking ninjas yo, and apparently there's another one on the way.
4) Finish Dragon Age, play Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. I like good voice acting and stories. Why can't I finished these games?
5) Finish Dynasty Warriors 7. It's so freaking good, finish it already.
6) Finish Bastion. This should really be my first priority before someone spoils everything for me.
7) Finish Metroid Prime 3. No, you don't get to replay 1 and 2, not until you finish 3. Seriously, how are you so bad at finishing these great games?
8) Play Okami. You have it sitting around from Gamefly. If you can't be bothered to play your Gamefly games you might as well cancel your subscription you silly person.
9) Speaking of which, you have a nice long list of games to play in the form of your Gamefly queue. Dear lord, there's like 20 of them.

Can someone add a week to the year? I seriously need 7 days to make a dent in this or something.

Why are you worried that someone will spoil Bastion? Everyone already knows about the alien brainwashing subplot.

One thing I've (easily) figured out about the whole "why people get upset over being spoilered" is, it usually isn't so much that someone gave away something, but that they did so deliberately and were real JERKS about it. That's why people complain about "now you've ruined it for me," because, now every time they look at the game or story, all they can remember is someone being an absolute jackass to them.

I wasn't that upset when someone spoiled an important part of Lunar: Silver Star, because they didn't mean to (they thought I was further ahead than I was, though it was also something I probably should've figured out sooner). Had it been someone being a jerk just to delight in my misery, I probably would've stopped playing, because every time I looked at the game, I would be reminded of how pissed off I was at someone deliberately being a jackass.

You now have some incentive to finish Bastion seeing as DLC came out for it.
