So, just curious, how big/full is your favourites list? How many games do you have in the list and is it bigger or smaller than your 'Games' list? I have 29 games in Favourites and 26 in 'Games'. Yes, I have a small number of games, but it means no backlog :P Anyway, you?

17 favs and 284 under games, don't usually favorite games, mostly games with sepparate online components and such end up under favorites for easier delimitation, like CoD and its multiple exes.

I do use categories as it's easier to find a game when I want to install it. Otherwise, I just use the installed tab.

My favorite list is where I keep the games I'm currently playing. That can range from I have played it this day to this week. If I have a game on there I don't play anymore I remove it from the list. So it's more like a current favorites list

My other games are divided into categories, per publisher if I have a lot of games from one publisher. I have about 142 games and 61 are installed

I actually sorted my lists by genre, with one entry for the games I'm playing now and one for games I beat. So no favorites...

If I have 3 or more games from the same series, than they get their own category

LOL, yeah... All sorts of games I got as parts of bundles that I don't wish to play or games like Ricochet which I got with the HL2 silver edition.

I use favorites to keep track of my installed games since that category is always listed first.

I know, but I didn't find that out until recently. I still use favorites in that way out of habit more than anything now lol.

Favourites: 12

Games: 5

That's including the F2P stuff I have installed. Exclude those it's way, way down ther and exclude games that are non steam games that I added to my Steam list then it's like only five real games and like two are in favourites and three are in games.

I have a way bigger favorites list. Got all my unplayed games in that list. Can't wait til I finish my new PC. 38 unplayed games waiting on me and a few that constantly crashed due to Vista.

I've got around twenty games in my favorites. Half of them I'd call my true favorites, but the other half are games I put there because I figure I'll go back to them again.

Then I have my "Currently Playing" list which has a couple multiplayer games, and obviously what I'm currently playing which is Civ V, Metro 2033, and Morrowind.

I don't know if I ever really looked at the Favorites option. I just use the categories.

Use the snipping tool, it allows to choose what you want to screenshot.

I have 10 categories for my games on Steam to help manage the backlog more then anything:

-Buggy Trash is obvious.

-Collection Only are games I bought just to have and never to beat.

-Finished is games I never intend to play again.

-Finished but replayable is obvious.

-MMO is obvious.

-On Hold is games I've put aside for a variety of reasons, but I plan to finish down the road.

-Scenario Based is multiplayer stuff mostly.

-Trash is obvious.

-Why Do I Own This? Is full of bad games someone gifted me at one time or another.

-Games is the actual backlog that I have left.

So is my OCD showing yet?

I actually like that a lot. I think I'm gonna start doing what you're doing :P.

Right now I have games; favourites (just for quick access at first, but then I realized I'm only playing about 2-3 games during a long stretch and I can just right click the system tray icon); uninstalled (mostly for Mac duplicates/beta icons, and stuff I'm probably not going to play); and a Must Play category for stuff that I feel I have to get on nowish, otherwise I never will. That category includes Galactic Civilizations II, GTA: San Andreas, Hitman Blood Money, The Walking Dead, and World in Conflict.
