Thanks for the question. I do occasionally have a twinge of wanting to play something, like Shadow of Mordor recently, that is not only outside my usual purview but also on a console I don’t own. But for the most part I’m quite content with what I have available. I’m into platformers, action-adventure, some RPGs, the occasional racing game. Nintendo serves me well and I love their IP. My impression of what I’m “missing out on” is realistic violence, heavily multiplayer-focused experiences, and open-ended games. And I don’t miss that at all.

I get to see a lot of the new stuff through podcasts and so on, ABC’s Good Game, people talking on the forum; and a lot of it doesn’t appeal to me. I do currently have a small stack of PS3 games that I’ve yet to get around to, and a modest Steam library of Humble Bundles and Portal 2, which is actually next on my list. So when I do want to branch out I can, but I guess Nintendo stuff just fits my tastes very well.

One thing I will say is that if you, my loyal readers, ever want to challenge me to play something or want to see me write about any particular thing, I will see it done. Provided it’s not The Order 1886 or something.
