Platforms played: Pretty much everything ever. My apartment is a gaming museum.
Genres (not) played: I haven't played a Japanese RPG since 1994. I've
just recently come around to serious PC strategy games, and they make
me feel like an idiot. Sports games are only marginally more
interesting to me than the real thing, which is to say I'd rather
sleep than play them.
Multiplayer or single-player: I would like to play more multiplayer
games, but I fear cultivating online friends who expect me to show up
on a regular basis. I'm a story guy, anyway.
My favorite Top 10 games ever played:
!)
Super Mario Bros.

Shadow of the Colossus

Half-Life 2

What makes me tick: Cooking a big dinner for good people, making music
out of nothing, getting lost in games and books.
