Well said; I think this is always something 'serious' / critical gamers should be doing anyway.

I'm going to challenge myself by playing games not just outside my 'genre comfort zone' but also outside my 'moral comfort zone'. So, to kick things off, the first game I'm going to play is Super Columbine Massacre RPG! I've finally caved into the pressures of feeling irresponsible for not playing it off the back of the on-going Slamdance scandal.

Back within my genre comfort zone, I'm determined to finally complete both Under Defeat and Ikaruga (both on Dreamcast) sometime this year.
