Console mostly, but some PC.

Somewhat. I of course always try to win when playing multiplayer, but it's not something I obsess over or anything, nor do I attend tournaments.

Where do you get your information about games?
Online, various websites. Wikipedia, GameFAQs, a couple of forums I'm a member of, etc etc.

1. Tactical RPGs.

2. Turn-based RPGs.

3. The Legend of Zelda series.

• Where do you buy your games?
Wherever the most conveniently located store is - usually Target, Best Buy, or Gamestop. Though I do order harder-to-find ones off Amazon.

Same as games.

• Have you ever traded in or purchased a second hand game/console?
Never traded in, but I have bought used games at Gamestop, if that's what you're referring to.
