I find its mainly just a matter of choice, I dont hang out with loads of gamers and groups and people I dont know, dont have the time or energy and to be honest, Ive unfortunately found the shit stereotype more frequent than I care for when it comes to playing games, unfortunately. I'm more interested in playing with people I feel comfortable hanging out with, and who I will want to play multiple times with and get to the gaming shit later and not stress about getting seriously autistic the first minute we meet. Its easier of course with a wife who games with you, but I basically have 2 or 3 guys I can hang out with every other week on average who like the stuff I like, but they also like new stuff but 2016 I am only playing stuff I own, know and love. So Im choosing to play the games I really want to play, and learning a couple of wargames Ive got in touch with a couple of other guys who are into that so we will see how it goes. Im not playing anything released in the last few years, and nothing thats not on my approved list. I think its best to be honest, my regular gamer mates are more than happy to wang Troyes, Brass, Tigris, Twilight Struggle and Acquire out, and they've both got groups and other gamer pals for trying their new stuff and other stuff so I dont feel like Im being a dick, just honest. I wont be buying any new games in 2016 other than if I see any Heroscape bargains, or paying for the preorders of Conflict of Heroes big boxes due to arrive this year (and I kickstarted High Frontier).
At least thats the plan

When I used to do reviews regularly, no, I rarely got to play what I wanted, and when I did play what I wanted, I felt guilty because there were games sent for review just sitting...waiting...
I got to the point where I resented those pile of games. It's primarily why I stopped doing reviews.
Nowadays? I play games I really want to play, all the time. Well, there is that damnable time factor, I wish there was more of it. But yeah, even the games the kids like to play now are games that I also like. It's all good.
