Do any of the other MHNL regulars play tournaments with regularlity or is the siren lure of the cash games steady income too much?

I play a mix of both. I'm at 5/10 6-max at the moment and try and play in the Party Super Weekdays whenever I can. I have had a good deal of success in tournaments and without a couple big cashes, I'm not so sure I'm still playing poker. I'm moving out of the parents house in January(thank God), and will likely start playing the big stars and party tournaments whenever I get the chance. Its tough spending time and not earning any money(lost AKs to AQo which would have given me 3X average stack with 180 left in super last week, instead I wasted 3.5 hours and got sucked out on for a whopping $0), but the big payouts are well worth it(I've taken 3rd/1st in supers for 11.6k/32.7k). I also think it helps keep things exciting by switching around games a bit. Otherwise, I feel like a robot.

Goals...

My goal since I started playing live poker was to supplement my income with a few extra bucks. Easily accomplished in 9-18 limit and $300 buy in N.L.

However, as my career progresses... What I'm really looking for now is the big pay-day.

I switched to tournies about a month ago and have had some success. Several small cashes and one 1st for $5,000 ($5 buy-in).

I think game selection all has to do with bankroll and goals you want to obtain.

I can't tell from from your tone whether you are joking but... Yes, even in a deep stacked, slow escalating blinds tournament like the WSOP there is a sick amount of luck involved.

Wow, after 3,000 posts you'd think your sarcasm meter would be even slightly tuned in, but it seems like you threw yours out the window.
