I was talking to my mother on the phone the other day when the question of how old I am came up. It didn’t really occur to me what my age was, I don’t really keep track. In fact I don’t really keep track of any of my friends or family’s ages. I can remember certain birthdays but almost never birth years. I have no idea how old my mother or father are. I know my brother is two years younger than me, my uncle is 3 years younger than my dad and my best friend is one year younger than I am. I have no idea how that translates to an actual age though.

I recently finished Bioshock. I had rented the game from Gamefly wanting to see what all the hype was about. Knowing that I didn’t really want to keep the game I decided to just play through it on “easy” mode. I tend to do that with games I’d like to see or try but don’t have any great interest in. Why suffer through a “super extreme you must be out of you mind to try this difficulty” setting for a game that I don’t intend to keep for very long. It got me thinking though. Why can’t more games name their difficulty settings the way Gears of War did?
