No Business Naming Things

I worked from home today because we had both a garage door repairman and a chimney cleaner come today. Today was also Lexy’s day off (she gets one off every two weeks). While I hacked away she played Super Mario Sunshine - the reason for what reason I can only guess. The best I can come up with is that she wasn’t beaten enough as a child. This game is SADISTIC. The amount of profanity my ears have experienced today has caused a semi-permanent blush to form on my cheek bones. If ever there was a game that caused Nintendo mouth this is it.

It’s not just that the game is hard. Its punishing. It makes you weep. It gives you heart murmurs. A demoniacally possessed camera turns what should be an easy jump into a suicide dive off into oblivion. You left side goes numb. It conditions you to wet your pants whenever you hear a capella music.

You get the idea. Maybe it’s just that I’m not really that “hardcore” a gamer. I don’t want extreme difficulty - I want to experience a game from beginning to end without getting discouraged. My time is limited and if I have to play the same two minutes of gameplay for sixty minutes I’m going to move onto a different game.
