SNIP

EDIT: WHOA. Just noticed that it's in your profile. Go me. I'm a retard.

I honestly don't know about you, but the lack of a challenge is why I WOULDN'T have played Popcap games as a child. I'm steadily of the opinion that decreasing difficulty is making us, as gamers, soft. Weak. I'm the person who, at the age of five, did a single continue run of Mario Bros on the NES. In all fairness it's all I had. Then I got Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, and even later Wild Guns. I LOVED challenge as a kid. LOVED it.

Then there were the arcades. Ah, man, the arcades. *Flashbacks*

The new generation isn't soft. In fact, we're just hitting our stride

But... There's an abundance of games with literally no consequence for failure, and that's becoming the norm. It's depressing, and made my inner child hang herself.

I'm attending the funeral in a couple of weeks.
