A game that is particularly well executed, such as Bioshock, can stretch that until 12:30 or 12:45. If a game is well executed and it’s a type of game I’m obsessed with, such as Fire Emblem, I might push that until 1 am or so. [...] [...] An average game will keep me up until around midnight.

I'm also finding <i>Bioshock</i> a little exhausting - the rate of respawning enemies in Fort Frolic is just getting ridiculous. The hacking minigame is also getting tiresome; I'm sure there are various ways to approach the game, but there's no real advantage to not hacking every available camera, turret and vending machine.

Maybe we really are the same person after all. Strangely, I have reached that exact same mental point with the game. Maybe we really are the same person after all.
