    As for games get easier? Yes, they are.

    And for the record… I’ve only beaten the original NES Super Mario Bros. game 1 time in my entire life. It definitely has more challenge to it than most modern day games.

    I’m going to bring this up again until it gets fixed! How come the podcast gets a redirect link here when at ExtraLife you give the direct link?

    Please give us the direct link instead of making me go through podtrac!

    Somehow the picture and the title is out of sync. #54 vs. #55 ;-)

    More than likely, that obscene comment was from a spambot.

    But anyways, I <3 Infendo!

    Yeah, spambots post individual comments to blogs that don’t advertise anything all the time.

    Great show, guys!

    And welcome to the show, Kyle! You were great.

    I was one of those guys who voted that games have gotten “harder“, actually. Here is my reasoning behind that:

    Games have certainly gotten longer, and while that in and of itself doesn’t make them harder, it has become routine for game developers to make the first half of most games very easy, so that casual gamers don’t get frustrated right away. It is also like an enticement for all types of gamers to continue with the game and gradually make the gameplay “hardcore”. Like gradually dipping into the cold water instead of just plunging right in.

    If you keep playing the game, and especially if you choose the hardest setting, you will get in the last third of the game a much more complex and harder gameplay than what I imagine you used to have in the old days…

    But that’s just my opinion! It’s been my experience in Halo 2, for instance, that you won’t get to see any of the awesome artificial inteligence programmed into the game unless you play in Legendary mode, which only gets unlocked if you beat the game in regular mode. It took me ten days to beat the regular mode, and nine months to beat the Legendary… the first time.
