Mainly, it must be admitted, because of my self-imposed restrictions on use of vita-chambers. I play for a while, I get killed in a way that I&#8217;m unwilling to just let slide, I find myself also unwilling to replay very much, I stop playing for a while. Sometimes I do so with the attitude that I&#8217;m taking a little break, and will shortly get back into the game with a fresh attitude, but then wind up not getting back to it for a couple of days after all.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m considering modifying my restrictions so I can save more often, but you know something? This isn&#8217;t a race. Even with this year&#8217;s self-imposed schedule, there&#8217;s no reason to rush through things. If I take months to get through this game, and finish a dozen others during that time, that&#8217;s fine. I look forward to that &#8212; not having a self-imposed schedule any more, just playing whatever I feel like, when I feel like it. Not pretending that I have a duty here.<\/p>\n<p>But pretend duties can be enjoyable, or we wouldn&#8217;t have games that give us missions. Anyway, I&#8217;m giving this game until weekend&#8217;s end before I go on to 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, we&#8217;re coming up to the two-week mark, and I&#8217;m still not making much progress in Bioshock.
