When life is hard you have to change.

Between the daily demands that having a regular job, wife, eight-week-old son, second job reviewing games, and third job previewing games can force on a person, it can be pretty damn hard to actually, you know, play a freakin' game for fun. However, I've been hearing a ridiculous amount of love for Bioshock lately - you know, review scores of 10 almost across the board - so I decided that I am going to sit down and play it.

Naturally, to make that happen, I had to quit my job.

Believe it or not, I purposely gave myself a complete week off between when I leave my old job and start my new one, just so that for the first time in many months I can sit down and play a game just for the hell of it. Not for review, not for preview, just to lose myself in an experience and not worry about conveying my thoughts to the world in a coherent sense (not that I've been excelling at that lately either… ).

So, if you see me online any time between September 10th and September 16th playing Bioshock, you'll know that I am sitting there with a big smile on my face, ignoring my worldly responsibilities for a few precious days.

I sure hope this game is worth it…
