> It made me think. I guess I like being challenged. I think this is a somewhat overlooked aspect of gaming and its relation to one's personality in general. I've found, especially as I've aged, that I much prefer competitive, difficult games. Especially with starcraft, the combination of the skill and focus required seems to relax me in a way - even when it frustrates me, I'm still completely drawn away from every other thing I was focused on / worried about previously. I've now found that if a game isn't genuinely challenging, for the most part I don't enjoy it (and to the point, play very few games at all anymore). Conversely, I have a friend that only enjoys casual games - I think he'd happily complete every game available on God mode, if it were an option.
