The difficulty curve in Catherine is pretty amazing. It is always one step ahead, but each victory creates an intense feeling of euphoria I can only describe as "being stabbed in the eyes with heroin needles."
Actually, for me, the most difficult part was not at the end.
But I wasn't really focusing on "learning" how to identify the best way through the game. I wasn't training myself properly. Once I started doing that, the difficulty sharply declined and the last bit became easier than when I was just focusing on getting though the puzzles for the story.
For instance, I played the FIRST LEVEL on "Hard" about 30 times and couldn't beat it before giving up and changing to "Normal" difficulty. I'm pretty sure that if I went back to it now I'd breeze through the fucking thing.
Honestly, I think it really depends on what you want from the game. If you play through the puzzles like they are literally obstacles preventing you from accessing the next bit of story, then you will suffer for it. I admit I was doing this in the middle part of the game because the story was so interesting. It's not because the puzzle elements weren't, but because it was like 4:30 in the morning and I just wanted to view the next batch of cutscenes before bed. But that was just a bad Drez.
Bad Drez!
Once I came to terms with slowing down and playing the right way, I enjoyed the puzzle elements a lot more, and I started to really learn the best way to play.
I mean, maybe there's someplace that does it well that I just haven't tried. Lord knows I try to avoid the region where it's primarily served. And I am definitely not a man who is a fan of understated tastes. I have tried a mushroom-bacon-ham meat pie floated in split pea soup with extra bacon on top, and found it delicious.
But the Tex-Mex I've had has just tasted like really shitty cheese, and that's pretty much it. The rest of the food is super-bland, or just really poorly prepared, versus, say, some of the ridiculous burritos I've gotten at my bar, which are amazing. They even make their own, homemade hot sauce, which is really hot, but with a great, smokey flavor.

making a mixtape was a hilariously convoluted process, you guys don't even know
I had the best mixtape, oh my god
it was like 70s blaxploitation music, like Isaac Hayes and Curtis Mayfield and stuff, edited together with the K-BILLY announcements from Reservoir Dogs (really fizzy-sounding, cause I just taped them straight from the TV). Oh, and some music from Warcraft II, because I liked to play Warcraft II.

hmm someone is selling the HD DVD player add on for xbox
I am kinda tempted
can you even get HD DVDs anymore?
I don't think I would take one for free because I would feel kind of bad throwing it away
no, I don't think so!
but I'd feel smug and cool like those people who own laser disc players and whip them out occasionally to watch their nerd wars movie

i dunno, maybe it's different here. typically it's seasoned well and tastes good. a lot of the restaurants also have both on their menu, so there may not really be the delineation in quality in my mind that y'all seem to have.
or or, y'all are just being butts because "tex" is in the name.
One of those demotivational posters recently was a pencil and a cassette tape with the caption "Your kids will never understand the correlation between these".

They don't really seem to spice anything, because they figure it's just going to be covered in cheese, anyway. And shitty cheese, at that.
Get out

young punk.
Get off my lawn!

It's the highest based on map location though.

tex-mex is just about the only kind of mexican available in most of the US outside the southwest or west coast
at its best, it's kind of heavy and bland
it's generally nowhere near its best though
I am kinda tempted
I KNOW
You should buy it and mod it to play blu rays
can we all just agree that everything that has ever come out of texas has been bad?
can you even get HD DVDs anymore?
I don't think I would take one for free because I would feel kind of bad throwing it away
um hello the next president of these united states will likely come from texas
god save rick perry
AND
the last real american president came from texas
so
no, I don't think so!

my god, the brain rot has infected you
Dwight D. Eisenhower?
except laserdiscs looked better than VHS
HD DVD didn't even look as good as blu-ray because it held like 1/3rd as much
I think Jacob told me that when I said that nothing good had ever come from Kansas, other than Kathleen Sibelius.
*shakes head*
I'm praying for you, son

I think 7 is the one I almost smashed my controller with.
You should send his name and information to those sweet old ladies in the prayer circle too.
He was born in Texas anyway. As was Lyndon Johnson.
And if skippy was refering to GW then he really is brain rotted. That guy was born and raised in New England (connecticut)
it's still the lowest of the mexican foods
you will always have friday night high school football
it sits heaviest in my belly, yes
