(It’s Short-Term Memory Week, a celebration of earlier Multiplayer posts with full-sized updates. Today: remember… January 19th and February 20th?)

My dimmest ideas? OK. That's false modesty. I've gone on-record a couple of times suggesting a video game idea.

I wanted to give you an update during this theme week about what happened to them.

Guess what? They're coming true.

Sort of.

Tiger Woods showed up at "Chelsea Piers" Tuesday to hit some trick shots and hype "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08."

Sure, I talked to him about that game, which has some cool features.
But I also needed a "Resident Evil 4" update, since he said he'd been playing that when I interviewed him two years ago for one of his games.

You can read him talk about the game and his gaming habits at MTVNews.com. (Though maybe I didn't need to tell the world about how his sweaty hands affect his Wii playing? Not sure.)

Anyway, his "RE4" answer, from my article:

"I haven't played 'Resident Evil' in a while, so I finished the game and off to the next challenge." He played on medium difficulty. Not easy mode? "That's not a question."

I highlight this bit because I've been talking to some friends (including Croal) lately about the prospect of playing through games on easy mode. Most won't lower themselves to do it. But we're now out a month from "Halo 3" and I want to re-play the first two games. How to do that quickly? I'm going to play them on easy.

At least I thought I would. But now that I type it, it feels wrong.

Is there ever a right situation for playing on easy?
