I'm currently writing a blogpost about my five minute chat about Jews with Levine that I just remembered. Though I really should be looking for a new flat. Fun! We’ll talk about that later.

Some people have had at a go at the Irish actually. I think they're being a bit knee-jerky. Atlas is great! KG Get on MSN this evening and we’ll talk.

The Germans? The Irish? (nah, you wouldn't be so parochial as to be obsessed with them) The English? Americans? Heck, games in general are so race and stereotype saturated, I'm having trouble recognising the problem any more... Hmm. The Germans? The Irish?

Mainly because our giant console fingers didn't have the dexerity to hit the button. About the racial stereotype thing - if you're talking about any of the many in-game Jews, you've gotta remember Levine is Jewish (as am I, so the following offensiveness might be forgiven). This game has the highest kosher content of any game going, AFAIK and, like real life, that's both associated with high levels of violence and intelligence. The concentration camp references put the game in a nice historical context, even if the accent they're delivered in is rubbish. As Tom says, we were both stumped on that lift thing.

It worked fine in Shock 1 and 2. It works fine here. KG People are complaining about it without really thinking about it, to be honest. It worked fine in Shock 1 and 2. It works fine here.

It's the sort of unhelpful visual design that we used to have to put up with a hell of a lot more. I like that these days it stands out like a sore thumb. I wish I'd followed his point 1, too, instead of just whining to 2K that fight noises should be downplayed during diary playback. I presume from its omission here that the respawn system is to your liking? It is to mine, but it's the next most common complaint - after the boss fight.
