I don't actually remember much about D2. All I remember is SHADOW THE FINAL DESTROYER, terrible poetry, a drug named Linda, plant monsters, something about winged people and a wooly mammoth, and hating Kimberly.

My favorite bad localization is the bit in Illusion of Gaia where the cast refers to something that is supposed to be the biblical Leviathan as "Riverson"

You managed to block out that horrible horrible child whose name I can't remember. Kimberly is terrible too, but that kid, ugh.

Yep, absolutely no memory of that. This is a good thing, apparently.

I think there was a piano player whose mother grew chicken legs, though.

Iiiiiii should probably rope a friend into marathoning the D and D2 LPs with me, because I should probably have this fresh in my mind.

Do the aliens distort the steam if they walk through it? That's the only reason I could see for the steam being there.

Laura getting pissed at the locker is the most emotion I've seen her express in three games.

I'm just gonna assume this is like Alien in more ways than one, and Laura is an android and nobody mentions it because it's a known fact.

David is just a creep fuckin' a robot.

I think maybe the translation is just poo poo and she used a perfectly acceptable Japanese idiom that the translators messed up.

Also I didn't notice that the computer in this space ship was clearly made by beloved videogame character, Vexx.

This game has a problem where it will do moments that are supposed to be emotionally resonant, but are ill-timed or compressed enough that it doesn't work, like with David and Laura's make out, or Kimberly's speech about the bird.

Kojima games would do this too, mind you. Remember when Otacon suddenly decided to come clean about his sexual abuse as a child at the worst possible time?

I love that bio-weapons come up so often in games, because I don't think anyone anywhere has ever had such a scheme.

Like, did the Dutch colonists that discovered Komodo Dragons decide to attempt to train them and use them in warfare? Because apparently that's all space corporations think about.

Incidentally, the ending of this game is super-similar to the ending of Metroid Fusion.
