Sample: Ending Chapter Route B1
George Santayana must occasionally yearn for a postmortem retraction of that famous line about repeating history. The creators of SOD took their best shot at making the long-dead philosopher turn over in his grave with this well-intentioned but exasperating RPG about a guy with a J-Pop name wildly careening from the present day to an approximation of the Middle Ages in a bid to avoid being murdered.
Story-intensive games should in theory offer greater rewards to a translator; after all, the gameplay is all about adapting to plot turns and picking up clues from dialogues. Since bad original writing is the norm in the game industry, the fun of any game job is in subversively trying to raise the level of the writing, while unobtrusively correcting factual mistakes and cultural faux pas. The buzzkill in a "period piece" job like SOD is that the script is saturated with bad history. The time chosen for the medieval setting is 1581-86, a regrettable choice given that it falls about 80 years ahead of even the most generous description of what constituted the Middle Ages in what is now Germany. While the quibble about time may seem petty considering that what we know as the Medieval era lasted from around 600 to 1500 CE in Europe, the lack of any discernible effort at cultural authenticity is a legitimate cause for grievance. The way I figure it, there's always the option to go the fantasy route if one is way too research-shy for period pieces.

Also witty and insightful was Mr Kramnik. His precise, tricky lines are always fascinating to hear in postmortems :)
Tamron AF 75-300mm 1.:4-56 LD - 'Post Mortem'
This was my 75-300mm Lens.
I used it Once here: www.flickr.com/photos/brit_robin/albums/72157656710772775
I was very happy with its performance, then when I was rushing to leave the house the padded bag it was in dropped onto the floor about 4ft.
"Frontal Impact damage" which seems synonymous with this lens. The Zoom ring no longer worked, Once stripped down I found the zoom mechanism depended on a small plastic 'peg' to turn it, this peg was broken. The location is highlighted in a square in the fourth photo. It was then I also noticed how the place of assembly was written in a different color so "Tamron Japan" jumps out at you but the grey "Assembled in China" is much more stealthy... I replaced it with an older Tamron 100-300mm made in Japan....

This may or may not hang while removing the body, but the big thing is that it might go sideways and drag on the release, so keep an eye on it.
This is Henri Ste-Claire Deville, post-mortem, showing himself moving on a videotape that was made in Luxembourg some years ago. The Harsch-Fischbachs, who see the man`s head moving from right to left, did not know who he was at that time and it took some months before he could be recognized
