Just a few random things…

• Running on Normal Difficulty ’cause I’m lame like Hephaestus
• Turn on the captioning.  I realized this late enough that I missed a few things early on.
• Water-horse.  Ha!  Hopefully the Loch Ness Monster was not offended.
• ..aaaand of course the requisite Kratos-gimping.  (yeah, SPOILER ALERT!)
• With all the notes I’m finding, I assume that someone must be handing out school supplies at the entrance of the underworld.  Also, I wish I knew more mythology to understand some of the allusions.  The Persephone storyline is a nice touch though.
• Blades of Chaos/Athena/Exile — the chained swords change names more frequently than Puff Daddy!  Yeah, I know they’re supposedly different swords each time.  Right.  Same shape, new paint job, new name.
• Why can’t I use the blade of olympus in regular combat?  Am I missing something?
• The magic has been pretty mediocre so far.  Where’s my force-lightning?  I like my force-lightning.
• And lastly, for now, one of the main thoughts is “damn, I’m sure I’ve already missed collecting a few items along the way.”
