    I'm Autistic. :]

    Can't see why it would help me with a game though. Then again, I've heard god knows how many different meanings for the word...

    At some later point, Carlos should have gone in pursuit of Nicholai to take revenge for betraying the unit, shooting and killing Murphy, etc. Would be an interesting subplot to follow. We can get Everett McGill in to play Nicholai, and he can take Carlos' illegitimate daughter hostage.

    WHO YA GONNA CALL?

    Mikhail was having delusions, which may have prevented him from hearing Jill (actually, I'd say there was a very good chance of that). Does it matter anyway?

    The only things I can think of is Nicolai's stoicness while Mikhail sits wounded on the cable car. I'm not sure if Mikhail hears Jill tell Carlos that "Nicholai, won't be joining us", but if he did, then he didn't seem too concerned.

    That and Occam's razor.

    Oh god, I hated that purification puzzle, took me a while to figure it out.

    My best speed run on re 3 is 1 hour and 30 mins and 6 seconds

    In the Biohazard Archives book, under the Resident Evil 3 concept art section on page 222, it states: "The first artist's conceptions of Nicholai and Mikhail had people calling them the Ginovaef brothers, with Mikhail as the good older brother, and Nicholai as the evil younger one."

    Now, from my understanding, "Ginovaef", in proper Russian, would actually be pronounced "Zinoviev", or "Зино́вьев" in the modified Cyrillic alphabet, and "Mikhail Victor" would essentially be the Western equivalent of having two first names. We run into the same problem with Colonel Sergei Vladimir. (I am far from an expert on foreign languages, however, so please correct me if I am wrong.)

    When Colonel Kanatjan Alibekov, the former Soviet biological weapons expert, defected to the United States in 1992, he adopted the more "Westernized" name of Ken Alibek. My guess is that both Mikhail and Sergei did the same. My question for those of you who have participated in the current Resident Evil 3 game analysis is this: Is there anything within the game itself which would totally eliminate the possibility of Mikhail and Nicholai from being brothers? Granted the former was born in Leningrad, and the latter in Moscow, but nearly 10 years separates them, so this neither proves nor disproves anything. I ask this simply for the sake of my own curiosity. Thanks!

    Good work, LBD!

    I don't find the water-purification test particuarly difficult, just time consuming.

    Oddly enough, I just finished the water purification puzzle. I went back up to the second level, but the door says "It is locked by a system.". When I check the panel next to the door it says "There's a security system. System Power: Stand-by mode. Water check: OK. Manual verification is required." Then nothing happens. What do I need to do?

    EDIT: Heh. Forgot steam room puzzle.

    EDIT AGAIN: I beat it for the first time. YAY!

    There are various ones. Its fairly easy, they just make the A one deceptive. Best to start from C and work your way up to A. It should be easier then.
