One of my friends was talking about the "Castlevania: Symphony of Night" game for the Playstation and mentioned the sword Terminus Est. I guess it is a poison sword in the game. Anybody played it? Other Wolfe references in the game? (I guess most of the people on this list probably don't play video games ... I'm tempted to get the game just to see it).
It's been about three years since I played that game, but besides Terminus Est I remember that one of the swords was called an estoc, a rather obscure word that the designers could have picked up from the BotNS. I wonder if it was like that in the original Japanese version, or just the product of the whimsy of the English translators. Has the Book of the New Sun been translated into Japanese?
