You&#8217;d think that would make me sad. It doesn&#8217;t. He&#8217;s fine. The gears are just speeding him on his way. I jumped into them on purpose after a creature hinted that I should take &#8220;a leap of faith&#8221;. I was doing this so I could &#8220;defeat the Red Menace&#8221; at some point.  You read that right. Red Menace. Did I find this disturbing? Nah. You see, once you encounter your first swastika in LBP2, you can pretty much handle a little sackbot communism.<\/p>\n<p>I got dipped into a level about shark attacks, and I immediately got excited. I started spinning up possible headers as the level loaded. Something about a bigger boat would be obvious, and maybe too easy. Something from the Indianapolis monologue perhaps? Or how about swimmin&#8217; with bow-legged women? No. That&#8217;s weird.<\/p>\n<p>Then the level started and it was awfulness. Just gigantic sharks attacking and my little sack dude screaming his head off in this awful manner. I shudder thinking about it. I finally figured out how to use the grappling hook to get away from the sharks and&#8230;what? A row of collectible object bubbles over my head, out of my reach, and smack dab in the center is a Nazi symbol. Here? Really?<\/p>\n<p>I left feeling crappy, wondering what I was supposed to do. Report it? Give the creator a pointed review? I don&#8217;t know. It was just so out of left field. I waxed poetic about the &#8220;community&#8221; feel of this section of LBP2<a href=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/2011\/02\/18\/daily-little-big-planet-2-sharing-is-caring\/\"> previously<\/a>. Doesn&#8217;t that word also suggest responsibility for those who play in the community?<\/p>\n<p>I ended up just moving on and found the nice Red Menace level pictured. Actually it&#8217;s called <a href=\"http:\/\/lbp.me\/v\/x3qh4h\">The Fearsome Challenge<\/a>. It was neither, truth be told, but it was a relief after the other level. Which I will not link to. But what I should have done, or should do&#8230;I suspect that will continue to nag at me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1654,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
