'Actually two making of videos combined into one. I downloaded them a few years ago but can\'t remember exactly where from although the second clearly came from IGN originally. One of the things they show is that there were originally a few more monster designs that got cut. I vaguely remember reading something somewhere that the Prince was supposed to be chased by a griffin under the control of the Vizier at several points throughout the game. These encounters would have been periodic boss fights, something clearly missing from the finished game. The griffon boss in the next game is probably a shout out to this. The other thing I appreciate about this making of is how it looks at how the music was composed, a feature I often find missing from many DVD extras. The singers of the ending songs for this game and the two thrones also feature, Cindy Gomez sings Time Only Knows in this game and Maryam Tollar sings I Still Love You in TTT. Wiki-ripped Alternate histories In Type 3, any event that appears to have caused a paradox has instead created a new time line. The old time line remains unchanged, with the time traveller or information sent simply having vanished, never to return. A difficulty with this explanation, however, is that conservation of mass-energy would be violated for the origin timeline and the destination timeline. A possible solution to this is to have the mechanics of time travel require that mass-energy be exchanged in precise balance between past and future at the moment of travel, or to simply expand the scope of the conservation law to encompass all timelines. Some examples of this kind of time travel can be found in David Gerrold\'s book The Man Who Folded Himself and The Time Ships by Stephen Baxter, plus several episodes of the TV show Star Trek: The Next Generation. Gradual and instantaneous In literature, there are two methods of time travel: 1. The most commonly used method of time travel in science fiction is the instantaneous movement from one point in time to another, like using the controls on a CD player to skip to a previous or next song, though in most cases, there is a machine of some sort, and some energy expended in order to make this happen (like the time-travelling De Lorean in Back to the Future or the phone booth that travelled through the \"circuits of history\" in Bill and Ted\'s Excellent Adventure). In some cases, there is not even the beginning of a scientific explanation for this kind of time travel; it\'s popular probably because it is more spectacular and makes time travel easier. The \"Universal Remote\" used by Adam Sandler in the movie Click works in the same manner, although only in one direction, the future. While his character Michael Newman can travel back to a previous point it is merely a playback with which he cannot interact. 2. In The Time Machine, H.G. Wells explains that we are moving through time with a constant speed. Time travel then is, in Wells\' words, \"stopping or accelerating one\'s drift along the time-dimension, or even turning about and travelling the other way.\" To expand on the audio playback analogy used above, this would be like rewinding or fast forwarding an analogue audio cassette and playing the tape at a chosen point. Perhaps the oldest example of this method of time travel is in Lewis Carroll\'s Through the Looking-Glass (1871): the White Queen is living backwards, hence her memory is working both ways. Her kind of time travel is uncontrolled: she moves through time with a constant speed of -1 and she cannot change it. T.H. White, in the first part of his Arthurian novel The Once and Future King, The Sword in the Stone (1938) used the same idea: the wizard Merlyn lives backward in time, because he was born \"at the wrong end of time\" and has to live backwards from the front. \"Some people call it having second sight\", he says. This method of gradual time travel is not as popular in modern science fiction, though a form of it does occur in the film Primer.'
