* In the forthcoming re-release, the stained-glass windows found in the level "Downward Spiral" (seen in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTZKEdnDGVk this video]], starting at roughly the 13:20 mark, although it is likely too small to be clearly legible) feature an abridged quote from [[Literature/BookOfGenesis Genesis 11:7]] (excerpted passage in bold): "Venite, igitur '''descendamus et confundamus ibi linguam eorum''', ut non audiat unusquisque vocem proximi sui,"[[labelnote:With macrons]]Venīte, igitur '''dēscendāmus et cōnfundāmus ibi linguam eōrum,''' ut nōn audiat ūnusquisque vōcem proximī suī[[/labelnote]] which the KJV translates as: "Go to, '''let us go down, and there confound their language''', that they may not understand one another's speech." This text being in Latin is [[FridgeBrilliance quite fitting]], since few people understand Latin nowadays. Given how high it is on the stained-glass windows, it is also so small that you have to squint (and quite possibly use the sniper zoom, which one may do by pressing F7) to see it.

** ''Tempus Irae Redux'' also adds an exterior to "Downward Spiral"'s well-known cathedral with hedges spelling out the letters "DNIC". The creator of this segment of the level [[https://youtu.be/BSZCZ-g8Scs remarked in a YouTube video description]], "It’s a Latin abbreviation (if you’re surprised, nice to meet you, my name’s Aaron) for Dominus Noster Iēsūs Chrīstus (Our Lord Jesus Christ). I found it in a list of Ecclesiastical Latin phrases; it seemed like something a Renaissance Italian cathedral’s hedge garden might spell out, so I used it."

*** Which comes from [[spoiler:Music/{{Rush}}'s "[[Music/{{Hemispheres}} Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres]]". This track has a comparable TakeAThirdOption stance to ''Eternal''[='=]s; it argues that logic without emotions and emotions without logic are both unhealthy stances, in much the same way that ''Eternal'' argues that both too much order and too much chaos are undesirable. The biggest difference is that in "Hemispheres", both Apollo and Dionysus are well-intentioned; the same can hardly be said of the Ascended Jjaro or the W'rkncacnter in ''Eternal''.]]
