* Every time Mr. Glitch explains his EvilPlan, something prevents Game and the User from hearing it. The first time it happens, the interference takes at least a minute or two to clear, but every interference after that lasts for a few seconds if the interruption isn't the end of the discussion. When you think about it, it makes sense that Mr. Glitch would've spent more time discussing his EvilPlan than the times after that; he was explaining future technology to Holmes and Watson during that time, and wouldn't need to do so during subsequent explanations.

* While in the Sherlock Holmes game, Watson is the only one who's smart enough to grasp the implications of what Game tells them about their reality being fake. He's also the only one who actually *does* anything; Holmes mostly just provides exposition. Why? Simple - as with many Holmes-related games, Watson is the player character! Of course he has greater autonomy than Holmes; he's the one who was supposed to be doing everything!
