Removed from main page, as there is a cleanup effort on Jossed underway and I am not sure what to do with this entry:

• The Watch Maker: An eBook on Jensen's coffee table and scattered gears suggest he's taken up clockwork as a hobby, likely to build dexterity in his new hands - not to mention patience.^note The Director's Commentary ultimately Jossed this in that their intent was to show that Adam always had a hobby of collecting old mechanical things, taking them apart, and putting them back together again to understand how they work. However, they admit that the fan-theory that his interest was in helping him understand himself after his Emergency Transformation was cooler than what they came up with.

I don't understand how this trope applies.

Jedi Truth: Hugh Darrows publicly states that his Panchaea project will directly fix the high amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and help restore balance to the world's ecosystems. Technically, he's not lying.

Which characters attack the player if he has a gun out, and do the newspapers count as The Dev Team Thinks Of Everything? If the player shoots up the Detroit PD, the newspapers will say a assailant walked in and started shooting(The cops outside also turn hostile and will immediately blast you to death the minute you leave the PD), along with a photo of a man whos face resembles Jensen. If he uses stealth, the newspaper says missing evidence as the reason the precinct shut down. This is just one example of the newspapers changing to your actions.

Neuropozyne is pronounced noo rop ä zēn, I believe. Just in case anyone is curious. Vowels are like: Neu (neu ron) rop (pop) o (ah) zyne {team)

Now, i havent played DE:HR and i have only seen a few clips on Youtube but i saw the Extra Credits video about it and made me wonder if it is really that difficult to solve the "if the rich kid has the better augmentation available, how can the poor kid compete with that?" problem? First of all take a look in the Heroic RROD Real Life section with this sentence so i dont have to write all of it: "Humans are capable of using only one-third of their muscles' potential strength (even when hyped up on steroids) due to a biologically implemented mental block" Conspiracy aside, why cant in the DE:HR universe have robot arms that act as a normal limb and only activate their full potential in a andrenaline rush life or death situation but without the drawbacks of having your muscles become mush by the effort? I mean it just raises an eyebrow in how the robot arms can shape into rocket launchers and other cool stuff but something as simple as a having the arms just be calibrated to be functional as a normal arm isnt the first thing the scientist do

Defictionalization: A lot of effort went into making sure that the 'Twenty Minutes Into The Future' look felt right, including the fashion. It looks futuristic, but not too distanced from today. As such, there are official clothes you can buy that, whilst not 100% identical, have a similar look and feel to the game's clothing. http://eu.deusex-store.com/category/29_Deus-Ex-Official-Collection

Would it considered irony that the hookers in the Hung Hua Hotel are against augmentations, despite most of them having two obvious 'augmentations' (Chinese woman aren't famed for having large chests)

The Ungrateful Bastards example can be averted, as noted now. Should it stay on the page, then? It does apply if you don't do things perfectly, and the only reason I found out it was possible was a sheer damn lucky tranq headshot.

If someone with skill has time on their hands, do they want to rewrite the main article? Because it's completely devoted to pre-release expectations which is pretty inappropriate now. Really we want a story summary, followed by background expectation, a short line about divided opinions and the excepted critical response to the game nowadays. I don't think I have the confidence to write it, but it really needs to be done

Could the fact that crazed guards run towards grenades rather than away from them be a reference to a certain zombie game?

Jensen's blades shoot out of his cybernetic arms in the middle of his forearms. The blades are spec-ed to 35cm or 13.8 inches. If the blades emerge from the middle of his forearms, how are the blades stored in his arms? Maybe a blade made to be like Batman's cape until a electric charge is run through it?

Whoever wrote former PM John Howard's email to Picus captured his voice brilliantly. Also, cyberpunk settings seem to love the idea of a divided Australia - Gibson's Bridge series did the same thing.

Is there a trope for cases like with Jensen's apartment, where a game uses a view of a character's home as a way to provide information about the character?

Does anyone else think that Anticlimax Boss is too long and nattery? What should be done about if it?

I don't want to start an Edit War about Megan Reed Complete Monster status on the YMMV page. So I'm starting a topic here to ask what is the issue here. I know Deus Ex is quite the polarizing game but it's annoying to see edits I made being deleted twice with a "what, what?" for sole explanation because someone doesn't believe what I wrote. It should be useful for further questions on the matter, especially concerning the endings.

Is there a trope for product names that are ironic, or at least really suck? Because, the Icarus Landing System? Really? If I was going to get a parachute, I wouldn't want one named after a guy who fell to his death.
