Majek Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Yeah. No internet back then :D. Pirating games over radio was the big thing. :d 1.13 killed off Ja2.
MacMichael Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Pre-loading has begun on Steam. I'm going to need better directions than "the secret lair." -==(UDIC)==-
Tale Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I want a show of hands. Who does not own the original Deus Ex and does not mind using Steam? I have a (1, one, uno, ichi, ein) spare copy available to gift out. Be honest here. Let me know if you've never played it. Only played on PS2. Or you owned it, but lost the discs.

Gfted1 Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Ive never played it and I dig Steam but save it for another. http://www.sloganizer.net/en/image,Gfted1,black,red.png
entrerix Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 i bought deus ex the first weekend after it came out, and still use the disc about once per year as a coaster!! zing! just kidding i use it to play awesome deus ex Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
vault_overseer Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I already have the first one, but I've always wanted to try Invisible War, just to see....

I honestly picked up IW on some Steam sale for dirt cheep just out of morbid curiosity. To be honest, save your money and time and watch some YouTube LP of it. It's not worth your time playing it. At all. Some of my Youtube Classic Roland MT-32 Video Game Music videos | My Music | My Photography

We need people untouched by the horrors of Invisible War in this bright new era of Human Revolution and thinly veiled Greek mythology references.

I mean, the game isn't so much bad, as just hopelessly mediocre. If it were worse, I might enjoy it more! Walsingham said: You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

Malcador Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I don't get it. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Purkake Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) So what you're saying is that humanity is embracing cybernetic enhancement too rapidly and its shortsightedness will be its downfall? Edited August 19, 2011 by Purkake
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 It's the least subtle reference to the Icarus myth (flying too close to God/messing with nature), really. Quote "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Malcador Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 JCD's meme is better. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
entrerix Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 HAHAA its still funny. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

Rosbjerg Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 Icarus is seriously overused - of course I don't know enough about Greek mythology to actually get any other references, so in essence I guess I have myself and people like me to blame. Fortune favors the bald.
Raithe Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Maybe it's because I did Classical Civilisation at college.. but the core of greek myths and literature.. pretty muchb seem to get repeated through stories of all sorts out of europe the past 2 millenia. That might just be the whole.. essential arcehtypes or some such. Or it might be that I'm a wee bit drunk at the moment. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Gorgon Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Played it to death already. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

It's actually expanded a bit with some pseudo-sociological theory in the novel. I found it plausible. Not seeing what the issue is here, actually expecting that your customers know the myth?
