Just wanted to reaffirm the replay value of this game. When I first played trough paris I stumbled upon the nightclub immediately. This time I looked around and found a cafe, a hostel and a house guarded by MJ12 where you get a phone call from Icarus. Weird since you can never pick up phones elsewhere and Icarus can just contact you via infolink. And also there is this guy who is stuck in a door that never stops and constantly reassures me he knows nothing about silhouette. BTW remember when you meet the couple at the cafe that has a son that works as a soldier for MJ12 and the father tells you the code to the post he is stationed and the mother pleads to you not to kill him. Anyone else expected JC to have some rear end in a top hat  :"I've massacred every trooper on the street. Your son was surely among them." line later?

Yeah, the amount of little, completely optional and easily missable things in the social areas like Hell's Kitchen, Wan Chai market, and Paris is pretty impressive, even now. I still haven't got around to reading all of Jacob's Shadow or The Man Who Was Thursday

The bits of Jacob's Shadow, though, were written solely for the game. I haven't gotten around to reading Thursday but Jacob's Shadow would be an awesome book if it were complete.

So I decided to try an "Ultra government stooge with no regard for human life" run through this time. Pretty much every NPC in NYC has been killed. I saw a couple of new things this time. I killed JoJo pretty early on in the tunnel, but then after I cleared out everyone in the 'Ton including the Rentons, JoJo was in the office saying he now owned the place and the Rentons went on vacation. I've made Paul utter about three or four "JESUS CHRIST, JC!"s. My favorite was when he stood the NSF down at the airport and I killed them all anyway. I was basically Anna Navarre's apprentice until Lebedev when she made some bitchy comment. So after I killed Lebedev, I shot her too. All of MJ12 was wiped out. Gave Manderly my resignation. Was actually kind of sad about Janice Reed. Hong Kong so far has been pretty uneventful, I used scramble grenades on all of the security bots in Wan Chai. Gordon Quick yelled at me for killing one of the little kids because he was working for them or something. All of the guys in Tong's compound are dead except for Tong and Alex. My absolute favorite (and new) part that I've seen on this run happened in Versalife. There's a guy sitting at a desk on the third floor that is paranoid about catching the gray death. He told me if I killed Hundley(the supervisor who you bribe), he'd give me lab access. I went and killed Hundley and came back and JC says something along the lines of "welp, I killed your boss...how about that code?" in only the way JC can  . The way that the guy responds is hilarious, almost as if he was joking about killing his boss. Then he too died.Apparently, in the near future no one cares if you're a mass murderer as long as your goals are aligned with theirs.

The guy in the alleyway isn't Jojo, he's just a low-level pimp. And yeah, it's odd the things the game does and doesn't keep track of.

Foreward: I know Invisible War sucks, I've just played Deus Ex a million times and wanted something new and didn't want to waste the $2.50 I spent on it. How the gently caress do you get DX2 to stop hanging with a black screen requiring a reboot as soon as you get to a load screen after creating your character? I heard it was happening to dual core computers because it was only coded for single core, so I tried using imagecfg to mask it to have single core only affinity, as was suggested, and that didn't work. Tried restarting computer in single core mode, that didn't work too. Just a hard freeze requiring a reboot with a black screen every time I try to start a new game. Anyone ever fix this? I have a dual core e8400 3gz and a single radeon 4870 with 10.7 catalysts if it helps

A while back I asked if anyone had remembered the "secret room" in the elevator to Jock's apartment containing nothing but a skull. I found a picture of it: Click here for the full 700x525 image. The site I found it on had no idea why it's there either. Is it referenced anywhere in-game?

I should have played through this game slower the first time, or maybe it's just the EXP bonuses you can get in Shifter, but goddamn I'm a powerhouse now. Fully upgraded speed, regeneration and power recycling aug means JC is for all intents and purposes unstoppable. I've been doing all the sidequests I can find, so I had Gunther's killphrase, but since you get no experience points for it I reloaded and decided to take him on manually. Which involved putting Regeneration on, waiting for Gunther to come in with the flamethrower and beating him to death then simply waiting out the flames. SKULL GUN. Seriously, is there anything that breaks the game better than full regen and full powercirc? Completely healing myself takes next to no BE. I have the speed aug on pretty much everywhere and still have 20 biocells.

I mean it turns out you were right, but he doesn't even try to explain it by saying "he seemed suspicious", it's just like "my choices were to either kill him or not kill him and killing seemed like the safest choice, he's just a gatekeeper and I was already inside"

The more I see of the Malkavian Mod, the more I think it's just plain retarded. It's not even funny, it's just stupid and nonsensical. I mean, I get the name reference and everything, but it's more a question of why make a retarded mod like this.

Hey guys he just don't like a silly mod we don't all need to put him on trial for it. Has it been discussed what smug motherfuckers Page and Simmons are? Because they must be the most   videogame villains ever. Always acting incredibly superior and never admitting that something didn't go as planned. Just take the missile for example:-It doesn't matter that you have a functioning UC since Vandenberg will soon be a smoldering crater. -So you've reprogrammed the missile. We'll simply destroy it then. And we might as well kill you while we're at it. -It doesn't make a difference that you saw to it that the missile was launched. Area 51 is a mile underground anyway. Even when you've made your way down to area 51 and is standing face to face with him he still insists that everything is going according to plan. The "I was never properly trained in its operation" style comments might be inane but it's such a blast hearing JC mock Page and Simmons. How I wish that there was a conversation option where you could point out how all the previous plans (killswitch, supertanker, Simmons e.t.c.) failed because of you.

"That makes me one ugly son of a bitch" It's very subtle in their voicework, which I love, but as the story drags on, the pair get ever slightly more and more desperate. Your turn.
