Deus Ex
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Deus Ex was a video game created in the 1990s years ago by a bunch of tin foil hat wearing nerds. The game was fun during its time and is constantly mentioned all the fucking time in /b/ and /v/ game threads, but if you've been alive during George W. Bush's presidency, the entire plot of the game is basically spoiled for you. The basic plot of the game is the exact same thing as George W. Bush's presidency: a terrorist attack on New York (Statue of Liberty instead of WTC) turned the country into martial law (Patriot Act), a new group was found to create terrorism (UNATCO instead of Homeland Security), a global disaster (Gray Death instead of Katrina, SARS, Swine Flu, the yearlong rolling blackouts in California, etc.) caused even more panic, freedom fighters were scapegoated (NSF instead of Muslims), and everyone was poor and suffering (same in both cases).
George W. Bush also spoiled the plot for the pilot episode of The Lone Gunman, whose entire plot was the government remote controlling airplanes to crash them into WTC. Once a conspiracy theory turns into reality, it's no longer good creativity.
To compensate for being made to look uncreative time-travellers due to their conspiracy theories all coming true, the game makers made a sequel, which due to being a poor port from console to PC had poor graphics performance, a lot less features, oh and a very, very lame plot.
Deus Ex 2: Electric Boogaloo
The sequel was produced with the Xbox in mind which led to PC fanboys crying into their keyboards and ripping up their nude posters of Warren Spector. Understandably this led to a simplified inventory system that even a 13 year old boy with downs syndrome could use and an even lamer plot that was written by said boy. Also the player was re-cast as a metrosexual clone of JC Denton.
The sequel had four endings which were:
- Help JC merge with an AI so that he can shoot democracy-nanites out of the Statue of Liberty's ass.
- Destroy everything and have cyborg zombies with russian accents replace humanity.
- Keep the world as it is with the the Jews and Reptilians ruling it as usual.
- Join a religious cult and force the world to live like the Amish.
