Bingo.

Anyway, that's Sinestro- yet better.

And what an... interesting way you have of "not participating". This kinda goes in line with comparing An0n to Hitler, doesn't it?


And... wow. This thread ran out of topic real fast.
Webpage. Yes.

Hmm..Deus Ex 2 seems to be set up for a very interesting story.

What I dont get is this: There were 2 AI programs, Daedelus (I seem to remember a Daedlus from the VBB, anyone else remeber him?) and Icarus , then they merged into Helios. One of them was working for Everett and the other for Page. But, in Everett's base, behind a locked door, there was a third AI program in the works, called Morpheus. Why didn't he appear anywhere in the story? Like Everett had him, why didnt he use him?

Morpheus was just a prototype, IIRC, and so would not be able to handle all the data that Daedalus/Icarus/Helios would.

Just an idle fact (never completed DX, think the furthest I got was hong kong)....

Daedelus and Icarus are both figures  from Greek mythology, who were imprisoned on the island of Crete (I think).  Icarus was the son of Daedelus.  Both glued feathers to their arms (with wax) to try and fly out to escape.  This they did, but Icarus flew too close to the sun, melting the wax and losing his feathers - and therefore dying (or burning up...not 100% sure).  Helios is also, I think, the name of the sun god.

Yes. That really doesn't have a whole lot to do with the names in the game, though- believe me, I usually keep an eye out for clever analogies, this wasn't one.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Ahh, but how do you know that the characters in FL are different people?
They all say the same things, after all.;)
