Critical Miss: Deus Ex: Human Revolution

[itsausernamewhatofit]

Two game things my friend can't pronounce:

His way my way (which I believe is the correct way as far as I know)

Der Riese - Dear R-ease-ay Der R-i-za
Deus Ex - Deuce Day-uss

Definitely Day-us and not Dooze/Deuce/Dux/Derz-Err, etc.

I have a slightly different problem with saying Deus Ex, which is, everytime I say it, I'm acutely aware that it sounds like Day Of Sex. So when I'm talking to someone who has no knowledge of it, they are giving me strange looks.

Yeah I just call it Human Revolution unless someone asks me for clarification, in which case in try to speak as clearly as possible. I find it best to pause between Deus and Ex to avoid confusion.

I will throw all my money at the developers if that means I can make this real.

Had to post the relevant xkcd:

But yeah... Inspector Gadget was a hell of a show. (Hated the movie, though.)

 

[Alpha Maeko]

BRILLIANT!

Go, go, gadget deep grainy voice.

 

[Scrustle]

I just call it Deus Sex on purpose anyway, I love it so much.

And on that note, every time I see the URL for the site deusex.com I can't help but wonder what sort of sex deu is.

Reminds me a bit of my opinion about the first game. Ion Storm missed a good opportunity when they didn't name the executable for the game deus.exe.

Deus Ex - Deuce Day-uss

two diphtongs:

"ie" : ee
"ei" : eye

(EDIT: i.e: "r-ease-eh")

So not : R-ee-as-ay?

Spoiler: WHAT

Go and watch the cartoon immeadiately. In which his neice Penny and his dog Brian do all the work and Inspector Gadget causes hilarious interludes with his augments. Also an evil guy pets a cat.

Loved the comic this has been at the back of mind mind the entire time I've been playing. xD Nevermind robocop.

^I don't know hat you're talking about. <_< (Mistakes get made... this is a gaming website, after all...)

Brian is the dog in "Family Guy", I think you mean Brain
Be careful though there is an inspector gadget cartoon made by different people without Don Adams that was pretty awful sauce the little I see of it.
There was also a different He-Man cartoon that wasnt up to much.

Back on topic liked the comic

The theme tune is actually pretty awesome as was the cartoon. Inspector Gadget was pretty superfluous to the plot though his neice did all the detective work. I'm surprised Venture Bros hasn't picked up on it yet.

Oops typo xD but yeah Brian would still work pretty well in his place I think

I don't think I;ve ever seen a picture of Inspector Gadget looking so depressed it's kind of sad rofl.

I have to admit that I had to read the comments to understand the comic.

For some reason this Critical Miss reminded me that I still have not played through more than the first level of Deus Ex, even though I do own it. Kind of embarassing, really.

I always pronounce it in French: Döös ö. Yeah, I can't explain it better than that D:
