    The upcoming Deus Ex 2 reminded me of something.  I will never speak of Deus Ex in public again.  I was telling my friends about Deus Ex at my high school's senior picnic a long time ago.  I said, "Deus Ex is really good.  You should buy it."  to one of my friends.  A group of girls behind me thought I said, "Gay sex is really good.  You should buy it."  I've never been more embarrassed in my life.

    I approve of you referring to it as Deus Ex 2.  
    I do not approve of you referring to Deus Ex as "really good"; doesn't really do it justice. 
     
     
    So you even out.

    Seriously? Fuck what stupid chicks think about it. Anyone educated ought to know this:
     
    "Deus Ex Machina" (pronounced day-us ex, mach-ee-nah) means "God from machine," and was a theatrical device used in Greek theatre to conveniently wrap up the plot of a story. By introducing a certain "God" lowered down by a system of ropes and pulleys (machines), the God would rectify any loose ends left in the play and bring about a swift and easy conclusion.
     
    The title "Deus Ex" is a reference to "God from machine," which is intrinsically tied to the plot of the games, and makes for a really damn good title. Fuck stupid chicks for not being cultured in my opinion.

    This guy hit the nail right on the head.

    Also I'm pretty sure gay sex is good if that's what you're into, you probably shouldn't buy it though since that can get you into trouble with the law and then you become George Michael

    I thought this was going to say something about how Deus Ex doesn't translate into something meaningful in English (god from...?). Turns out it was a great deal stupider than I thought.

    According to John Romero, he said that Warren Spector wanted to name the game Deus Ex because he wanted people to mispronounce it 'do sex.'

    This is completely correct. Those girls should've known better. How they manage to hear "gay sex" in Deus Ex is beyond me as well. They probably exactly understood what you had said, but decided it'd be funny to laugh at you. They're teenagers. They laugh at stupid stuff.

    Well let me tell you! 
    Deus Ex, when pronounced a bit fast in French, really sounds like "Deux Sexes" which means "Two Sexes" 
    Basically people think you're talking about the latest Hermaphrodite movie in the porn industry
