I am in Looooooove

Deus Ex 2 comes out in December and the more I look at the trailer available here the more I go nutsy from it. This game just has so much promise and I want it right now like a dog in heat. Er... not in a sexual way though, because that's just really damn gross.

Anyway, I know what I'm going to be spending my winter break doing. :D So why the @#$%)* doesn't Thanksgiving or Christmas come around yet?! >_<

I'll be working on part five of that Mandrashard writing project of mine in the meantime, I guess. Waaah, Deus Ex 2...!

By the way, this song is so addictive. I ended up writing that practice piece while listening to this song repeatedly, riding on the emotion of the song solely and whatever images could carry me through them. Freaky, huh?

The trick with the prod is to get VERY close. Unlike RtCW, you can "bump" into the back of a guy without alerting him. If you're right behind them, a single prod knocks them to the ground.
And yeah, in the nanotech lab of Mj12, I crept up behind the MiB in his chair, knockd him out and looted him! Yay!

I think you can reclaim knives after you use them. I've certainly done that with darts - pick the ones that missed out of walls, and sometimes they are in bodies.

Knives can be recovered, but the ratio of recovery for me is 50-70%. I only know two locations in the game where to get throwing knives too, so it can get frustrating fast. Still, if I could get more, I'd definitely consider it a superior weapon from the pistol since it's silent as well as has an extremely high rate of fire and can do more damage when maxed out in the melee skill.

Drat. I think I may have left them behind outside the NSF warehouse in the previous mission.
