    1. @unixheroJun 2020· in “Deus Ex at 20: The oral history of a pivotal PC game”

      I have to mention Ross' Youtube channel Accursed Farms' review [0] [1] [2] of Deus Ex. I would highly recommended watching them: "I came for a game review and left with a better understanding of the economy and politics. Ross you blow my mind" [0] [LINK] [1] [LINK] [2] this video

    2. @laidoffamazonNov 2022· in “Panoramas of Deus Ex Human Revolution”

      He's absolutely correct on comparing it to the first game, but he may even be a little too warm towards some aspects of it. I also enjoy this video by Ross of "Freeman's Mind" [0] [0] this video

    3. @bmn__Apr 2020· in “Restoring the Gold Filter in Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut”

      You never asked for this, but Ross's Game Dungeon: Deus Ex - Human Revolution is a delightful critique of the subject matter (a.k.a. lemon blast mode): this video

    4. @raszJan 2022· in “Colors in movies and TV: What happened to them?”

      Good old Piss Filter, also popular with games. From 'Ross's Game Dungeon: Deus Ex - Human Revolution' this video conclusion - art directors are Lizard People. >The first movie to use digital color manipulation in the way we’d think of it today — i.e., shifting the colors within a film image to meet a digitally achieved palette — is generally considered to be the 2000 Coen brothers’ Great Depression picaresque O Brother, Where Art Thou? and not 1999 green tint Matrix?
