TechImmortal, why don't you just code a pitch shift for anything said by Paul and JC?

Deus Ex is:
(Deus Ex Machina)
*Clears Throat*
Pronunciation: Day-S-Eks (Ma-She-Na)
Etymology: New Latin, a god from a machine, a translation of Greek Theos ek mEchanEs
Date of Origin: 1697
1. A god introduced by means of a crane in ancient Greek and Roman drama to decide the final outcome.
2. A person or thing (as in fiction or drama) that appears or is introduced suddenly and unexpectedly and provides a solution to an apparently unsoluble difficulty.
Roman fact: In Roman plays, slaves or murders were aloud to be killed in parts of plays where the story says the said person expires plays :eww: (so the play could only be played once with the same person!:p )
Marvin: So that could have been some major Roman Rashes! Ahahahah!
Joe: :sweat: That was really stupid, Marvin..
Oh yeah.. about the JC thing.. I agree.. Jesus Christ could have been his REAL name as a joke.
*Inhales Deeply*:eek:

we arent talking about the meaning of DEUS EX as word, we are ruminating the potential meaning, symbolic or figurative, of te "JC" in dentons frist name. what does it imply and what could it possible mean given that he is the protagonist and hero.

Look at it this way. They had to know that 'JC' would be read as Jesus Christ. There is no way in hell the designers of this game, so clued up as they are, could have missed that. Even if the original intention was something along the lines of 'Jay Cee sounds cool', somewhere along the line someone had to say 'hey, people are gunna think we mean he's a messiah figure, should we change it?'
Plus in one conversation he talks about how he and his brother growing up figured out that they'd been made rather than created the normal way. Which sounds a heck of a lot like immaculate conception.
