After an extensive search through the forums I can safely say that this topic is not a duplicate of another.

84. Your spare time is spent attempting to contact your unofficial brother 'Paul' who you 'know' has been entered into the UNATCO Agent Nano-Augmentation Program
82. You attempt to join UNATCO in order to make contact with 'Paul' in their Agent Nano-Augmentation Program only to realise that neither UNATCO, Paul or Nano-Augmentation exist.
83. You are detained and interigated by the FBI after being seen acting suspicious around the base of the Statue of Liberty
84. After your last incident with the FBI, you are certain that UNATCO exists and that the FBI are agents of MJ12 and are attempting to cover it up.
85. You attempt to build a Universal Constructor using the schematics found in Deus Ex.
86. You call your Doctor Jaime Reyes and wonder why he doesn't just give you the access code to reach the Med-Bots in the next room or sell you some med-kits.
87. You harass your local drug lord for a vial of Ambrosia, just in case the Grey Death should strike.
88. You attempt to set up a Zyme lab in order to make a bit of extra cash (and to obtain a few LAM's)
89. School Sucks. You feel wandering aimlessly around will gain you more useful 'skill points' than sitting in a class room learning useless 'math', 'writing' or 'reading'.
90. Feeling that you have some experience in the Medical Profession after gaining some imaginary 'skill points', you attempt to aid your friend/ faimily member/ neigbour with a bad heart by treating them using the 'Med-Kit' kit from the car.
91. The procedure fails and you end up killing them. The police arrest you for murder. During the interview you explain how 'skill points' work and how the procedure failed because the nano-machines in the 'Med-Kit' malfunctioned.
92. The police send you to a mental hospital. Ha! more like an MJ12 research base. You spend the rest of your days waiting for Daedalus to contact you and open the door so you can raid the armoury and escape. In the meantime you call for Migel but only hear the staff outside telling you to shut up.
93. You wonder why you can't buy Bio-Electric Cells to power stuff instead of batteries.
94. You almost electrocute yourself trying to 'Recharge your BE stores'
95. You get a dose of the flu and think its Grey Death.
96. You become a major avocate for the removal of Homeless people from the street on the grounds that they are carriers of the Grey Death.
97. You attempt to buy stocks in both Versa-Life and Page Industries.
98. Your pocket calculator is known as a 'Multi-Tool' and your Screwdriver is known as a 'Lock Pick'
99. You wonder why Microsoft hasn't released an operating system that only displays e-mails and important buttons such as 'orentate TV antenna' and 'read my mind'
100. You attempt to use an ATM without a card, thinking that it will only ask you for an account number and a pin.
101. Failing this, you attempt to look for the 'hack' button on the keypad.
102. You tap the side of your head in an attempt to access your augmentations and inventory.
103. You stop looking at the chocolate bar in your hand and expect it to drop into your pocket.
104. There are only five things on your shopping list, Wine, Cigs, Soda, Soy Food and Chocolate Bar.
105. You find yourself running around everywhere as you forgot the key required to toggle on 'walking'.
106. You get your hands on a LAW and use it to open a locked container that you found. Only to blow the container and its contents into a hundred pieces.

107. You are very careful about spending your money... I mean 'credits', as there are only a limited supply from hidden containers and ATM machines and you can not sell equipment.
108. You are admitied to hospital after attempting to prove that the effects of excessive tranquliser darts are not fatal.
109. Your wardrobe is filled only with tight leather armour vests and heavy combat boots.
110. You wonder why professional soldiers can use body armour and night vision goggles without the power in them running out.
111. You only go out at between dusk and dawn.
112. You are surprised when you find out there has never been a President Mead in office. Ever.
113. On every ballot paper, you add 'President Mead' as a candidate, even if your country isn't lead by a president.
114. Whenever you are out in the street, your time is spent looking for expensive military hardware just lying around.
115. The only topic of discussion between your friends is the difference between the crowbar in half-life and the one in Deus Ex.
116. Your savings are blown on a major facial reconstruction in order to be more like JC.
117. Several plastic surgeons place restraining orders on you after being harassed about 'Dermal Nano-Augmentation'.
118. You try to change for last name to Denton and get everyone you know to start calling you JC.
119. Neighbours rush inside when you attempt to test your 'enhanced' 10mm hand gun.
120. Your backyard is littered with the scraps of former 'enhancements' gone horribly wrong.
121. You become known on a first-name basis around the local hospital after several of your 'Deus Ex' like displays of courage and strength.
122. You feel that you don't need to be invited on to private property.
123. When ever you are having problems on the internet, your immediate thought is that Area 51 has been destroyed along with the Aquinas Hub.
124. You contribute to threads like these.

125. You take drugs expecting it to give you telescopic vision, knowing that you're already able to compensate for that spining affect.
126. You become a master sniper with standard firearms whenever you're on drugs.
127. You buy a spanish megastar handgun because it's the only one you can find that uses 10mm auto ammunition.
128. You write petition after petition to the US military in an attempt to convince them that their pitiful 9mm pistols need to be upgraded.
129. You attach empty juice boxes to your own guns, and you call them "harmonic stabilizers".
130. You buy a black vest, sew blue lights into it, and expect to be invisible. You are banned from establishments globally for walking into their locker rooms wearing said vest.
131. You have absolutely no addiction to cigarettes, yet you can smoke an entire pack of them in one puff.

132. You know every word a character is going to say before they've even said it. (This is the 45th time you've played through it after-all.)
133. You re-arrange your furniture in your flat to match that of Paul's in New York.

134. If you ever have to choose a 4 digit number, it's always one of the in game codes. 0451, for example, is your pin code on your bank card.
And I'm very seriously considering doing something like this. At the moment my pin number is much simpler than that.

135. You go out to a club at the weekend and are disappointed when you don't pick up two girls with extremely appauling fake Aussie accents.
136. You go rooting around in dumpsters down alleys and are disappointed when you dont find any money or full liquor bottles/packs of cigarrettes.
137. You stand having a quiet conversation with a helicopter.
138. You mentally identify everyone you see in the street as friend or foe.

Nothing wrong with that. I often listen to DX & DX:IW music in work, as well as the Metroid Prime & System Shock 2 soundtracks.
