System Shock 2 was a bit of an odd creature in that it is associated much more with its twist villain that its actual villain, who was a much larger presence in the first game. I'm chalking it up to System Shock 2 being a lot more accessible to the masses than the first game is. A few more things:
- The "Nah" is in fact the first and only time your player character says ANYTHING in this game, which is why it is so funny.
- Swimming is a skill in Deus Ex, which is not a very useful skill. In Deus Ex you can end up picking various skills to hobble your character. The game doesn't become outright unbeatable, just very difficult. Mandalore hasn't done a video on the game, but Ross Scott of Accursed Farms has. It is very much a thinking man's RPG, even though the voice acting is... less than stellar.
- Tau Ceti did appear in Marathon. It also appears in real life, as a star in the Cetus constellation.
- Xerxes is indeed the villain in the 300 movie/comic, the son of Darius I.
- Do watch Mandalore's Dead Space videos, they're pretty good.
- The video you're referring to can be found as Dye - Fantasy. Just don't react to it, it's a bit... transgressive.
