I got the GOTY edition on the cheap from Amazon ($4.00!). After playing up to Hong Kong, I checked a walktrhough and discovered that I missed an Aug Canister in Battery Park. Do Aug cans I miss ever reappear, or will I be without that particular Aug for the game? Also, what areas is each Aug Canister located in?

(not having Deus Ex installed is sort of like The Game,in that as soon as someone mentions it you lose and have to reinstall it for another playthrough)
Son of a bitch!
And here I thought I might actually have some free time coming up.
I'm hoping there'll be a Let's Play for Deus Ex (Wasn't there one earlier? I need to search >_>)
[Edit] Searched and not found [/edit]
Edit: Whever I play Deus Ex, I allways start off planning to play in a different style to how I normally play it, and every time I end up a stealthy humane hacker - no kills unless absolutely needed to forwards my personal mission, or someone trys to fuck me over.
....Okay, maybe I will be reinstall the damn thing.
Where Madness and the Fantasical Come to Play
also, there's no need to do a Let's Play of this game, because no Let's Play for any game could ever trump this one.
One of my fave runs was only using blades to kill. The only ragned attack I had was my very small collection of throwing knives. Leaping across rooftops while cloaked, then activating the targeting aug then nailing a commando in the head with a throwing knife in complete silence was one of my favorite moments. It was just so ninja.
OH FUCKBEANS! Now I'v gotta re-install it now.
Sigh, looks like I'll be attempting another ironman run. What the hell is it with this game and people re-installing and replaying it randomly whenever they hear about it? I'v beaten it at least 5, maybe 6 times already and even made mods and maps for it ut still am not tired of it.
Not only are there extra aug cans of the same type, but you can mix and match slots instead of using each type of can once. For example, you have two subdermal augmentation slots and there are two aug upgrade cans for subdermal: (very minor spoiler, list of augs)
Also, this game is awesome. You wont regret picking it up.
BASTAGE, I was really holding out for a win this time!
and shall probably fold and continue playing it soon enough.
It's on steam?

Since its my first time playing, my skills are somewhat unfocused-only H.weapons, swimming and enviro are untrained, while Computer is my only Advanced.
So far, its taking me at most 3 trys to figure out. Right now my biggest obstacle is remembering to save :P
...it's only $4 boxed. You must really hate going outside.
I'm just picturing this blubbery mass sitting at his computer shouting 'omygod' over and over again, flaling like that fat kid you see in those animated gifs
Edit: Thanks HJ. (how did he get it so right
Just so much raw power.... and to top it off, the best story of any FPS, ever.
$4? we brits don't use that crazy money. Although i see Ben's moved from Cornwall to Southampton (yes, i stalk everyone, deal with it), so maybe he has more money to afford the luxury of the $10 Steam version.
Damn it all to hell. My Dwarfs can wait a bit while I play Deus Ex.
Reinstalling, gonna run it in Parallels.
This game, still, STILL has the best environments of any game I've ever played, including Halo and Half-Life. Hong Kong is so goddamn perfect, it's unreal.

I'm having to live on Cheese Toasties and Frosties because my student loan still hasn't cleared. I'm in no fit state to afford anything (though Deus Ex comes before food, priority wise)
how about cheese and frosties toasties?
Yet one of the greatest games of all time came out of there, too, in the form of Deus Ex.
...and all because of an accent. Funny, I wonder why that is...
And as for Deus Ex, even though I've never completed it (because I'm evil and never finish anything) I'm prepared to call it one of (if not the) greatest games ever. It basically is the perfect balance of everything and puts other games to complete shame when they try to cross even remotely into the same area.
Which is really sad when you think about it. Wouldn't it be great to have something with the graphics of Doom 3/Bioshock/Etc but with this kind of gameplay? The experience would I dare say be visceral.
I think at this point, they're more remembered for what they did once John Romero's portion of the company folded.
Warren Spector's studio was in a whole different city in a very modest office building and that was where Deus Ex was born. Once Romero's grand penthouse of game design that everyone actually ended up hating failed, the small office lived on.
But then they made DXIW and Thief 3. DXIW probably being the only failure Ion Storm is really remembered for for the most part these days. Ion's early days seem to be, well, not quite be forgotten, but far less talked about. And Thief 3 is considered a failure too, but only by the Thief community. But seriously, who really cares about them? They do, obviously, but I'm pretty sure they're the only ones.
So dang awesome. My friend and I would compare playthroughs during chemistry. I've done no kills and all kills, hack, sneak, run 'n gun...
God what a cool game.
