Line 200:
** Also dubbed "goreshadowing," by Anthony and Ashly Burch of HAWP fame.
* In both ''[[Deus Ex]]'' and ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution|Deus Ex Human Revolution]]'', you will run into people frequently who will claim that the government and corporations are behind some plot to take over the world and to enslave the masses. Given the plot of both games, they aren't crazy at all...
** The crazy streetcorner preacher and the conspiracy theorist radio talk show host of the Deus Ex:HR prequel manage, between them, to accurately foreshadow almost every significant plot point of Deus Ex. (This was made much easier by Human Revolution being ''released'' after Deus Ex, even though the game is chronologically set before.)
* {{spoiler|Bosco}} from ''[[Sam and Max Freelance Police|Sam & Max: Freelance Police]]''. (Obscuring the name doesn't make this much less of a spoiler, because he is SUCH a perfect example of this trope that I couldn't possibly be talking about anyone else.)
** In the 4th game of Season 1, "Abe Lincoln Must Die", you find that there is {{spoiler|1=a homing beacon for ICBMs hidden in his store. Earlier on, he built a satellite missile defense system and if you try to launch a nuke at him this system will kick in and stop the missile. There's also a spy camera in his store.}}
Line 245 ⟶ 246:
* In ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines]]'' there is a conspiracy theorist who is a constant caller on a late night radio station. His calls start off with conspiracies regarding aliens and area 51 but at the end of the game he reveals the entire plot of the game so far and the Vampire conspiracy but gets laughed off as being crazy.
* The Terrans in the ''[[X Universe]]'' are terrified of artificially intelligent ships, because their own terraformers [[Apocalypse How|wiped out all their colonies]] [{{[[[AI Is a Crapshoot]] after a software glitch}}, then started [[Colony Drop|throwing asteroids at Earth]].
