Line 87:
* [[Shout-Out]]: A trenchcoat-wearing detective in a dystopian, near-future city in California, with monolithic buildings and flying cars? [[Blade Runner|This seems familiar...]]
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: An unusual case where this is delivered ''retroactively'': In ''Overseer'', once Tex is done telling the story in flashbacks, he comments how the game's [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] "was probably right". Chelsea's response: "[[This Is Sparta|"NO. HE. WASN'T.]] ''You'' were!"
* [[Technology Marches On]]: Laserdiscs, VHS Cassettes, and Fax machines aren't as ubiquitous today, a mere 10-20 years later. There's no way you'd expect a VHS or laserdisc player in the board room of a research company, and not having a cellular phone is far more debilitating than not having a fax machine.
* [[The End of the World as We Know It]]: In both ''Under A Killing Moon'' and ''The Pandora Directive,'' Tex has to prevent this.
* [[The Future Is Noir]]
