** On your first visit to Hengsha, near the end, there's a computer in one of the rooms near [[spoiler:Zhao's penthouse]] that contains an email directed at a "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Mitnick Kevin Mitnick]]."
** Several e-mails found on various computers in [[spoiler:Singapore]] are almost directly paraphrased from the automated speech of the [[HalfLife Black Mesa Transit System]].
** Emails found in [[spoiler:the Picus Sub-Basement]] involve one employee complaining that the statue of [[spoiler:the MJ-12 logo]] looks like it belongs in a [[JamesBond Bond]] movie.
** In the Omega Ranch complex, there is a computer with an email from 'Dwayne' addressed to the security staff, saying (in unnecessarily fancy language) that he wanted to requisition a camera to try and catch who was repeatedly putting animal porn on his computer, suspecting that it's one of his fellow scientists. It's revealed on another computer that three guards, 'Mark,' 'Lou,' and 'Abigail,' are behind it, and are tempted to humor Dwayne by giving him a camera and repeating the process while wearing an office labcoat. It becomes clear what the ShoutOut is toward when Mark mentions, "[[TheOffice I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees what I did with his stapler.]]"
** And later, when you find Dwayne's computer, not only does it have conspiracy theories in the outbox, but the general message he sent out includes a postscript accusing someone named 'Jim' of stealing his stapler. It doesn't get much clearer than that.
** In Montreal, you visit a seemingly harmless location that turns out to have been guarded by mercenaries, with a secret basement containing critical inteligence, owned by a conspiracy that secretly controlls the world from behind the shadows. Oh, and in aforementioned basement, [[TeamFortress2 There are extension leads with one end plugged into a wall socket, the other plugged into another wall socket on the other side of the hallway.]] [[SarcasmMode Subtle.]]
** During the quest with Brent Radford, if you listen into the conversation between him and his attacker, he will ask if he is getting a new rug, since it [[TheBigLebowski really tied the room together.]]
** In the Detroit police station the hacker's body has been [[{{Paranoia}} classified Ultraviolet]] and is off-limits to Blue clearance. One of the classic era supplements was [[HillStreetBlues Hil]] [[AffectionateParody Sector]] Blues in which the Alpha Complex police were all classified as Blue security clearance.
** Praxis points and kits are very similar to cyber-modules in ''SystemShock'' 2.
** You can discover an email from one "[[VeronicaMars veronica_m]]" who's working in the sleuthing business.
** There is a ''{{GURPS}} SWAT'' RPG sourcebook sitting on one of the desks in the police station.
** You can overhear a mention of a [[StargateVerse General O'Neill]].
** Inherited from ''SystemShock'' and the original ''VideoGame/DeusEx'': the ArcNumber (0)451.
** In the "Forgotten Acquaintances" mission, you can read a note on one of the [=MIBs=] that details "Mr Grey"'s iteniary. It includes stopping at a place called Wimbledon Bridge House. This building exists in RealLife and is one of SquareEnix's registered offices.
** [[DeadRising2 There's a sniper rifle on the roof of a gas station]]. It's entirely possible to get it during the 2nd chapter, even though the normal method for obtaining it requires you to hack a level 4 security panel. Hint: [[spoiler: There's a barrel outside of the gas station, and a vent on the inside positioned just above a rack. You can use the barrel to jump up and grab it before you fall.]]
*** You can also just [[spoiler:use a barrel or the high jump augmentation to climb the red dumpster behind the gas station, from which its trivially easy to jump up to the roof.]]
** The 10mm Zenith pistol is a shoutout to two pistols. The barrel, slide and sights are from the Mk 23 is the standard pistol for the Rainbow Six Vegas games, which started the whole cover fire mechanism (and Adam's VA voices Gabriel Nowak). The pistol grip is taken from the [[GhostInTheShell Seburo M-5]], the standard issue pistol of Public Security Section Nine.
*** Which is also a call forward to the original ''VideoGame/DeusEx''; the stealth pistol is a shoutout to one of Masamune Shirow's designs.
** A subtle one: the manager of the Alice Garden Pods is named Jay Chou, a Taiwanese singer/songwriter who's a superstar in Asia and unknown in the west.
** An email exchange between a base officer and a logistics officer in [[DownloadableContent The Missing Link]] has the logistics officer advising the base officer that if he is really serious about getting a pizza oven, he should just fill out one of the standard machine gun requisition forms, cross out the machinegun model, and write "pizza". This is something a requisition officer onced told the doctors of the [[{{Series/Mash}} 4077th]] that they could do, after telling them that they could not get supplies they actually needed.
*** As well as the logistics man being called [[Catch22 Milo Binder]]
** When obtaining information from Picus, Jensen receives the inquiry "[[Film/StarshipTroopers Would you like to know more?]]"
** A blink-and-you'll-miss-it double shout - a computer at Sarif's Milwaukee Junction factory has the password "redwings". You decide whether it's calling out [[FinalFantasyIV the Final Fantasy IV airship squadron]] or [[NationalHockeyLeague Detroit's NHL team]].ShoutOut: [[ShoutOut/DeusExHumanRevolution Boatloads.]]
** Next to a toilet, you can find [[DemolitionMan three seashells]] laying on a [[http://www.shrani.si/f/10/qb/1jFvjOIt/threeseashells.jpg windowsill]]
** A large mercenary named Barrett with a [[ArmCannon cyberarm minigun,]] in a game published by Square Enix? [[FinalFantasyVII Sounds familiar...]]
*** This is, incidentally, '''not''' the first or only Shout Out to that title in the ''Deus Ex'' franchise. ''[[VideoGame/DeusExInvisibleWar Invisible War]]'' had a couple too.
** While we're on the subject of ''FinalFantasy'' Shout-Outs, don't forget [[http://www.kotaku.com.au/2011/06/dont-worry-in-deus-exs-dark-future-there-is-still-final-fantasy/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+KotakuAustralia+%28Kotaku+Australia%29 this]]
** Although probably unintentional, Adam's retracting sunglass implants are very similar to [[PN03 Vanessa Z Scneinder's]]. They could also be considered more practical versions of the eye-shades [[{{Neuromancer}} Molly Millions]] has.
*** Speaking of Molly, one of the Jane Does in the Belltower stasis pods in ''The Missing Link'' is labeled with the initials "MM", has implants that include ocular mirror lenses and finger razors, and has "Rose Kolodny" listed as an alias.
**** Another stasis pod lists its occupant as the possible descendant of a shipwreck victim who was found with [[GilligansIsland several crude mechanical devices made of coconuts and bamboo.]]
** And then there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=TO5CnVvY_wE#t=650s this]]. "The Bull has been asking questions about our little basement club. [[FightClub Has somebody been breaking the first rule?"]] Probably unintentional, but still.
** In the police station, you can overhear two cops discussing some 80s movie set in Detroit that had a [[{{Robocop}} robotic police officer.]] One of the two is even named Alexander Murphy, and one of the e-mails on his computer mentions an Officer Lewis. Given the very similar Detroit-cop-gets-beaten-to-death-and-rebuilt-with-technology plot, this is a pretty deliberate LampshadeHanging.
*** There's another Robocop shout-out on a computer in the Detroit LIMB clinic, which references Jensen's augmentations; specifically that his left arm and legs were salvageable but were replaced at Sarif's request. A similar scene occurs in the first film, where Murphy's left arm is initially saved but then replaced to fit OCP's plan of "total body prosthesis."
** [[CommanderKeen The Dopefish]] appears as graffiti in the DRB gang territory.
** Named police officers include [[BladeRunner R. Deckard]] (short for Robin), [[WilliamGibson W. Gibson]], B. Sterling, B. Bethke, [[HarlanEllison H. Ellison]], P. Cadigan, J. Ballard and [[PhilipKDick P. Dick]]. The passwords to their computers are shout-outs too - "lectrolam" ([[BladeRunner Electro Lamb]]) for P. Dick, [[EmpireOfTheSun "solempire"]] for J. Ballard, [[Literature/CountZero "baronnull"]] for W. Gibson and [[PenName "cordwainer"]] for H. Ellison.
*** Not to mention the security log-in for mpost, whose first name is presumably Mike, and whose password is [[HillStreetBlues blues]]
** Adam & Megan's dog is named [[StanleyKubrick Kubrick]].
** Arms manufacturer Steiner-Bisley takes both of its names from Jessica Stevenson and Simon Pegg's characters from ''{{Spaced}}''.
** When Jensen descends to the final floor of the underground base, he sees a mook struggling with controlling a huge robot, who quite obviously resembles [[spoiler:[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHJJQ0zNNOM Big Dog]]]].
** Surveillance cameras made by "[[NineteenEightyFour Big Bro]] Surveillance".
** One of the Achievements/Trophies is [[MetalGear Foxiest of the Hounds]], gained by completing without setting off any alarms. The image for this achievement also shows exclamation marks next to a mook's head.
** There is a sidequest-important character in Heng Sha named Lee Hong, who shares a name with a character from [[{{Hitman}} another Eidos game series.]]
*** The manner in which you stage [[spoiler: Diamond Chan's]] suicide during the "Rotten Business" sidequest, and the picture for the Achievement/Trophy you unlock for doing so, are also reminiscent of this same franchise.
** One of the eBooks the player can find mentions a listing of media stream subscriptions, and the news feed mentions an interview with "elder rocker [[JonathanCoulton JoCo]]."
** [[Music/{{Megadeth}} One of the achievements/trophies is called "Hangar 18", and it involves hacking into a PC/email whose username is "MSTAINE" and signature is "Dave".]]
** The only named NPC that never participates in a two-way conversation with Adam is a "Working Girl" (read: Harlot) named [[Music/IronMaiden Charlotte]].
** The "[[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/forever-alone#.TlWZKs02v6A Forever Alone]]" meme can be found on [[http://u.cubeupload.com/Weltenfeind/dxhr2011082402084479.jpg a post-it]].
*** You can also find the "look of disapproval" emoticon (ಠ_ಠ) on a [[http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/17009/1868612-dxhr_2011_08_23_20_47_14_85.jpg spray paint can]].
** During a side-quest in Hengsha, you have to contact a man named [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(group) Anonymous]] X. He's wearing a hat with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imageboard #chan]] written on it.
** An eBook in Shanghai details the history of TheTriadsAndTheTongs in the 21st century and makes mention of "the [[ABetterTomorrow Mark Gor]] Lau Wars."
