Ghandaiah: Staff Writer
If you don't know me by "Got Ghand" by now, shame on you, sir. I'm only the evilest evil of all evils. And I write stuff. Articles. You know! "Got Ghand"! You've never read it, silly? ...Wait, haven't we gone over this already? Yes! Yes we have! Stop wasting my time, you! You! You evil person you! Ahaha... how's it goin', man?
I'll tell you what. I'll tell you a little secret if you find me a banana suit, because believe you me, sir, banana suits are hard to find these days. Okay? Good. Here's the secret: I'm not really insane. It's true! I'm not! I just act that way. So remember, if you ever see a sixty-three year old man pushing a shopping cart of croutons through an airport metal detector, all the while in a banana suit, yelling "jibber jabber jibber jabber!" - It IS NOT ME. Yeah, you heard me. Sonny. I was writing Got Ghand long before you were ever playing Deus Ex! Yeah! I'm talking to you! Jibber jabber! Jibber!

Kaigen: Staff Writer
I, Kaigen, otherwise known as Sean Simpson, may be familiar to some of you. Way back before Deus Ex was released I worked at the late DXNation as a news posting wh0re and then later an administrator. Once the site collapsed, I moved here to PDX doing the occasional editorial. I eventually left the site and kind of played hopscotch writing for various websites including Previewed DVD and Lost Hours, a gaming column for the late Coming Attractions, now merged with Cinescape. Now I'm back as news poster here at PDX, while writing game reviews at Stratos Group and co-authoring the web-comic Force Monkeys with Ghandaiah.

King Kashue: Staff Writer
King Kashue is the dashing, mysteriously powerful alias for **NAME DELETED**, who currently lives in a Detroit, MI suburb under the Federal Witness Protection Program...(oops, was I not supposed to mention that? Hey, it's not my safety that's compromised). In real life (What?!? This isn't real life?!?!) he is a professional history student; a musician, playing five instruments (some better than others); an amateur baseball player; and enjoys long walks on the beach, and beautiful sunsets...(I wasn't supposed to mention that either? My bad.) Here at PDX, he currently authors the "Path to Illumination" and will probably be asked to open his big, fat, opinionated, arrog...sorry, he'll probably be asked to write some editorials at some point (though only if Despot is getting really desperate)...

Jonas Wæver: News Editor
Some of you (very few of you) who have known about DX Tempus may remember that I was the Project leader. When the mod died, Despot jumped into action like a desperate vulture and hauled me in with a lot of nice words which he really didn't mean. So now I'm here, where I'll be trying to take over PlanetDeusEx from the inside posting news.

Trestkon: News Editor
Born and raised in Canada, I somehow found my way to the PDX community, and from there, branched into mods, other DX related sites, and many other magnificent wonders that even I cannot yet fully comprehend (must be the cold). Currently I'm heading up The Nameless Mod, have the news and tutorial management job over at dxediting.com and moderate several of the PDX forums. I know what you’re thinking, "what does one guy need with all that power". When you figure it out ...let me know. Right, I'm also 18 years of age, and male. I enjoy flexing (much to the delight of all my lady fans) as well as reading and pointless debates that can come to no reasonable conclusion.

Winquman: News Editor
I'm a 17 year old guy from Sweden. No, not Switzerland, Sweden. And no, everything you hear about sweden is not true. Anyhow, here is my story:

It all started with the MP patch. That's when I decided I wanted to get involved. This was back in christmas year 2000. Since then, I've worked for different mods as a coder (right now it's the PartyZone mod). When PlanetDeusEx got it's IRC channel, I joined it, and became a regular (nowadays I'm pretty much addicted to the internet thanks to that channel). Time went on, and I had a lot of fun. What I did notice, however, was the lack of Mod News on the site. So I asked the mighty Despot if I could post mod news, and after a long and painful waiting, I finally got an answer from him. And here I am now. That's about it, don't you think?

slicer: News Editor
A DXMP freak, I am, for the dark side I sense in you… errr… that doesn’t sound right. Anyhoo, I’m slicer, yes, you heard right, slicer… the origins of the name is unknown. People call me sliver on some occasions (Gwog), weird innit? Yes, I’m a Brit too, I’m from the London, England, United Kingdom, Planet Ghandaiah… Having worked for PDX under the command of Gwog and plotting with Jonas to take over PDX after Despot took over, muwahahahaha, and assisting GameSpy with the Deus Ex servers (what do you mean you can’t see them, they don’t exist anymore o_O), since March and January 2001 respectively, I am still a low down mortal serving PDX. A fun job it is, may the force be with you (a quote I believe is not from JC Denton himself).

Joost "Silverdawn" Loijens: GameSpy RPG Genre Producer
While not a daily staff member of PlanetDeusEx, Silverdawn is still the boss. He manages all of GameSpy's RPG sites, centered around RPGPlanet, and was instrumental in getting the site built and online.

Retired Staff

Bruce "Gwog" Ladewig: Site Director
A part of the ION Storm community since 1997, Gwog founded Deus Ex Incarnate in June of '98. Talking with original Deus Ex programmer Albert Yarusso convinced Gwog that Deus Ex (then called 'Shooter') was going to be pretty damn cool, and worth following. He was also the site director of Stormtroopers.com, PlanetDaikatana, and PlanetAnachronox.

Buzz Kirkwood: News Editor
Buzz Kirkwood is a "writer." He combines letters into words, words into sentences, sentences into paragraphs, and so forth. It is through this mysterious method that he "writes" things. Amazing? Yes. Interesting? No, probably not; but he does it because he can. And can he shall! Oh, how he shall. He'll shall so hard it will make your nose bleed. Then you'll run to get some tissues to fix your nasal problem and in this short time period he'll write some more, leaving you completely helpless to stop him. It's all a vicious cycle, really, but nature has set it this way for a reason. We will never know what this reason is because our feeble minds are too busy being feeble to bother to figure it out. So in closing, no, I don't know where the exit is. Although if I did know where it was I would be out of here so fast it would make your nose bleed. Then you'll run to get some tissues to fix your nasal problem and in that short time period I'll be running down the street yelling "SO LONG, SUCKERS!!" Because I will have found the exit while you have not. (Please note, this bio was done while under heavy medication. Medication so strong it would make your nose bleed...)

Beeblebrx: News and Feature Editor
Beeblebrx's first contribution to Deus Ex Incarnate was a series of articles taking a real-world look at some of the conspiracies featured in Deus Ex. From there, Beeblebrx branched out to doing news, and helping Gwog plan, implement, and judge contests.

Lordie: News Editor and ServerOp Guru
Lordie is a staff writer/newshound for PlanetDeusEx and PlanetDaikatana, and occasional freelance journalist. He enjoys most any game (on pc and console) that does not involve tunics, swords, or bags of holding. Deus Ex Multiplayer takes precedent over most other games currently (2/5/01), but when not playing DX, Lordie enjoys collecting/playing FPS, Third-person Tomb Raider-y games, and the occasional strategy game. Offline, his current hobbies are gaming concept art collection, correcting people who call him 'Loride,' and Rain Man like memorization training.

Aaron "O(V)eG@" McAuley: News Editor
O(V)eG@'s Interest in Deus Ex began in early February 1999, after reading an interview with Warren Spector in a popular gaming magazine he was entranced by the games beautiful visuals (having previously enjoyed the stunning graphics of Doom) and intrigued by the games proposed storyline, He joined the Deus Ex community in mid 1999 with a visit to The ION Storm web page, he was soon a regular of the Deus Ex forum and, in march 2000, after recovering from the fact that the world most certainly did not end, he was approached by OnlyOne to join Everyone's favourite Deus Ex brothel, DXNation, where he contributed an interview with Deus Ex programmer Scott Martin as well as tirelessly scouring the net for even the most tiny morsel of Deus Ex news. With DXN's demise early in 2001 O(V)eG@ found himself without a homepage, but his will to stay in the community and Gwog's need of a "few good men" at Deus Ex Incarnate soon saw him back in the familiar role of Newshound once again. O(V)eG@ is an 18 year old Geomatics/Computer Science student at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMiT), but don't ask him what Geomatics is, cos he doesn't know. He is an enthusiastic artist and programmer and enjoys Immersive reality sims such as Deus Ex and Thief as well as RTS games like Homeworld and Age of Empires and basically "any game that doesn't suck".

Bub: Files Manager
Uhm... Hi. I'm Bub, and I'm 14 years old, and uhm... that's it. So anyway, if you hang around #planetdeus you should know me already. I'm not as insane as the other PlanetDeusEx people, but sometimes I get a little crazy. I love Deus Ex of course, though I never play DXMP. I hung around the HL community for a couple years, but I'm moving on now. I do a bit of DX mapping, and I enjoy writing and stuff. And... that's it! If you wish to know more, just e-mail me.

Nathan Keogh: Staff Writer
Master of the long range GEP kill, Nate writes the mailbag article. Idiots beware, however, as you may be met by Mr. Trout at the gates to the mailbag.
He lives somewhere in the boondocks of North Carolina. For you city people, that means he lives in the middle of nowhere. He is about 18 years old, depending on when you read this, and is anxious to get high school over with. Can usually be found hanging out on a Team Fortress server or maybe playing Unreal4Ever.
