We worked as slaves to the terrible aliens for years, and then Eminem came over and detonated a nuke on the planet. Talk about Deus Ex!

Déjà vu is the really odd feeling you get when you see something happen the exact same way twice, or when you have done the exact same action before, and are doing it again. Usually the basis is completely improbable, like the other side of your mind is insisting that you could not have possibly seen the thing before.
Déjà vu is also a very kickass J-Pop song by Dave Rodgers.

When I held the sniper rifle in my hand for the first time, it felt like I'd been practicing with it forever. Such déjà vu.

1. An event in chess where one side is not checkmated on their turn, yet cannot make any moves that would not put their king into peril. This supposedly results in a draw, making it a strategic thing to shoot for if one is hopelessly losing.
2. An event that includes, but is not limited to war, games, and war games, in which neither side participating gains a major advantage or victory over the other for some time. In games, stalemates are usually not permanent, as it often forces one side to use up all their resources, finally giving way to a victory for the one that managed slightly more carefully.

2. The Starcraft game dragged on for 2 hours, until Bob ran out of ore but Tom still had a resource base going. It was just a matter of time from there.

A designation for a letter drive on a computer, as in a hard drive, hard drive partition, CD-ROM drive, etc.
Generally, because A: is reserved for a 3 1/2 inch floppy drive, B: for the obsolete 5 1/4 floppy drive (the letter is skipped if the drive does not exist), and C: for the first hard drive, D: is most often a second hard drive or a first CD-ROM drive.
Letters thereafter, such as E:, F:, G:, etc. can be filled by CD-ROM drives, burners, external hard drives, USB drives, and the like as necessary. While not required to be in alphabetical order, it is this way by default.
