Mission: Go Where That Guy Told You

This is IT! The final post to catch up to my point in the game. I'm so happy I'm crying inside because when I'm doing anything that takes up my brain space I tend to have a completely serious and sober face while on the inside I'm exploding. On occasion these explosions do show on my face, and when they do it doesn't matter cause no one's around to see. Random. Let's move! Okay, never mind. Quick note. I notice that my blogs really don't have a lot of names and specifics of what's going on, so the quality really isn't up where I'd prefer it to be, but on the other hand it's a lot simpler than doing a crap ton of research to bring you another waaaaaaay to informative blog about something. I couldn't even tell you who made the game except Square Enix and some other people I don't care about. Now that I got that off my chest we can proceed, and I will always admire my good good friend who writes AMAZING blogs about somewhat similar stuff (it's about video games) and all the amazing info that is in it, researched or not. I have no idea.

ALRIGHTY!

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!

I shall beat you ALL! In the FACE!

The location this guy told Jensen about is also in China, and I have forgotten how I got in there because I just recently spent a crap ton of hours figuring out what the heck I was doing INSIDE and then how the heck to get OUTSIDE. Phew... I will be able to tell WHAT I went inside this building for, though. There is a data core deep in the dark recesses of this place and whatever is on there concerns the research team that was murdered/kidnapped/whatever six months earlier. We are also hoping it will contain all of the enemies deep dark secrets and why they are trying to take down Sarif Industries. Sounds simple enough, but it's NOT! I have never died so many times in a row like I have in this game, or maybe it seems like a lot more because reloading takes a while. So much death...

I give you a brief synopsis of what I was up against here. The beginning was relatively okay because I only died like three times and the people were all guards with machine pistols. THEN after passing through a nice little civilian area with no resistance THEN it gets incredibly difficult. The guys here are made up machine gunners, machine pistolers, and combat rifle users. Not to mention that they have a robot. A super nasty kills you in one encounter type robot. This Tai Young Medical Center has some pretty high end security. Hey! I remembered the name! More like I looked it up on the wiki, but who cares about the tiny details? Do you see how I died so many times? It was ridiculous, and I even got all the invisibility upgrades. Maybe that made me a little too bold. Oh, well, I made it in the end.

aAaaaaaAaaaaAAAAAaAAAA! That's my epic sound.

Woot! I just want to let you know that I was RIGHT! Megan and her team are ALIVE! They WERE kidnapped! Man I'm good! Now we have to head off to find Tai Young Medical's CEO the lady with a long name Zhao Yun Ru. Getting to her wasn't NEARLY as difficult as getting to the data core. All I had to do was take down a few guards, dodge some lasers, take down some more guys, and ride an elevator to her private penthouse. Cut scene in which Jensen shows off his badassness and then a little of his stupidity cause he lets her get away. More like she acts all innocent and stupid, shoves him away, locks him out, and then gets away leaving Jensen with a crap ton of guards to deal with. Thank all that is good in the world that I chose the invisibility augmentation. I just hid behind a crate, then turned invisible, shot ONE guy, and then got away.

I find it hard to believe that you are the mastermind behind all this.

Okay, nice clean get away; all we have to do is open the hatch for Malik to swoop in and fly us out of here... Just have to blow up a couple of GIANT robots first. No problem...

Come to me, my pretty

Seriously, it is no problem; not when I have this big a** rocket launcher! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I blew one up with an EMP pressure plate, and then I blew up the other one with a sweet rocket launcher! FRICK YEAH! The bunker opens, Malik comes and picks Jensen up, and then we head off to Montreal to meet with the famous Eliza.

That's it. That's where I am. I'm chilling on the top of the studio that Eliza hangs out in, and I'm about to break in and have a friendly chat with her. I forget what, but when we get to that part I'll remember. Happy travels!

IT Begins (and I don't really know what IT is)

Awesome FREAKING update! this is going to really start rolling, and I'm am COMPLETELY serious! I played Deus Ex today, and died numerous times (too many to count). Now to complete my day I am going to get this blog caught up to my current position in the plot! That is my goal at least whether or not that happens is completely up to my caprice.

Recap. Sarif got hacked into and Jensen had to head off to hack down the system. Now we get to head off to CHINA and figure out what the DEAL is. I'm pretty sure WAIT! I hate getting ahead of myself and I thiiink that is what I'm doing now. Okay okay okay. Hmmmmmm.... When does that happen? Maybe that Dooooes happen now. Cool. Okay, so we head of to CHINA and figure this stuff OUT! Upon this mission Malik has some business to take care of and being the trooper that I am, I assist her. That has nothing to do with the main plot, though. Play the game if you want to know, or maybe I'll add side quests on at the end of this main stuff. Maaaybe.

While I wait for pictures to load on my incredibly ancient internet. I will fill you in on what Jensen is doing in China which I am trying to figure out in my head right now. It has something to do with figuring out who the people are that are trying to take down Sarif Industries, but that's kind of a "duh" conclusion. The cool thing is Jensen is hunting down the dudes that broke IN to Sarif Industries and offed/kidnapped/whatever his girlfriend. I'm thinking VENGEANCE! Oh, look! Picture time! ... FINALLY!

Look how far the world has come. The future looks exciting!

This mission like all the other missions involves the stealth and sneaking around. I get caught multiple times, BUT I do manage to take down all of my enemies successfully... After millions upon billions of tries. This building is HUGE. I forget what it's called, but I have to find this guy who can make a special key pass with DNA in it and all this cool stuff. I am so grateful that I figured out to look for the quest marker otherwise I would have been looking around in hundreds of these space travel looking living units trying to find him. Once we meet he agrees readily to give me the pass and all the information on his employer. What a snake! Works for Jensen, though, and he gets the pass so who cares if the guy's a scumbag! Then... We get BUSTED! The people who are trying to track this guy down have found him and they are RAIDING THE BUILDING! The guy freaking panics "Oh, God, I'm gonna die! SAVE MEEEEEEE!" Jensen this whole time is like "Look. I'm not saving you so scram." I choose the nice option and give him a gun for protection and then send him on his way. May God have mercy on your scumbag soul.

Loodiloodiloo. I make it out of there after many many tries, and I'm skipping all the details because they really aren't important to ME, but if you want to know let ME know and then I'll let YOU know by putting it in later, but I want to press on so that I get all nice and caught up. LOVELY! I'm trying to find pictures can't you tell? Do you know how many spoilers I find by looking for pictures? It's just ridiculous; I hope you all appreciate the lengths I go to in order to bring you the BEST quality blogs. I really do.

Of course! Another picture of Adam Jensen and his badassness!

I got the pass, got out of the building alive, and now I'm headed off to beat some baddies! It's going to be wonderful! Really, I'm squealing inside. This mission is pretty straight forward. I successfully figure out how to navigate through the enemy infested areas undetected and take out people along the way, looting there stuff, tossing some of it, and looting some more. Actually, I really don't loot that much because his inventory is freakin TINY! Despite this, I manage to lug around a pistol, a combat rifle, a sniper rifle, ammo for all of them, concussion grenades, emp grenades, flash grenades, energy bars, painkillers, and little hacking tidbits. These people need to learn how to expand. I could use the extra space. Off tangent! I get through this ENORMOUS building and get to theeeeee END (picture me saying this in a high voice because it more accurately portrays my excitement). "Why are you so excited?" "Obviously it's because I'm about to meet some really awesome bad guys and see a sweet cut scene and beat some bad guy up and show off Jensen's bad ass skills. Now do you see? Good." AND I DO!!!!

I found one! Not what quite what I was looking for, but it works!

Now that you have seen THAT. I can tell you all about my encounter with the true villains of this story. They are super evil looking. Not really, but fighting ONE of them was a total challenge. At least it was until I figured out to throw stuff at him and blow him up... I should not have such huge gaps in between my blogs and gaming time it really makes this difficult. Anywho, I see three people when I reach my goal in this facility that I do AWESOME sneaking in. Total shadow master. Too bad, these guys see me coming, but this is too be expected because this is a cut scene and Jensen walks straight out to them. One of them is a girl with a strange hair cut, a guy who is the ring leader, and a HUGE beefy guy who ends up kicking the crap out of me... I cringed. Shouldn't have done that, though. Jensen is about to beat your ass!

You poor bastard. You are about to die an incredibly unexpected death even for you.

This boss fight starts with us face to face with only a road block for cover between us. There is plenty of cover all around, but that is right in front of me and obviously the most convenient. I dive for it, and he blasts the thing to pieces with his machine gun arm! You ba****d. I die. Okay, new strategy. I run behind a PILLAR, one that he CAN'T blow apart, and then get shot to death once he rounds it because I think that I can take him with my weeny combat rifle. Fine then, new NEW strategy. I run to the pillar and do the dodge and weave thing that little kids do when they're playing tag around a table. It worked PERFECTLY. I get in some great shots and then have enough time to run all the way across the room to throw a pressurized explosive thing giant-tin-can DEALAMABOB at his face and then blow it up by shooting at it. I WIN! WWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Yes, you being incapable of defeating Adam Jensen is indeed an epic fail.

Now Jensen gets to interrogate him. *face punch* "TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER!" *another face punch* "I EXPECT YOU TO PULL YOUR SORRY SELF TOGETHER AND TAKE ME THERE NOW!" It didn't go like that, really. It was more like Jensen asks him a question and he wheezes an answer through all the blood in his mouth. I think he laughs some too. Then he blows up. One of those explosions that Jensen, being the bad ass that he is, just kind of backs of and watches. Brilliant. Well, we got the info and that brings us one step closer to catching up to where I am in the plot. HURRAY!

What Comes After Mission 2

I curse whoever came up with the idea to right novels based on video games. They are scheming people waiting to make money off of unsuspecting fans and fools. I am one of them. You read these novels and can't help but want to play the game! This is what happened to me after reading a book about Dragon Age. I am VEEEERY tempted to drop Deus Ex and skitter off to replay it. Damn you, game developers! I see what you're doing, but it WON'T WORK! I am dedicated to beating Deus Ex no matter what distractions may try to stop me! Press on!

Now that I have that nonsense all taken care of, let us proceed. It has been a little over a week since I last played, and my memory is just a touch hazy. I'll manage. After the neural hub is secured, Jensen gets another mission. Big surprise! This one consists of breaking into a gangs territory and shutting down a satellite. Thanks, FRANCIS! It really is all his fault, cause he's the one who analyzed the neural hub and got our system INFECTED! Now we are COMPLETELY vulnerable, and all you can do is ask Jensen to fix the problem. You owe us BIG time!

This would be YOU, Francis, if weren't a member of Sarif Industries!

Jensen dutifully heads off to the gang's area, and I can't recall their name, but I think it would sound something like the AUG-Destroyers or We Hate Augmented People or Augmentations SUCK! Obviously, Jensen is not welcome in this area, and they will swarm and attack him on sight; killing him on the spot... What a nightmare. Stealth is key in this mission, and this is the first EVER mission that I go through the entire thing without being detected ONCE! Thank you, I know, I'm amazing; extra experience points, please! Thank you. How did you do it, you ask me? Pure skill. My sneaking skills are the best! Enough about me, though, let's see more about this mission.

You didn't see anything! Jensen is a BOSS!

There a multiple LAYERS to this area, and by layers I mean floors, but on the map they look like layers; plus, it makes it sound yummy like cake! Jensen and I find ourselves near the top of these layers, and we have yet to unlock the augmentation that lets us jump down from any height without killing ourselves. Great... *sigh* I guess we'll just have to opt out for the path that involves knocking out a punch of gangster punks. Too bad for them! I love this game. Did I mention Jensen had to punch through a wall? He did, and in the process grabbed a guy by the head and snapped his neck! His partner didn't even know what happened; he just walks over saying "What happened?" Then looks around like an idiot before I take him out from behind! BOOYAH!

Take that, you fool!

I know what this mission is for, and what the game developers were thinking when they made it. Let's give the players some worthless thing to do to develop their skillz. It worked, and little of the plot was developed. All that really happened was Francis being able to figure out where the signal came from, or something like that. Upon taking out the satellite, trusty pilot Malik arrives to take Jensen to the place where it originated, or something like that. THAT is when the story gets rolling!

I'll save it for another time! I've got things to do like prepare for tests and tests and some teaching stuff and stuff and more stuff. It's really exciting, I assure you! Next post will be AMAZING! You won't be able to read fast it enough it gets so exciting. I know I couldn't play the game fast enough cause I'm not even that FAR!

MISSION 2!!!!!!

Now comes the part where I have unlimited amounts of time to complete whatever tasks I want. Since I always like to get everything else finished up before the main quest, I tend to complete EVERYTHING! Unless I lack the appropriate skills. In my case, it's always hacking. Always...

Let's get going then! You know the guy who shot himself in the head saying "Help.... me...." Mmhmm. Jensen/I is now in charge of going to secure his 'neural hub' also known as the brain. In his case, however, he has one of those cyber brain things. It kinda looks like a memory deal for a computer and there's a place to plug in cords on the outside. Jensen has this too. I keep wondering how that doesn't get filled up with dirt, blood, and crap. It doesn't look like there's any protective covering or anything. Anyway, I have to get into the police station and visit the morgue to get this thing. I WOULD tell you about all of my side mission, but that didn't seem entirely necessary, since it might get kind of boring telling you how I keep going back to the same place like an idiot looking for some bad guys that aren't there. LONG story.

This is NOT the same police station I went into, but I couldn't find another picture. This is what you get.

I'm meet this guy at the front desk. Apparently he had a REALLY bad mission with Jensen, and he got demoted to desk clerk... Sorry, dude. I have nooooo idea what happened, but this guy shot a kid or something and now he blames Jensen for it. They must have been on the same squad back when Jensen was a member of the police force. Lots of mystery there. As we get to talking, I get the chance to persuade him to let me in or I am thoroughly screwed on what to do next. We talk around the mission we were involved in and how angry he is at me blah blah blah. This guy was a piece of cake to read. I gave him the proper replies, he forgives, and I get let into the police station with no one to badger me. Nice.

"Hi. I'm the desk clerk, and it's ALL YOUR FAULT!"

I have no idea how this happens, but I get seriously lost in the police station. I don't know how many times I ended up by the front doors, but had to been over a gazillion times! It took maaaaybe half an hour to remember that I had a map. I am a GENIUS! Plus, I even have a marker on screen telling me where to go... Not my brightest hour, but hey I pissed off a bunch of police officers wondering what the heck I was doing in there. Nobody talks down to Jensen and gets away with it! Then again, it doesn't really matter cause Jensen just DON'T CARE! Playing such a bad ass character is incredibly rewarding.

I successfully make it down to the morgue, have a quick chat with the mortician, and leave with the neural hub. Mission COMPLETE! That was short... I also had to go to the Limb Clinic or whatever, but that was just so I could be introduced to the place that sells stuff for augmentations. Valuable bit of information, though! Jensen doesn't have any degrading of his cells caused by rejection of his augmentations. Hhmmmmmm.... Even his girlfriends stated that his body 'wanted' to be augmented. Looks like it's paying off. No neuropyzine for YOU! Did I mention what that was? Neuropayzine is simply a drug that prevents augmentation rejection in the body. Everyone else needs it to keep from dying a horrible and painful death.... Except Jensen, of course!

This is by far my shortest post ever. Only two pictures!? What is this madness?! I guess the next one will be waaaaay longer in comparison, so look forward to it!

The Technically Mission 1

I've finally decided upon something. You'll be excited I'm sure. I'm not going to play Deus Ex until I've caught up on my blog to the point of where I am in the game. Okay, maybe I won't do that, but it's a thought, so here is the next section of what goes on in the game! Quick memo: I may have repeat pictures, and that's because there are many good pictures out there of this game, but the same ones keep catching my eye. If this DOES happen you can feel secure in knowing that I REALLY like that picture.

Getting all prepped to take out some baddies. Woohoo!

After the nice intro where Jensen gets the crap beat out of him, THAT is when the game TRULY begins. You get the really amazing clips of Jensen being augmented and its REALLY epic. You have to play the game and see it, or you can be cheap and watch it on youtube; either way, IT'S AMAZING! Apparently, this all took place over the time period of six months, and when Jensen returns to work after said amount of time, everyone is really surprised that his recovery was so quick. They also keep saying out it must be hard getting over Megan? his girlfriend's loss. This shocked me. I thought she had been kidnapped or something, and I still DO, but that has yet to be revealed or even confirmed, but for Jensen's sake I hope that I'm right. He was so upset by her loss that he punched the mirror in his apartment and broke it.

Nice TV! I, uh, like your decorating style... Very depressed looking.

His apartment is by far the most depressing place to be in the game. It has this eerie sad music playing whenever you go inside, and it is filled with lots of unopened boxes needing to be unpacked. It definitely makes me feel like this guy has lost something very important to him, and this is something I really appreciate in good story oriented video games. They make the player FEEL something. Jensen's apartment makes you feel sympathetic for Jensen and maybe even some awe at all the hints left in it. I don't know what they are or if they're even there, but I feel like there is something very special about his apartment, like the broken mirror, which is why I took the time to add a picture and paragraph about it. Not about the mirror the APARTMENT! We may be revisiting Jensen's apartment in the future, I don't know; I haven't gotten that far yet.
Right now, Jensen has returned to the work force to do some world saving. He has to infiltrate a facility and save some hostages. Sounds like fun! Be warned, though, if you take to much time dinking around, those hostages are going to die. I was thoroughly shocked when this happened. I thought it was like one of those games that gave you infinite amounts of time to snoop around for however long you wanted. Not this game! Thank goodness that I had saved before all of this. I quick reloaded and sprinted for that helicopter cause I was not letting those hostages die! During the sprint to the chopper a couple important characters were introduced: Malik and Pritchard.

Faridah Malik

Francis Pritchard (I know his picture isn't as cool as Malik's, okay?)

These two people are members of Jensen's TEAM. Malik is the pilot, and Pritchard (Francis) is the cyber security guy. Malik is great and gets along really well with Jensen, like old war buddies. Pritchard, on the other hand, does not see eye to eye with Jensen, but they put up with each other, and DEAR GOD DO NOT GOOGLE HIM! I SWEAR IF YOU DO YOU WILL NO LONGER BE AN INNOCENT INDIVIDUAL. I just lost my innocence a few seconds ago when I googled him... Did you just google him? SERIOUSLY? I weep for your lost childhood. Okay, whatever, I'll get us back on track here since YOU decided to go and google "Deus Ex: Human Revolution: Pritchard." I really enjoy when Jensen and Pritchard have conversations, you can tell that they hate each others guts. Jensen mockingly calls him 'Francis' with extreme emphasis on how girly it sounds. Jensen simply bash talks him about technology and how Jensen isn't really any good as a hacker. I love it.

Back to the mission now! Malik pilots you to the location, and then Jensen gets to go in and take everyone down! This has to be done stealthy, of course, because I want to get as many experience points as possible, and you get extra if you go through the entire level without being detected. I failed... Good practice, though! Anywho, I save the hostages, BOOYA! The whole time I'm saving them is really annoying because I'm hacking into this terminal, right? All they can do is scream, cry, and yell "SAVE ME!" "I'm doing my BEST, alright? Just shut up!" Being the cool guy that Jensen is, however, means that he does not yell at panicking civilians, he simply does his job and gets out of there.

Don't shoot her! Look. I know her voice actor sounds like a man, but don't shoot her, dammit!

Upon saving the hostages you meet the guy in the picture. He is with the anti-augmented people people. You see his eye patch? Apparently he ripped out his own augmentations, one of which was in his eye. Tough dude, and he's SPANISH. I very much like his accent. I forget his name, but he's a cool dude. In the end, I convince him to let the hostage go FOR HONOR because he just doesn't do this kind of crap, and then Jensen tells him to scram. I hope that I'm not confusing you by switching from 'I' to 'Jensen' and then back because basically we are one and the same. Two people. Two separate worlds. One awesome game. The boss is really mad that Jensen and I let this guy go, but what could we do? He had a hostage right? Nah, we just wanted to let him go so that he could dig up more dirt about the cyborg hacker guy who shot himself. Woah... Totally forgot to include that part.

Alright, alright, alright. AFTER saving the hostages and BEFORE meeting with eye patch guy is when Jensen confronts the hacker. This is after sneaking past a bunch of guards and nearly dying and dying several times. After all the hard stuff, Jensen enters the mother room containing all the digital info of that place. Inside is the hacker and Jensen confronts him saying "Put your hands up!" This guy does not do that, instead he picks up a gun, points it at Jensen, and then at himself. Jensen then says "Put the gun down!" and "STOP!" At this point the guy blows his owns brains out, his dying words being a short phrase, "Help....... me......" Very dramatic. THEN after this happens Jensen is all like "Sarif, we have a problem, the guy just committed suicide, and he was up to something. Now what?" SARIF is all like, "There was a what? How could that happen? We'll be sure to get a look at his brain so just go catch that other guy, and by we I mean you." Enough said.

"That bastard!"

Now that all of that is taken care of... FIRST MISSION COMPLETE! I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying this game and its play style. It is definitely not a blast-into-a-room-guns-blazing game; it's more of take-your-time-and-be-strategic game. I HATE strategy games, but this one is good! I love how I have to sneak by guards, cameras, and robots without getting caught. Worse comes to worse you get mobbed and killed or you can crawl into a ventilation system and wait for everyone to forget about you. That has so far been my best strategy. This game is a serious adrenaline rush and you would not be disappointed if you bought it and played it TODAY! As always, thank you for reading and please COMMENT!

All About Augmentations

Basically, augmentations are robotic enhancements to the body. These can be anywhere from brain enhancements to toe enhancements. There you go...................................................................................
...................................................................................................................................................................
...................................................................................................................................................................
I'm just kidding! I'm going to add more than that! Just to let you know, I had to do some research to put this together. LOTS AND LOTS OF RESEARCH!

Grar! Here they come to get you!

I will quote this from Deus Ex Wiki, ehem: "Augmentation is the act of improving a human being by using cybernetics, nanites, and nano-technological implants or psychological conditioning and pharmaceutical drugs, this way creating an advanced super-human, generally much superior to an ordinary one."Sounds FANCY! For your own enjoyment these augmentations come in three classes!

Mechanical

Nanotechnological

Physiopharmaceutical

Do you have any idea how much like a research paper this is? It really is EXACTLY like a research paper. You can hear the joy in my voice, I'm sure. It sound like "guuuuuuh.... *sigh*" This is a labor of LOVE people, so that you know ALL the technical mumbo jumbo going on in this game! I for one don't really care about all the information these people are putting into the game, I try to absorb it through the gaming experience. "Hey! I can punch through walls! Must be a physical augmentation!" "Dude! I hacked through that computer in like 3 SECONDS! That has got to be my brain augmentation!" I also like to call them my "Serious Skills."Different strokes for different folks! I know that there are people who eat up each gaming world and know EVERYTHING about them by all the ingame books and stuff. That's cool, you will be incredibly informed about it, and when you try to talk to me 'deeply' about the game, I'll probably respond with "Adam Jensen totally kicks a**!" Enough of this, though! Here are each of the types of augmentations BRIEF descriptions. Cause that's how I roll.

Mechanical augmentations are the first to go. These augmentations literally replace body parts with super awesome mechanical ones. You can seriously lift dumpsters off the ground with these babies. Trust me, I know from personal experience. I'm reading the wiki here, and these people who made the game REALLY did their research. They're talking all about the central nervous system apposed to peripheral nerves. Good stuff. Soooooooo.... These augmentations are just like your own arms and legs in that you don't need a remote control to move them. That's basically what having them connected to the central nervous system means. Wasn't that informative?!



That's his mechanical augmentation, kids! See how he's about to stab that guy in the back with it?

Next we have the nanotechnological augmentations. Woah, people! Apparently the wiki says that these are the most powerful augmentations out there! In-cred-ib-LE! I did not see that coming. These are augmentations that make you feel like a super hero. They can make you turn invisible, super strong, see in the dark, be immune to electrocution, have energy drained less, and so on and so forth. NEAT! You know it's not all the time that you get all this NEATness in the same place. *teeheeheehee*
Even better is that these augmentations are painless! If there is an augmentation you have been looking for that doesn't involve years of mental and physical therapy from the pain, this is your guy!

I'd hate to be you dude. Actually it wouldn't matter cause I is augmented.

I feel like I'm adding those ridiculous kitty captions to random pictures... except there are no kitties...

NEXT! The shlfkjljselljlksdjlf augmentation is really hard to pronounce and annoying to type. Physiopharmaceutical. THERE! I'm guessing these ones involve BOTH physical and mental watchmacallits. We'll see if I'm right, let me check. ..... okay..... This augmentation is used to brainwash people or make them completely loyal to the person, I guess. It can also completely change the behaviour of said individual and make them NOTHING like they were before. Sad... Side effects may include: albino skin, red eyes, and black hair for some reason. This is a bad guy augmentation plan and simple! Don't mess with it, good people! I have yet to meet one of these people in Human Revolution, though.



I definitely get the "Men in Black" vibe from this guy.

How was that? Was it everything you ever hoped for? Well, if NOT, which I know it isn't, but if NOT, I have added a link to the wiki where I got all my info here: http://deusex.wikia.com/wiki/Augmentation
Enjoy! Happy reading about all that augmentation stuff! I will definitely be giving you an update on my progress in the next post! IT'LL BE SO EXCITING, I KNOW!

Deus Ex: Mission 1

Here it is! What you've all been waiting for! My next blog to take the stand, Deus Ex: Human Revolution! Applause please and thank you. I know! I'm excited too! So let's not take time for introductions, let's just DO IT! Your lucky I haven't gotten very far so all my info should be fresh, and I hopefully won't forget the details. Not like you'd KNOW or anything... right? Tangent, over. Let's roll!

*epic music* Let me tell you this game is as epic as it sounds. I know you can't here it on the blog, okay? But I know that you know how epic it is.

It all starts out in a lab with Adam Jensen aka me! and his girlfriend Megan Reed, who is a super genius making break through scientific discovery stuff. It will CHANGE the world, not that it hasn't changed, because the little intro video with all the conspirator people showed how far technology boomed, and it was a big loud BOOM! I don't know how much of that video I want to give away though... I'll just give you ALL of it, and by all I mean the parts I can remember. So we'll pause where we actually start playing in the game and do a little rewinding. TO.....!

Okay, I'll skip the picture cause I can't find anything for a good intro pic. I describe it in WORDS. It starts out with what I'm thinking is some sort of political power debate involving one of those huge screens where everyone's faces are in their own little cubes and you can't see who they are. *inhale* *exhale* I wasn't totally interested in that, what I was looking at was the digital conversation the guy smoking the cigarette was having with some unknown guy. They were saying things like "You can't get to her, she's untouchable." and cigarette guy replies with "Are you sure about that?" This ***t just got real. At this point my face looks something like this:

Hahaha! You weren't expecting that! I'm just kidding.

My face looked more like THIS:

Yep! This is definitely what I looked like after hearing some bad dudes texting about killing some chick.

Now that we got that covered, we can go back to Adam and his girlfriend. They're chilling in her lab as she gets ready to present her scientific findings to the WORLD! I'm guessing from the intro that people don't want this to happen, that's why Adam made sure everything was secure! Nobody gets past him NOBODY! Except this one guy that beats the crap out of him, but that's for later. At this point she tells Adam about how nervous she is and that her findings could accelerate augmentation and stuff! Sweet deal! Adam, being the good and supporting boyfriend that he is gives her encouragement in the form of "It's just like any other speech." and I'm pretty sure "You can do this." Did I mention his voice actor sounds like Clint Eastwood? Adam Jensen is a total bad a** for more reasons than that! In fact, you'll probably see me writing it a LOT because he is a total bad a**. ANYWAY, the two of you finally head out to go to the presentation, but first she needs to drop off the key to her house with a friend lalalala, and Adam needs to head up to HQ and talk things over with the boss.

David Sarif. The BOSS of Sarif Industries. Bossy butt, actually.

Upon reaching Sarif (I would describe what he's like, but I feel that his picture explains it all), Jensen (Adam) and him decide to go over the security system ONE more time before letting things roll. ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE! Alarms go off. People are screaming bloody murder. The place is a mess! Now it is up to Adam Jensen to take care of business. Of course, his first priority is to figure out where his girlfriend went! Darn you, stupid Megan! I had to scroll up to figure out what her name was, by the way.

This is where the action BEGINS! The player finally gets to move around and DO stuff! I love it! I run around in Sarif's office for awhile until I get tired of him repeating his elevator code to me. I head down to the damage, and boy is it bad! Dead bodies everywhere, and a psycho augmented guy blasting people into the walls like bloody rag dolls. I watch this and think "Am I going to fight that guy? I'm so dead." I troop along anyway! That's what I am! A kicka** trooper! That's how I feel when I play as the character Adam Jensen, he is such a bad a**!

Look at that! He's a bada**!

The intro gameplay is mainly informative, and nothing really difficult occurs for the player. I'll skip it. Finally, I make it to Megan's office and get the crap beat out of me by that augmented ba****d! He throws Jensen through reinforced glass! It's gory as hell! I couldn't believe how graphic it was. I was cringing at the image of Jensen all bloodied up on the floor with shards of glass sticking out all over his body. It makes me shiver just thinking about. OH! And then there's the part when his girlfriend comes to his rescue by dumping a barrel of acid on the other guy. That was wicked! Of course the guy is augmented and can take, so he hits her in the face and I'm pretty sure he shot her after that. Either that OR he kidnapped her to get her research for the bad guys. I'm getting more and more convinced that she's dead, though. The other people keep saying how she's dead, so I'm pretty sure it's safe to say she IS dead, but at the same time I have this FEELING that she ISN'T dead. I don't know, maybe I should have paid more attention to when the guy was beating her up, but Jensen was loosing consciousness at that point and I couldn't see very well. After the girlfriend is dealt with, the bad guy pops a cap in Jensen's head and leaves him for dead... That my friends was the first mission. PREP FOR AUGMENTATION.

I wish that you could see his arms. I really do. Then you could understand why I'm so mortified by this picture.

How'd you like it? My first post in my new blog. Exciting right? GOOD! There is more to come, and I will be following up on this blog to explain to you what augmentations are. I definitely did not explain what those were. I will, though, no worries. Just be patient, and hopefully I won't get swamped with things to do and will be able to update SOON!
