Greetings Watchers
Ahh, the summer holidays are almost here. I can start getting into my backlog in all earnesty! The first of these, is most definitely Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
I just thought I'd post an hilarious real-life coincidence after my first hour of playing with it.
I'd just completed the first Adam Jensen mission and was just starting to upgrade my hacking augmentations so that I could start going the hackity hack on all of those locked upper office doors. Anyway, I save my game and get up to make a coffee when the phone rings. I pick up and I get the following asian-middle eastern accented female who says:
"Excuse me, is this the residence of Mr B?"
Me: "Yes, speaking."
"This is Kiko calling from CyberHack Systems. We're calling about your computer sir, you do have a computer right, Mr B?"
Me: (knowingly) "Yes, would you like me to call the Australian Federal Police so that we can discuss the matter further?
*Klick* (hangs up)
Unfortunately, I couldn't think of anything JC Denton like to respond with. But after I hung up, I couldn't stop laughing at the irony.
These types of scam callers (i.e please download event viewer so we can steal your private information...) are becoming quite brazen and alarmingly more frequent near where I live. I know many people who have received phone calls from similar companies like them.
But as to the game, I'm quite enjoying it so far, even if it did take me awhile to warm to the graphical style. Just doing a few side-quests for the moment, before attempting to get into the police station for the second main quest. My approach is going to be traditionally humanist in nature: Attempt to get by utilising as few augmentations as possible. Should be interesting.
One more thing: Is it just me, or does Adam Jensen bear a slight resemblence to the MMA fighter (ex UFC) Jon Fitch? Ha, it seems I'm not the only one who thinks so: http://mmalinker.com/forum/jon-fitch-is-adam-jensen-t83557.html
