Deus Ex Recycling

Who needs guns when you have trash to throw

 

When I started Deus Ex: Mankind Divided up for the third time (previous two times having failed on average computers. This is not a game for average computers) I was amazed at the sheer. amount. of. stuff everywhere. Forget ammo, recycling trash is where it’s at. And the stuff is not just lying there, it’s all stuff you can interact with!

If you want to distract a guard you don’t need to limit yourself to a trash can or vending machine. You can choose any one of the coffee cups or archive boxes lying around. You can kick things. You can knock things over with your butt. It’s awesome!

Deus Ex: making recycling cool.

Video Games VS Real Life

This is real life: don’t try it at home

In video games it’s easy to make friends. You walk up to a person, press ‘x’, and BAM they’re telling you their life story.

In real life there is no ‘x’ to start a conversation. You must be charming and suave all on your own. Seeing as how most of us can’t progress past “Lovely weather we’re having today…” or “Gosh the bus is late.”, it seems our quests will never be finished.

NEVER MIND. I’m lazy and don’t need the XP anyway.

Deus Ex Moving Day: different location same messy apartment

Our protagonist, Adam Jensen, is a creature of habits. So when he moved from Detroit to Prague he made sure his apartment was just as home-y as it was before. Unpacking? Why unpack when everything is already neatly organised:

Where’s the remote? In a box.

Where’s the underwear? In a box.

Where’s the breakfast cereal? In a box.

Simple.
