Raithe

As I remember they also had a rather intense gay love scene in it. The reason being, when they were shopping it around and got questioned on those elements, they'd actually know if people had read it or not and could then decide to work with people who cared enough to fully read a script not just the synopsis.

I've been playing through DE: Human Revolution the Director's Cut. First time I've actually sat down to see how it shapes up with the tweaks and all. The Barret fight was definitely a nicely re-done thing, unfortunately the rest weren't that great. Nothing really noticeable with Federova's, and while the map for Namir's fight has been extended and gives you more options in the way of potential hacking or stealth, the frantic pace of his attacks tend to limit you from noticing it the first time around. At least until he's dead and then it's all "Oh, I could have used that." I will say that if you run it with the Documentaries turned on, there are quite a few interesting tidbits on how and why things came to be in the game. Although there does seem a rather running theme of "we had this sketched out" or "half the map was done" or "this was planned for x.." only to have to be cut , dropped, or merged with something else due to time constraints. In fact a couple of the odd glitches in dialogue happened because the final passes for the writing team were done and then things got slightly altered on level design and things get shifted around, and not everything was tidied up and followed through on. Although now I'm a wee bit frustrated, got to about 10 minutes from the end of the game and now I keep crashing out due to a memory error, then finding my save won't load so I have to re-load from about 20 minutes before.. only to have it crash around the same point. I shall have to ponder on this.

Hm, I'm trying to decide whether I want to support future Hitman games by buying "The Full Experience" now, or disliking how they've broken it up into chapters for the upcoming year and waiting to see how it shapes up... Decisions, decisions.

Well, it's kind of funny, because its true.

I have to admit, the various "director commentaries" from the team on Deus Ex: HR are quite interesting for the most part.

Cipher is actually quite decent once you have a couple of the level 2 abilities. At least I find it quite efficient to mow down enemies with.

Going for the cheap shots once again...

Decided to have a wander back and re-try Deus Ex: HR the Director's Cut. That balance of questing to see what's new while half-remembering what was in it the first time around...

My Crombie has decided to start showing signs of its age, and has lost two buttons and had an inner seam split. While I could technically sew the repairs myself, I know that my skills would mean it would get done, but not in a great manner, and a Crombie deserves a lot better than that. So I shall have to find a decent tailor that will repair it. Out of curiosity I went to see what a new Crombie would cost these days. Heh. The Clearance sale tends to have them at £450-600... Yes, I think repairs not replacement are definitely in order.

Trying to get back into a Pillars of Eternity run. Managed to get to Cead Nua, but I seem to only be able to play short burst of it at a time. Not sinking chunky game time in like I did when I first sat down to it.

It was a good show, they had that nice arc to the first season that as you said did kind of wrap up. They did leave a few things hanging and open for the 2nd season to pick up, but alas, we won't see it. It was actually a slight flip around of a show called New Amsterdam a few years back, an immortal who ends up a homicide detective who worked with a medical doctor.. Anyhewt, it's kind of interesting how many series these days seem to involve some variation of an Englishman with strange powers teaming up with an attractive American cop and saving lives in a quirky manner. Forever, Sleepy Hollow, Elementary, Lucifer...
