Rant 841 / Deus Ex: Human Revolution Is Like The 21st Century Remake Of RoboCop

Deus Ex: Human Revolution starts out kinda like Robocop - guy working in the security field meets bad guys, sustains injuries that should have killed him but is saved by machine parts that effectively turns him into a cyborg.

Except in DEHR, the cyborg protagonist is much more human than RoboCop.










So E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy is a game based on the Source engine. I can feel the Source everywhere in the game, from the loading screen to the sound of the footsteps.

Not a bad game. Like in the trailer, there are always multiple ways to get to your objectives if you made your "avatar" more than just a fighter.

Then again, there are at least 2 ways you can complete your missions with brute force - guns or the blade. There are 7 types of weapons and a whole bunch of bladed weapons to choose from, so it doesn't get boring.

Furthermore, there are entire lists of psychic and hacking abilities to choose from if you decided to make your avatar more of the thinker.

So far I've only completed the prologue where I left the dream and got back to the base or something. There was no need for abilities due to the ease at which the rifle I chose picked off the enemies.

Might get harder in the future definitely, so we'll see how useful my psi abilities can get.

At the moment I've only tried using the Polycloning ability that is the sci-fi version of the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (aka Shadow Clones) from the Naruto anime. If I heard right, the game even uses the same sound effect for it.

I'm mainly a psychic guy right now but my class is listed as "Equilibrium Fist" which means my stats are rather evenly spread. Everyone begins with this class despite the Gene Fusion thing when I created this guy.













I wish I had a "faggot dog" like that :\

So cute, so... troll-ish.









My drain clogged. Okay, it's not my personal bathroom's drain but the one next to my turtle and washing machine. It's choked and not draining at all while everything else is fine.

My plunger broke from my heavy usage today.

I also bought a plumber's snake (manual type) but whatever is clogging it seems to be pretty hard.

It's weird. It's definitely not caused by my turtle; I always pick out the hard stuff like the translucent shedded shell pieces and larger foodscraps like vegetables (I don't worry about bread) before changing the water.

Weird. I have no idea what could be clogging it. The drain even has a filter on which I mentioned in past rants (about cleaning it) so it's also not the washing machine.

Anyway, I'm currently looking at random plumber websites on Google. Not so good. Apparently plumbers here, though cheaper than those in other countries like Australia, aren't always reliable. Nevertheless I'll need one. Probably will cost between S$60-100 since it cannot be a major problem.

For this issue, I have to list a number of things I consider myself fortunate for:

1) No stick of fecal matter floated out when I used my plunger/snake. I saw that once back in NS when I escorted the handyman to clear a clogged sewer. It floated up, an entire stick, up into the pool of clear sewage water that had backed up the drain, then slowly moved back into the drain.

I will never forget it for my entire life even though it's not exactly the most disgusting thing ever. It was just... so damn weird. I can still recall how everyone just stood there and watched in utter silence.

2) It did not stink. I know how terrible things can smell when it comes to sewage. Also from experience during NS. Half a pump room filled with sewage and left to ferment over a weekend. Enough said.

3) None of the other parts of the sewer pipe was clogged. Both the bathrooms and the kitchen sinks are perfectly alright.

I'm glad about all these. Got to be positive in life, ya?























So I decided to make full use of the skincare samples finally.

On my face, of course. Did you really think I was serious about using the Hado Labo moisturizer on my balls?

My first time rubbing such stuff on face for sooooooo long like a sissy. Or a girl.

First was the Bio-essence Nutri-Collagen & Whitening Advancer.

The directions stated that I was supposed to massage it on my face till it was fully absorbed.

Holy crap that took so long I thought my hands were going to peel or swell.

I've also heard that such stuff was supposed to be rubbed between my palms for a few seconds to warm it up to allow for easier absorption. Did that too.

Next was the Hado Labo thing. Same treatment. There was so much of it I spilled some, but I don't think they would have put multiple doses in a single packet. But I have to say there was too much of it, probably enough for 2 faces.

During all the massaging, one question did come to mind:

Does static electricity affect the chemicals in the products? Electrolysis or something?


Also been taking a stick of this Avalon Fish Collagen sample for the last two nights. Three sticks, one per night. Tonight's the final stick.

Not easy to swallow. That powder sticks to my tongue so hard that it cannot be swallowed dry.

No effect so far of course. These things aren't frickin miracles; I'm still as fugly as ever.

But nobody was going to use them. Tried giving one of the samples to my bro and his gf, but they're not into these things like me.
