Deus Ex: The Fall mobile game gets HD PC reboot

The word on the cybernet is that Deus Ex: The Fall is coming to the PC.

That’s right, the game that was originally ‘for’ the dataphone will soon be playable on your vidscreen. I’m doing a future-talk thing, stay with it.

On the 25th of March (in the future), Square Enix is releasing the game via Steam for £7.99 (799 cybercredits).

DX:TF follows Ben Saxon, a former British SAS mercenary (future division), who had some augmentations and wants to find out what the deal is with some future drugs that are needed by augmented humans. However, [conspiracy redated]. In a race against time, he must neuroblast some cybertroops before the future president does whatever.

TES: Online voice cast to be led by John Cleese

Probably old news now, but I wanted to pass it on anyway, because it’s cool.

I haven’t paid a great deal of attention to The Elder Scrolls online, because I’m not paying monthly to play it. Not happening, unless days begin sprouting a lot more hours.

I also didn’t expect much in terms of plot or character, which for me is the point of an RPG. However, it becomes clear from this voice cast that there will be some substance to the game, however loosely built the plot structure is.

Of Muffins and Mirrors

This is, I’m pretty sure, the way to do it.

Keyboard, screen, internet, hot chocolate and muffin.

A little smooth coffee shop jazz, to absorb the sussurations of other beverage worshippers.

Note to self- Evernote doesn’t have sussuration, worshippers, jazz or even internet in it’s dictionary. How quaint. Perhaps WordPress was the way, but no going back now.
