Deus Ex: Human Revolution started off a bit slow, guiding you through the mechanics and story at first, but once you are let loose into the city to wander, things pick up. Lots of talking to people, hacking doors and computers, uncovering conspiracies and so forth. Good stuff.
To celebrate this week's release of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, we'll be giving away a few copies on our
official Twitter feed, so if you haven't picked up your copy yet (be aware,
Gamestop will rob you of your OnLive code) then here's your chance.

Oh what a snooze fest that was! Wrapping up a long week with some good sleep always reinvigorates me, and it had to be done last night.
There was a food truck gathering in town last night, so we went out there and got ourselves some tasty grub. We wanted to get some ahi tuna rolls, but the line was so long that by the time we were up, they had just sold out of the item. The person right in front of us snagged the last ones. The nerve!
Today, we'll run some errands, but most of our time will be spent bumming around, watching DVR and playing video games, just the way we like it!

Home Sweet Home!
We made it back safe and sound, although when we were boarding the second leg of the flight, it didn't look like it. All of a sudden, the security people were doing spot-checks at the gate — only looking for a male, it seems — and three agents were scanning the crowd for somebody. It made everybody in line quite uneasy!
Today also marks our ninth wedding anniversary, so props go to my better half for putting up with my antics for all these years, and hopefully many more to follow! :)

To take a break from all the APB Reloaded madness, we've been checking out a few other F2P titles this weekend, such as Combat Arms, and 14-day trials of
Earthrise and
Darkfall. Later today, GamersFirst plans to relaunch
Fallen Earth as free to play, so that's next.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes and
Real Steel are two movies that initially didn't really capture my attention, but as their launch is drawing closer, the new trailers have managed to grab my interest, so they're now high on my to-watch list.
Next week, we're attending the advance screening of
Final Destination 5. While we've seen a few of the previous installments, I dropped out after the third movie, so I guess we'll have to brush up on the fourth one before we head out.
