Alas no Pinky & the Brain but a scientist who was willing to spill the gossip on Belltower if I could save her arse. Making my way back through the prison complex & Burke has now become aware of my presence (maybe it was the dead bodies littered all over the facility that gave me away). How does he react? like every evil bastard he decides to gas the prisoners & my Edward Snowden scientist.
"You must choose, Sheriff Jenson, Prisoners or Scientist?"
Hint - There is a way to save them both which is what I did.
I expected Burke to be a boss fight like the main game but I sneak onto the top of his cabin & drop a gas grenade in through the roof. Job Done. Catch the next express freight service to Hengsha.
Missing Link completed.
Deus EX HR – Missing Link
Tied to a chair getting beaten to a pulp. Who are you? Why are you here?
Meh! Yeah like I'm really going to tell you?
After the cut scene your shackles mysteriously unlock & you are free to roam around.
Missing Link tells the story of what happened to Jenson when he hid in the freight container during the main game.
I like the way everything resets you have no skills & no weapons. It's all hand to hand combat until you can loot the soldiers.
Set on a ship I got a very Metal Gear Solid vibe especially when outside & the rain is lashing down.
All I needed was a cardboard box & some cigarettes.
Keitner (the lady who was punching me earlier) is the one who set me loose. She is a double agent & wants to gather evidence against BellTower.
When you find your armour you are also gifted seven piraxis points. I immediately went for the hacking upgrade to level 5 & punch through wall ability. Later I unlocked the jump higher ability & extra carrying limit. There are quite a few levels on the various maps & lots of hidden paths to loot areas.
I've spoken to Keitner who has uploaded my biometrics to the security servers to give me access to the prison area where I find out that BellTower are conducting experiments on the prisoners.
I now need to get hold of an artificial eye to gain access to a hidden lab. Hopefully I'll find Pinky & the Brain planning to take over the world.
Team Fortress 2: a great community
I felt like playing an online shooter, but I'm not sure where my copies of various Halos are and I've not bought a Call of Duty game since number 2 (and that was in Portuguese). I've completed Portal a number of times and have made my way half-way through Half-Life 2 (as described the last time I wrote about it - the last bit I remember was playing with Alyx's dog and then being separated from her by a tunnel collapsing, but that was a good few months ago), but have never played Team Fortress 2. I decided to change that.
I'm really glad I did. The game's not particularly friendly to newcomers, with the different classes seeming bewildering, but I decided to just jump in and try to work it out as I went. Of course, this meant that I died a lot, but that just meant I could experiment more with different playing styles.
I quickly realised that the best class for me was the pyromaniac, which was surprising since in most games I don't like getting up close to enemies. The pyro has an advantage in that the weapon - a flamethrower - doesn't need to be completely accurate, though it relies on an extended contact with enemies.
I also played a few games with the spy, which was great fun - trying to act like a member of the other team in order to prevent getting discovered, while sneaking in to the base to steal the documents.
The thing I found most difficult was learning the maps. I only played on two different areas, one with two forts with identical mazes within (on which I played capture the flag), and one where the idea was to make progress through the level. I was on the losing team on every game but one, and I can't help but feel my participation may not have helped on that.
The thing that struck me most about the game was the community. Everyone was playing as a team, not boasting about kills, and a couple of people actively helped me - I managed to get the documents back to our base while two others protected me. I said thanks, they told me I was welcome.
Deus Ex Human Revolution – Completed
I have not played the earlier Deus Ex games but if they were anything like Human Revolution then I pray for a HD remake so I can play them. Everything from the soundtrack, combat, stealth, hacking to the character voices was spot on.
I eventually unlocked all the abilities earning enough experience points & purchasing piraxis kits.
So many choices throughout the game that effect the outcome of the plot & none more so than your final decision.
If I had more time I would definitely play the game again to try and earn one of the more difficult achievements & see the alternative endings.
This game is so enjoyable that it has to be added to the Top list taking the number to 34.

Deus Ex Human Revolution – Faridah Malik
Died, load latest save...
Dead again load latest save...
Giant robot .... oh fu....c..$£!!...Dead
I've spent quite a bit of time with Deus EX HR since my last post, thoroughly enjoying Hengsha & discovering it's secrets. Taking a quick stop at Montreal before arriving back at riot stricken Detroit.
Along the way I have upgraded quite a bit of my abilities now including stealth, typhoon & punch-through-wall skill.
After Detroit the story takes you back to Hengsha. Upon your arrival the helicopter is shot & forced to land. Faridah then comes under attack from soldiers & asks you to run for the exit.
Did I? I take you back to the beginning of my post.... Died, load last save.
