Last exam was today, which is nice. Lots of work to do over these next few weeks!
But for now, I’m playing Deus Ex. Why? Because there is no other game where you’ll end up in a conversation with a bartender, and be presented with these options:
- Give me a drink.
- I’m looking for Max Chen.
- The separation of powers acknowledges the petty ambitions of individuals; that’s its strength.
There is a simply terrific analysis of all of the books and notes you can find in the game, written by Stephan Lavavej. It’s fantastic reading, but only after you’ve finished the game. Maybe one day I’ll go over the chunkier conversations and annotate them myself.
