Hands on gameplay of Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut for the Nintendo Wii U

Nintendo UK catches up with gamers at The Gadget Show Live 2013 to find out what they think of Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director’s Cut on Wii U.

The video shows how the map, inventory screen and skill tree are all accessible on the gamepad without the need to bring them up on the main screen.

Along with reworked boss battles, this will be one of many features exclusive to the Wii U version, dubbed Director’s Cut.

Releases sometime 2013

i don’t think i’ve ever agreed with anything more than what this man is saying

watch this. seriously

yes yes yes yes yes

this is amazing

this guy is so sick

I needed this right now. Anyone taking finals needs this right now.

I’m about to turn 30. I could have been valedictorian when I graduated High School but I was too lazy to complete the forms. I have a Bachelor’s from DeVry, where I left with an average 3.2 carrying an average course load of 18 credit hours (peak 24, nadir 14). I also have an Associate’s from a local college, and I am Phi Theta Kappa there.

Here’s what I can tell you.

No employer has ever asked for my GPA. No employer ever gave a SHIT about my grades. DeVry only cared about my ACT score, and my Bachelor’s lost me jobs because I was “overqualified”. Now that I’m using my Associate’s, no one cares about my grades, or degree. My employer cares about A) my hours, B) my practical quals.

Unless you’re pushing for the Ivy League, no one is going to care about your grades. Ever. Amen. So I say to you this: 3.0 or above works for most but honestly, just get a good score on your ACT or SAT (and remember, you can retake it!). College is not a guarantee of a good life or even a paycheck. If anything it’s a near-guarantee of crippling debt.

THAT DOES NOT MEAN DO NOT GO, but for god’s sake do your research on your degree. Know what to expect. Colleges are marketing departments and will tell you sweet lies to get your money because college doesn’t care and won’t coddle you.

DO SOMETHING THAT YOU LOVE. Find a way to make money in a way that you enjoy. It might not be the thing you enjoy most, but if you like it and it pays for what you enjoy most, well. That might be good enough.

Read. Travel. Take risks. Fuck up, try again. But enjoy it.

Godspeed.

whoneedsfeminism:

I need feminism because a game company has created one of the most dynamic and interesting characters in all of gaming, replete with a complex personality, realistic actions and reactions, changing and nuanced motives, and genuinely superb mocap/voice acting…AND this character happens to be female.

…yet the main thing that gamers on game forums are discussing is her cleavage. (an most of that “discussion” is just complaints that she should have worn this cleavage-revealing dress throughout the whole game)

Don’t get me started on the gamers who thought her brutal torture scene was hot. Ugh.

Not once i’ve read a comment about her cleavage…

do most american world maps seriously have america in the centre?

WE DO HAHAHAHA

Are you fucking kidding me.

In Chinese maps, Asia is in the center. Which nation is centralized depends on the map’s origins.

In Canada, our maps are cut through the Pacific, so we don’t offend anyone.

sometimes i feel like canadian stereotypes go too far and then this happens

I never realized but maybe our Canadian maps are cut that way because we just use the UK map and the UK wanted to be in the centre of their map too :’|

GAMER BIBS

Maybe I’m posting these gaming-themed baby bibs because my wife and I are expecting our second child and maybe, because I already have the diapers to match, I’m secretly hoping that someone will buy one of these for our new bundle of joy.

Regardless, that doesn’t take away the fact that these bibs from Gamer Mom Creations are too cute for words!

Each bib is only $6.20 and some of the designs on the bibs actually come on onesies as well, which are only $10 more.

All of these designs can be found in Gamer Mom Creations Etsy.
