Feature: InsaneBear’s 2011 Game of the Year
Another year, another reflective diary entry on how many social opportunities I sacrificed for video games…wait, that’s not right! No: this is a celebration of what has probably been the best year of games since 2007. So let’s get down to business and start with the InsaneBear tradition of looking back on the previous year’s games and re-evaluating our opinions in hindsight.

The Deus Ex series is one that is defined by choice. Games that are revered for allowing you to play the way you want to. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is no exception to this rule and allows you a level of freedom not seen in many games today. It truly lets you decide how to play. However, while Human Revolution delivers on big promises such as choice-driven gameplay and an engrossing, believable vision of the future, it often falters on some of the more technical aspects: long load times, poor animations, and spotty AI can temper the otherwise fantastic experience of playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

The fools! They should have destroyed his shades while they had the chance. Everybody knows they’re the source of Jensen’s power.
Author: CodyReactions: Deus Ex “Missing Link” DLC due in October
Square Enix says that it’s about a missing three day chunk in the main game, but I like to think that’s just code for “Adam Jensen goes to a Halloween party populated by prominent evolutionists and creationists and must use his comical ‘missing link’ costume to break the ice and ensure a good time is had by all.” The DLC’s ability to “rebuild Adam’s augmentation set” (aka: redistribute augmentation points) supports my costume theory. It’s unclear whether the missing link rocks the shades or not.

The view from our quarters.
Yaarrr!!! Join us from our new high seas abode maties as we talk about video games. Revel in the absurd amount of unnecessary sea-faring puns while we discuss what we’ve been playing, the news of the (past couple) weeks, and the point of video games, media, and art in general. That’s right, we get real deep down in the murky depths for this week’s discussion. So help us break in our new house boat by listening to this jaunty high seas adventure of a podcast.
Author: RyanTrailers: Refresh yourself on what Deus Ex: Human Revolution is all about
I’m particularly interested in the sophisticated environmental investigation maneuvers.
Author: CodyTrailers: Deus Ex stealth diary
Hmm, thanks for that very informative video detailing the pillars of stealth! I never would have guessed it’d involve staying out of sight, being quiet, and using invisibility cloaks. It’s so simple that Mr. Jensen probably stealths his way around the mall and swipes Ray Bans and hair gel during his spare time.
