  • Play Deus Ex in 2022 With Vanilla-Friendly Mods | Just do These Three Things

    You only need three things to play Deus Ex on modern PCs 1. Kentie’s Launcher Kentie’s Launcher replaces your DeuEx.exe file with a new one. Download Kentie’s Deus Ex Launcher here: kentie.net/article/dxguide/ Download required Visual Studio 2015 runtimes: vcredist_x86.exe Drag and drop this into your Deus EX\System directory Overwrite files Note, I’m using a dark theme on Windows, so it’ll look a little different.   2. DirectX or openGL? If you are on Windows (or are ok using DirectX on Linux) you can use the DirectX 9 settings for a moody atmosphere similar to the original game. If you want perhaps better contrast but slightly less dramatic lighting, OpenGL works well. For either you need to tweak the ini files. Here are the files: Direct3D9: Direct3D9 renderer version 1.3 for Deus Ex: dxd3d9r13.zip Open GL: Version 2.1 for Deus Ex (works with Deus Ex version 1112fm): dxglr21.zip See all the options here: www.cwdohnal.com/utglr/ Pick your favorite version and drag and drop it into your Deus Ex\System folder (you can put them all in there and try each with the launcher): Next, you need to tell the launcher which renderer to use. If you click on DeusEx.exe and then click on …

  • Blizzard Mocks EA and Pay-to-Win Microtransactions In New Video

    Blizzard, right on the heels of the EA turmoil, has released a commercial for now free to play StarCraft II. The timing is interesting but Blizzard was surely working on this before the EA drama on Reddit. Here is the video: Blizzard is an AAA developer and they are damn good at making money. This puts them in an interesting position. They have spoken out against pay-to-win and will now be held to that standard by the community. Whenever a developer/publisher as large as Blizzard releases something free I am always looking for the catch. It looks like StarCraft II will support itself with micro-transactions including announcers, cosmetic upgrades, and a few heroes that can be used in co-op or single player (as to not give you an competitive edge). There hasn’t been and forced grinding to entice you to pay to unlock items, characters, etc. (as is all the rage with AAA publishers these days). I think the commercial is pretty funny, but that’s me. I have to continue to play the cynic. This is a “good-guy” move that merely is pandering to the crowds at this point. It will surely garner then zillions of upvotes, and that shows …

  • Rise & Shine OR How I Learned to Hate Robots | First Look

    jkhunisdfxzcrv nsdvzxa jkmnhsdzxvjnkmazsdxehjnkb jkhdfvgxc ujihndfvgxjnhuki;izscdvx That’s the result of me smashing my head against my keyboard as I once again try to beat the same boss for the 86th try.  Rise & Shine, the latest from Adult Swim Games and Super Awesome Hyper Dimensional Mega Team, is a solid side scrolling cover shooter that is also a magical little slice of hell.  If you’re the kind of gamer that really enjoys hard games, this is probably up your alley.  In the game you play as Rise, a kid who lives in classic video game land.  The land is invaded by next gen consoles and space marines are laying waste to everything with their advance lvl. 999 robots.  Along with your partner Shine, a sassy gun who grants infinite lives, you must battle through screen after screen and boss after boss of invaders to save everything. So admittedly, I’m not a fan of super tough devil games like Dark Souls and whatnot.  I like enjoying the play through and not  having to spend hours going up against the same boss over and over.  Rise & Shine however, had enough a entertaining story line to keep me trying the same boss fight …

  • Morrowind Makes a Comeback?! | ESO Announcement

    That’s right – Elder Scrolls fans will rejoice after hearing they can re-experience some of Morrowind in Elder Scrolls Online. According to Bethesda, outside of a new location to the game, players can also expect a new player class, a PvP mode (which they’re calling Battlegrounds), a trial and much more. I know a lot of people, including myself, were kind of discouraged with the direction of Elder Scrolls Online initially but from what I’ve heard from friends – the last few updates and additions have made the game quite enjoyable. For those playing, what do you think of this? And for those not currently playing – do you think you’ll install the game for another journey through Morrowind? Let me know in the forums!
