Deus EX and a solid workout (for once)

So I bought the game Deus Ex.
It is an awesome game.  but the really cool thing about it is that it offers you several ways to go about beating the game.  At the end, there are several ending you can have, depending on the press of a button. Aside from the really cool endings and the alternate paths you can take to accomplish the objectives, the story is really good.  The story flows very well and is believable.  Some video game stories don't feel right, like they try and fit to many plot twists in, or the plot twist is not a twist but a 180 jump.  With Deus Ex the twists are, not easy to guess, but easy to accept. .

The graphics are amazing and the style in which they are presented goes well with the game.  most of the game play takes place at night or around sunset,  so there are alot of subdued colors.  this gives the game a slightly edgy feel and makes the game tense.  there are other games that try to make you feel tense, but it doesnt always work, with Deus Ex the story fits with the style which fits with the sound and makes it an all around great game.


WORKOUT!!!!
I was finally able to get a good workout in.  To me a good workout is one in which I feel tired afterward, yet invigorated.  I think the difference between this one and what i have previously been doing is that this one i did a slightly longer cardio.  recently my cardio has been lack luster, this one i did around 20 mins, which felt great.  For the weights I did clean and press with the sand bag, then squats and finally some hammer swings with the tire.  I did all of this in a circuit so there was minimal rest until after i completed all of the exercises.

But it felt really good. I will be doing more of that rotation, just because i know that i can do it and it felt good.

next cardio thing: STAIRS
