I can't believe there wasn't an achievement for killing that guy with a vending machine. A mean, the whole "Pointlessly tragic" line is just telling the player to do it.
Fun Fact: Ennio Morricone originally intended that this music was used for this specific video, but he had to sell the rights to the song to the creators of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Picture this: A man with several military grade augmentations, who you know to be so deadly he's killed most of the security in your base with a vending machine, running towards you with said vending machine in his grasp.
If I'm being honest: it was in this video like eight to nine years ago that I'd first heard Morricone's amazing music. I'm lucky enough to have enjoyed several movies with his scores now, but this is always going to be special to me 'cause it was my first. Thanks for that!
Huh, the guard comments that a single hit from a vending machine failed to kill him that one time, and when you try it out, it really doesn't. Two hits, though...
But seriously, vending machines and big boxes are unironically great weapons: Work as a shield, can hit several enemies at once, and while it rarely kills in one hit, it stuns pretty good and allows picking back up for the next round
It's... beautiful. The whole time I was watching this I was thinking how with the right augs and enough candy bars you could bring your own cover, and what a weird idea that was How pointlessly tragic.
So I've been rewatching this and decided to take a look at the comments... And realized just how goddamn depressing it is that so many people don't seem to realize where this track is from. I'm so down, I think I'm going to rewatch this again.
geneus I love the end I had to sneak through the vent and run to to lift to avoid all those guys. I didn't upgrade any of my stealth upgrades so I thought I had no need for the candy bars now I see things differently lol.
I wish, newspapers/news reports would include whether/how the guards at locations were taken down. "This afternoon, Tai Yong Medical corporate headquarters was broken into. All the security personnel seems to have been bludgeoned to death with a vending machine. This is Eliza Cassan, reporting to you live from Picus."
Haha, I did the same thing -- had an "oh really?" moment with the death by vending machine banter. But The Ectasy of Gold makes it 1000x better. Hell, the The Ectasy of Gold makes anything 1000x better.
The song is actually the soundtrack to an italian movie, the song is called L'estasi dell'ora" That means the ecstasy of the gold, i just found that very approppriate...
@granollers09 The song, believe it or not, is actually in the title for this clip. The song is called "The Ecstasy of Gold", and Au being the periodic symbol for gold, it's a very clever pun. (Well I thought so anyway)
Getting killed by a vending machine...to this music...even if it weren't Deus Ex I would say, "What a shame." Seriously, with this music I expected Jensen to run into one of the other mercs holding a lemon-lime machine and the two have a stand-off for ten minutes.
I saw some kind of graphic comparing various ways to die vs getting killed by a shark. I think 13 people died a year to vending machines - looks like the number will skyrocket in the future.

Adam stops mid vending machine rampage to shotgun a whole bottle of bourbon in one go.
While still holding the vending machine.
Madlad.
"The good, the bad, and the lemon-lime"
LOL.
I wanted Orange.
*****
But you were given lemon lime >:(

Two hits, though...
I have been watching this video for over five years now. And it still makes me giggle and smile like a little schoolgirl every time I watch it.
One of the Deus ex classic meme videos
This is the single most beautiful thing I've ever seen or heard.
+Lord Vivec I still watch this whenever I lose my way in life...
I feel sorry for whoever has to explain that to their bosses. "We were defeated by a madman with a vending machine, sir."
I can't believe this video is now 7 years old. I still lose my shit every time he stops to drink the whiskey just as the music mounts again.
Immerse yourself in taste! of Blood!
I am now inspired to carry a vending machine wherever I go. Wish me luck people.
Yeah, rip.
Every so often I come back to this video, and it's excellent every time.
But seriously, vending machines and big boxes are unironically great weapons: Work as a shield, can hit several enemies at once, and while it rarely kills in one hit, it stuns pretty good and allows picking back up for the next round
Was reminded of this tonight. Went to watch it. Realized I was just a few weeks late for its ten year upload anniversary XD
They wanted orange soda.
Jensen gave them DEATH flavor, instead.
Death by vending machine, indeed.
Ahhh... good ole fashioned vending machine mayhem with Ennio Morricone's Ectasy Of Gold as the soundtrack. Saving ammo in style!
The guard lying KOd on top of the machine at the end clinched it for me. Best DX video ever made.
It's... beautiful.
The whole time I was watching this I was thinking how with the right augs and enough candy bars you could bring your own cover, and what a weird idea that was
How pointlessly tragic.
Next step in human evolution is to find a candy bar vending machine.
It's actually scary how awesome a weapon that vending machine makes. It seems to stop 99 percent of incoming fire!
So I've been rewatching this and decided to take a look at the comments... And realized just how goddamn depressing it is that so many people don't seem to realize where this track is from. I'm so down, I think I'm going to rewatch this again.
"The good, the bad, and the lemon-lime"
*tear*
I had forgotten where the phrase ‘pointlessly tragic’ had entered my lexicon!
That's a solid pun right there.
the absolute madman, he actually fucking did it
It is best weapon in the game - nobody stand a chance. :)
Vending Machines, Deadlier than a lion, Smarter than a Dolphin and Sneakier than a Badger
LOL, fricking amazing. And major kudos for using Ecstasy of Gold for the soundtrack.
adam jensen, god of caber-tossing.
Love this video, but didn't get the pun in the name until very recently. Fantastically done.
Bahaha that's awesome...even the music seems appropriate.
"Au"... Oh. I bow to your punmanship good sir. Quenting Tarantino himself could not find better use for this Morricone.
Ennio Morricone's "The Ecstasy of Gold" Definitely 'Augmented' that video.
When I was halfway through this video, I expected you to beat the penthouse ambush with a vending machine. I wasn't disappointed.
"What's that?!" "It's a vending machine, duh."
one of the main reasons i invested in strength perk. vending machines too op.
Gives new meaning to the phrase "coked up".
Damn, those guards really immersed themselves in the taste.
This Summer!
Rob Schneider thought being a vending machine is easy...
...but he's about to find out it's not as easy as it seems!
The perfect crime fighting duo.
I salute you, sir, with tears in my eyes.
Taking it to another level of awesomeness.
even now, 12 years later, how pointlessly tragic is part of my every day vernacular
"How pointlessly tragic."
AKA "What a shame."
geneus I love the end I had to sneak through the vent and run to to lift to avoid all those guys. I didn't upgrade any of my stealth upgrades so I thought I had no need for the candy bars now I see things differently lol.
I've got myself a new video for my favorites list and you've got yourself a new subscriber.
Sweet jesus, that pun. Kudos.

"This afternoon, Tai Yong Medical corporate headquarters was broken into. All the security personnel seems to have been bludgeoned to death with a vending machine. This is Eliza Cassan, reporting to you live from Picus."
It's a helluva thing, immersing a man in taste...
Sergio Leone. Mad props.
Actually Ennio Morricone's score FOR Sergio Leone's 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.' ;)
"so tell me mister jensen, what weapon is the weapon of your choice too kill?"
"a vending machine"o_o
Haha, I did the same thing -- had an "oh really?" moment with the death by vending machine banter. But The Ectasy of Gold makes it 1000x better. Hell, the The Ectasy of Gold makes anything 1000x better.
A man and his vending machine of death. Story of the generation right here.
this is a work of art
i've seen the exact same thing done by 5 other people, but none of them were this awesome.
The song is actually the soundtrack to an italian movie, the song is called L'estasi dell'ora" That means the ecstasy of the gold, i just found that very approppriate...

The part with the whiskey was priceless.
Too bad you cant put this vending machine in your inventory, it would the most effective weapon on most enemies XD
Major respect (*salutes* MAJOR RESPECT!) for pulling this off. What was the difficulty?
That vending machine's taste is augmented.
Gunther Hermann would be so proud of you, Adam.
NUKA COLA! Wait, wrong game...
Excellent vendmanship.
My god, man. That was beautiful.
Adam didn't give a shit about any of those bad guys. He just wanted a vending machine for his apartment.
Vending machines are a deadlier weapon than guns could ever be.
You have inspired me to do another playthrough of this game on Give Me Deus Ex mode using nothing but thrown objects.
Amazing man.
I can picture Fedoriva, Namir and Barret destroying a vending machine Office Space style. :)
It's so beautiful !
I guess he threw that vending machine because it gave him what he didn't ask for.
I don't even want to think about how many Pro energy bar's were used to do this.
They told me I could never lift that vending machine. They died in a pathetically tragic way.
"I did it all for you, Gunther."
That was so goddamn beautiful.
34 people didn't immerse themselves in taste
In the future, the most deadly weapon will also give you refreshing beverages.
I don't know if I should like or fear this.
Now someone HAS to do a vending machine-only run.
O man that title pun. You sir are a king among men.
1:02 "Dear God, he has a vending machine!"
This is the greatest video ever uploaded to youtube, ever.
Pure genius and awesome epicness!
"Maybe they left because of the soda selection."
Getting killed by a vending machine...to this music...even if it weren't Deus Ex I would say, "What a shame."
Seriously, with this music I expected Jensen to run into one of the other mercs holding a lemon-lime machine and the two have a stand-off for ten minutes.
I demand a lets play where the only weapon used is anything you can pick up and throw!
this is incredible i love you
Weighted companion vending machine ?
I saw some kind of graphic comparing various ways to die vs getting killed by a shark. I think 13 people died a year to vending machines - looks like the number will skyrocket in the future.
That vending machine has balls of steel.
ONE MAN, ONE MACHINE the new blockbuster from paramount pictures.....
I SERIOUSLY thought about doing that during this part, but not to this extent... lol you took it to the extreme and I ate the bait... lol good stuff
How pointlessly tragic.
Also, props on using the theme for The Good The Bad and The Ugly
That was....beautiful.
I wonder how many people have resisted the urge of doing that, honestly.
Who needs guns when there's a vending machine right around the corner
this deserves to go viral
