    Far Cry 2 absolutly rocks

    Im not gonna write a review or anything, my opinion on this great game though is, one should really try it. Sure the world is not s “free” and “destructible” as claimed pre-launch.

    But it is a great looking game in a very nice scenery. There is a few things one could argue about in the game, like the respawn timer on guard posts, personally i dont find it that hard to get around them. What i do hate is, they have vegetation in the game, but its useless for cover against the NPCs, they see right through it :(

    Currently im ~56% complete with the single player main quest, but i fancy taking side mission for diamonds, so i can buy and try all weapons :)

    Anyways, here is a gallery of screen shots i have taken so far in-game, there might be spoilers, so now you are warned. The gallery gets updated as i add more pictures.

    Update: I completed the game last night ( 04.11.2008 ) and i love it. Last picture shows my “stats” in-game.

    Got a “new” car ..

    or more like, got a used car. But a very fine one it is.

    Thanks a lot again to my dad for helping find it for us. For those who missed it, the old car was kind of wrecked, but we got a nice new one. Still a Toyota, though this time a Carina E 1.6 XLi a station wagon as well.

    It runs great =)

    I survived, walked away without a scratch!

    Fuck, shit, crap, holy mother of god, dammit .. a lot of those words went through my head in the seconds from i realized i was going to crash.

    I was driving on the superhighway after a night dive with my spear gun, and suddenly something jumped out in front of me, i think it was a deer. I yanked the car to the left, then my left wheel set was in the rabate, and i counter steered a bit too rough, and within a split second i was sideways on the superhighway with a speed of ~110 km/h and the car started rolling. I THINK i was doing like 6-7 rounds before the car was “parked” upside down on a hilltop with me hanging upside down.

    Somehow i manged to stay calm, and get out of the car, pull all my belongings and dive gear out of the car. Then i called around to get someone to pick me up, and after 5 minutes a kind taxi driver stopped and came to see if i was okay, he helped me pull some stuff out of the car and took me into hes taxi to get warm while waiting for a friend i called for.

    Within the seconds i rolled, i got to think over my life, good bad all that stuff .. and somehow i feel incredibly changed because of these 10 seconds of insane action last night.

    I took some pictures of the car ( dont really know why i did that ), you can see them here below.

    I just want to add .. life is fucking great, enjoy it while it lasts!

    Update: I added another bunch of pictures from earlier today when i was out picking up my last few belongings from the wreck.

    Update2: Parents came by today, so i get to dive the car, and we went to the crash site , and after seeing it, i feel even luckier, from what i could see the car had mowed down 2 x 10 inch think poles on the top of the hill, and the 3rd pole stopped the car from rolling further. Its just incredible that i was able to walk away from this accident. Its somehow hard to belive i was actualyl in the damned car when it happend.

    I feel like sharing this awesome song/video that i heard a few weeks ago, today it REALLY makes sense to me! Play it .. listen .. enjoy .. and viva la vida from me ;)
