34. They're the ones making it all about the games

I'm playing FarCry 3 right now. In that violent video game (and yes, it's very very violent, and stunningly beautiful, to boot), you play a twentysomething named Jason Brody, who, with his friends, went on a big vacation to a tropical island to party hard and have fun. They decided to go skydiving before one of them had to be back in Hollywood for a filming, and that's when things went horribly wrong.

The question, and the point of the game, is... what would you do? Run? Not from Vaas. He'll find you, and torture and kill you and all your friends. He murdered your brother right in front of your eyes. Could you leave them? Would you try to avenge your brother's death? Are you the sort who would only preserve your own life- or would you at least try to rescue them?

Hope you don't mind killing Vaas and his men... because that's a requirement if you're going to survive to save your friends.

Welcome to Paradise. Enjoy your stay.
