Here's a story of how I found out of Far Cry 3, and how it inspired me a lot.Since last year, as of 2016, I liked this girl a lot, she was very pretty, she had black hair, and she had kinda the same thing in common as me. But as time went by, more and more guys started to like her and she used that towards her advantage. My brother started to even liked her too, and since he was much older than me, she started to like him too. They both started to hang out more and more often and I started to rage and give up on her. I have liked other girls in the past but she was perfect. But ever since she pretended that I didn't exist, I was mad and I was playing video games to help me with my anger. But as I looked through my friends list on my Xbox, I saw that one of my friends was playing Far Cry 3, the name sounded familiar, so I looked it up, and then I noticed that this game connects to Far Cry: Primal, and since I loved dinosaurs and prehistoric animals, I thought Far Cry 3 would have dinosaurs or something. So after that, I looked up on YouTube "Far Cry 3 the Movie", it brought me to this exact video. I saw the beginning part of it and I was interested, I was expecting dinosaurs but the game had a very good story to it. But I didn't see the whole entire video, I only saw the cutscenes of Vaas because somehow I knew that there was something special about him. And then when he said the definition of insanity, I was then inspired because I've liked a lot of girls, and I was doing it repeatedly that I was expecting that a girl will finally be my soulmate. I even started to realize that my friends did the same thing too, and I started to see that everyone I knew were also the same. But to this day, I thank the girl that I first mention in here because if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be the person I am today because I was shy before and nervous about things but now I'm more open to people and not shy anymore. And Vaas's definition of insanity helped my pain go away because why should I even bother trying to win back the girl that likes my brother and I would expect her to like me? So now I thank her, she made me a better person and something more inside me got bigger and better. In conclusion, I always thought that some video games with killing people would create violent people. But Far Cry 3 had a meaning to it, it had symbolism. And when I first played the game, I found myself hiding from the pirates and avoiding confrontation because I didn't know the enemy or the island. But as time and the game progressed, I found myself engaging the pirates and privateers, I started to liberate the outpost and the radio towers that I started to know the island and enemy more, I started to use the jungle towards my advantage. After finishing the game I started to realize that Vaas, Citra, Hoyt, and the Island itself tore Jason's sanity, which made me more like Vaas. I became sadistic to my enemies in the game, that I eventually started attacking and killing the Rakyat and other people. I even wanted to be like Vaas and Hoyt in the real world because I saw all these guys laying an eye on the girl I really liked, but as she never returned any feelings for me, I became more mad and angery, but Vaas's insanity speech always helped me, it eased my pain. And in the game, I thought that I was the good guy of the game, the hero, I thought i was going to change a difference, I used violence to end the violence, but it created a more violent me. I was "The Victim" but then I became "The Abuser". "Did I ever tell you, the definition of insanity"?
