Trivia
Vaas Montenegro (The mo-hawked villain on the cover of Far Cry 3) has a series of YouTube videos, demonstrating his favorite torturing methods on a Hollywood movie star.

Goofs
In the introduction the group is shown to be on a resort island at least with night clubs. After escaping the pirates, the Main Character, Jason grabs his belongings and cell phone back. Soon after he is tasked by locals with re-activating "jammed" local Cell Towers, and regularly uses his cellphone throughout the game, but he nor any of his rescued friends/ friendly locals ever even consider trying to contact anyone in their native California, nearby embassies or the U.S. authorities which would definitely respond in aid or rescue very quickly. It is clear however that the survivors are spoiled, naive party goers that generally are not very smart, as well as the friendly locals not wanting Jason to leave the island because he is much more competent and instrumental to their cause of taking back over the Rook Islands.

Quotes
Vaas: Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same fucking thing... over and over again expecting... shit to change... That. Is. Crazy. The first time somebody told me that, I dunno, I thought they were bullshitting me, so, I shot him. The thing is... He was right. And then I started seeing, everywhere I looked, everywhere I looked all these fucking pricks, everywhere I looked, doing the exact same fucking thing... over and over and over and over again thinking 'this time is gonna be different' no, no, no please... This time is gonna be different, I'm sorry, I don't like... The way...
[Punches crate aside violently. His agitation towards the player character is visibly growing]
Vaas: ... you are looking at me... Okay, Do you have a fucking problem in your head, do you think I am bullshitting you, do you think I am lying? Fuck you! Okay? Fuck you!... It's okay, man. I'm gonna chill, hermano. I'm gonna chill... The thing is... Alright, the thing is I killed you once already... and it's not like I am fucking crazy. It's okay... It's like water under the bridge. Did I ever tell you the definition... of insanity?

Best Game Ever For Me..........

An amazing game, featuring stunning visuals and game play.. Far Cry 3 is an exceptional FPS with fun mechanics and excellent characterization.. The freedom and power is intoxicating.. A new standard for the genre.. In Far Cry 3, you find yourself stranded on a tropical island, a lawless place ruled by piracy and human misery. You dictate how the story unfolds, from the battles you choose to fight down to the allies or enemies you make along the way. There are 18 radio towers to scale as you make your way through the game, each of which highlights new objectives on your map and opens up new weapons to buy at local shops, and each tower is a unique first-person climbing challenge - a peaceful ascent through a creaking spiral of steel that's fraying at the edges, revealing beautiful panoramic views before sending you back down to earth on a thrilling zip line .
