This Far Cry 3 Trailer Makes Me Never Want To Take A Paradise Vacation
We haven’t seen much since Far Cry 3’s amazing launch trailer, but I have to say that trailer alone sold me on the game. Well the trailer below is getting me even more excited. I someday hope to become rich somehow so I can ake many awesome vacations. However, video games lately are making me never want to leave my house. Check out the trailer below and see why.
Yikes, right? Far Cry 3 comes out this September for the PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360. New screens past the break!

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
