Two hours at this and I feel like I have only 2 good questions for my final meeting with the Jackal. There are days I feel like a writer and other days, like today, where English feels like a foreign language. I’m not sure what to expect from this interview, but my gut tells me this will be significant. The Jackal made a point of declaring this the final one. Perhaps he’ll give me a window into his grand plan…if there is one.
I meet him on Tuesday so I still have a few days, but my god what’s wrong with me today? I should have pages full of questions and I can’t even scribble down topics.
I think the conflict’s been getting to me. I spend every day listening to the crack of automatic weapons in the streets. My body carries an ever-present tension expecting a bullet to the chest. I wonder if everyone feels this. And no, wearing a bullet-proof vest doesn’t really offer the comfort you might hope it would. I’ve seen dead men who were shot through the gaps in their armour. Bullets find the holes.
On another note, I’ve read your many comments. Thank you for all your concern for my safety. Believe me when I tell you that I take precautions everywhere. I don’t carry a weapon. It’s just something I cannot and will not do. The minute I do that, I cross a line. The minute I do that, my life will become even more threatened. And yes, as you’ve observed, I have decided to remain in the country to cover events. If I were to leave, I fear the story would be lost. Honestly, that’s a greater tragedy than any harm that may come my way.
Why the hell did I click that link? That was sacrilegious, deviant, jarring, morally offensive to every fiber of my being.
Remember, this is the crowd that leads the masses to go vote for Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom, and Jerry Brown. You should be ashamed of yourselves, Californians.

Well, they are responsible for Pelosi so you gotta figure they have a basic lack of respect for anyone else.

I have been playing FCII for a few months and love the game.
I think I have a module of the 4th world. I cannot find a walk through for it. There is a Building in the town of Mostle Selao that has a Diamond case on the Roof. I cannot figure how to get up there.

Wait is the guy in the game based on a real reporter or is this just a make pretend bloq?

Awesome game, and dispite the Jackal sounding a lot like he should be in a straight jacket, he seems like the kind of bloke I could have a laugh with knocking back a few pints with a vert dry sence of humour and anarchistic views of the world.
See you in the game guys, but you may not see me...

is this really the guy who the journalist in farcry 2 was based on?
Posted by: shaun | January 14, 2009 at 11:14 PM
He post it in real way, because the "cruel" world in game is nothing compared to cruelty in Africa in our world. You simply don't realize what the war is. I appreciate his efforts to show ypu even a small part of this sickness.

May god be with you reuben, your bravery is something that I haven't seen in a man like you before. It's very gratifying to see a reporter like you get close to someone that regular mercs can't. Good luck.

"There are days I feel like a writer and other days, like today, where English feels like a foreign language." That sparks my memory of a recent missive sent from my brother-in-law. He's frighteningly well-traveled through the Middle East (and beyond). But just two weeks ago, he was visiting the Province of Novgorad in Russia. His visa expired on a Tuesday, but his train out of Russia didn't cross the border back into Estonia until 2 a.m. Wednesday morning. They stopped the train, rounding up my brother-in-law and another man -- another expired-visa traveler who happened to be an Italian -- as one of the train's authorities shouted at them both: "You will NOT leave Russia!" But those were the only words the Russian spoke in English. As the two of them were detained, the Italian gesticulated wildly at the Russians, his voice rising and rising in volume; but after they continued to ignore him, the Italian blasted, "See? See?! They don't even speak English here!"
