    How's the driving in Just Cause 3? I can't find much about it online because no one seems to give a shit about an authentic driving experience anymore.
    Did they "fix" the handling and make it super arcadey and boring? JC2's handling wasn't exactly realistic, but it was at least kinda quirky and fun. It's easy to screw up, have the back end come around on you, and then end up down in the weeds.
    Vehicle handling can make or break a game for me. I can hardly play GTA 5 solely because of the driving. It ruins the whole game.

    From what I've heard its better than Just cause 2 in terms of usability but its still arcadey. Its no where near as complex as GTA 5's handling of course, think more burnout paradise/need for speed with less grip and more damage. Its not a super big part of that game anyway since you will end up flying most of the time.

    I spend tons of time driving in video games. I constantly go back and play GTA 4 and just drive around and piss cops off for hours at a time. I do the same with JC2
    JC3 looks like JC2 with improved graphics and a few new features and improved flying and grappling. If the driving sucks I'm not gonna bother buying it.

    Well it'll be nothing like GTA 4 but it will be just a more polished version of JC2 driving. Haven't played it personally but thats just from what I've seen/heard.

    That moment when accidentally opening IE and Windows Defender goes nuts and labels it as a "malware threat."

    That moment when you open McAfee and McAfee blares out that OH MY GOD ITS A VIRUS HOLY SHITBALLS then proceeds to crash.

    Why does my dad think McAfee is the best antivirus? Seriously...

    McAfee came free with my PC when I bought it. It's done nothing for me so far, except for blocking some downloads that were completely safe (mods for beamng)

    It's impossible to remove WebAdvisor from Firefox so now it blocks every NR2003 download I attempt to get.

    Speaking of NR2003, I think my wreck is better than yours @Dummiesman :rolleyes:

    This reminds me of one time in school when someone that used to go to school with me brought their laptop for an assignment. I have a Dell Latitude D530 that was my primary and was about 6 years old at the time, and this other guy had a 2 month old Toshiba that was already in worse shape than mine cosmetically. He asked me why I was using such a piece of crap, and I told him, "Because it still runs nicely and I don't need it for any more than simple typing." A few minutes later, he shoves my laptop off the desk into the wall in front of me, and it shuts off but hasn't any more than a scratch, so I started it up again and continued typing without a problem. He just scoffs and says whatever, goes back to his laptop, and his laptop catches fire right in front of him as soon as he starts it. And that's how I learned that karma can be vicious.

    I found the driving in JC2 to be boring and dull. Personally i find the driving in JC3 to be considerably more fun, but it is still very much arcade driving. The handbrake button may as well be renamed to the drift key for example. But it is still not on the same level as any of the really great arcade racing games.

    Disclosure: I find both Arcade and Sim Racing games to be lots of fun.

    My Xiaomi Mi Band arrived today. Its a fairly neat little device. Its a basic £10 smart band that can also do notifications (via rgb LED on the model i have, with a modded version of the app that goes with it otherwise it can only do incoming calls) as well as having a 30 day battery life, although people say that they can go up to 60 days if it doesn't need to vibrate much. While i cant comment on battery life so far i would recommend.

    But i am finding it pretty weird having something on my wrist since i haven't worn a watch in at least 10 years.
