Tara interviewed the Far Cry 3’s producer Dan Hay about a multitude of game features like survival, gunplay, expansion, and more. Hot damn this game looks amazing. [Revision3]

instagram:

Today, we’re excited to bring you Instagram for AndroidTM. We’ve already seen more than 30 million people join Instagram to create and share beautiful photos on their iOS devices, and now we’re thrilled to offer a way for Android users to join their iOS friends on Instagram to share…

This is pretty much all anyone on my Twitter feed can talk about this morning. But congrats Android users- happy to have you joining in on the fun!

I’ll admit it: I often over use the word “awesome”. By that, I mean it’s probably one of my top 5 most used words. But Camera Awesome really is an app that is awesome. It automatically shares with any of your social networks, so you can make your friends jealous of the thing you’re doing IN REAL TIME. Synergy!
