(Huracan Evo & URUS) Description: It was an absolute blast to head to Phillip Island and learn a bit about how to properly drive a Lamborghini. The first actual event I’ve made to that @lamborghini_auckland invited me to, and I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of it. My instructor was @nathanantunes and he was absolutely amazing. Looking forward to improving my driving skills. I really love learning new skills. I’ve always been someone who actually struggles with learning Kinetic stuff like driving and weapons training. But sometimes because you struggle, it makes you better in the long run. It’s good to feel like a novice at things as well. I certainly felt I was the worst driver there by far. </video> <video> Pre-launch testing of my new game ICARUS!

Their search for exotic matter pushed them to their limits as they survived off the land in this brutal alien world. Those who missed their dropship's return to orbit were left behind forever, while others grew rich crafting exotic matter into new technologies. Icarus is a session-based Player vs Environment survival game for up to eight co-op players or solo play coming to PC in 2021.
