Missing Name posted:Please tell me he has a stash of some obscenely rare drug, and his PDA is the most cheerful thing you'll read in the Zone. It's won't be a PDA as such. It'll be a piece of a plank with the letters PAD carved sloppily into the top.

Acquire Currency! posted:Who was the guy who took pictures of the inside of that place and how much lead did it take to bury him? There's a really interesting documentary on YouTube about this (I'll see if I can dig it up). Basically a tiny team of scientists were tasked with being caretakers and fact-finders for many years. They actually made journeys underneath the core where all the radioactive slag is as well. They did this with a minimum of protection. It was interesting, in a way they were like real life Stalkers. They talked about how certain parts of the reactor were "cold" having relatively little radioactivity and how you could walk a couple meters and suddenly get a lifetime's dose in a couple minutes. They said they were constantly creeping forward finding the safest route to the core. There's an interesting picture of one of these dudes standing on top of the core right next to the blown off lead cap. Interestingly enough almost none of them died from radiation-related ailments. The ones who did (many are still alive) died mostly from heart attacks and strokes. They loving smoke like chimneys and drink vodka like there's no tomorrow because for them the certainty of "tomorrow" is a tenuous thing. EDIT: Here's Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JfUvN5BQWw Watch the whole things. It's really fascinating. Overwined fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Jan 30, 2014 |

Finally got around to playing TFW mod and I really like it so far. Finally got enough rep to sign up with Freedom (because they're chill dudes). But poo poo, Bandits are loving everywhere. They have owned the entry zone to the Army Warehouses for ages and the northern exit to the zone always gets me killed by pseudodogs mindfucking me. Is this normal? I can sometimes sneak by to the Garbage, but it's a pain in the rear end.

Saw this today and got a serious Stalker vibe from it: http://www.businessinsider.com/abandoned-communist-headquarters-in-bulgaria-2015-5 What a cool location this would be to explore in a Stalker universe.

Some of the level design in Clear Sky is really quite awesome. The swamps and that heavily wooded zone are really well designed. Outside of their scale they look organic and real.

Lamprey Cannon posted:So, recently, I've been playing Far Cry 2, and I have to say that it's the closest thing I've ever experienced to an American STALKER title. You've got a free-roaming world that is ridiculously hostile and deadly every step of the way, you've got a bar full of mercenary buddies who will give you missions and occasionally come to help you out, you've got an abundance of lovely and broken weapons that've been shipped in from the outside world, you've even got the artifact hunting in the form of gps-tagged cases of diamonds. I would give my left ear for a STALKER game using that engine, fire effects and all. I thought someone was doing literally that: porting Stalker (CoP, I believe) into the Far Cry engine. A quick google shows me some news on porting Stalker to the Crysis engine. Moddb entry here. Don't get your hopes up, though. It was announced a few years ago and it appears nothing is going on.
