S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread - Taste vanilla before you add sprinkles~ - Games

[img]http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/7503/fwfwefgwgwg.jpg[/img] - Thank the bloodsucker sweatshop workers that live in Zezibesh and Thorny's basement for this~ [I]This is the way it is with the Zone: if you come back with swag - it's a miracle; if you come back alive - it's a success; if the patrol bullets miss you - it's a stroke of luck. And as for anything else - that's fate. -Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky[/I] [img]http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/7561/lined.png[/img] [img]http://a.imageshack.us/img809/8346/30253451adwcopy.jpg[/img] Welcome to the Zone, brother! The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series is currently made up of three games: Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Pripyat. Each game has its own set of unique experiences, features, and a new twist upon the life of a Stalker. The game series is based off of the Chernobyl Nuclear catastrophe, with its own fictional additions. The zone is an irradiated hell hole that was formed after a fictional second explosion at the powerplant, it's filled with anomalies and known to be home to deadly mutants. The Zone is populated by people nicknamed S.T.A.L.K.E.Rs, which stands for "Scavenger, Trespasser, Adventurer, Loner, Killer, Explorer, Robber". Stalkers are divided into clans, each with their own ideals and goals, such as the anarchist Freedom faction or fanatic Monolith. This is just a quick overview, for more in-depth information I recommend heading over to the STALKER websites listed below. The Wiki is a fantastic resource that holds tons of extra information, but be careful about spoilers! - Good hunting S.T.A.L.K.E.R!

Now back to my controversial sleep pattern, night stalkers!

First post.

Also, the guy saying about the machinegun in Clear Sky, use the level changer to the north and talk to one of the loner guides to get to Sid's place.

[QUOTE=Thorny13;31078147]Things for Stalkers to do in the Rookie Village?[/QUOTE] *The cooking idea by [del]Nerts[/del] [B]Amez[/B] was good.

Boar barbecue. *Watching a portable tv / laptop movies at the basement (actually a good night enterntainment as well) *Maybe a small Makarov firing range somewhere.[/QUOTE] The guys in the Loner Base more north are already cooking, so it'd be weird to have another so close. The firing range is a neat idea though, will definitely think about that one.

[QUOTE=Nerts;31078145]Also, the guy saying about the machinegun in Clear Sky, use the level changer to the north and talk to one of the loner guides to get to Sid's place.[/QUOTE] real stalkers low crouch all the way to sids base from the south teleporter. without using cover.

Currently livestreaming STALKER: Clear Sky. This is my first livestream so I'm pretty excited. :v: [url]www.livestream.com/lifeinthezone[/url]

[QUOTE=Exosel;31078227]Fallout ?[/QUOTE] Yes. It's a nightstalker. I deserve to be slapped across the cheeks for that pun.

Incoming video, uploading it at the moment. ~10 minutes till you can see my stab Duty-iers in the face.

I just noticed that spetzaz is permabanned Let's drink to him once more, he was a great stalker

Haha, nice thread title there.

The stream ended in me drinking 8 bottles of vodka and throwing bolts at the military.
