[QUOTE=Calkkuna;22555152]I had a terrible nightmare about stalker. I was in Shevchenko, with some stalkers, it was pretty dark. We were chilling next to a fire, when suddenly the other stalkers shouted something like "IT'S COMING, RUN". They lef me all alone in that dark ship. I went into a room with a bed and hid in a corner. Then I feel it, a controller trying to access my mind, the feeling was horrible. I can't believe my brains created such a feeling. I hear zombies and the controller. Then something walked into the room. I opened fire with my ak and I see a controller fall to the ground dead. I woke up breathing heavily without knowing was I awake or in a dream. After that I went back to sleep and dreamt about sneaking inside a military building, it was quite stalkerish. Guards were wearing the Berill suits and the stuff inside the building was X-labbish. I wish I remembered more details.[/QUOTE] you need to take a break from stalker, yo.

[QUOTE=MadCatMkII;22555371]you need to take a break from stalker, yo.[/QUOTE] I haven't played stalker in weeks. Or I'm not sure, it has been atleast a week.

The nightmares a a form of withdrawal. There is only one cure... Well.....two cures, but you won't like the other one.

[QUOTE=NecronLord15;22555634]The nightmares a a form of withdrawal. There is only one cure... Well.....two cures, but you won't like the other one.[/QUOTE] A bullet to the head? That how I solve my STALKER withdrawal.

So, quick question. I'm on the mission about Vano's debt... is it worth paying it off so that I can get that achievement for "solving problems peacefully," or should I just shoot him down?

It's only 5000 dude. Just do it

[QUOTE=MadCatMkII;22556969]It's only 5000 dude. Just do it[/QUOTE] But I want his shotgun. :saddowns:

Ah, just shoot 'em. It's cooler. It depends only on your personality...and skill..and COURAGE. When I was at that mission I stabbed the leader in the face after hearing "AND INTERE-" *SWNGGG* *HUUURKK*

Wait, people care about achievements? Lol

I don't see the point of them either, but they can be nice if you want to do something special, lengthens your interest time on the game. I usually do whateverthefuck I feel like doing, be it murdering the Bar clean of duty, or taking a stroll at the bloodsucker village and play hide & seek with Bloodsuckers.

[QUOTE=Raiskauskone;22557479]play hide & with Bloodsuckers.[/QUOTE] :3:

Someone should code in Achievements for SHOC. Then again maybe I should do it, how hard is it to code in lua? I've coded in C#/XNA is it easier, harder?

[QUOTE=MadCatMkII;22557184]Wait, people care about achievements? Lol[/QUOTE] Normally, I don't, but the achievements in this game do nice things. Like, getting the "Detective" achievement for doing that early mission about the hemoglobin addict earns you a free source of medkits. Not much, but nice.

[QUOTE=Frostbite;22557661]Someone should code in Achievements for SHOC. Then again maybe I should do it, how hard is it to code in lua? I've coded in C#/XNA is it easier, harder?[/QUOTE] I think lua is one of the easier languages, but I'm no programmer.

Jack's shotgun is terrible. Ugly as shit.

[QUOTE=Paravin;22557988]Jack's shotgun is terrible. Ugly as shit.[/QUOTE] Opinions

Where's LURK? Isn't it supposed to be released this month?

Some time this month. Have hope fellow stalker.

Some sources have whispered in my ear that it's close as shit.

.. Uninstalling OL 2.2

[QUOTE=Communist Cake;22558700]Where's LURK? Isn't it supposed to be released this month?[/QUOTE] Just like how it was supposed to be released back in November?

I just gave the Duty traders' PDA to Loki. Got to the warehouse wearing an exoskeleton, got the goods out of the stash, and went outside. A Duty squad had decided to show up, and they didn't seem happy about finding a bunch of Freedomers digging into their stash. They told us to piss off, and when we didn't, they pulled their weapons out. The idiots were bunched together in a group, so they literally flew when I fired my RPG. Too bad their weapons got lost in the grass. Oh well... I still got some decent loot off of their bodies. One shot, four kills. I feel like a badass.

[QUOTE=Calkkuna;22557572]:3:[/QUOTE] Argh stupid fucking hangover, forgot to put word "seek". Anyways, it's storytime Stalkers. [img]http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/6762/eeppisyytt2.jpg[/img]

For some reason the shadows in stalker bug me to no end, For the most part they look great but in SOC they have the weirdest bugs. Everything far away that is shadowed looks serrated and there seems to be a shadow following the corner of my screen all the time. I wish i could play without the shadows nagging at me in the corner of my mind. Whenever I see a bugged shadow it just turns off all the immersion for me. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know. Here are some images of my problem just so I can prove I'm not going insane.

Also have problems like that in Gothic 3. Is your graphics card a ATI by any chance? [quote]Someone should code in Achievements for SHOC. Then again maybe I should do it, how hard is it to code in lua? I've coded in C#/XNA is it easier, harder? [/quote] It's basicly like C# and VB... I think it's easy. I like to mess around with LUA since when I was taking my programing course, C#, HTML and VB were my fav langs. I miss programing... Can't get a decent job in Portugal without a "first-low-life-job"... So I have to work at a Coffee and Pastery shop before I get into a Computer Company... I hate this country so much... Ya know... I could say we have oil... just so that the US would bomb this place and take over it. I think it would be an improvement XD /jk

ATI's drivers don't work so well with Stalker, it seems.

Thank god I'm on an nvidia.
