S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread -You shouldn't have come here lurker... Now you will be WORM FOOD! - Games

Welp, I give up on SoC. The Chernobyl NPP interior is too hard for me :v: Should I hop right into Clear Sky with TFW, or try Pripyat?

[QUOTE=PopLot;30845227]blah[/QUOTE] Your avatar is fucking terrifying. Also nostalgic.

[QUOTE=Blaberry;30844139][url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13433401/Redux%20menu.7z[/url] Drop ontop of Redux. Change should be obvious immediately. You'll love me. :3:[/QUOTE] That tune always makes me lol. [editline]2nd July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=No Party Hats;30845260]Welp, I give up on SoC.

Play CS first vanilla, then play CoP vanilla :)

[QUOTE=croguy;30845244]Marked One, what the hell![/QUOTE] Yeah, realized my mistake and fixed it. Don't get me started on how horrifying AMK was to me.

I once tried to install it but it didn't fucking work. Such is life in the Zone. (LURK works like a charm though)

[QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30844941]Hm. I'm watching stalker at the moment and I realized writer and Scientist are the perfect representations of freedom and duty. Writer=freedom -Easy going, lax and selfish in some ways, doubting science and religion equally. -Wants to use the Zone to his advantage Scientist=Duty -Seriousish, understands in someways the dangers of the Zone, in others is too calculating or too meek to survive in the Zone -Realizes the threat both versions of the Zone hold. Whether to the world or to be used by those who wish ill upon the world[/QUOTE] You're watching stalker? Is that TV series out already?

[QUOTE=Cheese7;30845597]You're watching stalker? Is that TV series out already?[/QUOTE] HNNG! Okay. Where to begin. I'm typing up some stuff so no-one answer him yet please, this is [I]my[/I] moment.

[QUOTE=gnoob;30845755]Dude. The post above you. Let him have his moment.[/QUOTE] well sorry for not seeing something in my anger

Alright, so Stalker as a series is actually based on a Sci-Fi novel called Roadside Picnic. [url]http://www.cca.org/cm/picnic.pdf[/url] It inspired Andrei Tarkovsky to make the 1979 film Stalker, which I bought a copy of from Russia. The books, the film and the games all hold several things in common, but for the main part a lot of it is different. The book focuses around Redrick, a "stalker" who searches one of the [B]six[/B] zones around the world, this one is actualy in Canada. Along the course of the novel, it develops the atmosphere of a burnt out town, with a small community self supporting themselves around the Zone by working on Science, infrastructure or guarding the Zone. Rederick serves as one of the remaining few veteran stalkers, trying to make a living off the Zone. It also features a "golden orb" which grants wishes, but besides that has nothing to do with the wish granter in stalker. The anomalies and artifacts found in the Zone are excedingly different from the ones in stalker, being extremely unpredictable, and while some have names, for the most-part most of the strange features of the Zone are unexplained by the novel, leaving a level of ambiguity about the Zone and its machinations, similar to the feelings felt by the characters in the novel. the film [B]Stalker[/B] is different to the novel, although the plot shares some similarities. It revolves around the main character, literally named "stalker" who is commisioned by a man he calls "Writer" and another man he nicknamed "Scientist". While I won't divuldge their motives due to their criticality to the plot, they each are supposedly seeking something inside the Zone - A room capable of granting your inner-most desires. They make their way into the Zone after a tense escape from the guarding forces, and after a three minute scene with close up shots of them as they travel on a rail car to the Zone, they reach a stop and send the cart back. A tedious trip follows, as the seemingly paranoid stalker uses bolts to navigate hidden dangers. Along the way they talk about philosophical issues like religion and the nature of life, while stalker also repeating in the narration poems by Andrei Tarkovsky's father and Andrei himself. The movie ends well, with stalker rejoicing his return with his family and his daughter repeating another poem. As you can see they share somethings in common: -The Zone, or more than 1 Zone -Dangerous Anomalies -Artifacts -The book and film both include a "mutant" daughter and distressed wife -Illegally entering the Zone past armed guards -Selling artifacts to the outside world -The use of the word stalker in all 3 to describe those who traverse the Zone.

Your moment is now over, I reclaim the thread now!

Cool! I should have proclaimed myself new thread leader, told everyone to abandon this thread and made a new one if I had known what power I had held... Alas my power is no more - I must descend to my rank of rookie once more, and bear the mantle of science in hopes of one day proclaiming it's glory, not as a rookie, but as a true stalker!

'gtfo'

huh?

Sorry. Damn.

[QUOTE=JerryK;30846434]i believe he means 'get the fuck out'[/QUOTE] I say good sir!

[QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30846444]I say good sir![/QUOTE] it's not me it's him

I darest say to you my good sir that I am aware of that due to it being his contribution originally and you contributing to the matter, both events I am aware of!

i think contributing is a little harsh

Dem lurkers.

On CoP I'm stuck on basiclly the first mission. The part where you have to jump into the anomaly. Everytime I jump into the anomaly it says I've completed the mission and then a few seconds later gives me the mission again. I do it again and nothing new. Is this supposed to happen or is something just wrong?

This mission is pretty bugged. For me, a kind of undead Noah is still standing around there. I can't talk to him, nothing can kill him. He just distracts mutants, which can't really kill him either. A damn phantom of something.

Either four, counting the games, or [b]thirty one years[/b], counting the book -> movie.

I'm so scared to go through Lab X-10 :ohdear:, I just have this intense fear of bloodsuckers, the rest of the mutants don't scare me nearly as much.

Such is life in kiddie land. But In all seriousness I remember the first time I met a fucker. "What the hell is wrong with the ground? Is than an anomaly? WHY IS MOVING TOWARDS ME OH GOD WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!" I proceded to spit all over my screen and flail my shotgun around till I finally spray and prayed it.
