Holy shit. EVERYONE needs to see this movie. The most reccomended unknown movie I can give right next to Dead Man's Shoes.

Plot Summary: Near a gray and unnamed city is the Zone, an alien place guarded by barbed wire and soldiers. Over his wife's numerous objections, a man rises in the dead of night: he's a stalker, one of a handful who have the mental gifts (and who risk imprisonment) to lead people into the Zone to the Room, a place where one's secret hopes come true. That night, he takes two people into the Zone: a popular writer who is burned out, cynical, and questioning his genius; and a quiet scientist more concerned about his knapsack than the journey. In the deserted Zone, the approach to the Room must be indirect. As they draw near, the rules seem to change and the stalker faces a crisis.

Fucking Bloodsuckers.
You can join every faction in the game and actually conquer territory.
It will be glorious.
which is pretty apparent from my sig, I've got a shit load of Tartovsky in my moviestar queue. Still I've only seen this and solaris, which also deserves a watch.
GET OUT OF HERE STALKER
I might get it. It looks pretty swank, but then a month later, Spore comes out.
Oh fuck yes
damn a month
that sure isn't enough time to finish one game
fuck,
EDIT: spoilered, not really a spoiler, but just in case you don't want to be expecting anything

I know, but I'll be working a lot, and I'm trying to save money for once, so I'm really trying to limit my game-buying.
Netflix or Amazon are the only options I think. I just rented it on Netflix.
this one time in the game some fucking assholes tricked me out of my money and then shot me off of their little hidey-hole farmhouse
so I waited until night
snuck up to one of the broken windows of the place
and chucked a grenade right into the fucking center of the building
Then I turned on my night vision goggles and went inside as a silent killer, finishing off the dazed and confused survivors who were trying to hide behind shrapnel scarred pillars and fire poorly aimed shots in my general direction
I fucking love S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
It makes the game fucking terrifying and a hell of a lot harder.

I think I've been there.
If it is, then I was happy I had a RPG on me, because I just blasted it at those motherfucks and picked off the few that survived.
I have, and I really didn't like it. It wasn't so much the new difficulty as it was the whole new art direction the mod forced on you. Didn't really liked seeing stalker novices wearing bright red and green jackets. I usually play a heavily modded vanilla game: sleeping bag mod, weather overhaul, new textures for various items and surfaces, tweaked gun stats, and hamonica enablers is what I usually use.
EDIT: that's the one, Mori.
I have the Radiation Edition, which is pretty swank, if just because it comes in a cool scarred metal box.
I'm more partial to the Groza. No silencer or scope, true, but the killer damage, high fire rare and grenade launcher make it much better IMO.
Yes but I cannot be the silent sniper with a Groza.
Slinking between the shadows, all stealthy like. Drawing a bead on the point-man of a small patrol an then GODDAMN WHERE DID THAT FUCKING BOAR COME FROM fuck fuc kfuck
I'm pretty sure it dissapeared. That was a trippy moment.
they had rifles, we had guns
after a long battle in the rain (late afternoon to mid-evening) that involved a lot of sneaking and flanking, it was over
we killed every last one of them, only one of ours was shot down
I was walking around their encampment collecting weapons and food when I heard a painful grunt
I went to check it out, and found the Lieutenant leading the patrol was lying on the ground, concealed behind a large half turned tanker, bleeding to death from a shot in the stomach
I looked at him for a few seconds, just wondering what to do
I then looked up to the sky, and I see that even though there are still clouds in the sky they're beginning to disperse
I took out my silenced gun as I said (in real life, out loud)
"It rained pretty bad today. Clouds all over. You could barely see the sun."
he grunted again as I pointed the gun's muzzle to his temple
"But it looks like it's going to clear up tomorrow. Yeah."
I could barely hear the snip of the silenced gun as I fired it. The thud of the bullet's impact was even less audible. There was no more sound, just the wind, and the night stars peaking through the gray blanket above.
"Tomorrow is going to be a nice day."
My favourite gun was the full length version of the sawnoff that some mod I had put in, it was kinda overpowered and too accurate at range but it was fucking awesome for blasting through hordes of zombies.
kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some
Now imagine me saying it in Niko Bellic's voice.
e: oh yeah. also see Solaris (the Tarkovsky Solaris. Surprisingly they didn't totally fucking mangle the new one either, but I prefer the older film.)
