Nothing Else Matters

I like this video. At the end of STALKER I felt like the character; like I had been through a long hostile ordeal, and was glad to make it out alive:

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was great.

I lifted loads of great quality media out of it.

puki: dude, I wish you'd shut up and give us all a break from your repeditive jokes. I'm sure that 95% of people here don't find them funny at all.

Good video, I've never played stalker but it looks cool.

The real shadow of chernobyl is of course Belarus, when the Soviets used cloud-seeding technology to divert the radioactive rain away from major cities and onto Belarus. The result wasn't zombies but disfigured babies.

Same thing happened in Kazakhstan where Stalin conducted nuclear tests for decades without telling the locals.

That wasn't very nice. I thought of it funny.

Ked: you're entitled to your opinion, and well you know the rest. :P

They didnt "divert" the rain, they just made it all fall as quickly as possible, rather than letting it fall over an entire continant

Something any inteligent government would also do.

The effect in Belarus is a tradgedy though, and the Russian Governmebt should have done more (well anything) to help them

H&K: good point! What I meant was, that Belarus was the REAL shadow of chernobyl. Obviously, different circumstances, sorry to join the two as they were totally different events. However, the Soviet authorities did NOT tell Belarus they had done that, they kept it secret until recently. They had no choice but they SHOULD still have told them. They didn't because they wanted to save themselves from criticism.

Beautiful.

It just came to me, like inspiration from above. :P

Actually, H&K you're wrong, they DID divert the rain. Soviet planes where seen flying over Belarus though nobody knew why. That means they were cloud-seeding over Belarus to create rain to divert the majority of the radiation over Belarus. So there. Eat that! ;)

Again, they made it fall as quickly as possible, this is not "diverting".

And, yes, the inexcusable part is the not admitting it, and then not helping

Hey H&K, well the program I saw said there were planes seen over Belarus and not anywhere else so they deliberately created rain over Belarus to accumulate the radiation before it got further. The point is really that the authorities knew that they were creating radioactive rain over Belarus and didn't tell them. I don't think you or anyone else could dispute that. Do you see my point?

Edit: sorry, yes you do see my point! :)

I dont get it. -Sad Face-

It's called a running joke, they're generally not funny, which is why you don't get it, because it's not really a joke, just a pain in the rectum.

I completely agree with markcw.

Anyway, I'll have to start playing STALKER again soon..

@mintybreath:
Puki is saying that he only enjoyed S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for the great quality media that he "took."


So you just make up names for humor you don't like? I have never heard of the two words "running joke."

Well now you have!

3 minutes later...

At least you're not being obnoxious.

Hey Ked!

For the love of God, I wouldn't want to be obnoxious and annoy well-educated people like yourself!

Edit: I edited this after a few minutes, I hope that doesn't mean I'm being obnoxiuos!

Oh i get it. Better than my jokes i guess.

What do you call a sheep with no legs? A cloud!

Calling people stupid and making them look like the bad-guy shows real good character.

LOL! Good joke mintybreath!

Ked: please, calm down dude. Puki can handle this. He has skin as thick as hippo hide. Don't come to his defence.

@Mark : Thanks, i got a million of em. One day i just sat on my laptop and googled lame jokes. Now whenever there is a silent moment when im talking with my friends, i just shoot one out.

Hey mintybreath!

I'd love to hear some more, they're great!

Edit: sorry to Leadwerks for pulling this thread offtopic.

That's right. You tell me to calm down so you can keep the personal attacks going. And yes you are being "obnoxiuos."

Oh trust me. Youll here when you least want to, and least expect.

...
Did you hear about the cat who swallowed a ball of yarn? She had mittens!!

Ked: sorry, I over-reacted. It's nothing personal. I'm just bored. Sorry I offended you.

mintybreath: haw haw! mittens! That's real good!
