Putting all my skill points into *uck!

I'll be surprised if any of know what I'm talking about, but in the Freelancer clone "DarkStar One", there's this one mission affectionately known as Flak Mission 2. O M F G - it's teh no. 1 pure ass WTF gaming moment of all time. It's so disproportionately hard, that anyone short of phenomenon hand-eye dexterity will not be able complete it. The stupid thing is that it's one of those crappy turret levels ala KotOR which they thrust upon you, and the gaming is COMPLETELY different from what you would've experienced until then (with the exception of Flak Mission 1 which was easy). Fortunately, I managed to complete it after much frustration at around the 12-15th attempt after watching a video of it being done. It's actually so bad, that the developers opened up a thread at their forum where users would send in their SAVE GAME, so the developers would "beat it" and then send it back after that level. I bet that thread probably still exits.

The earth is saved!

How's that going to work MP?

It's all your fault I bought STALKER in the first place. Now I might be addicted. PS - two questions Gorth (then the thread highjack and your powers as a Jedi will be complete): 1. So when do the chicks show up? I mean, the game's called STALKER for crying out loud. 2. I heard that there are 8 different endings but only liek 3 satisfying ones (sounds proportionally like VTM:BL). So what do I have to do (generally w/o too many spoilers) to get a REAL ending?

The manlove will be realistic. Pixie's manhood will be funny-ish.

"This one is machine and nerve and has its mind concluded... ...this one is but flesh and faith and is the more deluded." -- See what I did there? It's trochaic!

Crap, I guess I'll pick it up today then too.

1. You gotta use your PDF by checking the "tasks" (i.e. wasteland quests), "diary", and mostly importantly click on the map icons. Otherwise it's hell. 2. The atmosphere is love it or hate it - if you're into teh Post-Apoc niche, then you'll love it. 3. Patch 1.0006 liek triples your frames per second. I went from around 17-19 FPS out-of-the-box to 60+. Srsly!1

If you guys liked Deus Ex or System Shock 2, then you need to play STALKER. That's where the s**t's at homies! I think the way it shamelessly rips off Fallout in its guns/armor etc actually adds to the experience.

Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started!

I'm currently playing STALKER. A curious title for a game so noticeably absent of women.

But all the other kids are doing it - don't be a hater now!

I'm not rdy to quit yet guys! Let's have 1 more round!

But you are a sneaky bastard w/ your UAV + silencer + corner skulking!

"Zomg - my P90, whoa look over there, I like it to, why won't you talk to me, f**k I got killed, will you be my friend?"

That's DaTruth!1

For which I'm grateful for. I was getting pwned 0-0-11 while you were owning. But then after jinxing you I managed 20+ rounds!

Bok, Kor and I just totally owned at CoD4 after a fairly sluggish start. Also: Thanks Nick! Lost Odyssey really is the best JRPG evar!1

I can be there at around midnight, SoCal homie time.

It wasn't our fault!

OMG - I installed STALKER but ended up shelving it for a day as I was only getting 15-17 FPS. But now after installing patch 1.0006, I'm getting 50-90 FPS! WTF?!1 Whatever the explanation, I'm now a happy camper!

To stop the Danes from getting there.

Can you actually shoot anything in 3rd person?
