Perhaps every one of those PS3s came with a HD TV.

A bit too dark, but I thought the scene was pretty

@Crashgirl: By the way, you said before that your computer couldn't handle Stalker at 1280x960, but my machine is a bit weaker than yours and it runs Stalker at that resolution just fine. So, it seems to me that you should give it a try at a higher resolution.

But he didn't have a tail on him. In fact I think I've killed at least two of those and none of them had a tail. Perhaps you just have to be lucky to get that tail.

Was it that cave where you go for nimble's quest?

I'm having loads of fun. I finally managed to take out the bandits by taking the shotgun off the friendly guy's corpse , and shotgunning almost everyone at point-blank range. After that, I've been avoiding bigger fights (like the military guys under the bridge), and doing those easy quests for the village guys. One quest I'm having problems with is the pseudo tail dog fetch quest, as I can't seem to find one, and the PDA doesn't tell where to find it. I did get a blind dog's tail but that didn't help me at all. They managed to get the game world just right. It's immersive. And the thunder storms are pretty.

I'm having a lot of trouble with the first mission. I get killed, my squad buddies get killed; it's a bloody massacre. The best I've been able to do so far was reduce the enemies to just two guys. However, a shotgun at point-blank took me out. The AI doesn't seem too shabby.

Apparently, the forums are closed for maintenance. After they're done with that, the link should work properly. Anyway, what you can do, if you're having performance problems is to change the line "Texture_lod 0" in the user.ltx file to "Texture_lod 2". Worked wonders for me.

Holy necromancy, Batman!

Brezhnev (Punk band from the Netherlands) - She ain't horny she's my sister It's a song precisely about the situation you were in. Chorus: "She's a girl that I adore Every time I see her I love her even more But you should've noticed by the way I kissed her She ain't horny she's my sister."

The Fountain Meh. It's about accepting death. It's pretentious while at same time being simplistic and obvious.

Actually, I solved my problems with a specific config from GSC's forums. Mostly, it just stopped accessing my hard drive so much. However, the game still only takes about 300 megs of my ram despite the fact that I have a total of 1 Gb (500 megs available with the game running). Also, disabling all processes I could, just increased the amount of ram I had available. Anyway, as the game is now running fine (at 1280x960 ), all is awesome. Great atmosphere and all, but I wish I could understand what people are saying in Russian. The game should have subtitles. Finally, thanks for taking your time to help me.

Adapting BG's interface to a console sounds like a veritable nightmare.

Good luck!

I got S.T.A.L.K.E.R and I'm having some serious performance issues. At first it didn't seem like it would be too bad, as I got between 10 and 20 FPS outdoors with everything maxed (including AA) at 1280x960. However, no matter how much I lower my settings, I can't seem to get better performance. Anyway, after fiddling around with the settings I started to notice that the game seems to be accessing my hard drive a lot. So with task manager I checked its memory usage and I noticed that the game only uses about 300 megs of RAM but it takes about 1.2 gigs of the page file at all times. Short of very poor optimization, I can't understand what the hell is going on here.

I think he's crying over a little sister. She's on the ground in front of him.

Morrowind's models were bad, but the animations were what annoyed me the most.

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=74543 It's just a short teaser but, somehow I really liked it. I think it sets the game's atmosphere quite well.

I figured that as Frenchman, you'd pick Truffaut. Also, Beyonce is really awful.

I just remembered how hard it was to find decent portraits for infinity engine games because portrait sites were filled to the brim with crap like that.

So that's the guy who was responsible for all the really atrocious fantasy art from the 80s.

I visited 4chan... Cosplayers are really completely effed up. They've just joined the category of people that make me feel better about myself because I'm not them.

That's pretty weird. What does it say on the mobo itself, next to the slots?
