Note to self: If I want Stalker to run nice and purdy trick out my computer some more. Haha, that would explain it then.

What kind of rig you running to get that? Personally I'm just hoping that having it designed for DX10 will mean that it runs better on Vista, since I have some preformance issues on Stalker now, and for what it's displaying I really shouldn't. It and Crysis are the only games that I cannot run on my monitor's native res of 1680x1050, not that I mind, because Stalker is sweet. Man, 85fps average on Stalker?

Once motion blur, and HDR are activated in STALKER it really blows your mind (and i also have Crysis in full DX10 glory, and i thing STALKER looks close with all eye candy on). I for one just cant wait for Clear Sky as im obsessed with all things STALKER. As for mods go, im not super huge on them, but some of them are fun, Obvilion Lost is probably the most popular compete overhaul, you may dig it you may not (I personally prefer vanilla) and I've been meaning to try out STALKER Redux as I've heard very good things about it.

It's very very close to photo realism imo. There are good pictures floating around of this, I seen them on Preys world, and the difference is incredible. It’s very very close to photo realism imo.

It's not the worst song ever, but the singer's mousy little voice <i>reaching</i> to accomodate it is really ...testing. I kinda thought it was funny in the game, like this is all that's left of pop music. No wonder so many turned to the guitar. Anyway, the wet surfaces and the god rays from the sun were kinda cool. I'm still not getting Vista though. At least they admit it’s a dirge. It’s not the worst song ever, but the singer’s mousy little voice reaching to accomodate it is really …testing.
