I'd just started playing a bit last night when thunder and lightning boomed overhead and we lost power for about five seconds.
I swear I heard my video card scream - eeeeeeeeeeee. But it came right back up.
Didn't play anymore, though. Too many storms in the area.

GP-37 is kaput

My GP 37 is Kaputski.....

Gives a green "broken" sign to the right and jams almost constantly...

gotta find another.....

I only have 3 rounds for my SKv----need SOMETHING with a decent scope

Guess I have "overused" it a bit........

Shal is right----it would have been nice to find in certain places a "cleaning kit" or repair kit for the weaps.....

Or maybe a side job or two to visit the smith.....

My suit is shot to heck as well....

Priyapat is tough....

Can't wait to catch up, I am still at the bar. I just created a whole stash of suits and weapons here. it is just a major hassle to carry all that equipment around. I went to Wild Territories for the two SEVA suits and to empty the stash I had there. For added efficiency, I went without suit, and with only a pistol, which turned out to be broken. Unfortunately, the bandits had respawned since my last vist. I kind of enjoyed the challenge, but thanks for the quicksave/quickload keys

That's what I was afraid of.....

It'd take way too much effort and ammo to get back to my stashes----and then I'd have to fight my way back----and then I'd be in the exact same boat as I am now.....

shot up and low on ammo.....

Decisions----decisions

STALKER. I find it to be very challenging, but not crazy like they need 100's rounds before they drop, etc.

OMG, made it to the NPP in one piece (I think). Just awesome getting here.
I have no ammo at all, nada. I still have a knife. Suit is shot to pieces and I think my left arm is broke. I dunno what the heck the army was doing but they lost a few choppers back there. Rad is getting to me I think, its all going blurry. Some dude is booming at me, just about splitting my head open. I have multiple tasks open in my PDA and dont know which one to prioritise, but I'm heading deeper into the plant.
Can someone bring some extra ammo for the GP37 and med kits, please hurry,
Zap.

Same Same----Mayday---Mayday

Request emergancy airdrop of suit, ammo, 'nades and a new GP37 and Tunder S-14.

The issue is in doubt....

Entrance to NPP----Grid coordinates : .....PZ301993....will mark with green smoke....

Request artillery supression barrage to commence 5 minutes before drop----end as birds approach DZ.

Enemy gunships in airspace----request air superiority over DZ at least 10 minutes before drop....

Sitrep: Supplies non-existant, suit shot to heck, ammo critical----Morale however, is HIGH!

The situation is excellent----I attack!

NOTE: I did find a new suit in a shell hole back in Pripiyat....Had to change suits in all of 3 seconds as a guy would pop out and blast you....

hairy...

I LOVE this game.....
