Entry for February 14, 2008

Hôm nay đẹp trời, mình xin giới thiệu đến các bạn 1 siêu phẩm của THQ và GSC Game World
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. : Shadow of Chernobyl
(Scavengers, Trepassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killers, Explorers, Robbers)

The game has used the most advance tech in the gaming industry like: Normal Mapping, Dynamic Lighting, Vertical Sync, Multisamples Anti Aliasing, and the most unique A-life Engine
A-life Engine can creat bots just like ordinary people with thought and action.
In game there are others people as well, they could be Merc, Military, or other Stalkers. They are friendly, neutral or hostile according to ur behaviors. "A world in a game", like they said.
After "roaming" around 4 a little, I discorved that I'm not alone, there are other stalkers watching me. And u could just go around, to view The Zone (the contaminated area) The first encounter in game with a "lovely" mutant pig. As u proceed thru the game, u will know that The Zone is filled with "mutants" human and animal alike. The game also introduces a new face of FPS, the RPG-FPS. With inventory, carry limit, and many more And this is our home, Chernobyl NPP. Some info about the Zone:
- The disaster occured at 1:23 AM local time April 26 1986, the fourth reactor exploded during the experiment of the worker. At that time the computer-controlled safety system was disabled
- Problems occurred during the tests: The reactor did not receive enough coolant, had built up too much heat in core the and had fully withdrawn control rods , all of which contributed to unstable and unpredictable reactor operation.
- The reactor produced tremendous amounts of steam, eventually causing a steam break/explosion, which destroyed part of the reactor. After the explosion, graphite fires broke out, due to the high temperatures of the reactor and the graphite's exposure to oxygen. Radioactive debris was flung several miles, and smoke containing radioactive contaminants from the burning graphite traveled as far as Belarus.
- 600.000 peoples was considered as "Liqidators" during 1986-1989
- 116.000 was evacuated from "Highly-contaminated" Zone in 1986
OK, I'll call it a day and stop, thanks 4 reading this intro
