I was preparing my best goofy Bob Saget voice to commentate, but then the dog violently exploded in mid-air.

Not that I have any problem with an easy time I am a wuss, after all.) This dog got caught up in the "whirligig" anomaly (I love the little detail of how all the anomalies have names that were clearly created on the fly by unimaginative Stalkers).

I imagine most of that mod went towards fixing the jank, in a similar fashion as the fan-made mods for Troika games, rather than giving me too much of an easy time with additional freebies.

As well as a big graphical boost and a better looking UI and HUD, it fixed a lot of issues I had with the game's more stringent elements, like having no way to repair gear without taking it to one of three vendors and paying an exorbitant sum. (Another disclaimer: After the Comic Commish, I took the advice of some of the commenters and installed the 2009 Complete Mod. Like one step removed of telling them to erect a giant statue in your honor.) It feels weird telling people to bookmark your content. Naturally, there will be spoilers for STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl out of the wazoo ahead if you intend to play it yourselves first and just want a quick appraisal of the game's quality some eight years after the fact, check out the original Comic Commish (it doesn't leave the opening area, really) and bookmark this article for later. What follows is an in-depth rundown of each section of the game - the setting of the Zone is broken up into discrete areas separated by narrow transition points, sort of like Xenoblade Chronicles or Borderlands, and each has a specific story-critical mission attached to it - and how the game will switch between its more gunplay-active, eerily suspenseful or stealthy infiltration (though never the forced kind, thankfully) modes. To stop discussing the game only after experiencing its opening chapters, as the Comic Commish did, would be a disservice to the superior mid- to late-game scenarios it presents. Point is, the game is of that rare breed that become more engrossing and fascinating the further you get into it, rather than the standard inverse with longer games - and especially open-world games - where it often becomes a race between reaching the game's climax and completely losing interest and dropping out. The game builds up to these spooky encounters, treating them as part and parcel of the game's secondary (though really primary) central mystery of what the Zone actually is and what exactly lies at its center. The only example I can immediately recall is Raven Software's Singularity its crumbling ex-Soviet laboratory setting probably owing a fair deal to STALKER in retrospect. I've not seen a full-blooded FPS delve into horror too often, especially ones that start off as something a bit more straightforward with its early conflicts with bandits and the military. I elucidated on what appealed to me most about the game - largely its oppressive but immersive atmosphere and its borderline RPG traits of open-world exploration, inventory micromanagement and frequent equipment upgrades - but what really began to shine for me after that piece was written was the game's frequent forays into horror beats as a change of pace from the usual Call of Duty-style pitch gunfights with balaclava'd assholes.

I'm even considering adding its sequels Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat to next year's Pile of Shame list (as with anything on Steam that's over a year old, I bought the rest of the series for next to nothing on a whim thanks to a bundle or one of the digital distributor's like-clockwork seasonal sales).

What actually happened is that the game sucked me in and wouldn't let go, much like one of its deadly gravitational anomalies, and I ended up playing it to completion. Before writing about GSC Game World's 2007 FPS STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl for my monthly Comic Commish feature, I had the intention of playing enough of the game to get a decent idea of what it had to offer and then moving onto something more in my wheelhouse than some gritty, deliberately-paced FPS across a series of barren post-nuclear holocaust environments in which 80% of the voiced dialogue was in a language I couldn't understand.
