I decided to start this tread. So 500 things I learned in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:

1: Stalker jokes are NOT funny.
2: In The Zone even knifes mutate... When you stab someone with one they fly away like they just got shot with a shotgun from 1 meter.
3: People got so depressive there they even start talking to themselves while sitting arround a campfire in a group.
4: Everyone buys their boots from the same guy.
5: In the Zone you get that fast you can reload any gun in 1.5 seconds.
6: Stalkers are sometimes good guitarists.

So this are the 6 thing I've learned in The Zone. And what did you guys learn? Post it don't be shy;)!

I can't carry more than 60kg, but I can fit 600,000+ RU in my coat pockets.

Please number your reply's... So next is 8 I guess.

8. You can get shot 10 times in the chest and still stand and run around.
9. You can die in one day from radiation which almost always takes a few weeks.
10. Stalkers cannot jump. It's a known fact of life.
11. If you find a house with the light on inside don't worry, it's just a mutant that SOMEHOW learned to make a camp fire.
12. Some doors have been wielded into pixel skins from the mass radiation so you can't open them.
13. Some buildings don't even HAVE DOORS!
14. You're trapped inside no matter what but somehow a fat guy inside a cage can import and export weapons?
15. Anomalies never react to rocks or trees or leaves or other elements but always react to bolts, Natures mechanic.
16. Somehow when you get scratched GIANT SCRATCH MARKS APPEAR ON YOUR EYES AHHHH!!!!
17. It takes thousands of years for mutation to become part of the Y and X Dna but the zone has such a high radiation amount it only took 20 or so years.
19. Nerds who would risk arm and limb to prove someone wrong in the zone always get minced for mutant food.

24. Everyone in the zone has teamed up to work against you.
25. Where the hell did those mutated horses go?
26. For some reason none of the cars work but no threat, there still there so you have something to get cornered against.
27. If you find a big swirling vortex, Go poke it with a stick.
28. The worst mutant in the zone is.....lag.
29. You can manage to afford billions of rubbles worth of money, Buy the most high tech weapons, get helicopters, Missles, and special suits, But you can't afford to get your gun fixed.
