    Stalker is awesome. Although i find aiming a bit, how you say, it felt really uneasy. Like in CS or HL2, i know exactly how to point my gun at someone and just shoot and in Stalker it just felt weird. Like i wasn't able to shoot very well. Still got quite some kills in the E3 stalker tournament though, was fun

    Have u tried BIA?

    :roll:

    Rolleyes me, but that's how i feel. I just really dislike how you people wave away arguments with stuff like this. At least write something that makes sense, or just don't start a discussion.

    U know, Auswitz was liberated by soldiers fighting on the front. Imvho it was worth fighting for, but i can understand that u dont think so and u would voluntarily live in the camp instead of liberating it by risking ur own lifes for other ppl. Todays youth is too selfcentered and naive

    Dont take 'dying for their country' too literal. With country, were not talking about a piece of land, but ofcourse all the ppl in it as well, ur family and friends, its culture and all the animals too. Living for ur country is impossible when the nazis are castrating and exterminating ur race. Death on the front is a glorious and romantic experience if the alternative is auswitz, which we would be living in now if these graves hadnt existed.

    I know the silly things they teach in artschool about other ppl being inferior ('just entertainers'), but i am glad that there are ppl who know that art is bullshit that even 3 month old babies can make, and that these ppl just make awesome maps that dont need to be hung in museums. Videogames arent created by smiting paint on a board by chance, but pure skill and talent.

    And just to get back on topic, yes the pictures could have been more dramatic and tell a bigger and different story, but there is glory in dying for ur country, and these pictures show it

    These pictures tell a tale that is invisible to men who dont believe in glory and the fatherland, but to others is bright as the stars in a far away land liberated by fallen comrades

    Quote from DaanO

    In didn't say those should be, i said the photos should. The fact that Steppenwolf saw these graves as an opportunity to get pretty photos (he succeeded well) is what i mean. I think good photos should be more than just a pretty picture, they should tell a story, be, well, interesting. I don't consider dying for your country to be something glorious, never. Photos should tell that.

    Steppenwolf: I know, shots are well taken and all

    Well it should tell a story but not your story. Like he said there are no filters on it so it just shows a story u disagree with. The beauty of these pictures is they have confronted ur purile eyes with the shocking reality that there is in fact great glory in dying for ur country. If u disagree with this, remember he wasnt photographing u

    In every american movie the american graves are portrayed as grand monuments filled with heroes. These pictures opened my beautiful eyes and made me realise the russians have heroes too, much more then any other people which has fought wars.

    And Daano, these are wargraves. Im sure when u die fighting against the mocro Jihadists in Holland, u would like ur depressing torn down grave to be visited by the grandchildren u werent able to make and have them take home ominous pictures to show their friends and say: Hey, this is the rubble of my grandfathers grave, i added extra filters over it to make it more forsaken, out of respect for his sacrifice to my freedom.

    But me, and probably the rest of the free world, would like my grave to be a grand monument of courage visited by millions of pilgrims in joy.
