Brothers in Arms, I heard it through the grapevine.

I think that ingame video jynx mentioned was a really good start to introduce players to the gameplay of stalker.

They are called "anamolies"...i hope i'm spelling that right.

Basically, by 2012 all the radioactive fallout and other "energies" have cause anamolous energy spots to pop up all around Chernobyl. Some are gravitational and can crush you or shoot you up in the air. Some are acidic and can burn you. Some are electrical and can zap you. Some do even stranger things. You will need to navigate carefully around them. Often they will be visible, other times you will need equipment to detect them (like a geiger counter similar to the HL hazard suit)

Anomalies I just hope they aren't absolutely everywhere, making traversing the landscape a depressing exercise in quick save/load.

No they're not absolutely everywhere. There are Ninja monkeys everywhere, so watch out. Supposedly the Stalker banana gun can be used like the ant-lion thing in HL2 that allows you to control ant-lions...er the Ninja monkeys. Hopefully the Ben Afleck voice over comes off right...especially with the mutant love triangle between the main character, this "hot" scientist from Chernobyl and this puffing dog faced humanoid thing. That and the Godzilla ending are my favorite parts, not to mention the contast in game advertising we're putting in. The ads will get piped in via steam and require a connection to your bank account or credit card as MP will have a $25 weekly fee. Mod support will be fee based also. Best part is it's actually not going to support any current hardware standards and only be playable on video cards released 2009. Oh one last thing, they're going to cel-shaded graphics.
