I really did love S.T.AL.K.E.R......that was an awesome game

ye, I saw that too

Just because there was a (dirty) nuclear explosion it doesn't have to mean that all things die

I know people who were there... It was nothing more then a human tragedy. Excuse my bad English... I am a Russian bear, it's hard to type with claws.

didn't say it wasn't a tragedy >,>

Heh, do you really think that it haven't touch you? That day was a south-eastern wind. Belarus, Poland, Baltic and Sweden was the first countries, who have felt a radioactive fallout coming from ChNPP. Excuse my bad English... I am a Russian bear, it's hard to type with claws.

>,< what I meant was that yes it is a tragedy and it will take a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long time for the country to fully recover (all radioactive material gone).

//the "saw" in my reply was supposed to be "say" sorry if it sounded like sarcasm or something

Mistyping leads to a misunderstanding.
Nothing personal, It was a very sad moment for all countries, but there are some people, who have this tragedy as a personal one. It's hard to talk about it, because I work on a same type power plant and there are a lot of ex-chernobylers working with me. Excuse my bad English... I am a Russian bear, it's hard to type with claws.

I kinda knew a guy who used to do tours in Chernobyl/Pripyat, was pretty vocal about having the area protected/preserved as well since post USSR gangs would sneak into the area and start looting things and selling them in foreign markets. It got to a point where even heaters were being ripped out of walls!

Haven't heard from him in a while but this video makes me want to see what he's up to now.

sarcasm doesnt work over the internets... i say tomato you say tomato.. :p In gaming terms... Life's a die, then you bich.

I remember after all the news reports died down, and people started to forgot about the aftermath, the first post-Chernobyl images I saw (other than news reports) were from Elena (http://www.kiddofspeed.com/) which gave a really different view of the area than what I would have expected.
Thanks for sharing the link, I do enjoy watching these post-disaster documentaries.

*not enjoy, enjoy...find them interesting, I mean.

Brave woman, a normal radiation environment is less then 50 mkRg/h (10 is perfect). Sometimes she got over 3000, it is a lot, believe me. Excuse my bad English... I am a Russian bear, it's hard to type with claws.
