Hey! It's Maiman! Where have you been man!
I was about to do refurbish this place. I guess I can forget about that now.
There's a good chance that by the time Stalker 2 comes out, which
hypothetically would be 2019-2020 at the soonest ( took 2 years to
do a facelift or updated graphics for Cossacks 3 ) that we would have
a new forum like it does replacing this one. However if you think this
place is dead, you should check on the Russian GSC Forums. The place
has been almost totally deserted since they have their multitude of many
Russian based forums, no doubt partly due to the Ukrainian-Russian War.
Don't fret man, now that GSC has launched Cossacks 3 to relatively mixed reviews, the sky is the limit for Stalker 2.
Then again, Cossacks 3 got it's own fancy forum on the new site, so it's not like GSC would just make a new forum on the fancy new site for stalker 2 if they did. Forgetting us all in the process.
It looks like you were last in this bar on January 24, 2013 ( page 489 ).
You were mentioned many times here since then and I think the bar has
been burned and destroyed a couple of times before long stretches of
being deserted. The Backwater Bar is fairly empty too as the regulars
that went there are missing from the Zone also. Pretty much the Zoners
& Loners Bar minus Siro is still active. That's where I would go to look
for any others. The only reason I noticed you so quickly in the Out in the
Stix Bar is that no one ever goes there anymore or this forum in general.
Glad to hear you are doing okay minus the nuts part. However I don't
really think that's anything new. Now that it's been 6-7 years since the
last Stalker Game was released, the forums are less active as the old days.
The General section Forum is probably more active than you've ever seen.
I would give it a look and see if there's some interesting stuff to participate in.
Not much happened, went a little crazy for a while. Still kind of am, then again maybe I always was a little nuts. Now I'm a little on the medicated side. Been playing Call of Chernobyl recently and realized I haven't talked to my good buddies in a while, though I can't remember how long it's been since I last spoke to you guys since my memory isn't really so tip top anymore.
Long story short, I'm nuts and I'm back.
So what's new with you Tejas? Also what happened to this bar since I left? It's pretty empty. It needs a weather machine or two to bring people back I think.
Is it time for Prof. Maiman to begin a new reign of chaos?
