Just a quick bonus video showing off a rare weather event that can only happen at night. It actually happened once before during this playthrough, but I wasn't recording at the time. Anyway, this special anomaly was added in the Complete edition; it wasn't part of the main game. Note how it can - for a brief moment - turn night into day! Love it. Weirdly, this feature reminds me of the recent news of a meteor striking the Russian city of Chelyabinsk. Luckily, nobody got killed in that, although many people were hurt.
Link to a description of the event:
I recommend you do a search for images to see why this anomaly reminds me of that event (the Wikipedia-article lacks pictures of the actual fireball for some reason).
Let's Play STALKER-SoC-C-M - 37 - The rush begins...
With the Brain Scorcher deactivated, the rush towards the center of the zone is about to begin. Immediately, the military drops forces into the Monolith base to secure the area, while Freedom and Duty clash in other parts of the Red Forest. We, however, are not going to move in just yet. A squad of expert loners will wait for our arrival, but in the meantime we're off to do other things. Like travelling through the scary and deadly forest itself...
