WELCOME TO THE ZONE IDIOT | Arma 3 STALKER

[@RubixRaptor]

A ton of work came from a lot of different people to put this one together. Scorch who made the mission also put a lot of work into custom mods just for this such as the Gauss rifle. Diwako helped configure the anomalies and emission which he made, and WebKnight helped us with the mutants. Glad all their work paid off in something so cool and hope it’s just as cool to watch!

Quail is my new spirit animal. Also guitar.

[@Frankabyte]

Quail's commitment to his musical craft in the face of absolutely certain (and very preventible) death is truly impressive. As for questions, will the Bosnian Knight ever make its triumphant return? And can a hot dog technically be classified as a taco?

The new content in Helldivers 2 is peak RubixRaptor material The urban combat vs the Illuminate gives me serious Arma Halo vibes, it's so good

quail isn't afraid of death when he has his sick guitar skills

[@alexfrost2799]

A lot of deaths in STALKER, and Arma 3, can be attributed to the following quote: "Never wish for danger. Danger needs no help." Tempting fate seems to still being a running theme among Ignis. And I'm all here for it lol Also, for the QnA: How many people have you had to describe your KZbin/Arma career to irl? How awkward is it?

[@Morveyn]

The evil wish genie promised me a Ferrari All I got was a hole in my chest after Monolith shot me with a gauss rifle

[@CaptainRhodor]

I love it when you turn ArmA into an RPG instead of a milsim XD Also, Quail resigning himself to death and deciding to play guitar in his last few moments instead of saving himself is a full-on vibe <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="449">7:29</a> Okay, the fucking air fryer got me good XD <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="819">13:39</a> There's something weirdly comforting and wholesome about a bunch of hardened mercs chilling in a ruined building, playing a guitar and singing some John Denver while reality collapses around them.

DUDE I ALSO FOUND THAT PIECE OF BREAD IN THE ENDGAME! I believe mine was a different armor set but I thought it was hilarious along with the other bugs in the game.

[@zachzimmerman2996]

I heard somewhere that they use them as a placeholder for the NPC armor to avoid issues or make it un-lootable.

[@Dieselkraftwerk]

The singing of country roads at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="800">13:20</a> was oddly wholesome :)

Monolith has never done anything wrong. Also, my only question is Jay last year stated that your favourite faction in 40k is tyranids would you ever start a Tyranid tabletop army?

Some questions for the End of Year Q&A: How long does it take for each mission to be crafted and play-tested? (If the latter is done) And what was YOUR game of the year?

[@arttops2563]

Some questions for the End of Year Q&A: If you could go back to when you first made your channel, would you do anything different? Is there anything you regret from doing YT? P.s. Thank you for making the art that you do, you are and inspiration and a comfort in trying and terrifying times. Thank you Jay.

a few questions for the Q&A what is your favorite video on your channel? what was your favorite op you've done and is it different from your favorite video? and lastly what is your least favorite video or one you think could have been better? P.S thank you for all your videos i have such a good time watching them and talking with my friends about them while we play ARMA

[@milordelot4684]

For the QnA: What drugs are you on?

[@ThatCannibalisticDrone]

I've been watching your content for almost 4 years now and you always manage to put a smile on my face. Question for QnA: Have there been times when you hurt your voice while recording these types of videos? Considering the sheer amount of chaos happening, I would assume so?

[@axellenhart7890]

Question. What's your favorite human supremacist faction in fiction?

[@patmatt3640]

A Q and A question from someone who only knows ignis as the cannon fodder various factions send to do missions. How did ignis come into being?

[@playwars3037]

That PDA notification sound made me search for the notification by reflex. I really need to finish Clear Sky XD (I'm on a Stalker Marathon, I just got an itty bitty bit distracted modding CS XD)

[@DrRealGaming]

Nice Stalker gameplay. But also here are some questions for the possible upcoming QnA. 1: Are there going to be more Megabomb incidents in future videos? 2: Will we see more videos against Sentiant web? (This is all I have to question for now)

[@loleo6556]

Question: any plans for a helldivers video or stream now that the squids are around?

For end of year Q&A: While the answer may be slightly obvious, what's your favourite dinosaur, and what's Ignis as a whole's favourite dinosaur? Not sure if you can get an answer to the second, but I'd like to know if possible. Thanks for the all videos you make, and merry christmas!

[@unquotablerambles]

CHEEKI BREEKI with the Ignis Comrades!! Great to see y'all tackling The Zone the Ignis way. I do have a question: What Arma ops have you wanted to play/cover that you couldn't do this year or that are simply (potentially) impossible with the Arma 3 engine? Anyway, keep up the fantastic work, enjoy the holidays, and see you fools in the next year.

Quail playing country roads during that emission was angelic, and also funny as shit.

For my QnA question: Do you plan on releasing more VR videos? Pavlov got a huge update, and i think it would be fun watching the boys suffer in vr again.

I freakin' love the Zone. Just restarted Call of Pripyat again. Heartily recommend the STALKER movie by Andrei Tarkovsky as well. Very slow paced, can be a love it or hate it thing, but I was completely spellbound by it.
