The notion that a new Stalker game will kill the old Stalker game modding scenes is so funny to me as a Bethesda game mod maker. Morrowind's modding community is still very much alive and well despite Skyrim being a massively more popular game.
I disagree, why? All those modders are gonna turn to make mods for the new STALKER game. But here is the catch, I'm grateful for the mod community because those people kept the scene alive all these years.
@@LoneWolfFromEast I'm sure there'll be modders who can't afford a rig that can run S2 and will keep Anomaly and the old 3 base games alive too... (I say this as somebody who recently got a new rig build and is VERY excited to finally get his hands on S2.)
@@DutchThriceman Oh, I agree. Modern PC built is expensive and we shouldn't expect some big mod like anomaly for S2 at least for a couple of years. Which is OK because till that time nowadays CPU/GPU are going to be much cheaper. I remember back in 2007 I could barely run SOC on medium/low settings. Now I'm ready, all these years gaming stayed as my number one hobby.
I once saw a video of a Ukrainian soldier said that STALKER taught him how to shoot a GL, and he proceeded to do it, and he said “Give me STALKER 2 for free!” And if he’s dead rn, I will actually crash out
I can't believe that game comes out TOMORROW. Even though I won't be able to play it right then and there because of power outages and no preload option for PC, we are SO CLOSE to experiencing what it is to be a stalker again.
For someone living in a country from the former soviet "union" regime - STALKER doesn't feel post-apo. Quite contrary... There was a running joke that if you had any skill useful in gaming developement - it's almost certain that you've worked in GSC.
Pruvit hakhuy! First, thank you for the mention in the video! And soon we all together will touch this map in PDA and.. physically 😏 Tomorrow is a truly historic day and the Stalker community will only begin to gain momentum! I hope to play 21-22 with power outages, but I'm still on such a hype and very excited! And today is the 1000th day of war. Thanks for everyone who helped us see the release through the thorny path!
Yup! Let's pray for the never-resting DTEK heroes to keep us supplied with electricity)) I myself won't be able to play for at least a week, but I truly hope that our Ukrainian gamers and content makers will be able enjoy the game right the moment it releases
The worst part about all these new creators with these insane video titles is that since I do STALKER content, I keep getting recommend their videos. Literally my entire homepage is "10 THINGS YOU DIDNT KNOW ABOUT STALKER 2" and then some lore video slop a random dude put together that uses fake lore from GAMMA
Similar situation for Half Life. It's mindboggling to me that there are people out there that think that Black Mesa is essentially just an graphics upgrade of Half Life - which couldn't be further from the truth.
Let's not forget all those creators mentioning "STALKER 1" in their videos. Sometimes they don't even mean SoC, they just have no idea what the previous games were.
Get ready kuzz i was the first 1 on you tube to post baldurs gate 3 content spoilers kuzz I was days ahead of everyone else LOL. People got so mad. My streams were getting 3000 views lol.
Newbies, TRY to NOT use fast travel if it even exists in the game. I know it can feel tedious and maybe its a personal opinion but just walking places feels like tense business. It's one of those games where fetch quests can lead into big fights or getting jumped by random mutants or you just stumble upon the randomess shit ever.
They have to find a guide to fast travel. Other than that they're on their own. This is not like any open world game where you can open a map and just fast travel to the nearest checkpoint
The fundamental issue with fast travel ironicaly enough is the quests not the mechanic itself. If the quests are local and progress in only in a certain direction,you dont need fast travel,like in the witcher or new Vegas. If the quests jump from one side of the map to the other...than you cant play without it. Even gamma gets a bit tedious without it.
Plus fast travel can screw you anyway as you'll be dropped in a location with everything spawning at the same time - have messed up playthroughs because of this
True STALKER fans like myself look past the bugs due to the fact the studio put their soul into these games. The fact everyone appreciates the bugs because of their authenticity just makes the games even more nostalgic. The upgrade to a more stable and more comprehensive engine is every STALKER fans dream. “Welcome to The Zone STALKER”
@@Eli-ou4yqconsole players will never have the same nostalgic feeling and experience we had back in ‘07. The older I get the more little things I appreciate even more and this game proved and withstood the test of time.

Stalker is always better when it's designed and finetuned by the devs. I love the modpack Old World Addons for Anomaly, but replaying the official game made me realize how much the AI is downgraded in Anomaly and much of the spawns doesn't make any sense because of the unlocked A-Life. There is even a ton of hit reaction/vaulting animations for the npcs in Clear Sky, something completely cut in mods like Anomaly.

@@mikeity2009 I know you just want to keep repeating that word, but for the most part, it’s true. The placement of factions and spawns in SoC/CoP is very deliberate. Mutant species are introduced gradually throughout the game, and they’re tied to the lore of specific locations. Sometimes I wonder why people like you still follow this IP when they don’t seem to enjoy much about it. Praising one aspect of it shouldn’t feel like such a personal affront.
I will not play this day 1. Because my computer is on it's way to my house. So i first need to prepare it. After that, there will no longer be a need for other games.
This game seems to be the first game im genuinely hyped for in years. I never played the originals but the hype has gripped me and everything I've heard and seen seems rdr2 expectations. Ill be playing on series x, can anyone actually explain the stone throwing animation that the player seems to do constantly, is that a constant thing you gotta do or is it just certain hotspots?
Not stone comrade But bolts. They are throwing bolts The use of these bolts is to trigger an anomaly if there's one nearby. Anomaly is an energy phenomenon in the zone that can be dangerous to anyone They can vary from vortex, gravity,fire, electric,etc. Not to mention these anomalies are hard to see especially at night time, so be careful with running without knowing what's in front of you because if you step on one, it's going to hurt.

Wow that's really cool, damn I'm ready to nosedive this game! I'm super intrigued with the enemy and world ai, you old and bold lot got my expectations mega high lol
@@ricksanchez3218 you're going to like it! Stalker has a variety of enemies and they have a system called "A life 2.0" which makes the zone even more alive with both humans and mutants having their own routine in the zone. Roaming around,hunting,resting,etc. A life was ahead of its time back then in the first game(stalker shadow of Chornobyl 2007) See you in the zone! And good hunting stalker!
Dude I love stalker 2 so much. I bought the original trilogy on Xbox when it released but it got put on the back burner because of SoTE. Once they get a life 2.0 sorted out and factions actually functioning this will 100% be the best game of its kind. Edit: I used to game on PC but as I'm getting older it's just not comfortable anymore. I really wish they would add a way to play anomaly on console.
Title absolutely nailed it... all these people speculating and conjecting "what it should be" it's like the shock that Starfield was a Bethesda game. Now mind you they migrated to UE5 and that is why it looks great (and requires a supercomputer) but it all points to a healthy future aka modding
Something I hate about myself is that I just can't stop hoarding weapons, armors, and items. Be it Skyrim, Dying Light, or Stalker, I just can't help but be a hoarder and that also makes me abuse the fast travel in Anomaly and every time I travel back and forth... More items as the enemies have respawned..
STALKER has always been its own game, there's really no other game like it. Not Fallout and not Metro, if you go in expecting Metro you'll be disappointed.
I am morally obligated to play STALKER 2 because some of my RL friends were its devs. Not like I have something against it. I just hope it will be closer to Call of Prypiat in its design than to Clear Sky. I just loved CoP's reliance on interesting quests an colorful NPCs and not on main mystery that isn't that interesting at all... Also I do hope that while they use some visuals from mods, it won't translate to game design. I like having fun in games, and my definition of fun doesn't involve constantly cutting off my hands with rusty sawblade.
Glad I come across your channel man. I preordered years ago and have since built up my rig. My 4090 24GB OC GPU is going to chew this up and I'm like a crank addict in waiting for his next fix. I don't make gaming content, but it almost feels like I'd be doing a disservice in failing to do so with this kind of equipment lol. Can't beat STALKER!
I'm looking forward to Stalker 2. I considered pre-ordering it for a while but couldn't bring myself to do it. I don't doubt that the game will be good, I've just been burned by preordering games in the past. I am looking forward to the game, I'll just need to see it first, and then all that meaningless anxiety will evaporate.
why tf would you ever preorder a game? you can literally just pirate it and see if its good, if it is you can buy it, people really love wasting their moneys
i preordered this game back in 2021 around the time they unlocked preorders and i highly doubt ill regret that decision sure it may not be the same team as old stalkers but i have a strong feeling they know what theyre doing
Everyone thinking this is another Fallout will have a rude awakening 😂 Its the zone,so you better be prepared, Vodka and a silencer, radiation kit,but most of all, your mind is your most important weapon
stalker is a game where you are MEANT to die. That is pretty much the only way of moving forward. You WILL make one wrong step in an anomaly. You WILL run out of ammo and get torn apart by dogs. It's a right of passage.
About the upgrade... I have 16gb of ram an playing 1.00 it was crashing every 5 minutes. So i bought some ram from random guy and it was not working, painted sticks with heatsink slapped on ( s к а м). So i bought ram on reputable shop... It was faulty too. Patch 1.0.3 dropped and it's no longer crash! With 16gb ram... Even on Linux 😮
With my playthrough I'm going to only save in intervals of 15mins and cannot reload unless I die. 15mins is for game stability and not losing much progress. It'll help me get out of that F9 habit just because something didn't go the why I liked. If I quick load I lose some progress, this applies a need for focus and just enough pressure that I won't just stand still and die as an excuse to reload. If I die and reload the save timer resets to 15min. Only exception will be arch anomlies which are going to take a while and look like a puzzle which I will enjoy figuring out. When the clock strikes midnight of November 20th tomorrow. It shall mark the start of a new day, the 21st, and with it so to will the download of S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 Heart of Chornobyl begins. With my Australian internet... it shall be completed in ~10-13.5 hours. At least I'll be able to enter Zone later that day at night.
@@tanostrelok2323 I'll be using manual saves for these saves. Quicksaves are useful but I always prefer a hard save. Quicksaves I'll probably use if I testing something in the game, if a bug happens even or if I'm trying to break the game for fun to see if something works. The main I doing this is to keep myself motivated to continue rather than reload a save and keep going until I get it perfect. Adds weight to reloading a save. So easy to press that F9 key just because didn't go the way I wanted... trying to stop doing that.
I'm glad i waited till a month ago to get a gaming pc for stalker 2 so i avoided the Intel fiasco with their 14th gen processors. -Vs.- buying the pc last year. Granted last year AMD shit was sounding like it was exploding and the processors expanding and warping- (might have been 2 years back- its been a blur)
I never played a stalker game. I do play "some" Tarkov. It's been a long time i got exited for a game. I just hope its not going to be CP2077 at launch.
@@CartRay-gf2tp noo way! People are saying that? There's A-life alright many characteristically A-life things have happened on my streams even. I'm making a review in progress so I'll touch on it specifically. Thanks for letting me know about this.
GSG is not bethesda, they dont ignore the relevance of mod comunity, they gave their engine source code for player to do what they want with their franchise, but be aware, anomaly and similars, are followups or "soups" of things some players wanted from a not fully realised game. Stalker was ahead of its time but could not deliver everything they intended, S2 need to be a stalker game, not a mech up of things, not a souls like MISERY level masterpiece... after we assimilate what we can, is just a waitting game to see the dlcs and mod comunity taking over.
For the new guys getting into stalker, the one thing you should know right off the bat is you will die alot and the faster you can accept that, the more fun (and funny) it becomes
Deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants, anarchist, and bandits.... None will stop Duty on its triumphant March towards saving the planet! The world's fears the Zone's expansion. Join Duty and save the innocent. Stalker protect the world from the Zone, join Duty!
yes they will. oh well. p.s. I was talking about the actual size and scope of the game. But sure, I guess that gauging worldwide interest should count as a part of that too.
I watched a German streamer talking about the latest STALKER2 news, there was a Russian troll (presumably) in the chat talking about GSC didn't pull off the optimisation for Xbox Ones and it runs bad and on the Xbox One X it runs only at 30 FPS if we watched at the leaked builds and talking about how """"leaked"""" IGN review scores are 7.5. He was so desperate that he even used google translator to put it in German, but the streamer only read one comment and ignored the other. I don't have to say that all of this is bollocks, especially the talk about "latest builds" or that IGN doesn't give float numbers as rating, they give it in integers. I find it infuriating and hope it was just a troll because if he actually believed that stuff...boy must be dumb as hell!
I have a question ? does it have randomize anomaly location like it should be in the lore ? in stalker 1 anomaly are always at the same place but all the mods made it lorewise with anomaly who change location and I hope for stalker 2 they attempted to do the same
@lmao.3661 that's right, but when everyone makes a pogface looking at stalker 2 and praises it for graphics, It's like they haven't seen modded stalker. Honestly, I'm not expecting anything from stalker 2, but if it at least delivers the same atmosphere with new graphics and guns on a stable engine, it will be great. I'm pretty pessimistic about how other aspects might turn out, but I want to believe
@@borisbritva1665though the thing is is that original stalker was never about cool guns, stability and astonishing graphics - gunpack was cringy, engine complete mess such “values”, which totally made stalker much more popular in western europe in recent years, were cultivated by popular anomaly and gamma so as long as stalker 2 remains STALKER, and not some tarkov-a-like slop just in zone locations, it would suffice me
@@azure8433 yes, most western players only see pew pew and suka blyat, when I see neighborhoods from my childhood and a completely unexplainable atmosphere seeping through everything in the original Shadow of Chernobyl. CS was a bit off in some places, COP was objectively better at everything than SOC except they missed the atmosphere that time and the story was pretty much nonexistent. I've been playing all of them since i was like 10, because before that I was looking at my uncle playing it and shitting my pants from every mutant, couldn't even bear it for 5 minutes, lol
@@borisbritva1665 true. i think that’s why it became a cultural phenomenon in CIS and eastern europe regions in the first place. people did relate with atmosphere and level design, grimy soviet-post soviet architecture, folklore and so on and i guess nostalgia plays a certain role when we remember first games with such warmth as well
The last time someone praised something like this on the internet before it was a done deal, Tyson lost on points and the bookies made a ton of money :)))

Glad I come across your channel man. I preordered years ago and have since built up my rig. My 4090 24GB OC GPU is going to chew this up and I'm like a crank addict in waiting for his next fix.
I don't make gaming content, but it almost feels like I'd be doing a disservice in failing to do so with this kind of equipment lol. Can't beat STALKER!
I know it's not the highest option for a upgrade but this game is why I bought a 3080 and rebuilt my entire pc from the ground up! Even a new case lol
I'm looking forward to Stalker 2. I considered pre-ordering it for a while but couldn't bring myself to do it. I don't doubt that the game will be good, I've just been burned by preordering games in the past. I am looking forward to the game, I'll just need to see it first, and then all that meaningless anxiety will evaporate.
why tf would you ever preorder a game? you can literally just pirate it and see if its good, if it is you can buy it, people really love wasting their moneys
i preordered this game back in 2021 around the time they unlocked preorders and i highly doubt ill regret that decision sure it may not be the same team as old stalkers but i have a strong feeling they know what theyre doing
IDK man you could have just paid for 2 months of gamepass and played it till you were sick of it lol. I'll see if it was worth the 12 bucks.
@CheddarbobOriginal i dont have xbox nor do i eant to buy something from microsoft
so yes I'd rather spend 40 or whatever dollars
Xbox series console and gamepass combines is every gamer wilds dream 💚
great video, great to know Slidan is alive
much love
Everyone thinking this is another Fallout will have a rude awakening 😂
Its the zone,so you better be prepared, Vodka and a silencer, radiation kit,but most of all, your mind is your most important weapon
Gamma is game for tryhards its just using stalker engine and maps
But its not stalker
neither is this
stalker is a game where you are MEANT to die. That is pretty much the only way of moving forward. You WILL make one wrong step in an anomaly. You WILL run out of ammo and get torn apart by dogs. It's a right of passage.
My 4090 is ready, I cant wait just to take the zone in and explore every nook and cranny
This game got me to finally grab a 4090 and every screen in the house was replaced to OLED. I have issues 🤣
Thank you for the key Misha Wouldn't have been possible to play the game Day 1 without you ❤ Great video as always!
9:50 Ах ти, Слимааааак!
my y720 laptop has to do it, frame generation, water cooling....ill try them all.

About the upgrade... I have 16gb of ram an playing 1.00 it was crashing every 5 minutes. So i bought some ram from random guy and it was not working, painted sticks with heatsink slapped on ( s к а м). So i bought ram on reputable shop... It was faulty too. Patch 1.0.3 dropped and it's no longer crash! With 16gb ram... Even on Linux 😮
Guys pro tip you can just lower the resolution like in the good old days.☺️😉
With my playthrough I'm going to only save in intervals of 15mins and cannot reload unless I die. 15mins is for game stability and not losing much progress. It'll help me get out of that F9 habit just because something didn't go the why I liked. If I quick load I lose some progress, this applies a need for focus and just enough pressure that I won't just stand still and die as an excuse to reload. If I die and reload the save timer resets to 15min.
Only exception will be arch anomlies which are going to take a while and look like a puzzle which I will enjoy figuring out.
When the clock strikes midnight of November 20th tomorrow. It shall mark the start of a new day, the 21st, and with it so to will the download of S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 Heart of Chornobyl begins. With my Australian internet... it shall be completed in ~10-13.5 hours. At least I'll be able to enter Zone later that day at night.
You can just hard save the game, if it still works like in xray, you can even do it from the console
@@tanostrelok2323 I'll be using manual saves for these saves. Quicksaves are useful but I always prefer a hard save. Quicksaves I'll probably use if I testing something in the game, if a bug happens even or if I'm trying to break the game for fun to see if something works.
The main I doing this is to keep myself motivated to continue rather than reload a save and keep going until I get it perfect. Adds weight to reloading a save.
So easy to press that F9 key just because didn't go the way I wanted... trying to stop doing that.
Чудово! Слідан з'являється тут частіше, ніж на своєму каналі
I was going to get Xbox gamepass just to play it . I bought the trilogy on steam and psn … i got anomaly with my own mod list im so ready
just play soc and cop with gunslinger mod
I can't wait to play this. But, I am going to wait a few weeks to see if it has issues on launch. Been burned too many times.
7800x3d and a 4070 Ti Super I’m ready(SpongeBob voice).
43 year old Stalker virgin here. I'm a big fan of the Metro games. This will be my first stalker experience
Christmas is 48 Hours away!
I'm glad i waited till a month ago to get a gaming pc for stalker 2 so i avoided the Intel fiasco with their 14th gen processors. -Vs.- buying the pc last year. Granted last year AMD shit was sounding like it was exploding and the processors expanding and warping- (might have been 2 years back- its been a blur)
I never played a stalker game. I do play "some" Tarkov. It's been a long time i got exited for a game. I just hope its not going to be CP2077 at launch.
Dont think Nvidia lied with fps graphs

what about it?
@@cantgamerightnon existent apparently
@@CartRay-gf2tp noo way! People are saying that? There's A-life alright many characteristically A-life things have happened on my streams even. I'm making a review in progress so I'll touch on it specifically. Thanks for letting me know about this.
OMG Slidan is still alive
GSG is not bethesda, they dont ignore the relevance of mod comunity, they gave their engine source code for player to do what they want with their franchise, but be aware, anomaly and similars, are followups or "soups" of things some players wanted from a not fully realised game. Stalker was ahead of its time but could not deliver everything they intended, S2 need to be a stalker game, not a mech up of things, not a souls like MISERY level masterpiece... after we assimilate what we can, is just a waitting game to see the dlcs and mod comunity taking over.
I rewatched 9:28 this moment lots of time, and f* this still makes me smiling. xD
So pumped for STALKER 2!
For the new guys getting into stalker, the one thing you should know right off the bat is you will die alot and the faster you can accept that, the more fun (and funny) it becomes
Bought a new pc for this and now I won a copy of the game, god bless faction wars (still waiting for mol1t to contact me xd)
Deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants, anarchist, and bandits.... None will stop Duty on its triumphant March towards saving the planet!

@crocadillius6418 I'm gonna push you into a gravitational anomaly
3900x 32 gbs aram nd 5700xt so i'm doing alright that should be high on 1080P
I wanna preorder, but I can't. I've been hurt too often and I just can’t even. I hope its good. I need a good game to no life for a while.
im typing with that keyboard right now
Where can I watch your live stream?
Right here on RUclips!
No a-life, Npc's spawn on top of you instead.
Where's this masterful game you've telling us about for years buddy?
This
I cant wait for gamma 2
Christ i cant wait for this to release
Hope that me coming from stalker anomaly will feel at home
cant wait but 35 weapons is joke for that huge map
isnt that less than original games? inb4 redditors cry about anomaly or gamma
Ive been playing Palworld so im ready
the biggest game of the year. I think millions of chinese journey to the west obsessives will take issue with that
yes they will. oh well.
p.s. I was talking about the actual size and scope of the game. But sure, I guess that gauging worldwide interest should count as a part of that too.
Technically Chernobyl is the Northwest 😂
I feel like a little kid before birthday!!!
"GSC Game World said it tried using procedural generation for some elements of the game, but it just didn't fit."-PC GAMER
I watched a German streamer talking about the latest STALKER2 news, there was a Russian troll (presumably) in the chat talking about GSC didn't pull off the optimisation for Xbox Ones and it runs bad and on the Xbox One X it runs only at 30 FPS if we watched at the leaked builds and talking about how """"leaked"""" IGN review scores are 7.5.
He was so desperate that he even used google translator to put it in German, but the streamer only read one comment and ignored the other. I don't have to say that all of this is bollocks, especially the talk about "latest builds" or that IGN doesn't give float numbers as rating, they give it in integers.
I find it infuriating and hope it was just a troll because if he actually believed that stuff...boy must be dumb as hell!
game named "Stalker" is Stalker game, no way
finally someone calling out all the bs, ive been sick of it ngl
stalker 2 fans glazing the f out of the game while saying its better than Gamma and Anomaly for the 100th time be like:
Idk how you can deal damage to people who like hurting themselves...
Deepthroating it before it's even out, gamers are so dumb.
Gamma and Anomaly wouldn’t be a thing without the original Stalkers 🤣
Gammatards BTFO
My garbage can is better than Gamma and Anomaly.
Great video. I wish you a good hunting, stalker.
I played through the start and wow, it's just how I expected it. Runs good and looks good on Series X but I guess won't run so good on Series S.
I have a question ? does it have randomize anomaly location like it should be in the lore ? in stalker 1 anomaly are always at the same place but all the mods made it lorewise with anomaly who change location and I hope for stalker 2 they attempted to do the same
@@aether3395 no lol, expect a consolized version of og games
Shoutout to the CIA fr fr.
Love you man ♥
thank you for making the important acknowledgement that stalker is a part of the war that russia will do their best to attack
All I know is there better be baddies in the zone
I actually upgrade my GPU and CPU for this game
Yeeehaaaw wild north here I come!!
Cool video! Hello from Ukraine!
super excited
i'll miss double crouch
Como que stalker 2 no es como gamma? quee
Aun no es como gamma* hay que tenerle fe al grok
I need this in vr like now pls
'Everyone'
I wasn't looking at the screen when he said "thank you to the CIA".. I was like wtf
I don't think it's the game you should upgrade your rig for. It looks like a game from 2016. Original modded stalker looks mostly like stalker 2.
I don't understand the "this looks like a game from the late 2010s" bit when graphics peaked in the late 2010s
@lmao.3661 that's right, but when everyone makes a pogface looking at stalker 2 and praises it for graphics, It's like they haven't seen modded stalker. Honestly, I'm not expecting anything from stalker 2, but if it at least delivers the same atmosphere with new graphics and guns on a stable engine, it will be great. I'm pretty pessimistic about how other aspects might turn out, but I want to believe
@@borisbritva1665though the thing is is that original stalker was never about cool guns, stability and astonishing graphics - gunpack was cringy, engine complete mess
such “values”, which totally made stalker much more popular in western europe in recent years, were cultivated by popular anomaly and gamma
so as long as stalker 2 remains STALKER, and not some tarkov-a-like slop just in zone locations, it would suffice me
@@azure8433 yes, most western players only see pew pew and suka blyat, when I see neighborhoods from my childhood and a completely unexplainable atmosphere seeping through everything in the original Shadow of Chernobyl. CS was a bit off in some places, COP was objectively better at everything than SOC except they missed the atmosphere that time and the story was pretty much nonexistent. I've been playing all of them since i was like 10, because before that I was looking at my uncle playing it and shitting my pants from every mutant, couldn't even bear it for 5 minutes, lol
@@borisbritva1665 true. i think that’s why it became a cultural phenomenon in CIS and eastern europe regions in the first place. people did relate with atmosphere and level design, grimy soviet-post soviet architecture, folklore and so on
and i guess nostalgia plays a certain role when we remember first games with such warmth as well
The last time someone praised something like this on the internet before it was a done deal, Tyson lost on points and the bookies made a ton of money :)))
Yaaay!
About time for GSC to spill the beans.
