The word "paradox" is often used interchangeably with "contradiction". Often, mistakenly, it is used to describe situations that are ironic.

Isn't rain in Clear Sky a contradiction?
Isn't it also ironic?
Blah

Besides, DirectX 10 is coming out on Linux anyway.

So how exactly does Clear Sky fit into the story? I've heard it's a prequel, and I think I sort of understand- the idea being that a big blowout just occurred, and everything is screwy, and so the Zone in Shadow of Chernobyl was relatively quiet and peaceful, having calmed down since the first blast. Is this true?
Edit: And about STALKER in general, I must give my appreciation for how closely it has taken the real-world places like the Red Forest and integrated them into the game. It's very surreal. I also recommend Roadside Picnic for anyone who enjoys STALKER :thumb:

Partly, based on what I read I wouldn't say it's relatively quiet and peaceful (hint: war of factions) ;)

No, what I'm saying is that from what I've read, the Zone is in so much turmoil in Clear Sky that by the time Shadow of Chernobyl has come around, the Zone is quiet and peaceful by comparison.

Could this have been part of the reason for Clear Sky's delay?

I doubt it, IMHO the only reason is inability to realistically evaluate resources and abilities ;)
