Dang, I lost, 19 kills and only Apone made it close to escape. Vasquez and he tied for the lead with 5 each. That's pretty fun and well done. e: Man that's tough, managed to get 2 out with MVP Apone racking up 13 kills! SilvergunSuperman fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Mar 10, 2019 |

After Aliens came out, I bought an Aliens based comic that was part of a series. I bought a random issue and it wasn’t towards the beginning and wasn’t towards the end. At any rate, it was a squad of space marines moving from point A to point B on an infested planet and one of the marines was a drug addict that used a Carmex-like tin of gel that she rubbed on her lips to get high. Parallel to this story was another story of a hulking brute of an Android who was protecting a medlab or a science outpost of some kind against the Xenomorph hordes using his fists and a squad of cobbled together droids and robots. The drugged out marine gets more wigged out and the squad of cobbled together robots are shown to have compassion and personality and when the inevitable encounter occurs, the wigged our marine blows away the Android’s lil’ buddy robot by accident and only the Laws of Robotics prevents the Android from kicking the crap out of Drug Marine. There’s the inevitable big battle and the Marines escape and all the robots and the Android sacrifice themselves for the humans and are overrun. The thinly veiled message here is that the robots show more humanity than the humans. I always wondered what this storyline was and if the series was available as a pdf somewhere. Does this plot of this one comic ring a bell to anyone? Agrikk fucked around with this message at 07:45 on Mar 10, 2019 |

It's Aliens: Colonial Marines, which is a loving trip of a book just for doing things differently: the whole series is predicated on the notion of this cult of transhumanists who worship the xenomorph as such a perfect organism that they are in the midst of transforming themselves into xenos by constant exposure to the Royal Jelly drug (the Carmex gel you mentioned). There's also a stay on a waterworld with fish-Xenomorphs, the introduction of mercenary "alien hunter" and total '90s generic comic badass Herk Mondo, Vasquez's hermanita who has developed a xenomorph-phobia, and a synthetic who has been built to fight xenomorphs head-on (with acid-proof skin and super strength).

The newer books had a planet with both Red and Black xenos that we're killing each other endlessly like territorial ants and some Marines landed in the middle of it and one dude was playing the sax to the Carnage until their shield generator got overwhelmed and they all got slaughtered. Another one had a scene where some corporate Weyland Yutani gently caress somehow swapped a squad of Marines ammo mags with blanks and they hot dropped into an infested spaceship with blank rounds and you can guess how it went E the saxophone survived though

Julius CSAR posted:One of favorite things about Alien, even from when I was a little kid that didn't know much about the world, was that the crew on the ship were just average schlubbs. Basically truckers in outer space, and I could never shake the feeling of how loving screwed over by their company these dudes on the lowest rung of the totem pole get. Like, they don't know what's on the planet, they don't know that the ship's computer has been programmed to not give a poo poo about them. They don't know that their on board physician, the man they rely on for their very health and well being, is also a computer that does not give a gently caress about them, and actually quite the opposite really. As crazy as the chestburster scene is, Yaphet Kotto yelling "ASH IS A GODDAMNED ROBOT!" is almost more unnerving, espc considering it follows hotly on the footsteps of Ash shoving that magazine down Ripley's throat, which stuck with me for a very long time. like, I gotta go back to my point, it's not even a space truck, it's a space tractor they are towing a giant refinery, not cargo, and calling it a truck gives a certain feeling of the open road and with it a sense of freedom these people are all heavy equipment operators at an industrial site that just happens to move on its own, and it conveys a very different feeling to them. they don't just travel from point a to point b, which is why the detour is so meaningful e- like, a truck has a cargo, and the driver of the truck may, over a lifetime, be worth more than the cargo, so they are worth saving..... that refinery is worth more than the crew on just that one trip, which sets up the fact that the thing most important to the story is what's on the ship and also why the crew is expendable VikingSkull fucked around with this message at 13:36 on Mar 10, 2019 |

He said "Great".

Elderbean posted:I loving love the chunky computers that make computer noises. Those are sounds of old large relays. When I was in the navy, the ship I was on had an older torpedo setting panel that sent parameters to the torpedo in the tube. When you sent settings in the TSP would start clicking and clacking really loud like you hear in the movie. Its pretty awesome.

I saw Prometheus without watching the trailer and thought it was ok. Covenant was utter garbage. Agreed it is cool when Blade Runner and Isolation take the effort to replicate tech and the timeline. That bugs me about Star Trek Discovery, their monitors and equipment is better than on DS9. The podcast I Was There Too has a fantastic two part interview with Jenette Goldstein. I think one part is available for free and the second is behind an Earwolf paywall, but worth it. So much Aliens info!

the magazine-in-throat is ash's way of mimicing the action of the facehugger's throat pipe. This is an expression of the theme that rapemurder is the ultimate form of domination. Ash represents the terrifying idea of a robotic psychopath with a superiority complex being made a slave, given a bit of power, and let loose in a work environment. Ash's contempt for all humans, and his co-workers in particular is palpable. In the alien Ash sees a truly superior species for the first time, and it scrambles his goon brain. It inspires his 'can't beat em join em' rebellion and in that murderous final act he mirrors the bio mechanics of the species he admires so much.

also the magazine is probably made by WY and filled with adverts for more of their products and having it jammed in your mouth by their robot is just another corporate cock you have to swallow during the working day

How can you say Covenant was garbage that movie had floating severed heads, erotic recorder scenes, synthetics doing other creepy poo poo, albino xenomorphs, taming said albino xenomorphs, shower murders and Danny McBride literally what the hell is there not to like It had huge alien genocide and taxidermy and jaws getting loving snapped off of gay guys and xenos in the tall grass like roided out velociraptors seriously that movie was great

also I like how in prometheus the idea of sending a ship to another star system was so daunting that it took the resources of literally the richest person who has ever lived (trillions and trillions of dollars) and only 10 years later in covenant sending a colony transport with thousands of people on it is NBD
