Just read that in the original ending of Alien the Xenomorph kills Ripley and makes the final log entry in her voice which is a terrifying way to end things but I'm kinda glad they didn't go with that (not the least of which is because Aliens without Weaver would have been  )

Millions of Crows posted:This is a boring collection of painfully familiar tropes. Now I'm worried all the shorts will be like that, since apparently corporate film makers are incapable of original ideas. I wonder if everyone at 20th century fox is either too prideful or stupid to just adapt one of the better Dark Horse Comics Aliens stories. Like 'Aliens: Labyrinth', perhaps?  Speaking of, here's a head-count of who's claimed a copy of Labyrinth. If you don't see your name here and it should be, please scream at me - in space no one can hear you scream, but I'll hear you just fine in this thread. They're all claimed at this point, but I can do a waiting list if people change their minds! 1. Xenomrph 2. SiL 3. Celtic Predator 4. oldpainless 5. alf_pogs 6. Sentient Data 7. Riatsala 8. MacheteZombie 9. MrMojok 10. WatermelonGun 11. MisterSpeaker 12. Pennywise the Frown 13. Linux Pirate 14. Code Jockey 15. l33tfuzzbox 16. Class Warcraft 17. MonsieurChoc 18. Leavemywife 19. mllaneza 20. Vim Fuego Vincent Van Goatse posted:I don't know whether to applaud or shove your face-first into a xenomorph egg. Vim Fuego posted:What did the alien in alien eat to grow from chestburster size to 9 feet tall? Ultimately most sources don't bother explaining how they grow so big so fast other than "it's an unexplainable space monster", but once in a while a comic or video game will show a chestburster eating stuff.

Xenomrph posted:In the original script, when Ripley, Brett, and Parker go looking for the chestburster, they were going to find that something (reads: the chestburster) had gotten into the Nostromo's food stores and gone to town. This is in the novelisation, as is a scene where they’re just about to blow the alien out of the airlock and Ash sets off an alarm to warn it.

 Yo! Stop your grinnin' and drop your linen, it's Labyrinth time.   Okay here's how this is going to work. If your name is on the list below, email me your address at xenomrph (at) gmail (dot) com, and put your username and "Labyrinth" in the subject line. I'm aiming to ship via Media Mail (except for the lone crazy person in Australia, I'll figure yours out later), which looks like it'll be about $2.75. As for paying for shipping, like, I'm not going to hound every individual person for $2.75, because I think this is a fun project and people being excited to read Labyrinth puts a smile on my face. I've got the bubble mailers ready to go, I'm going to slap labels on them and mail everything out in one big trip to the post office once I've got addresses. The way I see it, people can pay me what they want and it'll all come out in the wash - a couple goons have already tossed some money my way to help balance things out if people can't pay, which is really awesome. My paypal is xenomrph (at) hotmail (dot) com. Also if you've sent me a PM about this at some point, I'm going to send you a PM in a minute just in case you don't regularly look at this thread or something. Xenomrph posted:1. Xenomrph

Out of the 20 people on the list there’s still like 10 that I haven’t heard from yet; I figure I’ll give people a couple weeks, post a couple reminders in the thread, maybe send out PMs to those that have platinum, and then all the unclaimed ones will be fair game.

I've told this Isolation story before on these dead gay forums, but when I first played it on PS4 my 2 year old son had managed to climb out of his bed and into the living room where I wa ssitting with my headset on, in the dark. He's like "DADDYYYY DADDY DADAY DADDY", the microphone on the headset transmits this into the game and the alien rips open the closet I'm hiding in and brutally murders me. 10/10 game.

Forums user Riatsala , you are being publicly shamed for not sending me your address.Or if you did send it, then I'm a dumbass and I accidentally deleted it or something, in which case I am publicly shaming myself. Either way, please send/re-send me your address! Everyone else, I've got your addresses and I'll be printing/packaging everything tomorrow so I can mail it out Saturday morning.

I'm scared to turn on that game, stopped at area 8 or 9. I hid in a locker, didn't move for like 5 min and turned the game off. Haven't touched it since. I like to imagine my character is now dead in the locker because I was too scared to give her commands.

The scariest thing that happened to me in that game was when I came to area with four dudes with guns standing around and chucked a noisemaker into the room while I hid to draw out the xeno to eat these guys and after it went quiet again I heard sobbing from the room and realized the Alien missed a guy and he was just hiding in a corner like me, sobbing to himself “oh god I don’t want to die! I was supposed to leave two weeks ago! All my friends are dead and I’m so tired and scared” and just about the time I was like, poo poo I feel bad for this dude I hear the Alien drop of the ceiling to finish the dude off in a blood curdling scream.

(RIP) I think the ambiguous ending in Isolation is honestly the only thing I didn't really like about the game. OK, now I'm reading on Xenopedia that there's a comic miniseries detailing her being rescued and going out to gently caress with more xenos. I wasn't aware of this.

I was like “this game... just holy loving poo poo” There are a few moments where stuff like this can happen, but I think I know which area you mean. First time playing I didn't even get to throw a Noisemaker, because the bastards saw me first and just opened fire immediately, so I had to scurry off and hide in an air vent. Then the Alien appeared, cleaned up in moments, and I stayed in the vent like a scared little baby while it stomped around jumping in and out of the ducts, until I was sure it wasn't coming back. It came back as I made a run for the elevator. I'm not ashamed to admit I screamed "gently caress!" several times on seeing the Alien start rushing at me as the door took a small eternity closing  Speaking of intense poo poo-your-pants moments, I've had this for years and now seems like the appropriate time to share it: https://i.imgur.com/ckzfBCR.mp4 Looks funny now but I was about to bite my own tongue off at the time.
