The second short was actually pretty good. Exactly what a fan-film should be, IMO. Brief, respectful of the canon, small in scope, and with a cool little wrinkle that surprises but fits the universe. Very well shot too.

Prometheus and Covenant were redundant films because Samurai Shodown 2 is already a prequel to the Alien series.

If you have a long car trip ahead of you, or maybe you’re just commuting to work, give this a listen. It’s the audiobook of River of Pain, and the voice acting is surprisingly great: https://youtu.be/rk0ZsoRpTCQ

I’ve since listened more and here is where it gets kinda bad. They talk to each other while fighting aliens, they couldn’t use the original pulse rifle sound, plus this is River of Pain which just has a whole lot of narrative issues. But seriously, it is still worth a listen. Especially the first three hours.

 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

Thanks to those who tossed extra money Xeno's way. I was going to, but the radiator in my wife's car just took a poo poo, and we don't currently know if we have to buy a new car or if they'll be able to fix it.

No. Any fan community is usually pretty rough. This is probably the best you’ll get honestly. Someone could start a discord server somewhere. I’d love to jump in.

Oh, yeah, I tend to intentionally steer clear of those threads. Like, it’s a niche forum - I’m there to talk about that niche and maybe other harmless pop-culture poo poo, if I’m feeling adventurous.

Just a Labyrinth update, I’ve gotten emails with addresses from everyone but two people (I’ll check when I get home and figure out which two and post here as a reminder). Here’s the game plan: Tonight I’m going to package everything up and type up the addresses. Tomorrow I’m going to print the addresses at work and tape them to the packages. Saturday morning I’m going to take everything to the post office and

I spend most of my time in the merchandise sub forums and occasionally look at a couple movie threads once in a while. Where are the lovely threads? I never saw anything of this either, but then again I don't have an account there, which you apparently need to see the political/off-topic subforums. I've seen plenty of people get banned years ago there by the guy who runs it for posting questionable poo poo. Maybe CelticPredator is just being CelticPredator?

I’m not gonna lie, seeing people be sexist on an Alien forum (based around a movie series that centers around a female protagonist) seems like it would be not just garden variety offensive, but also profoundly tone-deaf. But this is the Internet we’re talking about so I guess it wouldn’t surprise me.
