You know how clones in the Star Wars EU novels had a double vowel sound in their name to differentiate them? On SA, we just put a "b" on the end.

We already have enough for a game. We just need someone to take charge. I'm a broken human being so it's unlikely it'll happen through me. We'll have to see what happens though.

I can be drunk then.

Which game are we actually using ? I want to get some practice in with the controls... if I die stupid I want it to be on me, not frantically pressing the wrong buttons.

AvP 2010. From the videos I've seen it looks hilarious. This is my favorite.

We did some testing and got everything working. You have to go through steam in order to get it to work. The DLC is really nice for the extra maps. If the person with the DLC creates the game then it'll work for everyone.

I thought it was fun. HiroProtagonist, Splicer, and I played for a little while. We did some survivor rounds which was fun and scary and then a species deathmatch. Everyone did well. Splicer was a Marine, HiroProtagonist was the predator, and I was the alien. It was surprisingly balanced.

I want to do it again. :getin:

Someone may have posted this before but I didn't watch it. It's about the Aliens toys. I'm watching it right now.

edit: the guy is kinda annoying but he shows all of the toys. I didn't realize how many of these I had. Brings back memories.

Today I thought about watching the Allen movies trilogy but then I realized what a stupid idea THAT was. So Ridley gets beamed up on the spaceship and probed by the allens? And then a chest hugger comes out of a cat or something? Like who even cares?

Personal favourite moments:
Pennywise's response to me finding a flamethrower.
Being attacked by Pennywise and the two of us being slaughtered by a plasma blast.
Being melee'd by Hiro who was then jumped by Pennywise giving me the opportunity to bullet hell both of them.

Personal least favourite moment:
Actually attempting to use the flamethrower.

Lol they never used those weapons on the alien. I still fantasize about beating one with a steel pipe as it’s wriggling around under a tarp.

That's what I wanted originally but it actually was a copy of a thread called "Thinking about aliens" which was about actual aliens. This thread is way better.

First session went pretty good. A lot of figuring out the system and stuff but basically I think they were pretty invested and even though they didn't quite follow the bread crumbs the way I expected I was able to adjust on the fly.

If you want to listen to 2.5 hours of dorks pretending to be space truckers and a bigger dork trying to build the atmosphere of a dangerous alien world and failing, this is for you:

Speaking of games, has anyone posted this yet? It's a flash version of the Aliens Board Game

https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/408816

It's a fun little diversion and pretty tough too. If you play through from the beginning you can end up with some fun alternate timeline stuff, like Apone being at the battle at Operations :black101:
