I'm pretty much down whenever depending on my mood. It's pretty fun although everyone knows that I get a little tense and freaked out during survivor mode. I wish I had xanax.

I was thinking about getting some Xanax for my girl. What's it like and what are your biggest gripes with it?

I wasn't on xanax but was on klonopin for a year or two. I really liked it. It got me out of my house and I didn't have any problems being around others and running chores and stuff. Maybe I was a bit more vocal about stuff since I didn't care as much but my meds now seem to be doing that too. I run my mouth when I probably shouldn't. Or at least I do in my head.

Xanax, as far as I know, is just more hardcore klonopin but shorter acting. Also don't get addicted to it and suddenly quit. Benzos and alcohol are the only thing that will kill you with withdrawals. People think heroin and painkillers do but that's not true.

I just remembered how in fifth grade my friend Cody brought in the trade paperback edition of the Aliens vs. Predator comic to school with him. Most of the boys in that class ended up reading it over the next month or so whenever we could get our hands on it.

I should have more time for games since I got laid off on Wednesday.

If nothing else it’ll give me more free time to think about Aliens.

I'm Burke. Carter Burke. I work for the company. But don't let that fool you, I'm really an okay guy. I'm glad to see you're feeling a little better. They, uh, they tell me that all the weakness and disorientation should pass soon. It's just natural side effects of such an unusually long quarantine, or something like that.

What do you mean? How long was I in quarantine?

Has no one discussed this with you yet?

No. But, I mean, I don't... recognize this place.

No, I know. Uh, okay, it's just that, uh, this might be a shock to you. It's long...

*How* long? Please.

Fifty-seven years.

What?

That's the thing. You were in quarantine for fifty-seven years. What happened was, you had drifted right through the core systems, and it's really just blind luck that a deep salvage team found you when they did. It's one in a thousand, really. I think you're drat lucky to be alive, kiddo. You could have been socially distanced forever.

IIRC, Cameron noticed that most blanks have varied pressure so as to produce very animated muzzle flashes, but produce an weird audio effect as the pitch up and down. What he did was just record that audio instead of hiding it in post.

The crew of the Independent cargo freighter USCSS Germaine Krull made it away from a game preserve planet of stalking alien trophy hunters without losing any of its crew. They didn't save anyone imperiled there ,aside from one junior Weyland Yutani executive, or score any salvage or treasure, but sometimes coming out with your skin intact is a win.

CoC is about the only system where if the GM wants to drop in Xenomorphs, the players can't say poo poo because there's worse on the menu.

You wanted to run Alien, you run Alien. Tommy guns and bundles of dynamite are a perfectly reasonable response to a Xeno infestation.

This is Rumor Control, here are the facts. I always treated the Acheron Virus very seriously, and have done a very good job from the beginning, including my very early decision to close the ‘borders’ from Acheron - against the wishes of almost all. I’d love to have the colony opened up and just raring to go by Easter.
