Terrible snipe crosspost from the DeviantArt thread incoming


If a facehugger hugged your butt where would the poo-covered chestburster come out? The small of your back? Would it be able to survive in an intestine like a tapeworm or could you poop yourself to safety?

I'll never stop singing the praises of Alien: Isolation, because it's a loving masterpiece and absolutely the best Alien game for every god drat reason.

Alien Isolation is amazing and also terrible I loved every second of it and was so happy when it was over goddamn.

The point I'm trying to make is that the only way to come out on top is to kick the Air Force in the nuts, beart it savagely with a weight and take a dump on it's face.

It is seldom that I have complained that a game is "too long" but giving the level of tension it could have been like 70% as long.

If a facehugger couldn't get to the mouth it probably would go for the next best hole and that would likely be the rear end.

If it had no alternative.

Which raises a question, say if a facehugger encountered an animal that didn't have the usual biology for it to insert it's appendage would it actually create a hole into the creature, similar to how it melted peoples helmets.

Ha ha do you think it would be interested in a urethra. Like lets say a person spent their 20s and 30s expanding their urethra through the use of various devices, and as a result had a very pliable and stretchy urethra, do you think the alien would be interested in that sort of thing. LOL

just curious

Unironically the most I've loved a Star War since RotJ, and possibly the latest episode was the best so far.

Also Baby Yoda briefly gets facehugged this season, tying it back to on-topic.

Mandolorian is seriously some good sci-fi. It's what you want Star Wars to be. Only took drat near 40 years for someone to figure it out.

I couldn't stand everyone talking up the isolation game so I just got it on steam. Its gonna be weird cause I haven't played a game on my PC in ages. That thing became my wife's work computer cause of covid.

I get stressed out by games sometimes so I doubt I'm gonna be able to play it for more than a little bit at a time.

General advice - don’t crouch walk everywhere, just walk normally until the xeno or any other enemies are close. It sounds counterintuitive but honestly confidently strolling around is the best way to get through the game.

If you find such games stressful play on easy or normal. The game recommends you play on hard, but as someone who’s finished it on nightmare normal is the fairest way to go.

Be sure to update the thread when you reach the second half of mission 14, you’ll know it when you see it.

Yeah, normal walking is faster than crouching and either just as quiet or nearly as quiet - I've seen some disagreement on this, but in my experience it is as quiet and you should only crouch if you need to hide behind things.

The speed is important because the alien has an easier time finding you if you remain in one place for too long.

Agreed, just walking around like you own the place is the best way to get things done. The moment poo poo hits the fan (or falls out of a vent), that's when you'll want to start creeping around.

And whatever you do, don't run unless it is absolutely necessary!

I tried to look at it on the Wish website and it won't let me look until I log in. That seems like a good way to push potential customers away by, you know, not letting them see your products.

Those look cool though.

If it’s coming from Wish, and at that price, there’s a significant chance they’re bootlegs.

I'm re-playing Alien: Isolation since I never got through it my last time (I know it's notoriously long). I'm a good way past the DAMNED MEDICAL SECTION and man oh man I can't stop crowing about the game design. The sound design, the visuals that just absolutely nail the Alien 1 aesthetic - it's SO well done, even if the game play eventually gets a little formulaic.
