I wish you could put decals on your armor, it seems like an obvious feature but you can’t do it.

Good lord the thread in CineD is hilariously insufferable. The insane leaps of logic you have to make the moment you consider the prequels to be canon.

The prequels would have been better off divorced from the Alien franchise entirely, linking them doesn’t do either side any favors.

Reservoir Dogs but there is a predator (in town with a few days to kill) in the safehouse In addition, Tim Roth’s Mr. Orange being gutshot is problematic, but even worse is that the tissue damage and internal bleeding is only going to hasten the birth of his chestburster MrMojok fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Sep 8, 2021 |

I just love getting doused in napalm when I'm trying to shoot at things. I will say that the flame turret is very useful for the Technician class when you have some big guys to fight and it's busy taking care of all the runners and poo poo.

Xenomrph posted:poo poo, I’d be okay with it. I like Titanic quite a bit. There's even a subtle reference in how the shuttle isn't big enough to accommodate the whole crew abandoning ship! Parkingtigers posted:You absolutely need to go back and rewatch it as an adult. It's a truly great film, with possibly the bravest and most unconventional ending of any genre romance movie. Titanic is a (great!) big-rear end four-quadrant blockbuster genre flick where women are more the primary audience and men secondary (as opposed to most romantic films where the target audience is almost exclusively women). I'm not too keen on romance so I don't know if I can ever truly love Titanic but I remember being pleasantly surprised by some of the action-ish and suspense moments*, which I imagine is how a lot of women feel watching The Terminator and thinking, "well, at least the romance is nice." *There's a sequence where Winslet is searching for DiCaprio in the bowels of the ship and she's holding an axe in waist-deep water, the ship loudly creaking, and the lights flickering on-and-off that reminded me very much of Ripley searching for Newt in Aliens. I very much appreciated it.

Mutant Headcrab posted:Props don't need plot development From pages back, but how was this not an instant permaban? Wow. Question: do we know what the time frame is, between "Burke tells colonists to investigate Derelict", and "Marines get boots on the ground"? The gerbils that the Marines find in the office look pretty healthy, so they must not have been abandoned for more than a few days, right? You'd think that if the colonists were busy fighting against the xenos, they wouldn't be worrying too much about keeping their little critters fed and watered. So it might give an idea of how long the colony managed to hold out after the first xeno is born. Or maybe this has all been thoroughly covered in a book or comic that I've never seen.

Here’s the most in-depth Alien franchise timeline on the planet: https://alientimeline.wordpress.com It’s fan written, but it’s incredibly thoroughly researched by a superfan who knows his poo poo, and it’s been treated as authoritative by Fox and they regularly tell authors to abide by it. I usually don’t like to link it because the author is a bit of a douche but it IS really detailed and a pretty neat read.

 We all know the correct Titanic crossover. (It was originally a cover to G Fan magazine in the 90s.) No I don't want to think about a Xenozilla. Especially not with Shin Godzilla. Or Hedorah. They mostly come out in Tokyo Bay.. mostly.
