I personally am more excited for the inevitable Crowe and Wierzbowski novels

Every time there's a scene without Wierzbowski a character should ask where's Bowski?

I love all the reinforcement on the rig.

It was something that surprised me in the Netflix "The Movies That Made Us" episode where the first time they fired the guns on set, the steadicam harnesses popped off of Goldstein and Rolston, so subsequent shots had them duct-taped to the rigs.

Lambert: You’re aroused by it.
Ash: I’m aroused by its purity. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, embarrassment, or delusions of modesty.

I can't wait to show Alien to the kids one day but as it currently stands my oldest still gets up and runs out of the room screaming whenever a raptor is on screen in OG Jurassic Park.

Are you sure it’s the raptor, and not you being reflected on the screen?

Coming in once again to whine that matchmaking barely ever works in Fireteam Elite for PS4.

I've asked in one of the network threads if there's a chance it's my router, but I think that's in vain. Is nobody playing this game anymore? I never even got to the final campaign mission because the servers seem so barren. :(

I'd assume that no one is currently playing. I popped in about a month ago to see if maybe they added some new missions, then turned it back off

A few people on the Steam discussion board are complaining about lack of players too.

In my opinion the game is way too monotonous. There's barely anything to do once you ran through those handful of levels.

That really is the thing, there just needs to be more to do.

There's the relatively campaign that you can play over and over again. Last time few times I played with randos I got people shooting at me for not hiding out in whatever corner was deemed the best way to survive a wave.

Then there's Horde Mode, which is fine enough, but again needs more levels and variety, maybe even adding synths to the mix?

They added another mode with the last season, (point defense, I think?) and that mode just sucked because things moved too fast, also not enough variety, and only one level.

I really liked this game, but it's just too short, and adding new weapons and classes are just not cutting it, especially since one of the dialogs that open after beating the campaign imply all kids of stuff like mercs and W-Y soldiers. Hell, I'd love to go exploring that research station that's mentioned all over the campaign.

Back to the drawing board for an Aliens game that isn't doomed to die on its arse after a few months, it seems.

I'm thinking about Aliens.



This morning while walking the dog, I heard a woodpecker knocking away on a tree above me, and it sounded suspiciously close to the Predator's chatter.
