That last shot in the trailer reminded me of the XCOM reboot, and reading the tweet just solidifies it for me. I'll take Alien flavoured XCOM, yes please. Btw, Happy Pride, from all your fav corporate friends!

I wonder how "slow" the slow down button goes. Are there any current games that use that mechanic? Not sure why you wouldn't just make it pause? Might end up being kinda mean if it leads to permanent death.

Xenocom sounds like a pretty cool idea but I'm not playing poo poo on my loving phone if that's what it is. My eyesight it prety poo poo and I've never found playing any games on that tiny little screen enjoyable. Most of the time I find myself wanting to throw that loving thing into the ocean because it never shuts the gently caress up.

It's for PC and console. In this trailer they just released (which is not actual gameplay, more like cutscene stuff) they're not using the iconic sound of the pulse rifles and smartguns. Odd choice.

Ok, so I'd say increase police funding if we had a bunch of gay ED-209s walking around.

When I saw it (back when the game came out) I immediately thought of Aliens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqqEh-rWy_s Cold fusion!

Posting this tweet only because of the poster on the left, which I have never seen before. It’s pretty cool. https://twitter.com/acroce66/status/1535680230790152192?s=21&t=r4tFuUxCCQr7e4Z4oGDnWQ

Has anyone ever seen the Alien poster before? I’d like to know where I can get it.

The Shining movie was ok but a bit boring for me, even though I really like slow burns. The book was one of the best books I've ever read though.

Mumpy Puffinz posted:yes. parody is protected by law https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/parody#:~:text=Parody%20often%20serves%20as%20a,as%20a%20form%20of%20expression. quote:A parody takes a piece of creative work–such as art, literature, or film–and imitates it in an exaggerated, comedic fashion. Parody often serves as a criticism or commentary on the original work, the artist who created it, or something otherwise connected to the work. In the United States, parody is protected by the First Amendment as a form of expression. However, since parodies rely heavily on the original work, parodists rely on the fair use exception to combat claims of copyright infringement. The fair use exception is governed by the factors enumerated in section 107 of the Copyright Act: (1) the purpose and character of the use; (2) the nature of the original work; (3) the amount and substantiality of the original work used; and (4) the effect on the market value of the original work. Generally, courts are more likely to find that a parody qualifies as fair use if its purpose is to serve as a social commentary and not for purely commercial gain. How do you think Weird Al got away with a few things that people didn't like? edit: actually I don't know how he did that but people like coolio were very unhappy

Weird Al asks for permission as a courtesy because he's a nice guy, but as stated, he doesn't have to. I think, aside from the Coolio thing, the only person to said no was Prince.

At this point I'm assuming that Weird Al also has a music vault, full of unreleased music, the way that Prince did.
