hmm, ok I don't know why audible has them displayed together.

They're extremely loosely connected. It's the location I think. They're pretty good, so go for it.

I think Out of the Shadows and Sea of Sorrow take place in the same location, but many years apart.

River of Pain is a kind of retconning of the last days of the colony on LV-426.

Now I want a Metroid / Alien crossover, with Samus and Ripley tearing poo poo up.

Especially since Metroid has a lot of influences from the Alien series.

I've read Out of the Shadows and Sea of Sorrow. They weren't connected, in fact they're set several centuries apart.

They’re connected in the sense that one of the characters in Sea of Sorrow is a descendant of one of the characters from Out of the Shadows and it takes place on the same planet, if I remember right.

I listened to Out of the Shadows at work last night, it's a hell of a lot of fun.

The voice acting is some of the best I've ever heard in an audiobook (they got Rutger motherfuckin Hauer to play a great part) and the production design is quite good too. The script and story are solid, all in all enjoyable and worth a listen.

The trilogy is on audiobookbay if anyone wants to give it a whirl and doesn't have the cash or credits to drop on it.

Well I have 9 credits left but I just found out that Chuck Tingle is on Audible.

:thunk:

Ok so what Aliens books or a decent trilogy or something would you guys recommend? I still have 2 weeks to get rid of these credits.

I think it was xenomrph that sent me the Labyrinth comic and that was nice.

I am not aware of an audiobook version, but the original trilogy of Alien novels by Steve Perry and his daughter are cool, Earth Hive, Nightmare Asylum, and The Female War.

In terms of audiobooks, the audio drama trilogy you already found, the William Gibson Alien3 audio drama by the same creative team, and the Aliens novelization (which is narrated by William Hope, who played Gorman in ‘Aliens’).

I had a dream last night that someone had a baby xenomorph and I had to watch it. It looked like a full sized xeno but small pet sized. I was horrified and it kept trying to crawl on me and move through my blankets on my bed.

When I woke up, my cat in was on my bed! :ghost:

When I went to get my fella from the shelter I wanted a young orange cat that I could name Jonesy. But then they were like, "well we could show you Pennywise" and you imagine I had to see him. That's how that ended up.

Besides the claustrophobic setting the way everyone is very in each other's space verbally as well and talking over each other a lot it is so loving good.

As an exercise for a class of 17~18 year old Catholic school girls, I've had them shoot a scene that can be recreated by 3 people (1 to shoot, 2 to act). One of the choices was the scene in Terminator where Kyle Reese explains what a Terminator is to Sarah Connor.

It's actually perfect for seeing who can take an inherently goofy idea and actually sell its seriousness.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
