Fireteam is still hitting the spot for me. After maxing out Demo and it feels like Lancer is the better smartgun class for the way I want to play. Finally got the deep railed armature to drop. Good news is it seems like I can equip both the demo and lancer heavy weapon improvement perks I unlocked and just be a monster with it, so geting Demo to VIII was hardly a waste. My pals remain a restriction on my campaign progress, as I agreed to not outpace them. I can probably do the first mission blindfolded now lol.

Is there some EU novella about the Nostromo science officer that got replaced by Ash at the last second?

Nope, but I’ve been tempted to slap together some sort of darkly humorous fan fiction about him, how he’s on Thedus Station (the Nostromo’s departure point) and he’s having just the shittiest week ever, his girlfriend dumps him over video-phone, his boss chews him out, he wakes up sick with space-flu, he gets word that his cat passed away back on Earth, and to top it all off, he gets bumped off his ticket back home to Earth (the Nostromo) at the last minute and the next ship heading to earth with a vacant science officer spot isn’t leaving Thedus for 4 months. What a lovely week!

I'm watching Alien right now with my oldest (18) son. He knows Ripley makes it and that's it. He is enthralled, enough that he isnt playing on his phone at all. We're watching Aliens next!

Good parent right here E Sorry if this was already posted https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-new-alien-movie-has-officially-wrapped-production/ The new 'Alien' movie has officially wrapped production Production has officially concluded on the latest movie in the renowned Alien series, marking a return of the infamous xenomorphs to the silver screen after over half a decade. This development has sparked a surge of anticipation among fans who are eagerly awaiting another chilling tale in the iconic sci-fi horror franchise. At the helm of this latest instalment is acclaimed director Fede Álvarez, recognised for his chilling contributions to the horror genre with standout hits such as Don’t Breathe and 2013’s well-received Evil Dead remake. While details about the plot remain shrouded in secrecy, we do know that the ensemble cast includes Cailee Spaeny, Isabela Merced, and David Jonsson. The forthcoming movie is poised to stand independently from the franchise’s prequel narrative that Ridley Scott established over the past decade. This tactical approach may pave the way for new audiences to become captivated by a franchise that has held its ground for more than four decades.

I was watching Aliens the other night, and I got to wondering about Ferro's death scene. I'd always noticed this odd bit of imagery on the closeup of the alien as it readies for the kill. I'd had assumed that the effect of it's drool got a bit out of hand, and a jet of it sprayed out because maybe the effects guys pressed a little too hard on the mechanism that forced it out. Upon repeated scrubbing through the scene though, it appears that one of the tubes on the side of the warrior aliens head that runs into the scalloped cutout on the side, seen below, seems to rise back up out of this depression for some reason. Maybe the tube, apart from being detail on the aliens head, was a practical part of it and contained a cable for opening the mouth, or working the drool mechanism. Actuating it maybe caused it to flex up, like a brake cable on a bike can flex when the brakes are applied. Or maybe it was an actual effect integrated into the new warrior alien, that when it attacks the tubes shoot out of the holes in head, and we just never see it clearly elsewhere in the film. Anyone with any detailed knowledge of the effects know anything about this?  https://i.imgur.com/Ilw3Yo1.mp4

Just gave Dark Descent a play, and the way they mispronounce Otago really annoys me. It's the anglicised version of the Ngai Tahu word Otakou, and is most commonly translated to "where the red earth abounds," although there have been some arguments that it means "isolated village." It's pronounced "Otah-go", not "Otay-go." loving get it right, jesus christ. It's also bloody lovely, and its primary city, Dunedin, is exceedingly Scottish.

My friend posited the following contrafactual: Ripley sticks to her guns and doesn't go to Archeron with Burke and the Marines. Biggest hinge point I think is the initial personal data trasmitter signal hive recon. Ripley is the one who warns about AP weapons in the atmosphere processor. Ripley is the one who saves them from Gorman's indecision. Likely outcome is they make the processor go critical even faster firing with even less discretion. No survivors of the initial assault or of the landing party. Another outcome is everyone in the squad dies, leaving Gorman, Bishop and Burke but the processor is still a slow boil. Say for maximum mayhem Ferro and Spunkmeyer don't crash. Gorman is a yes-man and Bishop was fine preserving specimens including one viable face hugger. Outcome Earth-hive.

redshirt posted:How did that Alien find the drop ship? So according to the official maps, it would be a massive hike for an alien to reach where the dropship was landed from the atmospheric processor, which means it probably wasn't one that was woken up by the marines when they poked around the hive. But Newt said that the aliens "mostly come out at night" which means that there were still a few active aliens poking around even after the hive went into hibernation. So the dropship crew was probably attacked by one of the aliens that was still out and about. Maybe they were being watched from the moment they arrived, with the aliens waiting for them to split up so they could attack them alone.
