Also, poor hat guy. Guess that's what you get for tricking your way out of eating marmite covered branches with vinegar
There is a sequel episode to that one in which one of Mr. Bean's guests returns for his hat.
I mean, is there a better thing to do in your leisure time ?
I watched this one so many times and it took me till now to notice a visual gag of there being a window in Mr. Bean's kitchen meaning his guests saw everything he was "cooking" there
I'm kinda surprised at that. Seemed like such a sure thing. I'm disappointed we didn't get the Audible though.
I had a blast! Was great going to see Alien and Aliens again. Was another showing of the 4K Alien, and I've only seen that the once. I'm a peasant, I don't have a 4K TV. I'd gone with Shevvie, and it was his first time seeing Aliens on the big screen so that was great.
I'm glad to see we got a little tease from Romulus, and the new pre-order trailer for Dark Descent. The Limited Run announcement was a huge surprise too.

Happy Alien Day everyone!
I think this is my first Alien Day as a non-lurking member of the site actually!
Always look forward to this day that celebrates my all time favorite film series, especially among fellow fans.
Hoping to see some cool announcements today!
Sooooo is there still a plan for something to come of this?
I passed on Fireteam Elite, but I think I'll be gabbing this one. Liking what I'm seeing here.
Community made content keeps gsmes alive. I cant wait to try this out.
I really hope dark descent has community campaign/map tools.
Fireteam elite could have been so much better if we were allowed to make our own content
Doubt we will get any big announcments but its our day at least.
Happy Alien Day everyone!!! If this means people will be able to create their own survivor maps for example, this will be a wild contribution to the game's longevity!
Looking forward to the double bill later today. Hope you all do something neat and take a break just for yourselves today.
