Best pic of an Alien

[SizzyBubbles]

Since when was the alien from Alien: Isolation named 'Stompy'? I get it, but when did that happen?

I believe AVPG member SizzyBubbles was the lady responsible for emasculating the Alien Isolation alien.

It was indeed, Sizzy.

INDEED T'WAS I.

Haha... That's very nice.  Mind you, the name 'Stompy' seems to have appeared in many places simultaneously.  It may have multiple origins.  I don't think we'll ever really know where the name first originated.

Which reminds me... does any one know where the word 'Yautja' comes from?  Does it come from comics or is it a fan generated name or does it have some other source?

Hey Windebieste.  (Looking forward to some new cards!  Those are awesome...)

Apparently Yautja, which was supposedly supposed to be pronounced ee-what-jah came from the novel adaptation of the first Aliens vs. Predator comic series.  It wasn't in the comics but one of the Perrys did a novelization and that's where the name appeared.  Not everyone is a fan of the term.  I'm pretty meh about it.

So it has an EU origin.  I'm fine with that. 

As for the cards you refer to, I'm glad you like 'em; but here's a hint.  I'm not driving the posting on that experimental Project forward.

You are.

That's a pretty cool take on it. Looks quite Prometheus-esque in the design.

Hell yea! That's what I used to see on the side of the Arcade cabinet back in the day when I played Aliens in the arcade shop!

Nothing makes an FX entity more believable than a physical prop in-frame with an actor. Amazing shot.
