That's got to count for something.
Quote from: Isolatedmorph on Today at 10:39:31 AMHi all, I'm Lozza and I'm 26. This is a long one but want to share my experience with like minded fans and the journey I had to becoming one.
I was exposed to the universes of Alien and Predator at a young age through the PC games AVP and AVP2, I use to watch my bothers and dad play from behind their chair and when I was a little older I braved the Predator campaigns but still crapped myself but was able to complete them. I could barley touch the marine campaign on AVP2 I was too afraid.
When the Quadrilogy came out I remember my mum picking it up when at a Tesco, the box freaked me the F out and I remember mum and dad inviting my sister and husband round and they all sat down with my older brothers too and watched Aliens. They said I could watch it too, the menu freaked me out so I went to bed being able to hear the movie and it scared me half to death.
Some time later, mum got AVP on DVD and when I had the courage to ask her "Can I watch it?" And she said yes I thought "This is it, brave it. You like the cool predators from the games." I open the case and it's a face hugger disc, it scared me to death because it was horrific and looked like a spider. So I didn't watch it then.
I eventually watched both the AVP films, and really enjoyed them because I was watching these two horror icons that scared me to death but grew the courage to watch them and I was a kid or was watching something I wasn't supposed but was allowed by my parents. When AVPR came out my dad brought the 2disc SE and I watch the bonus features because I liked to do that with the Star Wars prequels, but these had snippets of the alien and predator movies and I was watching this stuff I thinking this seems so cool and convincing myself that if I can watch these snippets I can watch the real deal. I couldn't.
Some more time, I get AVP 2010. Love it. I'm in my xbox gaming prime in middle school and feeling like the cool kid playing this game my friends wouldn't. I grew up in a house where my family all knew Alien and Predator but no one else I ever talked to did and for years it felt like I knew this niche thing and could only talk about it with my one of brothers. He said I could watch them with him because he knew I wanted to. I watched everything starting with predator then the alien films when the blu ray collection came out. I loved it.
I was lucky enough to see both Prometheus and Covenant at the cinema with my dad and really enjoyed them.
Quick fire now so you know where I stand but this is all my opinion:
Alien 3 is a misunderstood masterpiece and is not only a great film but when viewed as a trilogy the best of the original three as a final act.
Alien Isolation is the best representation of the xeno across the movies and the games I've played. With the new movie coming I think it could also be made into a film but most definitely needs a sequel.
The AVP pc games need to come to console with multiplayer.
Covenant was a truly bone chilling experience and the ending with David is one of the most horrifying ends in film. I also think whilst I would love a sequel to this film, the fact that we don't have one really hammers home the unsettling ending.
There needs to be AVP revival in both game and movies, it could easily be an alternate Universe situation.
To end because this has gone on long enough, I'm incredibly excited for the new Alien movie and think it could be the scariest alien film we've ever got.
I would love to talk more, if anyone wants to pick my brain please do as I'll talk for hours, message me if you like for more direct conversation. Never be apart of a form but been using the website since in middle school.
You made it this far, thank you for your time!

But there was a time, long before the adventures of Elizabeth and friends, that when talking about the alien ship in Alien, it was just called The Derelict.
No one seems to call it that anymore.
Simpler times.
I'm with Ridley Scott on this one and still call it the croissant. 🥐
Quote from: BlueMarsalis79 on Today at 12:22:01 PMAfter ten years on 16EG14 nothing remains outside of the original virus according to David and what we obviously see with the Neomorph stuff.Aliens would also eradicate all the native wildlife and leave themselves dormant and waiting, like the spores.
QuoteUnlike what we see in the film after Oram dies, the other Facehuggers in the vicinity actively seek out hosts,Only one does, in response to someone else entering the room. Facehuggers generally wait for things to come to them -- just like the spores.
Quotethe longer incubation time means the Alien escapes the planet.Eh, you're overselling this. The Covenant was en route, there's not long between him being infected and them taking off.
