Corporal HicksApr 13, 2018, 07:32:57 AM Topic on: Apr 13, 2018, 07:32:57 AM Q Quote I realize we're very late to the game with Mr_H, Hybrid Network and Alien_Theory doing plenty of these but after resisting having to learn a new skill for so long I finally gave it a go and put together my first Alien lore video!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbYnpte39oEHopefully you guys and girls will enjoy. Feedback is appreciated. Hopefully we'll continue to put these out somewhat regularly and we'll be doing Predator focused things under a separate series and RidgeTop will be starting work on the first episode soon.

Will watch more.I find the writing in Rogue really lacking - both in terms of how the Rogue was created and some clunky and pretentious dialogue. Purge was much better, as were AvP: Eternal, Pursuit and The Web.

Oooops. QuoteDecent start. Will watch more.Thanks. QuoteI find the writing in Rogue really lacking - both in terms of how the Rogue was created and some clunky and pretentious dialogue. Purge was much better, as were AvP: Eternal, Pursuit and The Web.Yeah, it's not my favourite either. I wish they'd have gone into what they actually wanted docile Aliens for. Resurrection has suggestions outside of foot soldiers but neither the comic or novel even ventured towards any explanation. I much prefer Labyrinth myself.

Corporal HicksApr 13, 2018, 07:57:52 AM Reply #4 on: Apr 13, 2018, 07:57:52 AM Q Quote They specifically talk about being docile, though. Kleist is excited when the King doesn't attack. I don't know - I just don't feel that aspect was really well thought out. It was just a rush to get to the King vs. Queen battle.
SMApr 13, 2018, 08:14:35 AM Reply #5 on: Apr 13, 2018, 08:14:35 AM Q Quote I got the impression that Kleist wanted them docile in terms of them not being always hostile dialled up to 11. They would still be deadly - but only when they were ordered.My main issue was that Edgington didn't seem to have the strongest grasp on the material. The whole creation of the King is very confused.

QuoteMy main issue was that Edgington didn't seem to have the strongest grasp on the material. The whole creation of the King is very confused.No arguments from me there. It all seemed like a bit of a mess when it came to the difficulties around the King/docile Queens. That said, we did get that cool spread with the failed Queens which was nice.

SMApr 13, 2018, 09:38:20 AM Reply #11 on: Apr 13, 2018, 09:38:20 AM Q Quote Ah, yes. Side projects. I know them well by their level of not-finishedness.
