I think Alien holds up better, but Aliens is absolutely unfuckwithable. It's one of the very best sci-fi movies of all time, and possibly James Cameron's best (partially because it was written as one massive love letter to the first movie).

That's not a garlic mincer. That's a weed grinder. I'm sorry to tell you this.

Man, when I had mine taken out, the anesthesia they gave me was out of this world. I was answering questions nobody was asking. I woke up feeling like I'd slept for a week. It was immaculate.

This gorgeous 35th Anniversary Limited Edition of the original Alien is the kind of packaging that one of the greatest films of all time deserves. We just ran a deal on the Alien Anthology set the other day, and when asked by a commenter if they should watch all four films or just the first two, I said "just the first…

I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't "it", and what's "it" seems weird and scary to me!

Oh right, I totally forgot I read about this guy awhile back:

Do you really want a whole movie of just Noomi Rapace hanging out with Michael Fassbender's head, too? Because I totally want that movie. I almost don't care how they do it. They can even make it all Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead with shittons of talking and no real action at all, if they want.

For real. Prometheus was a failure as a prequel to Alien, but man, it was a pretty good movie on its own. The fact that it was supposed to be in the Alien universe is the only reason anybody gave it so much shit. If it were the start of a new franchise, people would have crapped their pants over it.

Jesus, good work!

I came here to say just this. He's aware that Ridley Scott made fucking Robin Hood, right? Prometheus may not be as fucking awesome as it should have been, but it was still a serviceable film. Robin Hood is goddamn unforgivable.

I have. It's still incredible. Those are two separate works, you know.

*could have

It's actually probably factual. If they're aiming to make a 16-bit video game, chances are, they're also aiming for music to match. "Downgraded" doesn't necessarily refer to the quality of the work, and likely refers to the quality of the sound.

For what it's worth, ALBW is the only 3DS game I've played that totally justifies the use of 3D. It's stunning in 3D.

Yeah, it was an actuaLOL. It wasn't me saying I lol'd but didn't actually laugh at all. I actually laughed out loud.

I lol'd out loud at that. Those patch notes are pretty fun.

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM BAXTERRRRRR!

This is a super painful reminder that, instead of being at Rose City, I was stuck at work. Son of a bitch.

For serious. I have a single friend who plays, and she plays during the day, when I'm at work/with my family.

A lot of people are saying that this describes "every raid ever", but in reality it just describes every game ever. The first players will always be forced to slog and scrape through, but once word gets out on how to do things, everything speeds up. It's not a bad thing, it's just how games work, really.
