This Alien 3 Assembly Cut isn't bad.

From what I remember the events of the film take place over 1-2 days max. and I guess queens take longer to gestate. Of course, the gestation period is all over the fucking shop just recently, though.

The extra CGI was unfinished which is why it's not as good, the scenes were cut before they were completed so they've just been slotted back in.

I never really understood why people didn't like the start - I thought it was a really ballsy move, and sort of sent chills down my spine - which the ending to Covenant also does.

In summary - I fucking love Alien 3.

This girl live-tweets as she watches Alien for the first time, while (somehow) having no idea what the film is about or what happens: https://twitter.com/gaileyfrey/status/7 ... 5967135744




It's brilliant!

The bit where she finds out about Ash made me cry like an idiot in the middle of Starbucks in Edinburgh today. I couldn't stop laughing for far too long.

Well at the end of that thread she says she's going to do the same for Aliens, but it was a year ago and fuck trawling back that far to find out if she ever did

Not officially, but someone's written a patch for it (look up MotherVR) that makes it work.

Alien: Isolation protagonist Amanda Ripley is making a comeback in a new game – but it’s not what you were hoping for. Alien: Blackout is a survival horror game for smartphones, where you’ll need to guide the aforementioned character’s crew through the Weyland-Yutani across seven perilous levels.

Oh.

Presumably it'll have a shit energy meter that depletes as you play, and when you run out you have to wait 24 hours to play again or pay $3.99 to refill it.

Tsk its almost as if you know nothing of mobile games - the refill will only be available to purchase via small Jonesy cat tokens and you can only get them by opening lootboxes in the shape of egg sacks - drop rate of cat tokens will be 1/50 and there is a chance the cat token will get freaked out and run away

Lootboxes can only be purchased by crystals
Crystals can only be gained by mining
Mining runs down your energy reserves faster than normal

And on and on ......
