I could go on and on about how boring and out of place the Na'vi design is but that would just be beating a dead horse.

For my redesign, I gave the Na'vi six limbs and four eyes to make them consistent with all the other pandoran fauna as well as a pterosaur-like body plan and a head based on the thanator to make them less humanoid.

Some more Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps last night. We still died horribly of course, but survived longer and got to see some cool expansion content (notice the queen who never moves in the pics since we didn't even get close enough to aggro her).

Getting closer to the queen and her eggs while new xenomorph variants from expansions appear.

As far as crazy mashups go, that was quite enjoyable.

I assume budgetary constraints forced New York to look like some drab communist state factory city in the rain. 🤷‍♂️

The biggest drawback was the whiney leads Broderick and Pitillo and their strained romance. 😖

Other than that, I quite enjoyed this rewatch. 🙂

Erich von Däniken ist tot: Spezialist für das Galaktische

Von der Wissenschaft wurde Erich von Däniken nie ernst genommen - sein Erfolg litt darunter nie. Bis zuletzt füllte der Autor große Hallen, wenn er von angeblichen Alien-Spuren auf der Erde berichtete. Nun ist der Schweizer gestorben. Von K. Hondl.

Some Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps last night. We did better this time, it took more rounds before we were completely overwhelmed by hordes of xenomorphs (if you look close in the last picture you can see we ran out of tokens for the massive number of aliens and were using every other kind of token we had). Of course we had to have the movie on in the background 😎

A big mob of xenomorph minis surround Hicks, Frost, and Vazquez, but they're about to be annihilated with our flamethrower and grenades.
An army sized contingent of drones and blips overwhelming our marines at the end of the game. Our auto-turrets have long run out of ammo and just offscreen our endurance and exhaust decks are about to run out.

Are aliens going to take over planet Earth? Not likely, says Dr. Robin Corbet of the University of Maryland and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. The reason may be as simple as this: We humans just aren’t that interesting. Read more from @sciencefocus:

My 11 year old son kicked me out of the room, rented my PC with Unreal Engine and asked me how to change Timeline scale. 10 minutes later... WOW, it's like being abducted by aliens with a light field. I've already started thinking about adding this to my game

Okay, so, drawing Eternatus marks the end of my pokemon journey of trying to catch a full alien pokemon team in Pokeomon Sword. And Eternatus was the last one I caught for the team.

I am not a huge fan of its design -- it's not easy to draw with all the sharp repetitive parts and bright colours -- and I didn't have the patience to make the details very refined. However, I think I did manage to capture the overall vibe at least.

I like drawing cuter and simpler pokemon more...

Aliens claim they’ve observed Earth for centuries but never intervened. What do you think kept them hidden until now?

Oct 7th

Communion (1989)

A writer believes his family is being visited by extraterrestrials at his remote cabin.

This is Christopher Walken’s most insane performance. He’s:
-mumbling
-shouting
-acting weird
-laughing & dancing (in a spaceship)

Eric Clapton’s score is WAY too sensual for an alien movie.

It’s a terrible film with amazing nightmarish sequences.

Watch it if you like really weird shit.

The Seep. By Chana Porter.

You are living in a future utopia where invisible aliens give humans the option to be in intimate contact with all living and nonliving things on earth creating oneness and harmony and eliminating all need and suffering, but this of course turns into a dystopia for you.
