Its been over 20 years since I read Weaveworld and the biggest thing I remember from the book are the chapters where the characters go walking in the desert for the Scourge. It felt like I was walking with them for hours upon hours, chqpter after chapter, and nothing... such endurance, in search of something forbidden, only to find at the end of it all something so terrifying and horrific. Because it was written so brilliantly, it became vivid and ended up being a fantastic sequence in a film I'd never seen.

I might not be remembering it well, I am in my mid-40's now, but I always remember that part with such brilliance.

I really enjoyed this Unreal Tournament mod back in the day. I was absolutely terrible at it, but I found it was a great multiplayer version of Thief. I wonder if there will ever be anything to replicate that experience in today's gaming market. It does seem like the masses want 100 hour long RPG's that take an age to learn rather than a sneaky game, and loads of work must have gone into Thievery to make it what it was.

Pinhead was super pissed off in this movie. Rumour has it his gas bill went up🤣 Not only killing those opening the box, but taking out huge numbers of club-goers in many ways; chains, CD's, glass... The club scene is one of the most violent and sadistic scenes in any movie, and I love it. It seems uncharacteristic of Pinhead somehow. Do you think we will ever see thos side again?

[Spoilers]

Tool are a great metal band and to prove it they included them in Alien Earth along with many other great artists like Metallica and Blak Sabbath. At the end of Episode 2, my favourite episode, you hear "Stinkfist" before the opening credits.

But if you are aware of Tool's videos they are well suited to Alien because the videos are very dark, they were clearly inspired by the man H.R Giger, who was responsible for the Alien creature! In Tool's music videos there are also beings very similar to the Xenomorph like in their video for "Prison Sex". This video deals with strong material such as rape which is what the Alien films are about with the face hugger impregnating people.

I believe Tool and Alien are a great match and why the Alien Earth series did so well.

I love this series it totally got me into the Alien franchise.

Also when TOOL come on at the end of episode two. It just made this thing peak.

Theres no mention of Big Chap in the films so why do they call him Big Chap. Its very confusing.

(Spoilers) Ive heard the moaning about the Aliens dying quick but Alien: Earth absolutely needs Xenomorphs to die quickly. Not because they’re weak and that but cos the real horror isn’t the creature anymore it’s the science.

When the Aliens die sooner then those films especially slow ones like Alien, it shifts the spotlight to Prodigy’s experiments, hybrids, parasites, and the messed‑up shit twisting everything on Earth isnt it. The Xenos aren’t predators here they’re like just part of something like bigger? We've all seen the Alien films its getting boring about one thing thats why they wanted to like branch out literally to something much bigger then those Aliens with dock'off heads and no eyes with green shit for blood!

EDIT: ALSO TOOL! BRILLIANT

Because if there like vermin you couldnt really use them because they'd take over the whole entire planet you put them on. So if we was taking out Putin they'd take over the hole of Europe too and go over with the boats to America wouldn't they. You cant control them isnt it

When the 8ft basketball player xenomorph dies at the end, have a future mining company donate some of the rocks that contain said basketball man's fragments. Using special Weyland technology they could fuse the particles together containing the DNA of our man. This could then be used in a siper futuristic science lab to conduct experiments which could be the setting of the next film. A group of hijackers take the lab and find they are hunted down by the Offspring as the clumsily break the test tubes or whatever the DNA is in. Most of the film is the hijackers trying to survive in this lab until they discover even more technology from Weyland that are hospital syringes containing more of the black goo from Prometheus. Now what they do is secret but it could make you twenty foot tall with a bald head like the bloke in Prometheus but with huge muscles that could break solid walls very easily. This would multiply how terrifying the beast is at the end to make way for another sequel. You could also have xenomorphs in the film to create a sort of three way war to make it more dynamic.

Alien Romulus was amazing that 8 foot tall monster they call the Offspring was actually really terrifying, when I saw it in the cinema I needed them to pause the film to catch my breath. That monster evolves so fast who knows what it will evolve into I do believe a human and Xenomorph killing machine. Now if you like me have seen all the Alien films i think the Xenomorph needs to take a bit of a back seat as the Offsprings is here. Everyone knows in the Alien Series they did, the xenomorphs were being killed left right and centre. If i am not wrong. The first encounter with a Xeno results in its death that was quite easy. The Offspring is an absolute killing machine so I think a movie with Offsprings should be the next move as I think the world has seen so many Alien movies audiences are bored of the Xenomorph design and acid for blood, that is very 1970s.

The end where the 8 foot alien shows up is pure nightmare fuel. It was just as overwhelming as the first time you saw a Xenomorph in Alien. The speed it evolved into a huge towering being is absolulely terrifying.

The speed. The height. The threat. Brilliant.

Yes people All In was the greatest PPV of all time it had everything the wrestling the moves the blood and the returns! It was a certified bona fide classic of the mind! And the main event got eleven stars absolute technical masterpiece! Whos with me?!

Yes people ive been watching wrestling an awful long time and I have just watched the most incredible PPV of all time it was All In it had crazy matches and blood amazing technical wrestling and returns it was incredible almost as much as fact can be. I think AEW does amazing PPVs and I think anyone who tries to argue against that is incorrect. The other companies are churning out rubbish and there PPVs are not as long just very cheap and cheerful. AEW puts on amazing wrestling that it in another league to the competitors because AEW IS WHERE THE BEST WRESTLE and that cant be denied mark my words. Watch this PPV and you will believe.

I was really looking forward to seeing this game as I love both Hellraiser and first person games. The game looked really interesting and I liked the team making it. However IGN recently posted fifteen minutes of game footage and honestly have never been so disappointed. They seem to have given it the same mechanics as Resident Evil with inventory management, even the same fonts. Also same thing where you need to collect 5 skulls to progress through a gate which will take you to the next part. Things like that.

Combat looked alright until they unveiled a boss called Bruno, who rose from the ground like Frank in the first movie. The player shot Bruno literally about 27 times in the head. This bullet sponge destroyed any sense of disbelief the game had for me. I hate the fact headshots gave little damage in Resident Evil, they clearly used the same mechanics here. Bruno rose from the ground over a dozen times, in a small space. The whole thing looked very awkward.

Anyway I was wondering what are other people's opinions here. Is it just me?

1998, what a year for games...

I have loved games until around 5 years ago and I have had depression for an awful long time... when I played Thief and Thief 2 and finally Thief Deadly Shadows, I was more than content. Thief 4 was absolutely awful. I haven't played anything like Thief since, maybe Dishonoured, but it only scratched an itch.

Why are there no more games like this?

I only play three hours a week now with friends on Hunt Showdown. Yes the game uses stealth with online players, thats fucking great, but I really want another Thief and its getting too much now. 😪

CT are either my #1 or #2 band of all time. One thing that occurred to me all this time is that I love to play guitar, and that Cocteau Twins are heavily guitar based, yet apart from one or two times I never felt compelled to play them? Its odd. Does anyone else have similar thoughts? Maybe subconsciously as their sound is so effect based and otherworldly, I felt I could never do it justice.Not one power chord can be felt through their back catalogue, not even the drop D tuning you could play with Heaven Or Las Vegas... the sounds just dont SOUND like a guitar with the angelic voice of Liz. I am thinking maybe thats what sets them apart from other bands, I think its something special.

2015, Paradiso in Amsterdam... first time seeing Beach House. Crowd was very quiet during support act. Then darkness, suddenly you hear the high pitched drone of a keyboard which suddenly registers as their first song from Depression Cherry, Levitation. I was a 33 year old man at the time, but I start bawling even before LeGrand and Scally walk on stage. Now, im now no stranger to crying as have bad depression and am medicated for life, but its the first time for me during a gig. Not really sure what emotions were stirred up, either beauty, happiness, or the fact it took so long to see my then favourite band in person coming from the US.

Just thought I'd share, please dont laugh... i really love the band and they are really therapeutic for me.

In Wembley the atmosphere will be off the charts being in Wembley with 90000 sickos, its literally going to be like a higher function of human beings where all that pleasure just culminates in Wil fucking Osprey winning that World Championship. The pleasure will literally be off the literal charts and it will hit harder than a juggernaut being driven by a very drunk London driver OK). Literally the whole of Wembley will unite and forget the crimes in that area MARK MY WORDS THIS WILL BE THE GREATEST EVENT OF ALL TIME AND NOT JUST IN WRESTLING

Once you went through the Cocteau Twins back catalogue and listened to everything, what bands did you progress to?

For me it was Beach House

Not as prolific, or genre defining, they were and still are a great band. They sound like a darker, slightly more troubled Cocteau Twins, lead singers voice is more husky, but the CT inspiration is all there. The jangles, high notes, atmospherics are all there as well as melancholy. Bloom is their magnus opus. Their guitarist also adds more elements to the table, such as slidey guitar heavenly sounds as evident on the song New Year.
