Do you use the GG app? It’s not QUITE as good as Letterboxd, but it’s the closest thing I’ve found to it for video games

The predator learns that the xenomorphs are kept by WY (from Elle Fanning maybe) and seeks to hunt one as the most legendary trophy, he busts into WY, freeing the alien, and accidentally activating the T-800, which was modeled after a soldier named Dutch who previously killed a predator in the 80s

My pitch: set in the future Alien time in a world where judgement day was stopped permanently in the 90s, it’s revealed that Cyberdyne was acquired buy Weyland Yutani, leading to the creation of synths. The original model remains intact however, and is activated when a xenomorph gets loose

I’ve read Captain America, we’re basically there

Fair warning about this strategy, this is how I ended up with horror/comedy/fantasy/action/adventure/mystery as my genres for my first book, so it can be frustrating

They did??? That is devastating, doesn’t feel right without Pikachu feuding with Snubbull. Still need to find Pokemon Forever though. I found Pokemon heroes randomly in a Las Vegas thrift store for 5 bucks, couldn’t believe my luck

Yeah we did the same before finding these. Now we genuinely barely use the flatscreen. Lately I’ve been playing Metroid Prime 2 on the little Sony Trinitron and it looks absolutely spectacular

I actually found another one for 5 bucks at a different estate sale (we go to a lot) that I keep in my office with my old game consoles too!

Yep! I posted it on another comment but we got this for FREE at an estate sale. Weighs an absolute ton but it looks fantastic

It started off kinda small, just getting movies that felt nostalgic to when we were kids, but we loved watching them so much that now we pretty much buy any movie we like or that we want to see. And they’re so cheap at thrift stores, it’s easy to get like 10-20 at a time

Thanks! Next to all this we found a big CRT at an estate sale and of course a VCR hooked up

This of course does not show the 28 other vhs tapes we have in other rooms of the house

Honestly adapt as much of the legends content as possible. I’m so tired of the canon being so precious. Release some weird elseworlds ones!

Haha I’m taking every advantage I can! And thanks! I hope so too!
