Prometheus Musings: The Engineer
So I’m enjoying a lazy Saturday evening, watching the Rockets light it up in the first quarter as I peruse the Alien pages as normal. Sometimes I enjoy lurking in the dark much like the Xenomorph itself, learning and studying from afar. Other times I’ll jump and try to destroy worlds like David himself. In…

Interview with Cold Forge author, Alex White by David Gogel
My love for Aliens: Cold Forge is no secret by now. I hope a good portion of you have found the time to read it. Alex White was kind enough to set aside some time and answer a wide variety of questions. I threw just about everything at him, and his answers (and fortunately, my…

Aliens Cold Forge Review by David Gogel
There are fewer things I enjoy more than a good book, and what’s better than that? A good Aliens book! I was cautiously optimistic after the reading the premise, but ended up far exceeding my expectations. After a bit of slow going since the release of Covenant, we again have a new Aliens story to…

The contributions of the Alien Community stretch from Facebook to Twitter to Instagram to Podcasts to Tumblr to Blogs. There is so much that…

Advent: A Study of David’s Lab and Mind
Well. This was a pleasant surprise. Not only did not I not expect any bonus features with my digital copy but I did not expect anything as awesome as Advent. My love for David’s Lab is no secret by now. The table and sketches tell such a story by themselves, it just captured my imagination.…

Hidden Gems: AvP: Requiem Bonus Features
I thought I would take a break from another Alien Covenant discussion, and try something else on for size. With the Covenant blu-ray only a couple short weeks away, it’s the perfect time to revisit an older home release: Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. A complete mess of a movie, but containing one of the coolest…

Prometheus : 5 Years Later
On June 8th, it will reach the 5 year anniversary of the release of Prometheus (in the States at least, it released a week early overseas). This was the movie that changed everything for the better or for the worse, depending on your point of view. Until I slowly worked my way into the…

Alien: Covenant Review *Spoilers*
Here we are. We’ve reached the aftermath. By now the movie has released worldwide. And there is a good chance by the time you’re reading you’ve seen the movie at least once. I caught an early showing Thursday night and again Friday late afternoon. I figured I could get a good grasp on the film…
