By the way, Directors Cut is the only way to fly for me. I did see that version first though, and I get the arguments for showing the colony before the attack removing all the tension, but I just love all the shit with the potbellied white-collar working stiffs complaining about bureaucratic bullshit surrounding their jobs. Seriously, it's the best. And you can't argue with the scenes about Ripley's daughter. That shit just adds a whole dimension to the relationship with Newt that you simply are not aware of in the theatrical cut. Also, that sentry turret scene is great. I always loved how you really don't see the actual aliens being shot in that sequence. So fucking tense man. Also, isn't Hudson's speech during the drop down to LV-426 cut out of the theatrical version? In my mind, Aliens is not Aliens if it doesn't have Bill Paxton talking about sonic electronic ball-breakers.
I did end up buying the special edition. I probably should have just paid the sixty, but I don't feel all that bad about it. I enjoyed the game quite a bit, save for Michael Biehn's performance and the ending. I'm enjoying the hell out of multiplayer and I think I'm going to try to beat Ultimate Badass this weekend. Also, I've thought long and hard about this possibility, and I don't think I just said all of that because I'm talking about a thing I just spent a hundred fucking dollars on.
I really like Tiny Tina. I don't know, "crumpets are crunk" is really funny to me. The people that said all this to Anthony Burch are pretty stupid. "Verbal blackface"? Get the fuck out with that shit.
