Very interesting. I want to play this game more now to learn more about the Alien storyline. It will explain gaps between Aliens and Alien 3 for example to have it make more sense.

Hate to say it, but I wouldn't get your hopes up too high for Colonial Marines. I used to work at Gearbox, and the development of that game has been a total train wreck, going on what, 6 years now? Gearbox isn't even making the game, except for the multiplayer. Primary development was outsourced to TimeGate Studios, which has a less than stellar past.

I hope it proves me wrong, as I still have alot of friends still working at Gearbox, but I am expecting it to be average at best.

Mug, what do you do now?

I definitely had a dream I was in this video game last night. it was pretty awesome (my dream) so I'm now positive this game will be a letdown

EyeGuy,

Still do games. Working for a new company in Austin called Armature Studio. Several of us used to work for Retro Studios in Austin making the Metroid Prime series.

I liked the Metroid prime games, especially the first one.

Imagine my surprise when reading another gaming forum and saw a reference to a post on Texags. This quote has been posted a lot recently around the web, I just never realized it was from here.

Mugwort obviously knew what he was talking about.

Too bad, too many hands seems to have porked the soup

Todd Keller is a MSU alum

One of em I couldnt find, but the other likes Shiner and plenty of Texas country. And I have mutual friend that I recognize as an Olsen Field regular.

I'll keep your secret mug.
