  • The concept of Alien life is something that is rather interesting and highlights just how little we know concerning what form it could take. In attack the block, after meteorites begin raining down from the sky, creatures would begin to attack a small group of young men and anyone who gets into the way, as they searching for one thing, females. But what exactly are these creatures and where did they come from? Lets discuss that in todays episode!

    Crazy way they pulled off the vanta black was to rotoscope the alien bodies in CGI along with enhancing the glowingteeth, in by the way they did practical effects with a guy in a fur suit and stilts.

      I think that the wiping out populations part was the initial intent of the Xenomorphs in the Alien films, at least for the first one. In the audio commentary for the first DVD release of ALIEN, Ridley Scott basically says that the Engineers would drop the xenomorphs (in egg form) down onto a planet's surface like biological bombs and then they would wait for them to wipe out the natives. Granted, in Scott's original ALIEN, the creature had a very short life-span and would die after a couple of days. This got changed when the sequels were made, of course.

    As a Brit, I can say that, in all honesty, most of the country can't understand people who were born and raised in London. Also, given that the accent changes every 40 miles or so and regional dialects are so diverse, there are already Brits that struggle to communicate with Americans.
    For example, I have to force a different accent and change my dialect when I talk online, because no-one outside of the UK is going to be able to decipher a thick Geordie accent and dialect.
    As for why American accents seem to not change nearly as much, unlike England, you didn't go through over a thousand years of people leaving their place of birth for anything outside of trade being a rarity.

    The discussion between 19:17 and 20:33 is an excellent reminder that we are the kings of pattern recognition on this planet. We take in only as much information that is needed, then we essentially auto-pilot the rest of our way through life. It's the same reason why you can see "dig bicks" and read it as something completely different at first. Our brain knows what the original words are and fills in the blanks to assist us. The youtube channel "BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks" has a video going into more detailed examples in their video "Does Letter Order Matter?" in which examples like "I cdn'uolt blveiee that I cloud aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg..." can be found. It isn't talked about enough but pattern recognition is one of our strongest assets that helps keep us on the top of the food chain. It can also be argued that pattern recognition can be applied to subconscious behaviors like something just not "feeling right" or feeling like we are being watched.

Like, I'm not really capable of lifting much weight with my upper body (mostly because my spine is screwed, it's a matter of support, not strength). I'm only around 150lbs, but my legs can handle up to 210lbs, they kinda have to in order for me to even be capable of standing let alone walking or carrying things.

      even Then, like I said, criminals still have guns. They don’t even need a gun to cause serious harm to someone who’s far weaker than them. I have a female friend who’s extremely cautious when and where she walks, even then, one time she got harassed by a group of highschoolers before running as fast as she could back home, cause even a single teenage male can overpower most adult women. Guns are called the great equaliser for a reason, if someone knows there’s a chance you could easily defend yourself, no matter how weak you are, they aren’t gonna take the risk.
      Obviously not everyone should have a gun, you should get a psych and record check and be properly taught how to use one before being allowed to buy one. The requirements to get a gun right now however are far too strict. If someone has a gun or is physically stronger than you, the police won’t always be on time and you can’t rely on your local farmer to happen to be in the area and doesn’t mind getting sent to court for saving you.
