Acid for Blood

OMG. I was looking for Alien wallpapers on the internets and I came across these:



Aliens (and Predator) plushies!

I particularly like both the Alien Queens (middle row, left and centre), especially the one with the chains, but the Drones and the Predator are cute as well. Not so enamoured of the Chestbursters (the one on the bottom row, centre, is a Queen), but the Facehugger with Egg is nice (bottom row, left).

I saw them on Forbidden Planet, but I will resist looking for a place that sells them over here. I really shouldn't spend money on cute plush toys. *glances guiltily at (small, I assure you!) plushie collection*

On a related note, does anyone remember the Alien vs. Predator arcade game made by Capcom in 1994?







Alien vs. Predator was a side-scrolling beat-em-up in which up to three players could play simultaneously. You could choose from one of two Predators to play, or one of two humans. I usually played as the Predator Warrior, and my brother played as the Predator Hunter. Sometimes I played as Linn Kurosawa, but mainly I was the Warrior. It featured the anime-style art that Capcom was known for, as seen in games like Street Fighter Alpha or Street Fighter Third Strike. It's a shame Alien vs. Predator never made it to consoles, because it was such fun.

I was watching Aliens over the weekend, which is why I was looking for wallpapers. :>
