I have a whole rant to make about how hollywood degenerates depict aliens as monsters, but that's a story for another day.
In what fiction and entertainment is concerned, the alien was my favorite character to play as, in the AvP video game (the one that's come out in the 90s I believe it's the 2nd part, the 1st one had not been so good from what I remember). I was playing with my high school colleagues in internet caffees after school for like 2 hours straight (cause that's all of the money we've had to rent the PCs for

)
So anyway, we were 6 people obsessed with this game (along with other games like Quake, and 4 of us also obsessed with Starcraft, the other 2 guys were playing some car racing game while we were playing Starcraft, but otherwise we would all play AvP).... so yeah, 6 guys playing AvP locally (in internet caffee) and I was the only one playing as alien, there were 2 marines and the other 3 guys were Predator.
And the fuckers would always rally against me whenever they saw me (not because of my skill) but because the alien was the fastest character in the game (but they also hated the alien for some reason, that's why they'd target me first all the time), even I couldn't control it properly many times and I was jumping from one wall of a huge large room straight over everyone on the ground, and straight onto the opposite wall while the others were rage-targeting me while I was busy controlling my character. The fuckers...
Anyway - and without false modesty - I am proud to say that after a few weeks of live, hardcore action and a few numb fingers I managed to play the alien so well that within seconds (regardless of which maps we were playing) I would manage to kill one of those bitches (I can even feel their heavy gaze on me and hearing them "you mo**** fu***, f*** you John"
Oh, the memories... I just wished people started playing the games of the 90s again in LANs, like Stacraft (Broodwar, of course, not the abomination called Starcraft 2)... DOTA (again, the REAL dota, not the crap that's Dota 2.... although, I think that Dota had come later on, in early or mid-2000s), also Bomberman 95 had also been fun as hell (probably because I was good at this game too

)... and even Counterstrike would be nice to play again with my high school friends but alas, they're all married with children and sad as fuck, can't even go have a beer without asking their wives.... also some of them have left the country to work abroad so I've lost touch with them...
Oh well.... life... comes and goes without even noticing and without realizing why we live until we're on the dying bed... I guess the best thing you can do in life is to create happy memories, otherwise I can't see any other purpose to life...
