Yes, Welcome to the Forums! As for that trailer... It's the original trailer to the original Alien... and funny story. I was 16 when it first came out, and it was the first movie I was old enough to go see by myself... hehe. Well, not exactly by myself, I was old enough to "Accompany" my little brother. But my parents were less than interested, so we went alone... Not having any clue what were getting ourselves into... roflamo.... You have to understand, Alien was so ground-breaking at the time. I was quite literally scarred for life... in a good way... can't tell, can ya... hehehe. The very first Star Wars had only come out 2 years earlier, and special effects were reaching new heights... And then Alien comes along, and totally re-writes the sci-fi/horror genre... It didn't just lift the bar, it shattered it to atoms... And here I am... 16 years old and already a super sci-fi nut... all alone in a big, dark theater with my little brother... about to get the living Kraken-Krap scared out of us... It was SOOOOO Epic!!! Edited August 11, 2018 by Just Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) OK, back on topic... more or less. I came across this earlier today, and I thought some of you might find it interesting. This is Momoko Kōchi... a.k.a Emiko Yamane, from the 1954 Gojira, and 1956 Godzilla Yes, this is her... This is who my Emiko is named after, and partially based on, (along with River Tam). Momoko Kōchi (河内 桃子, Kōchi Momoko) (7 March 1932 – 5 November 1998) Edited August 12, 2018 by Just Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I remember this! I'll admit several names in Emiko... including Emiko herself...are intentional, but Piper was not. It's an actual game generated name, and I just thought it sounded... feisty. But I do remember not long after I introduced her someone mentioning there was a Piper Kerman on Orange.

Zhetaan Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 @Just Jim: You've got it backwards: Piper Kerman is the real-life person who wrote the memoir Orange Is the New Black about her experience in prison. The Netflix series Orange Is the New Black changed the name of the lead character to Piper Chapman, but retained Piper Kerman as a creative consultant. On other subjects, the title of your Youtube reference caught my eye: Sexy Ladies of Godzilla No. 20. Never mind the rest of the title; what I'm more curious to know is, how was there enough material for twenty of these? Is it a statement on the sheer number of people on the cast, or is it more on the number of Godzilla movies out there? Finally, congratulations on the new job. I hope your bandwidth can handle downloading all of the experimental versions of KSP that you're going to need to test. Does this mean that you can suggest things like finally including a 'Don't Show Again' box for every time you take the results out of a Goo experiment, or are you more involved with inside-the-works bug-squishing?

There are a total of 33 Godzilla movies (so far) all but a couple by Toho Studios. So yes, there were more than enough amazing actresses to choose from. 24 minutes ago, Zhetaan said: Finally, congratulations on the new job.

That's got to make things awkward at the company picnic. Also, far be it from me to tell you what to do, but if you don't have Secret Agent Man as one of the tracks in your official working background music, then I will be very disappointed. Also also, since you now have this impenetrable cloak of mystique surrounding you, I shall refer to you as More Than @Just Jim from now on (we can abbreviate it to >@Just Jim if we need to do so).

I don't think so... even if I could, I don't think I'm allowed more than one change. Let's ask the expert... @Vanamonde... if you're out there. Even though I'm working for Squad now, I'm still only allowed one name change like everyone else, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 One name change per person. Just Jim cannot change his own name. He does not have admin superpowers. And now that y'all have called my attention to this thread, I find that it is profoundly off-topic. Please return to the subject of Emiko Station.

Not so long as it's in the context of the story. We know Emiko and Chibi both love to play "Weird Earthanoid" songs, and they like playing Murder-Poof Mystery... so speculating them performing or playing Secret Agent Man in a future performance, or as a variation of "Murder-Poof Mystery" is fine... Maybe I'm wrong, but I think where we were getting really off-topic is my job, and talking about changing my name and all that. I have a different thread about me working for Squad now... and I'm thinking we need to keep these topics separate, and not crossing over into the other thread... did that make sense???

(that might be a while tho, due to @Just Jim's new job with @SQUAD) But seriously. I would gladly have @Just Jim work on bugfixing and other squad NDA stuff for Squad than write Emiko. As a matter of fact, I'm jealous of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
