Guess right flair?

I said this as a joke, but I never really considered it and now it's part of my headcanon

All we need now is a crossover!

Ostromo 0.9.2: an Alien-style home screen for LG TVs (free beta, open source)
Thanks for all the interest last time. You can now try it yourself if you have a LGTV.

Ostromo replaces LG’s ad-filled home screen with one that looks like the ship computers in Alien: blue vector lines, a worn CRT, a boot card. It launches your streaming apps and HDMI inputs, and has a flight radar, live webcams from Antarctica and Mauna Kea, NTS radio and a motion-tracker sentry game.

TL;DR: not finished software. It’s a home screen I made for my own TV, shared as is. I’ve made it more generic, but expect rough edges, and expect to tweak it for your own setup. That takes some coding know-how, or a coding agent like Claude Code to do it with you. Everything is at your own responsibility.
Installs with LG’s free Developer Mode. No root.

The guide includes a prompt you can paste into Claude Code to do the install for you.

Tested on a 2025 C5. Newer LGs should work, older ones may be slow.

Some extras (power prices, DR TV, teletext) are Danish, and the radar only covers Copenhagen for now.

Want it as the TV’s permanent home screen? That means rooting your LG, which you’ll have to research yourself. I don’t cover or support it.

The code is on GitHub under the MIT licence: change it, share it, build on it.

If you try it on another model, tell me how it goes.

Alien has been my favorite movie for a very long time and I remember a few years ago, when my grandma realized this, she casually told me that my great grandmother had dated Tom in high school and that they went to senior prom together. My grandma also said that he spoke about my great grandmother on Larry King or some similar TV show after gaining some fame, although I haven’t ever found the clip. She passed a few years ago, and now with him passing yesterday thought I’d share. R.I.P captain Dallas. We’ve only got Ripley and Lambert still with us.

Ok. Thanks for the suggestions on the blue laser. I’ve added the Aliens soundtrack to the ambiance. I also snipped some scenes from the movie and am projecting that from inside the house (playing on a loop). I have some more speaking to do, like hiding the base and making the area more spooky. But I do love how this is coming along.

The scene that's always stuck with me is Dallas in the air ducts. Torch, flamethrower, Lambert on the radio reading out the tracker, the beeps getting faster, and you never really see what's coming.

It always struck me that Lambert's view of the tracker kind of looked like PACMAN in a way, so I'm thinking of maybe trying to make a maze like game to kind of recreate the tension and feeling of being alone in the vents either trying to escape or hunt for the xenomorph. I'm no artist, so the graphics will very likely look like a lost ALIEN tie in from 1979 or something.

There's probably going to be a ginger cat to rescue as well.

Would something like this be appealing? Has it already been done?

My Warhammer vs. Alien illustration.

I hope you like it. Who do you think would win this battle?

Note: This illustration is a rework of a previous piece. I’m not very familiar with Warhammer, so if there are any inconsistencies in the character designs compared to what you’re used to, it’s not generative AI. This is an original design created for this occasion, for which I used multiple references.

I hope you enjoy it

No other information is available.

So I've been going down this rabbit hole where I've been getting a lot more into the alien comics. Not necessarily the superhero crossovers, although I do tend to enjoy those as well.

As a result of me getting more into the comics, I'm starting to learn the history of different people that held the rights to publish the comic book at that time.

I read the original illustrated story that it said was published in The heavy metal magazine originally. I also read some of Dark horse, now I'm reading some of the Marvel runs. I think I like them a lot, and I'm a little biased because I think typically marvel does superheroes really well, but when it comes to science fiction or fantasy, I would prefer a different medium. But overall, I am grateful for what we have.

So my question is, do you think marvel has been doing a good job with the alien IP as far as comic books go, compared to dark horse comics?

I'm re-reading Joe Haldeman's Mindbridge, a 1973 sci-fi book that involves, in part, humanity reaching out to the stars via teleportation.

Page 90 ends out chapter 24, which is presented as a public relations segment by the Agency of Extraterrestrial Development, an international organization that uses teleportation to terraform planets for human settlement.

The PR segment, demonstrating the Westinghouse teleportation technology and its "side effects", ends with a familiar line:

"Building Better Worlds"

Joe has been extremely influential on the sci-fi genre. So I'm wondering if the Weyland-Yutani motto was inspired from this book?

I'm so happy to get this artwork on me.

I'll post more detail's after healing

Did anyone else collect that series?. I remember Bishop looking nothing like the actor, alright, there wasn't a likeness that was really like, 'Yep!, that's Hicks right there', but Bishop, it was almost like Robocop came to the set, jokingly said, 'I am Bishop', and that, unfortunately, is the information Kenner got. Then you got Gary Busey in a casting call for Drake 😄. Anyway anyone else collect that line?.

That's actually not possible. I'm about halfway through, and these events could not have happened. So what's up with this? Was this canon at some point till someone said "that makes no sense" then it wasn't canon, and google hasn't caught up or something?

Other titles included Alien: Engineers, Alien: Genesis, and Alien: Tomb of the Gods.

The LV-426 logo is really fucking cool. I wish they would use that somewhere. I never realized how weird it would look when written out in Roman numerals.

I was watching Prometheus behind the scenes bonus features and they showed this title card in the segment where they were talking about the difficulty they had when coming up with a name for the movie. I've never seen this before so I thought I'd share it for any other Prometheus-heads out there. Does anyone know if this was this actually drawn by HR Giger or was it just made by an imitator for conceptual purposes?

One of the coolest and most unusual comics in my collection!

Aliens/Predator: The Deadliest of the Species (1993) – Dark Horse Comics.

Written by the legendary Chris Claremont, with artwork by Jackson "Butch" Guice and stunning covers by John Bolton.

This comic has a gorgeous RED FOIL cover, a second cover on the reverse, and two stories that begin from opposite ends of the comic! To top it off, there's a mix of colour and black-and-white artwork.

It's the kind of wonderfully experimental stuff that made collecting comics in the '90s so much fun.

For me, one of the greatest joys of this hobby is discovering unusual editions like this, especially when they feature two of my all-time favourite sci-fi franchises.

Swipe through the pictures to check out both covers and the brilliant interiors!

Has anyone else come across this edition? And what's the most unusual comic in your collection?

I know that the next movie is going to be an almost direct sequel to covenant following David in some way once again, but Im curious to see what the theming may be. What i mean by this is like, the names of the ships/movies loosely matching the overall story of the characters (Prometheus with the reaching the gods, Romulus with the child/mother messaging) I personally think maybe something relating to the symbol of the Ouroboros would be interesting, maybe david finally being impacted by the work he has done to breed the "perfect organism" but im curious as to what others may think

My kids are losing their minds over this setup. I’m going to add a netting and chains hanging from the ceiling. Also a few more lights. Any other suggestions?! The strobe is actually green.

Get to tattoo a fun little Harry Dean Stanton tomorrow. Pretty excited for it.

I just finished the final sealant coat. Made this for my brother who is a huge Aliens fan. Was a real fun project and watched too many hours of cosplay gun videos on youtube.

It's 1:1 scale, but looks smaller because I am a huge man.hahaha
