Lol, yeah, that was my guess based off of the premise of this game. Maybe we could rebrand this game as ST:TNG The Game Episode and it'll be more relevant. Hehe.

I just don't do horror well. But here's a great video explaining the movie and comparing it to the original source material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As IT tags people, they join his team, until everyone is IT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the name of the film but that's all I know. What's the premise (beyond the nothing-provided-but-suspense in the trailer?) "In remote Antarctica, a group of American research scientists are disturbed at their base camp by a helicopter shooting at a sled dog. When they take in the dog, it brutally attacks both human beings and canines in the camp and they discover that the beast is actually an alien lifeform that can assume the shape of its victims and imitate them perfectly, down to the smallest details. A resourceful helicopter pilot (Kurt Russell) and the camp doctor (Richard Dysart) lead the camp crew in a desperate, gory battle against the vicious creature before it picks them all off, one by one." It's also an A+ movie that I'd highly recommend watching, even if you aren't usually big in to horror. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very intense game of Among Us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among Us basically is just The Thing in game form, I think the devs have even said as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox | 1,642 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 7 hours ago, ZeldaFreak said: There are theories that The Thing is meant to be an allegory for the AIDS epidemic, so you never know... We didn’t identify AIDS until June 1981 and the Thing was filmed in August 1981. So that wasn’t the original intention in the source material or script, but they may have been aware of it while filming. Interesting take. Actually another radical 80s remake, The Fly fits better.

I feel like I've seen multiple at once before. If so then nevermind, my reasoning is invalid, haha. 11 hours ago, FireHazard51 said: You know I'm in.... Everyone else: Was wondering if you'd show up!
