‘Vlad the Impaler’ sounds like a good nickname for the Alien. I’ve given him plenty of nicknames myself. I’ve often called him either ‘Steve’, ‘Foxy’, ‘Tenome’, or ‘Boney’. If ya’ll have any other funny nicknames for the Alien, let me know.
I'll never forget my time in San Cristobal. It was a nightmare, absolutely worst part of the game. The alien kept waltzing in at the worst moments all the time while I was trying to search the rooms, it found me while trying to hide etc. It took me hours and numerous retries and I eventually got so frustrated I had to cool down a day or so.
