    In case you were wondering if cross-promotion via guest appearances works, I am (so far) living proof that it does. Didn't know a darn thing about Mystery Quest until Tom and his strangly hands made an appearance on Chaotic Neutral.

    I absolutely loved this, the extra visual components in the video were a surprising and super awesome addition. I know Tom has chosen not to do them too much since he wants to focus on the podcast-esque style for multiple platforms, but is was nice to see a little extra spice for those of us watching the video without taking away from the audio in any way.
    It was hilarious to see Ben essentially tank his character so early on with all the stress, it would be pretty funny and unexpected if he's the only one to make it out alive. It was awesome to see Trott return, he is always great fun.During the first few minutes I definitely had flashbacks to the Mothership game where people almost died simply getting out of the cryopods.

    Those of you who are interested, there was an 'unofficial' hardcore fan RPG for Alien back in the day, known as Alien: Fuzion. The PDF's are available. It had a Space Jockey (Pre-Prometheus) plug-in, a Predator (plug-in) and an era called The Cold-War where you fought as a merc against coporations. A huge shout-out to Chris Diaz for making that beaufiful RPG a thing.

    Not knocking Trott’s character or performance at all (he’s hilarious and I love it) but I do kinda wonder what it’d be like to have a sympathetic corporate suit character? A character who starts off truly believing in the rescue mission and the company, and is more genuinely naive than coldhearted; maybe someone who has to come to grips with their whole worldview unraveling as they get increasingly evil orders from corporate hq

      I imagine that to get into the position where you've been assigned as a Weyland-Yutani corporate officer on a mission that's got its own secret "at all costs" directive for you, you've probably already risen through the corporate ranks by being a cold-hearted SOB who's primarily out to advance themselves no matter what. But I do agree your idea would also be a good one to see played out.
