  1. Like the gun in the longer edit of Aliens by Nicky+G · · Score: -1, Redundant

    This reminds me of the automatic sentry gun from the movie Aliens. What, you don't remember that part? That's because the minute or two of the movie that featured the automatic sentry gun is edited out of the main cut of the movie. Ironically, on television a few times I've seen the longer cut that kept the sentry gun. It was a cool scene, and surprise surprise, now you can build one yourself. GAME OVER MAN!!!! :O
