A few minutes ago, Pinball Brothers, manufacturer of the Alien and Queen pinball machines, announced on its social media pages that it is going to make an "important announcement" tomorrow April 26th, which apparently is "Alien Day." I had no idea that Alien Day was a thing, but according to good 'ole Google "Alien Day is held on 4/26 in a nod to LV-426, the name of the moon where the aliens were first discovered in the 1979 Ridley Scott film." So...what do we all think this announcement is? It obviously has something to do with Pinball Brothers' first game, Alien. Could it be a new mod? The Limited Version of the game aka LV already sort of has a topper, those sirens on top so probably not that. Could it be expanded code? Hmmmm. Whatever it is, it gives us something interesting to talk about. I'll report back as soon as I hear anything.
