    If things progress, it won't be long before you might expect to read that Andrew has stranded himself in the middle of the ocean aboard the S.S. Misadventure, when he decides to sell his successful hydrofoil company on letgo.com. Of course, buyer must pick the boat up where she still floats. In small print -> comes with Andrew onboard.

    Makes sense for CT to fold. They probably made a small margin on each game, but with repeated quality issues from HP, CT customers need replacement parts and had to go through CT to get them, and CT was being ghosted by HP. Parts were promised to CT's Alien customers dozens of times for over ten months and they weren't flowing, even by the request of HP's biggest distributor. It is not hard to ship parts so HP either didn't think it important, didn't intend to send them, didn't have money to buy them, didn't have credit to get them made or something else unfavorable.

    HP had the opportunity to make this company work, yet it seems like they were grossly unfunded and never made it out of the gate. HP also and came in thinking their product was 100% when it still needed physical tweaks. Hopes for a turnaround were high, yet have since crashed and burned. If you were paid in full and counting on seeing your Alien, that option is forever gone. Sorry folks but it's over at HP, and somebody needs to turn out the lights on the way to the parking lot.

    Quoted from InfiniteLives:

    lets bring it all together now

    Switch Alien and pinball machine object for the version of them pointing in opposite direction. Let's see ... that would put Andrew's head near the alien's crotch. Hmmmm. You know the Alien with his fingers moving and the game lights twinkling. You might have to sacrifice the Supreme and repurpose it as Alien, please.

    maybe this was how Andrew was able to steal the printer.
