Lets discuss skulk!

in NS General Discussion
So I'm at my aunt's house, and Alien is on tv. So I say to myself, "What the hell man, you've never evens seen this whole movie!". I watch it, very good. Then I start to think, why is <b>Skulk</b> so big? Now I know that this isn't AVP but I was wondering what it would be like to have <b>Skulk</b> at like, half the size he is now (if possible in HL engine). Has this been discussed before? Would <b>Skulk</b> be really hard to hit at that size? Would it follow to reduce his attack power? Would this be hilarious?

So yeah thats just a thought I had while watching the face-hugger run around in the ceiling. Might give <b>Skulk</b> more of a "hard to hit, lets panic and shoot all over" feeling when he's around marines. Oh and feel free to kick my virtual butt for not having seen all of Alien yet.

Talk amongst yourselves:

    the skulk is about the size of a dog... not very large, but certainly not a toy poodle.

    It is very fast, and don't forget it can wall-walk.

    A loong time ago, he was the size of a facehugger or so.  That didn't feel quite right, and he was frustrating to hit.

    Btw, his name is "skulk". :)

    I know that this is normal for super coders, but still, I feel you need proper rest.

    He was smaller once... Bleeping hard to hit too. Do you know how -fast- that guy moves?  I love <b>Skulk</b>. He's so fast and purty... Bites hard too.

    Don't you tease me! You know darn well that I have no idea how fast he moves apart from "he moves fast".

    Also Flay, I voted that I loved the names and all, and you can call him Skulk all you want, but he wont be shaking the nick <b>Skulk</b>anytime soon <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    <i>Edit: I had a feeling that he might be too fast for a size shrinking. Anyone have any art/screenshots of the old mini-<b>Skulk</b>? That'd be funny.</i>

    The nice little script that forces me to use l33t sp34k to write the name of one of the more famous pieces of NS history. And censored my sig.

That's just wrong.
