One-Minute Time Machine
So charming! From the Youtube description: “Every time the beautiful Regina rejects his advances, James pushes a red button and tries again, all the while unaware of the reality and consequences of his actions.”
Groundhog Day
It’s like this movie, but with Bill Murray instead of Tom Cruise. And Stephen Tobolowsky instead of aliens. Also there is a time loop.

Tom Cruise in a Video Game
Save points. Back in my day. Old-school save system where you have to go back to the beginning every time.
Biological Von Neumann Probes
The possibility of the cosmos awash in aggressive noodly alien murder machines. What are the odds they’d wind up at our doorstep?
Mimic Morphology
Spaghetti Monster tumbleweeds! Bioluminescence. Alienness. Hybrid creatures. Hierarchy.
Starcraft
Zerg rush! Starcraft was almost Warhammer.
Exoskeletons!
Reminds us of Elysium! Exosuit interfaces. Neural interface versus gestural. Safety mechanisms.

What are thresholds of alpha blood exposure to contract timeloopism? Best method: bathing? in the butt? in the mouth? All of the above? Will the effect ever “run out?” Blood-bathing, Sookie Stackhouse style.
Time Loops!
Control of time loops. Like a garage door opener? TV remote? Is it time travel? Many-worlds interpretation. Branching timelines! Terminator meatballs.

Chris does. Whatever it takes!
