How big a fan are you?

General Drippik · #1 08-26-2001, 04:01 AM

I was just wondering.... How big a fan are you?
Well, I'm doing a project at school on, you guessed it, Oddworld.

One, Two, Middlesboogie · #2 08-26-2001, 09:52 AM

I have been known to buy magazines just for one article about Oddworld! Although I do that for Spyro and WipEout as well...

Oddusty · #3 08-26-2001, 10:34 AM

ohh. .. I'm a big fan of Odd.
I LOVE IT!
Lorne Lanning is my second God

Oddsville · #4 08-26-2001, 12:50 PM

I love it to, I've always been a huge fan of Oddworld ever seince I got a demo of it in the mail.

Black Dragon · #5 08-26-2001, 01:46 PM

Well, I've had 3 Oddworld web pages...my room is decorated with Oddworld pics from the net...I've been drawing Oddworld characters for 3 years...and Lorne Lanning is one of my heros. I'm a pretty big fan, hehe.

Gluk Schmuck · #6 08-26-2001, 02:18 PM

if i wasn't an atheist, LL'd be my only God...but i'm Oddist, so he's my only Odd!

OI do the best storylines...

BTW: what's this project about?

General Drippik · #7 08-27-2001, 03:39 AM

Well, it's just about oddworld areas, and it's inhabitants.

Everyone keeps coming up to me and Director Phlegg and saying, "What's Oddworld?" And I say in my head, "Idiots..." I got some logos from oddworld.com and stuck em on right next to the places. What I've done is folded it and cut a popout of Abes head in the center so it pops out when you open it. The front is... Sorry, gotta go..

AussieAbe · #8 08-27-2001, 04:52 AM

Well whenever I see even a picture of an Oddworld creature I always ask around where can I buy it or Do you have anymore of those books.
Draw your own conclusions.

freakyLA · #9 08-27-2001, 04:51 PM

Outside of gaming I try to brew my own brew, make Abe coustums, just learn English for understanding the fanficts, do fan arts and fanfict, then I´ve got about 800 OW picts, I make my own SS brew machines....

BTW : Are you allowed to do an Oddworl projevt in school?

Zoolag · #10 08-27-2001, 05:17 PM

I'm a fan...i have the gamez...i talk on here...i visit the web page...i am the normal fan...then you have your stalker fans...these fans are listed above with all of their convictions...i do apologise for this but buying a magazine for one article...not only does that scream "WASTE OF MUNNI" it also screams "THICK TWAT" i aint trying to start arguements but i am putting my point across and my point is why dont you jus' read the magazine in the shop then you save some munni...and aussie abe babe or woteva your name is...wot do u mean when u ask:

"Whenever i see a oddworld creature i always ask where can i buy it"

Oddworld is not real dear...its made up...its a game...a profit scheme...something to entertain the stupid citizens like us...we play little gamez that stimulate our brain activity and calm our hunger to kill...we are primitives...if OI knew we would think that OW was real they would destroy it...it isn't supposed to be thought of as real...SO STOP...FOR THE LOVE OF...SOMETHING IMPORTANT STOP!!!!

General Drippik · #11 08-27-2001, 08:51 PM

The teacher said we could do it on absolutely anything.

Anyway, on the front there is the front of oddworld and the back of oddworld. Next to the places there is a hole where you stick your finger in, turn the page and there is some info on that place. I haven't got much info yet.

Capri Ream · #12 08-27-2001, 09:17 PM

I don't buy magazines for one article on Oddworld, I TAKE THEM FROM MY COUSIN'S HOUSE!! Just because my mom doesn't want to spend 5 bucks on a magazine (go figure) and my cousin would throw them away if it wasn't for me!! He only reads them for two hours then shoves them in a basket until I go to his house and take them home.

I think it's very kool of you to do a project on Oddworld, Drippik!

General Drippik · #13 08-28-2001, 03:28 AM

Well Phlegg is doing one too.

I have to do it by friday(I'm in AUST). That sux. Phlegg has only just started, I wonder how far he will get.

***Cloverfield*** · #14 08-28-2001, 04:20 AM

I'm sure I'll cop some "waste of money" comments from Oryon here... but hey, I'm the person who's gone to see a movie 14 times... so I'm just a fanatic!!!

Here is my rather long list on things I do that make me a fanatical Oddworld fan!

Created Oddworld-Web
Co-run Oddworld Forums
Went to visit Oddworld Inhabitants (I live in Australia, but I was going to the US anyway at the time)
Buy promo items from eBay (one pamphlet I paid $70 US for)
Planning on going to e3 next year if I can
Buy magazines for one Oddworld article
Got a giant billboard poster of Abe's Exoddus when it fell down
Collect Oddworld images/movies
Have pictures of Oddworld around my room
Have Oddworld customizations on my computer
Visit Oddworld sites every day
Have multiple copies of the games (different versions ... PSX, PC, import)
Ordering an Xbox from the US to so I don't have to wait 3 months longer for Munch

And yes, I am probably missing a few. I have always been a fanatical person. That is just me... and if anyone ever has a problem with it, I basically tell them to stuff off. It's the way I am, and the way I always will be.

As for all of the others who are more than just an average Oddworld fan... I say a big "cheers" to you!

Abe babe, I thought I put this in Fan corner, if you read this, can you move it?

I actually moved it here because I thought it was more appropriate for this forum. Fan Corner is really just for Fan Fiction, Fan Art, etc.

I'd consider this topic Oddworld related enough to go into this forum.

I wanted to buy a US x box ,too but think of the dvd code. I wouldn´t be able to play European games on it then.

Gluk Schmuck · #18 08-28-2001, 01:23 PM

yeah, that's annoying...

PAL, NSTC, why is there a difference???

General Drippik · #19 08-28-2001, 08:20 PM

All my games are PAL.

Dakkan Blackblade · #20 08-28-2001, 11:28 PM

Not enough to spend 350 dollars.

Sydney · #21 08-29-2001, 12:21 AM

I'm not really one to get obsessive. I really love Oddworld though, and I run the Oddworld fan site Oddworldian. I also founded and co-run Oddworld Forums.

I also have some posters in my room.

Pilot · #22 08-29-2001, 12:28 AM

Well, I've been named "The Biggest Fan" by the Man himself. I think that pretty much sums it up.

Hmmm... I was called that too... I guess I got overtaken.

Which reminds me ... I still have to send you an email ... I've been really slack lately!!!

I didn't expect many replies...

snorfie · #25 08-29-2001, 06:39 PM

I'm not sure if it's much, but i've memorized the words to all of the cinematics
in abe's oddysee. plus, i make a MEAN
brew!!

General Drippik · #26 08-29-2001, 08:58 PM

I've memorized all the words too!

Zoolag · #27 08-29-2001, 09:21 PM

Again...the word "Stalker Fans" hammers away at my cranium...

General Drippik · #28 08-30-2001, 03:40 AM

Right.....

Danny · #29 08-30-2001, 07:49 PM

i'm not really a very big fan at all, to be honest. i play the games and visit here, but that's it. i don't buy any computer mags, and i don't have any odd posters or anything. about the most fannish thing i do is to write fanfics, but i've stopped now, cos no-one fecking replied...
