Assuming 'Bolamite' is a species name and not a general term like 'spider', you therefore confirmed that the arachnids in SW and in NnT are the same species.

Pretty sure that's the assumption OANST was pointing out.

This however... how do you know when one season starts and ends?

Each season is 100 days long with a fifth season which corrects when it all goes out of date.

It'd be great if those sandy coloured bolamites were native to Scrabania whilst the darker ones were found in the more forested areas around the Mongo River, it'd make evolutionary sense and show some diversity in the game fauna that a lot of franchises wouldn't bother with.

Are we really doing this? It's a spider..

oh but it's so much more

El Dango AGAIN 11-17-2013 05:49 AM

Actually, it's two legs less.

Wil 11-17-2013 06:38 AM

Count again.

91 days with a fifth correctional season or a season with one extra day (probably winter or summer) except on a leap year would be more accurate. COME ON MAN

STM 11-17-2013 07:18 AM

You're assuming it's set:

a.) On Earth
b.) On Earth in the current day

Slog Bait 11-17-2013 07:24 AM

Yes I am.

Count again.

I counted again, turned out to be wrong. Didn't notice the small ones.

Bullet Magnet 11-17-2013 09:25 AM

It seems clear to me that these versions are in it because 1: they have more character, and 2: the FMV quality model already existed. even though they put so much work into upgrading the gameplay version.

The correct answer is four less legs. Or two pairs less. Those small ones are appendages called "pedipalps" which are like a hybrid of mandible and leg. In real spiders you can use those to identify the males, because they are swollen and bulbous at the end. Because in the males they are like hybrid mandible, leg, and testicle.

It's not venom that was injected into Spider-man.

Yes, he was trying to point out that OWF members were making an assumption. I was trying to point out that they weren't making any assumptions given that you had already confirmed it as fact.

I said they were both Bolamites. You're still making the assumption all Bolamites are the same species.

That was what I was suggesting/asking in my followup post. You're yet to clarify that detail.

Or do I have to send an email to Alf?

Wil 11-18-2013 05:20 PM

If you're tempted to contact Alf to get a clearer answer, then... then I'm not sure if that's an insult or compliment.

A little from column A and a little from column B. And because its Oddworld, a little from column C :confused:

Aren't you the one doing all the Alf stuff on the site?

Wil 11-19-2013 03:04 AM

No. I know who Alf is, but as ever, I'm not telling.

No, Alf writes Alf's column. Why won't anyone listen to me?

No.

How come you were logged in to Alf's Twitter account? Or is Alf really lots of people?

Wil 11-19-2013 07:02 AM

Quite a few people have accesss to that and all the other official Twitter accounts. Before we set up @OddworldInc it was a bit all-over-the-place.

Varrok 11-19-2013 09:28 AM

On 1st April, OWI should give a temporary access to them to Gishygleb, I'd love to see the reactions

MeechMunchie 11-19-2013 02:34 PM

At the rate it's going, Alf is probably Lorne.

El Dango AGAIN 11-19-2013 03:15 PM

I thought Alf was Paul Fusco.

Explains why he never says anything concrete at least.

When coming at realizations for all and many, much discerned may be received if seen and thought about for Newish slash Tastiesh. If all be well then seen will be, and consumer (as we all?) may hum to self and know for truth and not for lie.

See how can be done?

Don't give it to Gishygleb, give it to OANST to act like Gishygleb.

Varrok 11-23-2013 01:07 AM

OANST is not Gishy enough. If I try hard, I can actually understand what he means.
