abe is now! 05-28-2008 11:25 PM

We also see an island in Mudos that has always intrigued me :D!!!

OddYouko 05-30-2008 09:19 AM

What's on the moon in the background? Is that just part of the coloring or is it the Mudokon hand? I can't tell. Sorry about the picture being so fuzzy.

It's Abe's hand, only it looks odd. Tilt your head to the left and look at it, you'll see that it is Abe's Moon.

Xavier 05-30-2008 10:06 AM

looks like a mudokon hand indeed...

Bullet Magnet 05-30-2008 10:07 AM

That isn't it. Abe's moon can be seen in the background of a hidden area. This is one of Oddworld's many other moons. Those dark shapes are just Lunar maria.

abe is now! 05-30-2008 10:28 AM

We can see Abe's moon in this screenshot.

What is it?

Bullet Magnet 05-30-2008 10:56 AM

Lunar maria (singular: mare) are the name for the dark "seas" on the moon. They are basaltic plains created by prehistoric volcanic eruptions, and are less reflective than other lunar surfaces due to the rock being iron-rich, which is why they appear darker.

abe is now! 05-30-2008 11:46 AM

Oh, I know what it is... but I didn't know the name. So, I was wondering: is it possible that the hand on the moon has been created by an asteroid in the form of Abe's hand?

Sanssouci 05-30-2008 11:58 AM

I doubt a scientific explanation is really appropriate but I seem to remember the explanation being multiple meteor strikes whose craters coincidentally overlapped and formed the shape.

Shovels. Lots and lots of shovels...

Munch's Master 05-30-2008 01:55 PM

But where did they get the spacesuits to dig on the moon? And more to the point, who got in the spacesuits? ;)

Mine wasn't an explanation for the mark on Abe's Moon, but for the dark patches on our moon, and quite probably the dark patches on some of Oddworld's moons as well. The mark on Abe's Moon was made of craters, and that moon is not Abe's Moon.

I was responding to Abe is Now!s question about a hand-shaped meteor, Bullet Magnet.

Wil 05-31-2008 03:32 AM

The moon OddYouko posted an image of is Abe’s Moon. The pawprint simulacrum was created by a meteor strikethat was either thousands of years ago or just as Abe was escaping RuptureFarms.

abe is now! 05-31-2008 04:30 AM

When Abe escaped from Rupture Farms, where did he pass? Is there any passage? How did he reach Zulag one? He was in a corridor... did he fall? Did he jump from a precipice (I mean when he discovered Mudokon Pops and ran, just before the beginning of the game)?

Wil 05-31-2008 04:58 AM

Are these really questions that occur to you, or do you spend time thinking them up?

Yes, they occur to me. In fact I don't know how Abe could reach Zulag one and I wanted do know it. And I was wondering how he reached it... I think it's hard to do it.

Alf says that the war between Muds and Glukkons happened because of Abe's Moon, so the meteor strike happened thousands of years ago.

And that's waht Max told us ;). Maybe the Abe's moon is something created to destroy the peaceful life between Mudokons and Glukkons... we don't know enough about this argument, so we could also think that the Mudokons wanted to prevail on Glukkons, but it all failed and then the Glukkons subjugated the Mudokons by using their errors. And the marked moon maybe the spark that set off the war. It looks like a RPG :D!!!

MeechShrykull1029 06-03-2008 03:12 PM

I don't think it was created to destroy the peaceful life between Mudokons and Glukkons. Abe's Moon is obviously good to Abe and the Mudokons, and peace between them and the Glukkons would also be good for them. The war was created, because the Mudokons called themselves the chosen race, because of Abe's Moon. The Glukkons were probably angry, so they made the Mudokons their slaves.

abe is now! 06-04-2008 08:37 AM

I think Glukkons couldn't do anything alone... I think they acted with the help of another stronger bad class. Could my opinion be right?

Bullet Magnet 06-04-2008 11:14 AM

Before they took to hiding their bodies in sharp but restrictive tailored clothing, they may have been physically proficient, even with only two functional limbs.

Strangers-Moon 06-04-2008 11:39 AM

Sorry bout this one, it's most likely a question that has been answered over and over but apparently in Exodus in the background on one of the levels you can see a meech, is this true?

Unfortunately I have no idea what level and if it's true at all. Thats why I'm wondering if it's true and what level it is so I can see it for myself.

Bullet Magnet 06-04-2008 11:59 AM

There are Meech Munchies posters in a number of AO backgrounds, maybe in an AE background.

Wil 06-04-2008 01:35 PM

This is not true at all. It’s one of the oldest rumours there is.

Ah thanks for clearing that up, I have seen talk of it all over the place but never saw a confirmation about it:confused:

MeechShrykull1029 06-04-2008 02:18 PM

There ARE some Meech Munchie posters in RuptureFarms, but they say the same thing as the one in the FMV.

abe is now! 06-05-2008 06:37 AM

What are really Sloggies? Are they Slogs's sons? Why are they smaller than Slogs?

They're basically Slog pups.

I never do stuff like this but it was way to hard to resist

abe is now! 06-05-2008 08:04 AM

Xavier! What the hell have you posted? Anyway, I mean Sloggies and not Sloggi XD! What are they? Jordan, I think they're Slog's pups too, but why are they smaller? Why are they slower?!? What are they?!?!? Who created them?!?!?!?

Um. Do you even know what a pup is? It's the offspring of a dog. They start off small... And grow. So I assume that's what happens with a Sloggie.

abe is now! 06-06-2008 01:14 AM

Ok, so my big question is: do Slogs have sex and don't have a queen like other species?

Wil 06-06-2008 02:09 AM

We don’t know. Oh hey, my F.A.Q. addresses this question:

I don't think they have a queen, because I found a pattern with simpler Oddworld creatures. Paramites have queens, and so do termites. Scrabs don't have queens, and crabs also don't. I don't think Slogs have queens, because dogs don't.

Sanssouci 06-06-2008 05:05 PM

That's not a pattern.

Yes, just like how fish and octopi have queens too.
