Yeah but then he wouldn't laugh after he farted, he would scream and choke...

glokstar 12-15-2006 10:49 AM

Well, guys i sense you are searching in the wrong direction...

OT: Um, how exactly does your sig pic appear?

Edit: Ok, actually i fixed it now. Only its a bit smaller than i planned

snuzi 12-15-2006 11:08 AM

Well, I feel that this entire conversation is going nowhere. It's not as if we'll find out if we're right.

glokstar 12-15-2006 11:12 AM

Snuzi, can u see my sig? If yes, is there any way I can make it larger, or this is the standard?

snuzi 12-15-2006 11:16 AM

First of all, stop spamming.

Second of all, yes, I can see it. I haven't the slightest clue whether or not you can make it larger. I believe there's a limit.

glokstar 12-15-2006 11:19 AM

Snuzi, damn u. Im not spamming. It was a simple question.

As for Abe's breading, guys, I do agree with Snuzi although he should be damned :p There is no real answer and we aill not find out by guessing.

snuzi 12-15-2006 11:23 AM

We probably won't. Not unless the people who created the characters actually told us themselves.

And yes, you were spamming. Try reading the rules, glokstar.

glokstar 12-15-2006 11:29 AM

Fine. All i want from u is not to say: dont spam. Instead tell me where i should ask my question and not be so rude. Thank you.

snuzi 12-15-2006 11:34 AM

You're still spamming. And now I'll stop, because you're making me spam now, and I don't want the mods mad at me.

glokstar 12-15-2006 11:35 AM

Good, good.

Jordan 12-15-2006 12:47 PM

First of all, nice sig Glokstar, second, pack it in with the spam!

Abe sort of has a 'snout' above his mouth, it's like a lump thing, perhaps this is his nose, and he might have tiny nostrils on it or none at all.

Abeguy 12-15-2006 03:09 PM

YEah...

I just think it's through the mouth...like many have stated...makes the most sense

Xavier 12-15-2006 03:10 PM

agreed, stay on topic and stop spamming
personal or not intresting to the whole public questions can be asked via PM

glokstar 12-15-2006 04:11 PM

I wish Alf would explain everything in a nice, thorough manner. It will of course never happen :D

snuzi 12-15-2006 05:37 PM

Perhaps if someone found an image of a mudokon skeleton, we could settle this once and for all.

that would be very surprising since he left Oddworld for HighMoon Studios before the developpement for Stranger started :p

No wonder that Stranger didn't even seem like Oddworld at all. It was Farzad's touch. *sniffle*

Oh and...Xavier? Any Mud skeleton pics?

snuzi 12-15-2006 08:23 PM

I hope there's at least one out there. I've searched all over for one, but found nothing, unfortunately.

Jordan 12-15-2006 11:02 PM

How about that one in the intro of AE? That one where the Mudokon is crouched up, does that show anything?

snuzi 12-15-2006 11:23 PM

Eh, not really, since it's only showing the Mudokon from the side. Plus, it isn't very detailed.

Fuzzle Guy 12-15-2006 11:59 PM

You don't need a nose to breath. I was unable to breath through my nose till I was nine years old (I had an operation to cure this problem). I managed to stay alive for nine years, even if I couldn't smell anything.

So I'm guessing he breaths through his mouth.

snuzi 12-16-2006 12:03 AM

Well, actually, we're trying to figure out if mudokons can smell now. And if so, using what? :p

Slaveless 12-16-2006 06:24 AM

Mudokons do have nostrils. I saw them on one of the Mudokon's skull, which are right above their eyes. These can be seen in the copyright images of AE, right before the game begins. Didn't you see the skeletons?

snuzi 12-16-2006 11:25 AM

Actually, no, I haven't. Could you maybe show me a screencap or something of it?

Jordan 12-16-2006 12:38 PM

They're right above the eyes? That is definately strange, I wonder how they sniff, they'd probably do what we do to raise our eye brows, weird! '.'

snuzi 12-16-2006 12:43 PM

If the mudokons have their nostrils above their eyes, then their skulls must be similar to the ratz. It's still odd that their nostrils aren't visible at all.

Jordan 12-16-2006 12:46 PM

Perhaps skin covers them and when they are used for smelling they open up, a bit like how fish gills work, sort of...

snuzi 12-16-2006 12:52 PM

I doubt it, since we would have probably noticed that somewhere along the line.

Jordan 12-16-2006 12:54 PM

I guess it's one of the mysteries of Oddworld, and it probably won't be that important in future, unless OWI show how Abe breaths in a future movie/game.

snuzi 12-16-2006 01:01 PM

Yeah, seriously. I doubt we'll find anything out anytime soon.

Xavier 12-17-2006 01:17 AM

there are mudokon skeletons in the art of book, I'm not sure some were released on the net, If I have one, then it's on TOGG
