No. It's more of an insult to Lorne.

But, anticipating your response to that, who cares if they're cracking jokes about Lorne?

I understood what you mean... anyway, who made that comic, doesn't know the word "respect". The respect for the others.

What? Who cares? How often have comic strips been respectful of anyone?

So, let them insult Oddworld... but it's so sad :(.

Words, AIN. It's not like they convinced anyone not to purchase Oddworld stuff. Any publicity, you know?

Both are kinda right here.
Some jokes are fun, some are tasteless and only made to say to someone: "You suck (<- I use a rather polite insult here!)". And this one is definitely meant to insult one special person, not just someone random or people in general.

I'd take it with humor if someone made jokes like that about me (because having a low self-esteem makes it easier for me to laugh about myself... HAHAHAHA!!! Loser.), but I don't like to see guys who make jokes about people who try to do something good with what they do.

That's my opinion.

It's supposed to be mean, but Penny Arcade comics come with a column that in part addresses the week's comic. And here they say that they would prefer an Oddworld film and look forward to it. It balances out.

Have you ever read any interviews with Lanning? He's a giant tool who loves the sound of his own voice. He needs to be taken down a notch.


Also, you're a dude.

The size of the boot is inconsequential if you have feet big enough to fill them. In all of Lorne's interviews that I've listened to, I've found him to have just as much substance as style, surely the purpose of a free form interview isn't to have the interviewer take centre stage?

You misunderstand. He often rambles on, saying lots of pseudo-smart things while not actually saying anything at all. And by often, I mean always.

OANST, one question. If you hate Lorne, why are you an active member on a forum that exists to support his works which are also the reason why this oddworld forum exists at all?

By now, there aren't much members in this forum who love and support Oddworld. And especially who post about Oddworld in the Zulag 1...

I joined for the games. I stayed for the abuse.
