Which is marginally disappointing.

JayDee 01-18-2013 10:40 AM

Wait, the post says the posters seen in the intro. Hell, I want a Meech Munchies poster with 'extinct' painted across it!

Varrok 01-18-2013 10:43 AM

Gosh, you must really hate that user.

EDIT: Oh, and you missed an apostrophe

JayDee 01-18-2013 10:49 AM

An apostrophe on the end of Meech Munchies would imply the Munchies belong to the dead Meech from which they are made of.

I don't think you understood his joke. '

I understood the MeechMunchie user joke, I just didn't understand where I had apparently missed an apostrophe.

Sorry, I'm keeping it.

Don't be a douche, make him a xerocopy

Apostrophes are used when shortening two words into one. For example: "What is" becomes "What's".
Also, the apostrophe is also used when showing the possession of something. So like you said how you wanted to steal MeachMunchie's poster, it belongs to him and therefore requires an apostrophe.

No wiki needed.

Well aren't you a fountain of knowledge.

Nepsotic 01-18-2013 02:40 PM

You missed a comma after "well". A standard comma.

I'm on fire t,oday!

Varrok 01-18-2013 02:46 PM

That's some creative not use of commas

Nepsotic 01-18-2013 03:04 PM

Non standard.

Phylum 01-18-2013 03:11 PM

Stop. Please.

I'd never noticed before, but there an uncomfortably excessive amount of space between the "MUNCHIE" and the "S" on that poster.

That post on ow.com was a bit short on information. Were they just coming up with new posters for the in-game cinematics, or are these actually going to be printed?

Varrok 01-18-2013 03:23 PM

I think they said this thing is not related to the actual game production. So probably not ingame cinematics

Nate 01-18-2013 03:30 PM

I assumed that meant that they weren't announcing a new game, but that it could relate to a previously announced one.

So it wasn't about soy food after all!

I think it's for in-game cinematic but it would be fantastic if they had them printed. I would love the Rupture Farms ads in my room :)

They specifically mention that they had commissioned Johnny Eveson to produce the posters, and Eveson is the same guy who made and sold prints of those fancy art deco Oddworld posters we all loved a while back. He sells prints of his poster designs, so it’s actually a safe bet that we might see prints of these.

Slog Bait 01-19-2013 07:04 AM

Sweet. Now I can finally cover my walls with Oddworld posters. It's like a dream come true.

Sekto Springs 01-19-2013 08:38 AM

I might be the only person on these forums that didn't like his posters, which is strange because I really like Art Deco. I don't really like the new New n' Tasty logo either. Not that I could do better.

Nepsotic 01-19-2013 09:11 AM

There's nothing really different, about it, though. Did you not like the original?

Non standard.

You're obviously a prescriptivist. How very droll.

I'm looking forward to seeing some more posters, I don't know why though, but there's something about that one specifically which seems...not entirely professional. I'm not sure why though, might be something to do with the writing.

Phylum 01-19-2013 02:24 PM

The text on that one fisheyes out rather than having the shadows all following one direction.

Varrok 01-19-2013 02:28 PM

Yeah, yeah, the new one is shitty and all the artists responsible should feel very ashamed.

MeechMunchie 01-19-2013 02:37 PM

I think it's a perspective 3D effect, rather than drop shadows.

Manco 01-19-2013 02:48 PM

It is – note how the green coloration on the lettering also shifts hue as it gets further from the center.

Problem solved.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't realize that you already figured it out.

I was kind of disappointed as well when I saw the new poster... but on the the other hand the original one was dull as well. I'm waiting for an other poster before final judgement.
