Okay, have none of you ever heard the term "poker face" before? It means a blank expression, like when you're trying to hide your emotions and thoughts.

Ummmmm.......... Maybe he retracts is legs. I dunno about the antlers, though.

TheKhanzumer 06-21-2003 11:24 PM

I agree with Jacob. Steef shouldn't have "powers" just his own physical capabilities and his weaponry. Is it "official" that he turns into the centaur right? I hope this isn't just a clone of Abe's Shrykull.

By the way, could somebody explain to me what exactly skunk bombs are? I haven't watched any of the videos so I'm kind of behind.

Also... I'm really concerned about the whole boat thing... if the horse-monkey part was right why not the talking to his boat?

Xavier 06-22-2003 08:00 AM

well he doesn't have to have power, and what is that Hulk cliché?
he can turn into in a furious centaur? I need that vidéo to know more

Look at Sligslinger's pictures in MojoMan's topic - you can see clearly that Steef turns into/from the rhino-shark. I hope this ability is done properly, though, because simply transforming randomly is not a good thing. There'd better be a decent explanation. Skunk bombs, by the sound of them, are bombs that release a potent stench. As for the boat, numerous possibilities spring to mind - the boat is actually a telepathic creature; the boat is made from the wood of a sentient tree (similar to the Raisin); Steef is delusional and just thinks he's talking to the boat. We haven't heard anything about what it is Steef will be transporting in his boat, and EGM did say half-monkey, not half-gorilla, so they might not be 100% accurate in what they said...just expressed their findings to the best of their ability.

I don't think Steef will be rescueing anybody in this one because one he looks to be a sort of rouge bounty hunter and two he is being hunted down by that turtle creature. I think the idea of trying to save your race from extinction or reviveing it has become something of the past. So Steef will most likely be like this misunderstood character whome has this temper and is trying to get away. So in finnish I don't think he will be transporting anything on that boat. As for the powers it won't be any controling ability like Abe and Munch. It will most likely be that turning into the Minitaur thing and then him useing his crossbow. Thats what I beleive.

Jacob 06-22-2003 02:52 PM

Why does he have to be "misunderstood"?? Can't he just be a general b*astard to everyone?? And a killer...

Which reminds me, i've been having dreams of killing people recently. Would anyone care to tell me what this means...

Wil 06-22-2003 03:22 PM

You could ask Justin, since he says he can translate dreams, but apparently something dark, mysterious and protected by conspiracy happened while I was away, because he's nowhere to be seen. *squinty eyes*

BigMad111 06-22-2003 04:48 PM

i think steef´s power should be a/an ape/monkey like phisic...

Wil 06-22-2003 04:55 PM

Pardon me?

Justin left because he don't have the time anymore to come regularly, so he also ask to remove him from his moderators and administrators fonctions aswell

Wil 06-22-2003 05:21 PM

Ah right, okay then. Seems a bit enigmatic, if you ask me, covering all signs of his tracks, but hey ho. *squinty eyes again, to suggest I'm thinking things I'm not going to say*

Maybe it starts of really small then it ivolves into the bigger creature as it gets older or as it gets stronger.

Wil 06-22-2003 05:34 PM

'Pardon me?' is the polite way of saying 'what do you mean??'

Jacob 06-22-2003 06:31 PM

Justins trying to breed with the Greys...he wants a child like that one out of 'Taken'...

SeaRex 06-23-2003 01:52 PM

Skunk bombs? *slaps forhead* Let's just hope that OWF hasn't had the bright idea of actually making them mammals that Steef shoots out of his crossbow...

I tend to agree with Jacob. He should just run fast and shoot stuff. That's just about it. Leave the moons and the mystical powers to Munch and Abe. But I guess a minor transformation wouldn't be too bad...

Lol, that's what I was thinking, but I was in a polite mood, so I left it.

Oh dear... you haven't actually seen the production art in the X-Factor video, have you? See attatched.

Xavier 06-23-2003 03:24 PM

thats is hilarous... even good as shoot brew cannets

Wil 06-23-2003 03:29 PM

Although it does make one wonder why there are skunks on Oddworld. Perhaps they're refine the design to make it a distinctly Oddworldian skunk, much like they did to Rats.

Xavier 06-23-2003 05:01 PM

yup lets hope so, lets keep our fingers crossed

SeaRex 06-23-2003 08:24 PM

*smacks face on keyboard*
Well, so much for the absence of crude humor.

Next you'll be telling me that spooce is going to make a wicked comeback. :D

Jacob 06-23-2003 10:39 PM

How about Steef inserts one of his horns up my anus? Eh? Would you all like that? Eh...f*cking sicko's...

To answer your question Xavier, it wouldn't really fit in the story...you'd just get to see Steef be random with his moods...thats all...don't touch my penis...please

Dequibenzo 06-24-2003 04:35 AM

Hello!? He's a feral Clint Eastwood, right? What magic powers could you possibly need when you're Dirty Harry who can crush skulls in his teeth and run 50 miles an hour?

As for transforming, I admit I'm not the expert Max is, but I thought the doccumentary showed that the four-legged, horned look was an old design, and that now Steef is two legged. Remember Lorne's comment about how they were still working with the horns, and how they shortened the torso and stuff? I really think that the four-legged look is being or already has been discarded for the two legged shambler look. Frankly, transforming into a centaur-moose sounds kind of... sucky, really. A LOT like shrykull. But the boat that talks to him, wether by magic of some kind or a psychotic episode of Steef's, THAT sounds a lot more original.
Or maybe he shoots feather boas out of his eyes like silly string. I dunno, we have to wait and see.
