abe is now! 02-15-2008 09:47 AM

In fact it is "in bounds". But I read in this file (that I attach in this post) "imbalanced". Anyway I heard "in bounds".

Zerox 02-15-2008 10:38 AM

AIN, that isn't an official walkthrough or script, therefore, that could be a mis-hearing just as much as BM misheard it.

It is quite certainly imbalanced. It makes more sense, and I can certainly hear the '-nced' at the end, which you don't in 'in bounds'.

And it's "imbalanced at that" not "at best".

Wings of Fire 02-15-2008 11:13 AM

I hear imbalanced at best :S And I only played it yesterday, it makes the most sense but meh....I'm probably wrong.

EDIT: Just watched it again and I'd swear on my life it is 'Imbalanced at best'.

abe is now! 02-15-2008 11:16 AM

I always hear "at best" when I play AO. Because I hear at least "-st", so it should be "at best".

Pluss Best rhymes with test

"Said our land was changing, was emblanced pluss best. He told me my fate, was to rescue the rest"
Do you mean this?

Fuzzle Guy 02-15-2008 01:07 PM

No, I was saying, Best rhymes with test (I thought it was test, got it confused with rest.)

I was saying Pluss to add onto what you were all saying.

Ok.

I want to tell about Mudokons's names that Abraham was who led Jews to Palestine from Ur. So it is possible that Abe (if he was really Abraham Lure) was chosen to lead Mudokons in their Promised Land, maybe out of Mudos.

No. No. There is so much wrong in that paragraph.

Abraham was, according to the bible, the first person to believe in monotheism. In a world of decadence and debauchery, he found spiritual meaning and spread that to those around him. That seems like a pretty good example for Abe. That said, comparisons to Abraham Lincoln freeing the slaves are probably more appropriate.

As a further clarification, he didn't lead Jews anywhere because there weren't any Jews at the time, nor would there be for another 400-odd years. All he led was his family and that of his nephew Lot. Plus, he led them to Canaan, not Palestine - Palestine didn't exist as a geographical name until about 150-odd A.D.

It has no metter now, I wanted to tell something that you told, but you know I am not a teacher...

New question: are those glaciers? In this screenshot of Hand of Odd we see some mountains and... are those glaciers :fuzconf:

Fuzzle Guy 02-16-2008 02:38 AM

Mountains.

abe is now! 02-16-2008 02:41 AM

Yes, OK, but what are those "white things" on them? Are they glaciers or simply snowfields?

Fuzzle Guy 02-16-2008 02:46 AM

Just snow. Like the Alps or other high mountains.

abe is now! 02-16-2008 02:59 AM

Alps have glaciers. Big glaciers.

Fuzzle Guy 02-16-2008 03:00 AM

Oh, forgive my ignorance.

abe is now! 02-16-2008 03:31 AM

So, are they glaciers?

Xavier 02-16-2008 03:56 AM

Why did you re-upload that picture? You could link it from TOGG as it's where it comes from you know ;)

What makes you believe it's from Hand of Odd, it's simply a visualisation test featuring plenty of characters.

So even if we can make out if those are from ice or rock it doesn't really matter as it's simply a test

I say mountains...

Nate 02-16-2008 03:57 AM

I fail to see how it's important. It's impossible to tell from this distance but if we ever get to visit those mountains, we'll know for sure then.

abe is now! 02-16-2008 04:05 AM

Ok, ok, anyway I thought it's from Hand of Odd because I found it in Hand of odd screenshots.

Zerox 02-16-2008 04:14 AM

Hand of Odd was never produced for there to be screenshots.

abe is now! 02-16-2008 04:23 AM

http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...php?menu=SSUN1 I have always thought these screenshots were from Hand of Odd because watching this http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...S-TestArmy.mov and then reading the artbook at Hand of Oddworld pages, I noticed the same environments and the same characters.

Bullet Magnet 02-16-2008 03:42 PM

Back then, Munch's Oddysee and Hand of Odd were being made at the same time. Characters, art and other information was frequently and freely exchanged between them.

abe is now! 02-17-2008 03:51 AM

Yes, but I haven't ever seen Hand of Odd's characters in MO's production. And I have never seen Mudokon fishermans in MO. There are MO's early movie where there are native Mudokons with long hair on Elums. And a question about the old MO is: what are those tower that didn't appear in MO, but that are in the old version of the game?

Wil 02-17-2008 04:44 AM

You asked about the towers in the last thread and we told you. They’re guard towers, and can be found across the Wilderness Region. They were just never used in the final version of the game. The video with Mudokon fishers was a CG test for Stranger’s Wrath.

Slaveless 02-18-2008 08:03 AM

This is a question concerning the Meech Munchies poster seen a little bit throughout AO and AE. Do you think that the little mark saying 'Extinct', is really vandalism caused by rebellious Mudokons? I mean, why would the sign need to say that Meech Munchies were no longer avaibile and that Meeches were extinct?

Fuzzle Guy 02-18-2008 08:09 AM

Maybe they've only just gone extinct. Quite literally. Before they've had a chance to come up with a new product and change the sign.

abe is now! 02-18-2008 08:52 AM

If you look well at the poster, you notice that the phrase "no longer available" seems marked. Certainly they added that phrase later. And maybe that word has been written when they couldn't make other Meech Munchies and so they understood they were extinct.

AlienMagi 02-18-2008 09:11 AM

I have some questions:
-What is stranger's real name?
-Why did he want to cut his back-legs?
-How old is stranger?
-Is there any new oddworld game coming up?
-How Mudokons born if they have no sexual organs?
-Why are Abe's lips stitched?
-Is Abe the only one who can chant?
-Who exactly is the great raisin? (or whatever it is...)

I hope you can answer to all theese...

AlienMagi

Nate 02-18-2008 09:14 AM

All of those answers are already available in TOL's FAQs, TOE or by searching on these forums. No answer will be provided until you have tried using these resources.

See the first post in this thread for the relevant links and information.

OddYouko 02-18-2008 03:30 PM

Ok I have one. In Munch's Oddysee how do you switch between Abe and Munch?
And say you're controlling Abe can't you make him go in some water?

Slaveless 02-18-2008 03:41 PM

There is a button on the X-Box controller that allows you to switch characters instantally.

You can make Abe go into water, but he will drown and die.

OddYouko 02-18-2008 03:46 PM

What about when you possess a Slog? Can you make them explode like Sligs?

Bullet Magnet 02-18-2008 03:52 PM

Yes. They squeal something awful.

OddYouko 02-18-2008 03:54 PM

Cool :D
What about Bigbro Sligs?

Bullet Magnet 02-18-2008 04:30 PM

Yes. Somewhat more alarming.

Nate 02-18-2008 11:38 PM

I think the answers to all your questions may be summed up as follows: Just buy the stinking game already!

abe is now! 02-19-2008 03:50 AM

Why did Slogs die after Sloghut for "Slogs madness"? Why did they get it?

AlienMagi

1) Nobody knows the real name of stranger,
2) He want to cut his back legs because he's afraid about sekto's hate for steef, so he want to cut his back leg for tell apart the steefs.
3) The mudokon born by egg done by mudokon.
4) Abe's lips stitched because his parents didn't want to listen him screaming when he was younger,
5) Abe isn't the only who can chant because if you see at Monsaic Lines, there are many mudokons chanting ;)

Buy the game!

OddYouko 02-19-2008 09:30 AM

Sorry Nate I don't have an Xbox nor do I want one the same goes for MO. :goof:

Where Sloggies in MO?
Why wasn't Elum in MO?
Why were all the other Gabbits captured but not Munch?

Wil 02-19-2008 01:23 PM

Yes.

Is this going to continue in this fashion? How about you just ask your questions and we can answer them, instead of asking one at a time and hastening the death of this thread?
