Same here but sometimes I start to get tired and I just shut it off. I dunno if its just me but I think Im getting bored of the same games year after year. I want some new juice! Don't get me wrong though they are fun to play and they also are number 1 however I am just ready to move forward.

The mines in exoddus were awesome.

NO WAY, man.

When I first got Exoddus I was too afraid to touch the Mines, I Always got my dad to do it and if he did it wrong which he did often, I laughed so frickin hard.

Nowadays I still laugh. Who think the Oddysee/Exoddus Death Tune is really over dramatic. in a funny way?

I got my mum to do it, and when she stuffed it I was like, "you suck balls".

That can't be that offence because she most likely does.

She could be Lesbian though?:fuzwink:

That was one pointless off topic too much, infraction for you both guys.

Yep, Morse code, but sincerely I doubt it.

When I started on AE I had a lot of trouble with the mines; I think they're actually easier in AO because the lack of quicksaving means you have to stop and learn the pattern, rather than just going for dumb luck. I always recite the patterns out loud softly to get it into my head. Beep-beep-beep-BOOP-beep-beep-BOOP-beep-BOOP...

One of the most frustrating secret areas in the games! Only beaten by those two in Scrabania!

aww come on xav, your turning into nate, no offence nate :fuzblink:
anyway, yes, that secret area is so annoying, but sometimes the slig just walks right off the edge, it only does it about every ten times, and mostly when your on the left side of the ledge.

Yeah, I know what Morse code is. I was asking when it was used in AO/AE.

Although, rereading T-Nex's post, it's possible she was kidding and I didn't realise.

Hmm... morse code?

actually...no,i don't :)

hoh kay and whats that in response to fellow just_an_odd?

Every time I see this thread I think it's about Necrum Mines.

Here's a radical thought: the original question?

oh yeah, thanks!

Mine Drills?

And then you read the first post.

A short answer to the question.But if I have to explais becausen:I don't hate mines because they're not hard at all,deactivating them can be fun(if you have enough time)and i like the sounds they make...

What do you mean?

Drills in Necrum Mines.

I always liked trying to find other uses for mines, or other means of deactivation them.

I now remember, me too.

you can do it with drills?

UXB always made me jump if i pressed it when it was Red. I don't hate them at all, there just annoying at times. (If theres three of them in a row for example)

i love the ones at the end of abes oddysee cuz u can do them really fast XD

They're really easy! Just listen to the sound they make and you won't have any problem.

ahah, true - I, sometimes, jump because of that too! :D

EDIT - Sorry for double posting, didn't realise I was doing that! :/

yeah i can do them with my eyes shut -_- ...BANG!!! ok maybe not =P

when i got abes oddysee i always asked my mom to disarm the mines,cuz when abe explodes or hits a saw it really scares me...but now im disarming them without a problem

The mines are quite a nice feature in the game, I enjoy them because of the way they can be used as traps. Many a fun hour luring sligs to an untimely demise.

So no, I don't hate them.

the pattern to the mines are all the same! it goes green, 1 red, green, 2 red, green, 3 red, green.... and it repeats, its the pattern for all mines.

It changes the further you get into the game. They get more difficult.

There are many variants. Wether the difficulty increases or not is questionable.

I was just recently playing AO and AE in order, and after playing the first one I completely forgot the ability to quicksave in AE. :p I can't believe how much easier it makes it.

*only* when you're a noob who can't do jack shit.

The ones in The Boardroom took me ages to be able to disarm, I even wrote the sequence down on a piece of paper! :)

In Abe's Exoddus they're damned easy, you just quicksave before each one.

In Abe's Oddysee, well, it's tougher if you screw up but they're still not that hard to disable. Dut, dut, dut, deet. Dut, dut, dut, deet. Dut, dut, dut, TAP.

Cheater :p

Just use quicksave as it was disigned for.
Always use quicksave when you feel that you will die sooner or later.
