Brother as in children of the same parent.

M.O.M 10-26-2002 04:11 PM

oh that kind!

Xavier 10-26-2002 06:55 PM

max I'm sure I saw that sentence before...
nate didn't made it up.

Wil 10-26-2002 08:05 PM

I never said he did. But he can't provide a source.

Which is quite hypocritical of me, cause neither can I. :fuzsad:

I'm still keeping an eye out for anything, though.

Jacob 10-26-2002 09:38 PM

I think they're just friends, really. It wouldn't be right for them to be brothers, i have no idea why...it just wouldn't.

M.O.M 10-27-2002 06:01 AM

There Really Cose Friends if their not brothers!:fuzzle:

I just found the quote. I did a google search and it came up with one of alf's previous pages: ow_dearalf16.html but for some reason I can't access oddworld.com at the moment. My university server must be stuffing up:fuzmad: . However the following is the full transcript that I got from the Google cached version of the page:

Q: I've seen a picture of these two hideous old looking Vykkers, (Not like they are all not hideous) but they are friggin' ugly. They also always stand by facing their backs facing each other. They're purple. They seem to be like the head Vykkers. Anyway, I would just like to know what their names are.

Alf: Their names are Humphrey (The scientist) and Irwin, his ...friend. If they have friends. These guys are so ugly, they could scare the pants off of a Slig. I personally like it when they face away from me, because then I don't have to see their ugly mugs. Bleagh.

his ...friend
Thats the sort of think you do when your hinting at something...the ' ...' bit.

M.O.M 10-28-2002 03:27 PM

Hints are in nearly all the posts in this topic

Nate 10-28-2002 09:04 PM

Ok, I just worked it out. The quote was from the February 2002 edition of Dear Alf:

I don't know why I couldn't access it yesterday.:fuzconf:

Xavier 10-30-2002 05:47 PM

yes, I knew It was "official"!
good job to find it back Nate_dog_woof!

M.O.M 10-30-2002 07:11 PM

thats a great quote

I also seem to remember reading that they were brothers...it would explain the petty squabbles, and competitive attitudes towards eachother.

I think vykkers will make a come back in the next game....just because vykkers labs went down in flames, doesn't mean the entire population is gone....and with that sonar on munch's head, he'd be easy to track, and re capture for Maggie.

I'm sure vykkers are not just scientists...I mean, there was an auctioneer....it wouldn't surprise me if there were many other positions occupied by vykkers....you never know, I guess...

M.O.M 10-31-2002 05:30 AM

Thats a good Point....wonder what other jobs they might hav?

Jacob 10-31-2002 10:45 AM

They have a food department, thats were the Gabbiar was from...The auctioneer mentions it, Vykkers food something-something. I cant be arsed to get the name...

M.O.M 10-31-2002 02:20 PM

do you know any others

Xavier 10-31-2002 02:33 PM

M.O.M 10-31-2002 02:49 PM

Xavier 10-31-2002 02:53 PM

no, gluck make heavy machinery like BallCars or FeeCo. Trains
the subtile work is for vykkers

hey post number 6000 :D

M.O.M 10-31-2002 03:02 PM

oh...The vykkers are money hungry(everyone knows that) ugly(everyone knows that as well) but they can be quite skilled!

Xavier 10-31-2002 03:10 PM

wrong... vykkers are not especially moolah hungry.
they like science and sadism, that's why they need moolah.

M.O.M 10-31-2002 03:29 PM

Q: Heya Alf, I luv Oddworld! I'm obsessed by anything ODD! I'm thinkin of getting an Odd tattoo on my back. My wife and kids say I'll regret it but I love Oddworld so much. Anything else I can do besides a Tattoo? In Odd We Trust ... forever yours, Warren.

Alf: No way Warren, this idea is way out there. You should not even consider this for another moment. You see, getting a tattoo is a big step and will last forever. So why would you want one on your back? It totally has to be on your belly, so that you can look down and see it anytime ya want!

Its scary, cos this guy...'Warren' *Coughs-Munch Man Abe-Coughs* will most likely do such a thing...See, he has a wife and kids and look what Lorne has done. Him and his OW cult...
