This is going to be a problem due to internet caps. They have them in Canada and their comming into the US too.

This is going to hurt online buissnesses. So OWI will have to release copies on disks sold at retailers.

I'm not quite sure what you're referring to, but if you mean ISPs simply limiting your bandwidth, it shouldn't be a problem. In Australia we get 500GB of usage plus unlimited local and national calls (to landlines) for $109 a month. Considering Munch is approximately 1GB and Stranger about 2GB, downloading should not be too problematic.

Plus, many ISP offer peak and off-peak downloads. Back before I signed up for my current ridiculous download limit, I would just set up my computer to download games after midnight.


To address Spooce-aholic directly: Yes, capped plans are increasingly common in North America. On the other hand, they've always existed in the rest of the world and we've always gotten by. The fact is that as time goes on, internet is only going to get cheaper and cheaper as the technology improves. The retail game industry is dead, even if it doesn't realise it yet.

This questions is made me wondered all-time, but what would Slig really look? (without mechanic pant's or mask)

I'm wishy if there's some naturally original Slig's ^^ =)

Pants-less is not a mystery. And there is a maskless Big Bro concept in the Art Book.

Cool! =0
It was just mystery to me... =)

I found it in older thread/post... Thank you, bullet!

I still can't understand why Zulags 1 e 2's Mudokons aren't blind, tell me I am dumb but I can't!

Nate 07-11-2011 02:54 AM

Because it didn't fit in with how OWI structured the gameplay. They probably wanted to start with the easiest (or most familiar) puzzles and only lead to the more difficult ones later.

But I suspect that you want an in-universe explanation. I really don't think that any exists.

Exactly! Maybe Glukkons hadn't already used their blinding machine with those Mudokons! What's the english for its name? The italian name is Cuciocchi 2000 :)

STM 07-12-2011 09:13 AM

eye stitcher 2000?

abe is now! 07-12-2011 09:15 AM

Yeah that! LOL.

Why do slegs immediately die after biting stranger?

Wil 09-20-2011 04:42 AM

Do they die or do they just disappear? Maybe they get teleported back into the Sloghandler's bag.

Nate 09-20-2011 04:43 AM

And that's a more plausible in-world explanation how?

Wil 09-20-2011 05:34 AM

I didn't say it was.

STM 09-20-2011 09:32 AM

Isn't it just a crappy design floor of the game?

Bullet Magnet 09-20-2011 01:43 PM

The crappy design floor wasn't until later, when you exploited it to drown those outlaws in the sewage.

Scrabaniac 10-24-2011 05:18 AM

Will we ever see Molluck face his trial?

Bodd T.W. 10-25-2011 05:36 PM

I wonder, at the end of Stranger's Wrath, did all of the Clukkers die because of the massive flood that hit all of their cities? I know that one survived in the cutscene, but he seemed somewhat depressed from where he was.

abe is now! 10-26-2011 08:51 AM

I know this is not the right thread but watch this clip of an italian dance trio :)

Check the news... people actually die in floods, this ain't Disneyland.

I forgot who it was that conducted an interview with Lorne a few months back but we had to put forward loads of possible questions...do we/did we get to see the result of that at some point?

Nate 11-14-2011 02:58 AM

I'm typing it now. I'm afraid things have been hectic at work since I returned from the US, so it took me a while to get around to it.

I can't say with any precision when it will be done. The answer to the first question alone took up seven and a half pages of 11-point font, so you can see that I've got my work cut out for me.

STM 11-14-2011 06:10 AM

I see, good luck with that then Nate!

Wil 11-14-2011 08:34 AM

Having heard the audio, you're all in for some great stuff.

Nate 11-15-2011 01:39 AM

I'll edit out the part where we're talking about Max.

Wil 11-15-2011 01:55 AM

Why? Another part of your campaign of not publishing anything flattering about me?

Pretty much, yes.

Wil 11-15-2011 03:45 AM

I'll just type it up and publish it myself. Humility be damned.

Why would they be blind?

Wil 11-23-2011 03:18 AM

Because they're mining for the bones of their ancestors and if they knew that, they wouldn't do it.
