quit it guys, this whole discussion is pointless...
oh and sligco, please try to speak like a normal human being.

ok why am I not speaking like a normal human being just because I use chatspeak huh mutha ****as

Sligco, What about laying off! You'll only get your ass banned... I really hope so...

Anyways, Lorner is moving on into Movies, if I have understood the latest news well enough. But there will still be oddworld-games I think... Weren't there suposed to be some other guys making the games?

EDIT: My bad, Xavier.

As for games, do you thihnk Lorne will get something on the next generation of consoles, or will he be working too hard on movies? I really want another game.

This is probably why Lorne stopped making games, he saw that the deep and glorious storylines and references were being targetted at the audience symbolised by this person.

You earned yourself a warning...

O.O;..... Never talk back to an admin??

There is no "and co." - he fired everyone. Theres just him atop his mighty mountain of stupid.

I just hope Oddworld leans more to the odd and less to the realism we saw in Stranger's Wrath. What drew me into Oddworld was the originality and twisted art direction. It seems to me that the games are introducing too much that's already familiar to the human world and less ODD.

OWI needs more odd.

I do not agree... Sherry McKenna, is there too.
and I don't see what's stupid about having only a very few people in a company.

Depends entirely what kind of company you're trying to be. Lorne felt being a developer was sacrificing the creativity he could have realised, and seeing OWI primarily as a creative content company, decided the structure of OWI had to change dramatically, as in all in-house production was ceased, leaving just Lorne and Sherry.

Whether we think that was a good move or not is pretty irellevant. It's difficult to see how a team of people not ‘in tune’ with Oddworld's style and philosophy could produce the same quality of films and games as the OWI we were familiar with, but Lorne is a man of standards, as proven by his work with Ballistic Publishing, and I'm sure only companies he agreed wholeheartedly with would get the chance to apply their artists to the Oddworld franchise - no more ART CO. ;)

o sry u guise arent retarded ur nerds

And you're an idiot for taking this any further.

Xavier! Fresh meat!

Ouch. That hit home because it's so incredibly true. The pain makes me want to cry. It's unbearable... I... I don't know what to do with myself. I just DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! OH GOD!!!!!!!

Seriously, why must you be such a dick? Perpetuating an argument that was dropped long ago by making an inane post should not have been on your list of things-to-do. Tsk, tsk.

id stop if you'd answer my question why chatspeak isnt speaking like a human being

Do people normally speak like this?
"Rofl he tak funee nout liek me i smrat!!!!1111one"

No! People speak in normal sentences and use words that aren't shortened into acronyms!

Chatspeak is reserved for chats, whereas normal speak is appropriate for public forums such as this, where you have time to type slowly and thuroughly.

It's also a matter of respect. Other people try hard to make their posts readable, then some guy comes along and gobbs all over the keyboard and calls it a post and makes the rest of our efforts look futile.

Also, it makes you look STUPID. Chatspeak makes you look STUPID.
Ever read VG Cats? Chatspeakers in that comic always look like bottle-headed morons.

Dude, I commend your awesomeness...The amount of effort you put into posts like this just show how f*cking superior you are to twatheads like sligco...And I'm not being sarcastic...Not in the least...

ok ****heads tell me how nerds/preps like u are gunna change me huh and how the hell duz "Rofl he tak funee nout liek me i smrat!!!!1111one" fit whith chatspeak and guess wat most people chatspeak + i try not 2 use chat speak all the timew its my reflecses sence im used 2 using instant messangers like yahoo and msn and wat the hell is a twathead and why does it have my last name at the beggnining of it no never heard of vg cats and thanx alot 4 making me cuss alot im trying 2 stop

I'm not looking to be superior. I want him to type normally, because I know he can.

good cause no 1 here is more superior than anyone(there i caught me from chatspeaking) oh tentacle orgy quit being a prep i hate preps

It would be fantastic if someone could close this, because the discussion is pretty muhc overwith, and this thread isn't getting anywhere...

Because you don't use any punctuation and your spelling is a few levels below pathetic.

A lot of us don't use chatspeak. Just because people do doesn't mean you have to join in. Don't be a tool.

Again, this is NOT AN INSTANT MESSENGER. You have TIME to think about what you're going to say and how you'll say it.

Your last name is Twat? Nobody knew that, why does it sound like you're accusing us of something?

Cussing is your own fucking fault.

See? Right there, I swore. My fault.

No you didn't. You didn't capitolize the begginning of your sentence, you replaced "one" with "1," never capitolized the "I," and you forgot a period at the end of your sentence.

I give it an "F."

Well i have a temper and half the time i dont even see wat i put. TWA and sry for making it sound like i was acusing u guys i was just wonder what a coinceident that was .Well I almost did

Too.
Fucking.
BAD.

I have a firey temper and I still write like a normal person.

Yeah. Make more excuses, that's sure to solve the problem.

Yep too ****in bad because I never sayed it was my temper that makes me wright the way I wright

I see, you're right. You never mentioned anything about a temper.

No, not at all.

You're right about what?

no that was to tell you that normal people speak whith chatspeak

Something's wrong with your head if you can't form a sentence.

Oh you Wanna diss! Diss away tell how you realy feal about me ,wigga.

Nevermind, don't close this...It's too f*cking amusing...
