Why do they glow? From the biological point of view. What's the purpose of this mechanism that does that?

So animals are more inclined to agitate them thus releasing their spores around the surrounding area and onto the animal.

Varrok 05-20-2014 02:32 PM

Do animals agitate things just because they glow?

STM 05-20-2014 02:58 PM

The luciferin attracts flies and such. You know how flies get attracted to street lamps and stuff, same principle. :)

Varrok 05-20-2014 03:10 PM

Are there flies in Oddworld Universe? (legit question)

Crashpunk 05-20-2014 04:10 PM

Yeah. The Fireflies. Or do you mean other types of flies?

You do know that glowing mushrooms exist on our planet too, right?

You can actually buy the spoors on Amazon and grow them for yourself! First thing I'm gonna do after I land in the US.

Everything on this page is a lie. They have a man come past and paint them in radium.

Sony's Press event is at 11am GMT on the 9th June so I'm sure Sony will announce something there!

Nepsotic 05-21-2014 03:08 AM

What do Sony know about mushrooms?

Pirfsich 05-21-2014 04:30 AM

Everything, Nep.

STM 05-21-2014 08:13 AM

Not e-fucking-nough, is what I'd say. I want to know the total number of in game mushrooms and what their every purpose is.

Scrabaniac 05-21-2014 08:29 AM

I don't know why, but i find that the mushrooms are very Avatar-esque, It's not a negative thing, just saying is all

It makes it easier to shoot RuptureFarms escapees. Their corpses provide nutrients for the fungus.

That second bit is brilliant; it should be canon.

MeechMunchie 05-21-2014 02:16 PM

The idea that Glukkon industry is so ancient that organisms have evolved to exploit it is pretty cool. It's peppered moths all over again.

Nepsotic 05-21-2014 02:21 PM

That brings back memories of old biology exams.

Slog Bait 05-21-2014 11:53 PM

Biology is so great

STM 05-22-2014 05:53 PM

Until it starts pumping out things like the helicoprion. Then you just have to wonder what the fuck it was thinking.

Samtastic 05-23-2014 02:47 AM

Right now I'm getting all excited about June 9th. As soon as launch day arrives, I'll be getting on my PS3, downloading Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty and doing a livestream no matter what connection I'm on. I live away from my BT Infinity but I hope it comes out after I left College so I can stream on my fiber optics!

Scrabaniac 05-23-2014 02:55 AM

I just hope it is released before i start University, I won't have much time to myself up there

JennyGenesis 05-23-2014 04:14 AM

Luckily for me, I have just finished university for good, and as soon as we get a confirmed release date, I shall be booking that day off work. I did the exact same thing for GTA V.

Samtastic 05-23-2014 04:37 AM

On the day it's out I'll be downloading it straight away and I'll be on twitch as soon as it's finished downloading. My twitch live stream will be a playthrough and after that I'll so a save all 99 on YouTube afterwards.

Nepsotic 05-23-2014 04:44 AM

Sad bastard.

Nate 05-23-2014 04:50 AM

Urgh. Grow up, Nep. Enjoy your infraction.

Yep, I was planning to do exactly the same thing :)

Scrabaniac 05-23-2014 05:52 AM

Was that really necessary of Nep? I'm not a youtube gamer but i would like to upload a walkthrough of NnT, even though i cringe to the sound of my own voice, don't have subscribers who are necessarily interested in gaming as i upload music i write and don't have great technology to record it.

Nepsotic 05-23-2014 06:26 AM

I was joking, if that hurt his feelings in any way that's his problem. For the record, you're all sad bastards, including me.

I shan't. Nate, isn't it against the rules to openly discuss infractions and bans? I think I deserve a prize for getting infracted for something so minor, it's an achievement.
