I know that bit, agreed. Good film to!

Dynamithix 08-17-2010 02:04 AM

Ok, so here's the thing. I just started in a new school and we got some of our schoolbooks already and I noticed a cool thing when I checked them. Look at this:

(I wont start translating them right now but it's a Finnish article of Stranger's Wrath. In a schoolbook. ...I know. Wut.)

Wil 08-17-2010 02:12 AM

What the hell is the subject? Because I once found Hand of Odd in my geology textbook.

I'm actually not sure how I'd translate it but for you, it's English. So basically it's writing, words and stuff. Y'know?

We need evidence!

GABBITS OWN 08-17-2010 02:47 AM

Ill try get it back, It was last year text book, if I find it, I will get the "evidence"...

Dynamithix 08-17-2010 03:06 AM

In Call of Duty: World at War's Zombie map 'Shi No Numa', you can hear the same bird sound from Oddworld games. (Or at least a very similar sound.)

At around 0:35.

GABBITS OWN 08-17-2010 03:13 AM

This is F**ked up, When I first watched it, I was like bullshit, then, Wait it is...

Crashpunk 08-18-2010 12:35 AM

Okay. I know I started the whole finding oddworld sounds in other stuff but that really isn't oddworld spotting.

they got the same sound of the same CD which Nate pointed out in a post.

Wil 08-18-2010 01:38 AM

So? Just because we have an explanation, doesn't mean it isn't interesting noticing noises we all strongly associate with Oddworld in other things. Better than noticing vague character similarities.

STM 08-18-2010 11:08 AM

I've heard that sound too on a ton of things. Isn't it cool. That's the sound on the new Predators film

I suppose. I have to admit that it is quite fun to spot.

I am always watching for oddworld things at school and the beach and other locations.

Wil 08-19-2010 02:48 AM

I once saw a Scrab at the beach.

GABBITS OWN 08-19-2010 02:49 AM

I once saw a paramite under my bed.

MeechMunchie 08-19-2010 03:09 AM

I once saw a Bird out of my window.

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 08-19-2010 11:47 AM

i can feel a boa constrictor around my ne.. wait... oh shit

Havoc 08-28-2010 06:14 AM

I didn't think this deserves it's own topic, so;

Has anyone ever noticed there's a continuity flaw at the end of AO? When Abe finally shuts down the factory Mullock orders the slig to kill everyone in the plant with the gas. Then the final part of the game begins which lasts for what, 2 minutes? Eventually Abe falls into the boardroom where all the executives are on there pedestals ordering to kill him before he goes Shrykull. But... Molluck and the slig were in that very same boardroom a few minutes ago when the timer started, without the executives. Where did those Glukkons come from so quick?

Dynamithix 08-28-2010 09:03 AM

Yeah, that bothered me too...

...or did it?

Yes it did.

Crashpunk 08-29-2010 01:20 AM

They must of all moved in to the boardroom whilst panicking all in the space of 2 minutes.

or something like that.

Havoc 09-04-2010 06:15 PM

Was just watching the first episode of Season 7 Mythbusters and heard the flashback music in AO's intro. I'm starting to wonder how much of Oddworld's music is actually written for the games? O_o

Bullet Magnet 09-04-2010 06:34 PM

I heard Halo music on Top Gear. These tracks get around.

Well Michael Bross did both MO and SW scores, but as for the first two, its beginning to make me wonder as well.

Does anyone have the SW score actually? I'm quite tempted to purchase it on my 3rd playthrough now. Such a good score.

Jordan 09-05-2010 03:16 PM

I got the first volume of the SW soundtrack for Christmas. Say, when's the second one coming out anyway?

Yeah I bought it a while back. It's pretty good.

Oh, its just the first volume? Interesting.

But he never released anything for MO?

Nate 09-05-2010 07:54 PM

There were only a few musical tracks in MO and they are all available for download from the OWI website.

There are two versions of the score, be careful witch one you buy.

http://bross.com/releases/rec_oswvol1.html
http://keepmovingrecords.com/eng/disc/28/

The second one has better content as all the songs have additional comments in the booklet. Plus it's limited to 500 copies. :D

So the one on Bross' actual website isn't the more expanded upon release? I'd've thought it would've been. I'll know where to go now though. ;)

Edit: Okay, so the limited edition comes to about £10 with shipping, and the standard release from Bross comes to £20. I feel like something's.. wrong. Am I doing the internet right?!

I've always heard the squarky croaking bird that's heard an awful lot on Oddworld. I'll often hear it when I'm watching a TV show set in the jungle or something, and I think I've heard it once when I was in a zoo somewhere. It bugs the hell out of me, particularly because I was under the impression it was unique to Oddworld.

Wait, Its not oddworld exclusive?

SHIT, FUCK. FUCK, SHIT.
GAHHH!!!!!!

enchilado 09-07-2010 07:03 PM

Whenever I spot something from Oddworld, I take its number. They're on the side of the engine, above the piston box.

Birds around my house sound like the droids from KOTOR.

Why did I bother?

Because he's explaining his previous post. Try to keep up, dear.
