I think we all did ...

Who do you reckon would win a fight A pack of fuzzles or a pack of Paramites?

Gwan-Thwei 04-12-2011 04:06 PM

Hmm, that's a toughie. It would depend on the numbers of both fuzzles and paramites, and whether it was just the regular fuzzles, or the rabid fuzzles.
Either way it's be a good fight.

Kinto 04-13-2011 02:12 PM

it's been to long since i've checked this ... it went from scrabs vs paramites, to furry testicles with teeth

Gwan-Thwei 04-13-2011 02:32 PM

Yes. Threads about wildlife usually turn this way.
Dun worry. Threads have turned worse. this one's going pretty well.

Crashpunk 04-21-2011 02:08 PM

Meep Vs. Slurg.

Mr. Bungle 04-21-2011 04:00 PM

Elum vs. Scrab.

Elum wins against all.

Paramites are awesome no doubt, but they suck when it comes down to just being 1 Paramite. Then again even though they run away when their alone with another creature, if the creature gets closer, they own them.

WAT

On topic: The elum probably would have an advantage, because I saw them as more brawn than brains. It'd be a good fight, I'd pay to see it.

Sea Rex vs Snoozer. Whom would win?

Gwan-Thwei 05-01-2011 06:32 PM

SEA REX FTW!

Sleg vs Slog.

Ah, but you forgot one thing: Sea Rexes live in the sea.

True, but snoozers operate on land.
So, let's assume that they encountered one another on a cliff over the ocean or some such shit. In this case, the Sea Rex would rear up or leap, knock over the Snoozer into the water, where it would sink to the bottom and 'die'.

Hulaabeo 05-01-2011 06:47 PM

Feh. I'm out-witted yet again.

enchilado 05-01-2011 06:50 PM

Okay, how about this one? Glukkon vs Slurg.


:

Whom would win?

Try 'which'. Or I suppose 'who'. But definitely not 'whom'.

Gwan-Thwei 05-01-2011 06:52 PM

Glukkon. Slurgs are probably a delicacy of some sort.
On the other hand, Slurgs are usually around fleeches, who could easily dismember the glukkon. Hm, I dunno about that one.

Wil 05-02-2011 07:19 AM

This seems like the right place to put this.









Gwan-Thwei 05-02-2011 05:52 PM

Yes, it is, though why you would post it I have no idea.

Meech vs paramite?

Hulaabeo 05-02-2011 06:26 PM

Paramite, they have more useable limbs than meeche's do.

Gwan-Thwei 05-03-2011 04:33 PM

True, true, and the mandibles would be a plus. As would the spider's silk.

I was wanting one of us lot to ask Lorne that question :tard:

Wil 05-04-2011 07:12 AM

Next time I bump into him, I'll ask.

Crashpunk 05-04-2011 08:24 AM

If I ever bump into him, i'll be too starstruck to talk.

...Then again I was starstruck by you, i'm easliy starstruck by not even 'famous' people :tard:

Would you be starstruck to meet Abe? (Of course hes only a fictional character, but saying if he was real somehow.)

Haha. Me first. :p

Lord Stanley 05-09-2011 10:13 AM

Um...no comment, Nate or Max. In relation to the thread's question...Paramites. You can actually make pals with them and use them as your fleech-exterminating slave in AE.

"Exterminate! Exterminate!"

BigBroSlig3097 06-11-2011 10:56 PM

paramites dude

MarsMudoken 06-11-2011 10:58 PM

I call Scrabs. Sure, paramites are friendlier, but Scrabs can dance. I have yet to see a paramite do that. All they did was chase me...

oocladableeblah 07-03-2011 03:04 PM

I like Paramites. They just feel more alive in game, and just feel more like an actual living creature, they are also more unpredictable.

Flynx 07-03-2011 07:36 PM

Paramites own everything! Paramites FTW! Shall we make a poll?

there already was one, at some point. I think scrabs won.

Fix'd.

Fixed.



EDIT: Oh shit this is OD. I like paramites because they have a much more muscular, and realistic body shape. A opposed to those fugly scrabs with their lanky bodily extensions.

Gwan-Thwei 07-04-2011 08:50 AM

Scrabs are a bit unrealistic. Why have the pectorals and abs if they're not going to have arms?
But then again, Paramites aren't the most realistic either.

enchilado 07-04-2011 01:42 PM

I know right? Oddworld creatures are the most unrealistic things ever. You'd think Lorne had never seen an animal before, I mean, what was he thinking? Didn't he know what spiders and crabs looked like? I mean, seriously. That guy was dumb. He even got their names wrong.

Flynx 07-04-2011 03:39 PM

They sure do taste good though!

LOL Okay, I'll give you that.

moxco 07-05-2011 07:36 PM

Okay ench, by realistic I meant biologically feasible.

Oddey 07-06-2011 01:08 AM

They're all biologically feasible enough to me. Though, that's probably a completely ridiculous opinion, coming from a guy who knows nothing of what is biologically feasible.

Regardless, I believe paramites to be the cooler of the bunch. Probably for their behaviour, and the noises they make. Scrabs on the other hand are just imposing and threatening.

Likewise, I prefer Paramonia to Scrabania. For the forests. When I was younger it was also because my uncle, the guy who bought the game for me, is named Per, which sounds remarkably like Paramonia.

Gwan-Thwei 07-07-2011 03:09 PM

One thing that bothered me about paramites was the big web-spinning orifice on their asses. Couldn't they have been a little more discreet? Here's a pic: http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...=CAAO0141.jpg4

So yeah. The one thing I don't like about them.

enchilado 07-07-2011 03:17 PM

They would have been more realistic without them, wouldn't they?
