It appears fine on my browser, but anyway, forget it, I just think that maybe we're a little bit too obsessed. For example: (I know this has an actual answer but I'm just making a point) "How come Abe's blue and the others are green?". We'd say something long-winded about Mudokon classes, right? Well, the real answer, I think, is that the devs just wanted to make Abe distinguishable.

How to fuzzles jump without legs?

Yeah, the answer is simple: It's a game.

I think it's worth noting that we haven't had much new stuff to discuss in the longest time. Stupid, over-thought stuff is bound to come up.

Slamming their jaw down.

Nepsotic 12-30-2012 05:27 PM

ANd how do they digest stuff without stomachs? I really dislike the creature design in Munch's Oddysee. In the first two games the creatures were thought out really well, in MO they just fucked them up spectacularly. Fuzzles are a prime example of this. That's not the only thing fucked up about MO, either.

Phylum 12-30-2012 05:40 PM

Who says they have no stomachs? Have you ever seen a jellyfish? Do they look like they have stomachs?

Varrok 12-30-2012 05:48 PM

Nepsotic: Ignores a question, claiming that "it's a game", then asks similar question.

Nepsotic 12-30-2012 06:00 PM

I was developing my point, not really asking that question.

Scrabaniac 12-31-2012 02:35 AM

I agree with nepsotic in the fact that the creature design was lazy for MO compared to the first two games, except Vykkers, they were quite grim to an extent and would like to see more of them.

Varrok 12-31-2012 02:38 AM

I think the Gabbits design was ok. They were fish. Looked like fish. Had fish-eyes. Good times.

Vykkers are not-bad.

Manco 12-31-2012 05:17 AM

Interns were pretty great too, vertical mouths and all that.

Really it was just the Fuzzles that didn't gel.

STM 12-31-2012 05:26 AM

Fuzzles weren't that bad, they might have stomachs like sea urchins or something, I imagined them to have a slightly more developed interior but basically the same as a sea urchin does.

Bullet Magnet 12-31-2012 06:24 AM

Shoulda gone with rabid slurgs.

STM 12-31-2012 06:54 AM

Of course there would be minor differentiations, but this is my opinion. >_>

Wil 12-31-2012 08:07 AM

Funnily enough, the first ever picture I saw of a Fuzzle was this:



and I assumed they were spikey, hard-shelled creatures like sea urchins.

Vyrien 12-31-2012 08:13 AM

I'd be shitting bricks if I were that Fuzzle.

I always found the Stranger's Wrath Fuzzles more anatomically correct than the Munch's Oddysee ones (insofar as they could be), their eyes don't bulge out as much.

STM 12-31-2012 08:17 AM

Wil, do you know for what reason those cranial appendages were removed? Or what they were? =)

Wil 12-31-2012 08:48 AM

I don't know with any certainty, but I'd always assumed they were ears. If I had to guess, they were probably removed so they didn't have to be animated.

Scrabaniac 12-31-2012 09:51 AM

If vykkers werent so jokey, and used in the sense of abe's Oddysee, i would have been scared shitless of them!

Vyrien 12-31-2012 10:02 AM

I was anyway, the bad ending was pretty disturbing.

Having flashbacks to my studies. Whoaaa.

I thought you'd appreciate that. :D

That was the only thing remotely dark about MO, and it was fucking dark.

When the vyyker goes 'surpriiiissee!!' Aaghhegejtfoskwvrheoshdl

Jbot123 01-01-2013 01:35 PM

Maybe fuzzles have really tiny you-know-whats hidden under their fur, or they have very powerful stomach acid and dissolve food and absorb the nutrients. Just a theory.

Nepsotic 01-01-2013 01:48 PM

I don't know whats.

Varrok 01-01-2013 02:37 PM

Do you at least have it?

I'm guessing the massive mouth functions like a stomach and pre-digests food before it goes into the tiny intestines and eventually finds it's way to the poop-shoot.

You have a dirty mind.
