Actually I think it's because of sprout gas...

Sprout gas is green. Duh

WolfensteinOdess 04-06-2013 02:01 PM

We don't know

Nepsotic 04-06-2013 02:07 PM

Yes we do.

STM 04-06-2013 02:57 PM

Thank you, Nepsotic, for explaining the fucking joke.

WolfensteinOdess 04-06-2013 03:07 PM

We have the power

Nepsotic 04-06-2013 03:21 PM

I was afraid he wouldn't know

Phylum 04-06-2013 03:54 PM

If everyone knows about the threads people reference then there will be no elitism amongst the older members. Don't cramp our style, Nep.

Nate 04-06-2013 07:00 PM

That's enough, y'all.

Nate 04-18-2013 06:32 AM

I can't remember the last time I asked a question in this thread, but here goes. Is the following claim true, or just one of Wil's 'jokes'?

The AO whoopie cushions were recalled due to poor quality.


Bullet Magnet 04-18-2013 09:10 AM

It was printed in the art book.

The Mudokons were enslaved via trickery. You can read more about it here. They remained slaved in spite of their powers because, for the most part, they don't realise they're enslaved. Remember that Abe thought he had a good job before the start of AO. Most Mudokons don't know that it's possible for them to have a Native life outside of the factories.

This is interesting. If the muds don't know any better and think they have a decent life, why oh why would they choose to follow Abe and jump trough his bird portal? Even more so after the events at Rupture Farms and the Magog propaganda about Abe being a terrorist. If the muds really think they are doing a good job you'd think they would actually try to stop him from getting to his goals.

Read some North Korean defectors stories.

Or 1984.

Havoc 04-21-2013 10:07 AM

How about a quick summary?

Who wouldn't trust a first class floor-waxer?

Fred The Fuzzle 04-21-2013 07:16 PM

Aside from Mullock's trial and Abe meeting Sam, what was cut from Munch's Oddysee?

Havoc 04-21-2013 07:30 PM

I believe there was supposed to be more interaction with nature of some sort. They would visit Mudokon villages and there was supposed to much more interaction in and around factories. Look up Munch's Oddysee Beta footage on YouTube to get an idea.

Storywise there was brief talk of Munch being able to transform into some sort of huge monster and I recall something about visiting the ruins of Rupture Farms.

Jbot123 04-23-2013 12:29 PM

Another thing that was cut from the game was Molluck being put on trial by Queen Maggie for not taking good enough care of RuptureFarms and Soulstorm Brewery. There were different character classes such as overweight, underweight, and injured. There were a few scrapped creatures, such as MudFlubs, Sea Rexes, Meetles, Mugs, Chroniclers, and Skeeters.

Havoc 04-24-2013 12:30 PM

Aren't Meetles the large transport ships Lulu uses to get to Vykers Labs?

MeechMunchie 04-24-2013 01:03 PM

No. Meetles are massive beetles.

The clue's in the name. Industrially brutalise them and you get a Mug, the origin of Wil's former username.

Where did he get "Max the" from, then?

MeechMunchie 04-24-2013 01:09 PM

Max was the fifth Quintology hero. It's confirmed.

Varrok 04-24-2013 01:28 PM

MeechMunchie 04-24-2013 03:23 PM

He was the fourth.

Jbot123 04-24-2013 03:55 PM

Wil is the fourth and forgotten chipmunk, whose spotlight was stolen by Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. He has an empire of gingerbread people and is plotting to take over the world TL;DR: Wil is Wil's name

Bullet Magnet 04-24-2013 04:29 PM

Wil's not a chipmunk, he's a vegan.

Fred The Fuzzle 05-02-2013 11:02 PM

I was just looking at the recruitment page at JAW and noticed that they're primarily related to Unity 3D. Since when have JAW used Unity for anything?

Xavier 05-03-2013 12:25 AM

Well it's most likely for one of their upcoming projects. Any idea what Unity 3D is used for?

It's one of the more popular 'public' game engines.

Varrok 05-03-2013 01:49 AM

Didn't they switch the engine used in NnT to Unity?

Manco 05-03-2013 02:07 AM

Some of the devs have tweeted about using Unity, but I don’t recall an announcement saying they were dropping Bitsquid.

Nate 05-03-2013 02:11 AM

They might be working on multiple titles. And possibly not even Oddworld titles (based on the description of the Designer listing).

Jbot123 05-03-2013 04:05 AM

Non-Oddworld titles? THEY HAVE BETRAYED US.

xaiznox 05-09-2013 09:25 AM

Hey does anyone think the meeches was a scraped idea or was it just for show in AO

MeechMunchie 05-09-2013 10:49 AM

Meeches were originally going to appear in Abe's Oddysee. They got cut for various reasons, then added back in as an extinct species.

Connell 06-16-2013 09:02 AM

I've just noticed on my PS1 copy of Abe's Oddysee that the Monsaic Lines level is listed as 'Monaic Awakened' on my save. Is this unusual or is it the true name of the level, and I have never realised?

MeechMunchie 06-16-2013 09:37 AM

Hey, what does "Monsaic" mean? Could Lorne not spell "Monastic"?

Yes, it has always been Awakened, on mine at least.

Connell 06-17-2013 03:50 PM

Also, is there a working invincibility cheat that can be inputted on a controller for Oddysee on the PS1?

Nepsotic 06-17-2013 04:37 PM

No, it's in all the cheat guides but has never worked.
