Oh my God......it's Santa!

You live in shefield too? Awesome...

On another topic related note...Slig Barracks Does Note Float As I said before hand, it is built upon up and up and up now the top floor is on flimsy stilts (undermining your statement earlier MA, it moves in the wind, supposedly) copper piping and a lot of joints. That picture you see with the "wings" well there not wings, they are simply pieces that keep the whole structure generally sturdy since an object will find it hard to stand upright at 1000 metres and will physically crush itself down at 2000 metres, so long as it is made of conventional resources - in this instance copper.

It's not built on stilts either. :rolleyes:

AlexFili 12-07-2009 09:42 AM

Slig Barracks can't be the only training place for Sligs either. By the way, Slig Barracks really didn't make the Sligs better at all (ironic eh?). The best Sligs I've seen so far are the ones in the fire-free zone in Abe's Oddysee.

STM 12-07-2009 09:48 AM

I no its not the only place where sligs are trained and origionally the first level of slig barracks, how can you know? The top levels certainly are

I didn't catch that.

STM 12-07-2009 10:02 AM

pardon? I don't understand

used:) 12-07-2009 10:20 AM

I guess that makes two of us.

Grieva 12-07-2009 10:24 AM

I think Scrabtrapman was saying you cant know what the first level of the slig barracks is like, and whether its built on stilts, but the upper levels certainly are raised on the pipes

Josh 12-07-2009 10:29 AM

Unless one of us hunts down Lorne and asks him, we shall never truly know.

STM 12-07-2009 10:34 AM

I volunteer to hunt down err err you weren't serious?

(But yes, as Rupture Farms was, in fact, Rupture Farms 1029 - and SoulStorm Brewery 400 and something - it probably isn't the only Slig Barracks)
What? you think theres more then one Rupture Farms And SoulStorm Brewery?
If thats true, why is the Magog Catal really effected by Abe then. He destroyed ONE Rupture Farm and 1 Brewery, Can't they just make any more of the products.

Personally I think theres was only one Rupture Farm And one SoulStorm Brewery. it makes more sense.

Molluck was the CEO of RuptureFarms 1029 and SoulStorm Brewery 401.
From the OE.

I always thought those were like addresses or register numbers or something, not like there's 1029 RuptureFarms and 401 Breweries.

STM 12-07-2009 11:30 AM

all sounds acceptable

Grieva 12-07-2009 11:56 AM

they do continue making the products after the factorys are shut down, Blitzpackers shoot soulstorm brew and theres a small brewery in MO I think

Abe also says "you know whats in a mudokon pop?" to munch, implying they still eventually got produced

but yeah i think the numbers are just numbers and dont mean theres that many of the factories

used:) 12-07-2009 12:38 PM

Yeah, there are micro breweries, but there was also a huge stockpile left over after the destruction of the main brewery. That line doesn't necessarily mean they were ever produced on a mass scale. Sounds to me like they just used the wrong grammatical mood for effect (Abe ain't the sharpest tool in the shed (cue Smash Mouth/Oddworld amv)).

Crashpunk 12-07-2009 02:04 PM

Ahh i see. Do you reckon theres more then one Bonewerkz?

Personally i think there isn't. i reckon Bonewerkz was big enough to supply brew from bones from lots of different Breweries

don't know if i understood that statement correctly, but if i have; where in this whole thread did i ever mention that SB 'moves in the wind', or whatever it is you mean? i've been saying its very static from the start. Max is the one who was winding you and everyone else up about it floating/gliding/moving in the wind/farting to Jupiter.

enchilado 12-07-2009 02:54 PM

Farting to Jupiter...?

...I knew that. I did, I knew that.

Wil 12-07-2009 04:08 PM

Slig Barracks is actually built on a rig in the middle of the ocean.

enchilado 12-07-2009 04:10 PM

Oh, you!

All of Oddworld is really just social commentary for the effects of Pearl Harbor on the US.

enchilado 12-07-2009 04:17 PM

You mean the special effects used for Pearl Harbour.

From Dear Alf:
:

Q: Abe blew up SoulStorm Brewery, right? Why is it that those cannon-toting vending machines fire SoulStorm Brew then? Is there more than one brewery?

Alf: You think if we blew up one brewery on your planet that beer would cease to exist? Here on Oddworld, there's a simple rule... if it turns a profit, you can bet yer ponytail there'll be more'n one of 'em...
My assumption is that whilst Rupturefarms 1029 and Soulstorm Brewery 401 are not the only ones of their kind, they are the biggest and more profitable. After all, Rupturefarms is described as "the biggest meat processing plant on Oddworld".

enchilado 12-07-2009 04:31 PM

"They say it's the biggest meat-processing plant on Oddworld."

Huh, Abe says that. That's just what the little Mudokon workers say.

used:) 12-07-2009 04:33 PM

Yeah, his opening line sounds like it implies there's more han one meat plant, but under the same brand name?

enchilado 12-07-2009 04:38 PM

What I meant was, the Mudokons say it's the biggest, but what would they know?

Taco 12-07-2009 04:39 PM

Well if it's Rupture Farms 1029, it's logical to assume that there's a lot of other Rupture Farms's on Oddworld. I mean, AO, AE and MO all happen in a small part of Mudos which is only 1 continent (or land mass) on Oddworld. So there's a lot of space to fit more Rupture Farms

Overhearing Sligs/Glukkons. They would probably know more of the outside world than Muds.
