Hmm, new layout, not really and oddworld layout but i'm just happy there's a new site.

I cant wait! Hopefully the new website will be release this month!

Ahh I meant the layout but whatever.

That sneaky peak says that they want and are listening to fan feed back, yet Abe is giving us the finger???

It's not much, but at least we have something to see now...

The old site was better.

To be fair I agree but we haven't actually used this website yet so you never know.

What I mean is, in the old one you could at least click on the links.

Yeah, and scoll down, right?

Embarassingly I did actually try >.>

@Gilrod, I love it, it's nice and simple and best of all doesn't look cluttered :D

Not like my bedroom Gilly Golly

It still says "Oddworld Inhabitants" with the logo. Why? Aren't they just Oddmob now? But I'm liking it :D also, the fact that there's a lot of Abe pictures hopefully means that Abe will be involved in future games, eh?

OddMobb does a lot of non-Oddworld stuff. Presumably they're still using the Oddworld Inhabitants brand for their Oddworld stuff.

That's What I was hoping for, Thank for saying that.

As an FYI Oddworld Inhabitants are totally separate to OddMobb

A seed of clarity settles upon this forum, yet sprouts into the hairy fungus of confusion.


Say what?

I'm definitely confused as to why a fungus has grown from a seed.

So Oddworld Inhabitants and OddMobb must be separate, distinct, yet contemporaneous companies than just both happen to have Lorne and Sherry in them. Right?

"The spore of clarity" didn't have the right poetry about it (at least for the wider audience which my sentence will no doubt never reach, I myself have no problem with using spores and mould as happy similes), and the rather than the juxtaposition I desired for the metaphor, the outcome seemed a forgone conclusion.

Perhaps the seed was already infected. Or perhaps both the seed and fungus are not actually real.

Instead of a fungus, maybe it grows into like, a mushroom or something.

Tell me... tell me you're joking.

Alright, alright, so mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of a fungus.

Maybe the seed will grow into some kind of moss which spreads over the ruins of the forum? Or a fern. Ferns grow on ruins too.

while we're being random,
this is for Max :D :pipe::eeek:

XD

Neither mosses nor ferns reproduce via seeds.

We're not being random, that's spam, and I already know all the lyrics to that song anyway.

Well we do seem to be discussing the mycological and botanical merits of what was essentially poetic flippancy in a topic about a near-vapourware website.

Gosh, really? What a coincidence that I should pick those two plants! Ha ha ha!

You better start learning to google and wikkipikkie BEFORE posting.

If Oddmob are separate, then I don't think their name should have "Odd" in the title. It implies that everything Oddmob do will possess an Oddness that is unique only to the Oddworld games, which is of course impossible since nothing could compare to the Oddworld stuff. See what I mean? Or did that only make sense in my own little head?

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee was originally called "Soulstorm" before GT Interactive changed the name. I could be mistaken, but I think the company was called Oddworld before this, and Lorne had misgivings giving his company name to just one of their IPs.

If that is accurate information (I struggled to find anything that would verify or falsify my recollection), then the "Odd" in the name precedes the Oddworld games. The planet probably wasn't even called "Oddworld" before then (which if you think about it, is a weird name for one's native planet. It is as if some very self-aware social critics/satirists got to name the world before even "Ground" took off, like in most cultures.

That's because it's named after the deity that created the planet, Odd. You and I may interpret that as a synonym of 'peculiar', but remember this is a reality where 'Squeek' is a proper noun.

I believe "Squeek" as a word at all is peculiar to Oddworld.
