I never thought of that being outside, just a large space filled with smog and an eerie orange hue because of the smog and how deep the place actually is.

Why Oddworld is called Oddworld ?

Nepsotic 04-06-2013 02:58 AM

Because it's odd, perhaps? You don't have to be a fucking brain sergeon to figure that one out.

Scrabaniac 04-06-2013 04:39 AM

I want to kill myself -.-

Jbot123 04-06-2013 04:46 AM

So do I. You see, I've really- Oh wait, were you being sarcastic? Anyway, my question is Why is the smoke orange?

Varrok 04-06-2013 05:00 AM

Aesthetic purpose, every other answer would be a lie

STM 04-06-2013 05:05 AM

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

Manco 04-06-2013 05:10 AM

I don't think those areas were intended to be viewed as outside.

It could be possible, though - perhaps the orange lighting comes from a mix of the air above being so thick with smoke it blocks out the sky, and a strong unnatural light coming from deep below Abe's current level.

Even if that's not case, it sounds cool and might be a good idea to explore for NnT.

Because Offworld sounded a bit off...

WolfensteinOdess 04-06-2013 07:14 AM

Sprout gas is green. Duh

WolfensteinOdess 04-06-2013 01:01 PM

We don't know

Nepsotic 04-06-2013 01:07 PM

Yes we do.

STM 04-06-2013 01:57 PM

Thank you, Nepsotic, for explaining the fucking joke.

WolfensteinOdess 04-06-2013 02:07 PM

We have the power

Nepsotic 04-06-2013 02:21 PM

I was afraid he wouldn't know

Phylum 04-06-2013 02:54 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 06:00 PM

That's enough, y'all.

Nate 04-18-2013 05:32 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 08:10 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.

STM 04-21-2013 05:01 AM

Read some North Korean defectors stories.

Or 1984.

Havoc 04-21-2013 09:07 AM

How about a quick summary?

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

Fred The Fuzzle 04-21-2013 06:16 PM

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

Havoc 04-21-2013 06:30 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 11:29 AM

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 11:30 AM

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

MeechMunchie 04-24-2013 12:03 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.
