Who knows what the glukkons' customers' idea of appetizing is?

That doesn't sound like it's true, but considering how strange Oddworld's Inhabitants are, i believe it.

I think they should burst into spores like puffball fungi.

Endangered.

I figured fuzzles might breed in a similar fashion to sea urchins. Just that their sperm is carried through the air like spores rather than by sea currents. :D

The closer to extinction, the more of a delicacy!

"Rare" is just another word for "Exclusive"!

Or their fur blows off like dandelions!

Fuck yes.

In New 'N' Tasty. If I go back to a chapter to save more Mudokons and then go to a later chapter, would the Mudokons I'd just save carry over? (Eg, I went back to Free Fire Zone because I missed a secret and then went to Scrabania Temple.)

Because when I look at each Chapter, it has a percentage of how many I've saved.

I think that's how it works. And also there's a completion time at every chapter, right? So to get the speedrun achievement, you don't have to do it in 1 run, you can master every chapter and get a good time, isn't that right? I am not sure if the achievement said "in 1 run" or not..

Apologies if this has already been asked, but my searches are returning nothing.

In Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus, what do the 'P' and 'C' stand for in relation to the screen numbers/identifiers? Say, 'F1P01C01', or 'MIP07C11'. I understand that the former is a reference to "Forest" aka Paramonia, and the latter is "Mines" aka Necrum Mines. P and C however... don't make sense. Section? Area? Region? Screen?

Do they actually map to words beginning with their initial letter?

Alcar...

Based on engine lingo that was revealed when Paul was working his magic way back when:

Feeco 1 Path 1 Cam 1
Mines 1 Path 7 Cam 11

Cams are literally the camera points, and all have an associated background. A collection of cams is a path. Paths are linked by special doors, and are sorted into bigger areas like the Mines.

Cheers. That's something that has always nagged at me every time I sit down to replay AO or AE (just finished AO again for the gazillionth time, and have started on AE). I have no life...

Alcar...

Sounds like a good enough life to me.

Here's a question. Where does the final bird portal in SoulStorm Brewery bring Abe? Which place is that? Is that Necrum?

I'm with Nate on this one, and as for the air guitar, I think it's just a joke about the Slig only just realising that he's on air and he's busy messing about with his microphone. Much like Aslik when he shouts "Those stinking slaves!"

Nothing wrong with that. I'm currently in the middle of an AO %100 run, and these checkpoints are ruthless...

That part in the very beginning with the toggle mine, the three regular mines and the Sligs in the background. I fucked that up like 10 times in a row and had to go back and save the Muds in the secret area every single time...

I love you Abe's Oddysee. I hate you, Abe's Oddysee.

I think it's the same place at the end of Oddysee. Which is I think Mosaic Lines. *Citation needed*

Okay, here's one I've been wondering about for 17 years:

What's up with thay nose-like thing that appears on Abe's face during the AO Shrykull scene?
I'll add a screen of what I'm talking about when I can get to a PC.

HOMINIX, EXACTLYYYYYYYY! Sorry for this freak-out, but I am happy I am not the only one. We have a lot of things in common actually from what I saw in our previous discussions.
Here's the screen: http://puu.sh/aByh2/3c388efe2b.jpg

Yes, that's it! I was surprised to see it didn't make an appearance in NnT

That's just some light trick...

No seriously are you really thinking there's actually relevant going on there?

That cutscene always bothered me. Abe suddenly appeared in the Free Fire Zone with the Shrykull power. But then afterwards, he was back in Mosaic Lines and had to travel back to the Free Fire Zone.

The New 'N' Tasty scenes makes so much more sense.

Do we know he's actually in the Free Fire Zone? It could be that for some reason he's on the top of the Monsaic Temple, and it's already dark outside.

But yeah, I agree the scene in NnT makes way more sense.

The Scrab conveyor belt cutscene is also much better than the one in AO, methinks.

Nostalgia tells me it's lacking Abe getting saved by a mix of his clumsiness and fate.

C'mon, Xavier, nostalgic about an Oddworld game? Peh!

Ah well, I think falling down that cliff is sufficient clumsiness and fate for me!

Perhaps. But to me it looks a lot like Free Fire Zone. Not just because it's night, The sky looks pretty much identical to the Abe's Moon scene.

How much do you think the sky varies across a distance of 50 or 100 miles? The events in AO occur in a very small region of Mudos.

Not anything important, but is it really out of the question to think that he may have actually gained a little new facial feature after being given the power to shapeshift into a fucking demi god? :laugh:

Really a remake of that exact scene in New n Tasty would've contained the only possible new insight into that small detail, that's the reason I brought it up being in the remake.

E: You guys also realize that the entrance to the Monsaic Lines is only a few hundred feet away from where the free fire zone ends, right? I still agree it doesn't make too mcuh sense that he's suddenly outside, then back into the temple, then right back outside, especially when that specific Shrykull use was to get past enemies and bombs blocking your bird portal exit from the temple to the free fire zone.

Can anyone post a screenshot of Monsaic Lines' landscape where I can see a Meech or something of Meeches?
