-oddguy |

|
yay, such fun!
|
can somebody send me the whole chat, please.
i was too late... :fuzsad: .:VaniLLaKiLLah:. |
I missed out aswell :fuzsad:
|
Don't worry DeBulletDodger, i think we might see then another time today, they said 9pm, but i think thats in America.
|
I always get confused is America 6 hours infront or behind England.
|
I think it's before, it must mean that it's 3pm there, and it's 9pm in Englant now. Some poeple such as myself wont be able to chat with them, but oddguy will give the transcipt ;)
|
Ok then
Suits me fine I just want to know what is said. |
I typed out a general transcript of the chat. I edited out stuff that was irrelevant to the discussion. Enjoy! :D

Oddish> the second fan of the month Alfs_Assistant> ah yes...i read her report. Alfs_Assistant> now i know who you are talking about. oddguy> I just thought she might of stopped by since she was in Cali. Alfs_Assistant> well e3 (LA) is quite a long way off. over 200 miles. oddguy> Yeah, but it's a lot closer than where she normally lives. Australia. Alfs_Assistant> that's a good point! Alfs_Assistant> huh... Alfs_Assistant> i wonder why she didn't ask to stop by this trip? oddguy> Maybe she didn't want to impose since you guys are working hard on Stranger. oddguy> ;) Alfs_Assistant> that's probably it. she's soooo considerate in that way. Alfs_Assistant> Alf should be signing in... oddguy> Alf! Howdy! alf> howdy do! alf> AA, are you causing trouble? oddguy> Yes. oddguy> He burned my village. alf> AA!

Alfs_Assistant> Only booth I was interested in was Big Cheese. Sapph> Really though, any specific reason that Oddworld Inhabitants as a presence wasn't at E3? alf> E3 isn't the only place to announce, probably the most popular, but it can be done in other ways. oddguy> So, you guys are planning to announce somewhere else? alf> It's up to the publisher when/where. oddguy> So, you guys have a publisher? oddguy> Or not yet? alf> No news on that yet, sorry! buckminster> and of rumors about more than just an xbox release? alf> Rumors, rumors, rumors!!!!Arrrrrrg! I will file that in my rumor folder. alf> What mag?

Alfs_Assistant> anymore questions? oddguy> How's the Live-Ammo? Abe_Babe> The live ammo factor was really unique... I like that idea. ;) Oddish> do you like the game? Abe_Babe> I loved it. ;) Esus> was it fun? Abe_Babe> Awesome!!! There were funny parts too. Oddworld kept their humor there too. Abe_Babe> I really think that this game will appeal more to the general gamer...although it still keeps the same Oddworld thing about it..it just seems to me that lots of people will like. Sapph> So is it pretty much a FPS? Alfs_Assistant> No Sapph... Alfs_Assistant> the term FPS doesn't appear in the game. oddguy> Good. alf> I'm thirsty. oddguy> How is the music and sound, Abe Babe? Abe_Babe> I loved the music...it really seemed to fit with the areas that it was played in, as I'm a fan of game music...I really liked it. Esus> how big was the environement/place you saw/played in? Abe_Babe> Huge!!! They seemed to go for miles. oddguy> How has OWI HQ changed since your last visit? Abe_Babe> It hasn't really...just some new posters and statues around! ;) oddguy> Did OW4 meet your expectations, or exceed them? Abe_Babe> I'd probably say exceed so far!!! Alfs_Assistant> as she sits right next to two muds... Alfs_Assistant> hehehe * Abe_Babe gives alf a brew alf> Mmmmmm...thanks. Alfs_Assistant> ok we need to go... Alfs_Assistant> Abe Babe will have the game controls in her hand after lunch... then try to make another oddchat later today. Abe_babe> See you guys! |
Cheers oddguy! The game is looking good. Can't wait until i get my hands on it.
|
That is so class. Does that mean abe_babe will be on another oddchat later or was that later earlier.
|
She's supposed to be on later.
Oh, and I typed up the transcript to the best of my ability. if you guys see any errors, it's because I'm retarded! :D -oddguy |
:fuzgrin:
Thanks for posting that man. |
thank you, oddguy, for posting that!!
you're the greatest! ;) .:VaniLLaKiLLah:. |
That sounds awesome! Thanx oddguy for writing a transcript and asking really good Q's!
I hope Abe Babe Is able to get on Odd Chat Soon! I'm waiting for her there! |
:
oh, and how do I get on OddChat? |
Scroll up to the top of the page where is says "Oddworld Forums." Above that are yellow links to OW related websites, it's the one that says "Oddchat"
|
Dammit, I missed it. As would be the case with every other Aussie. I should have stayed home like Nathan, and bludged :p But, it was a very sudden thing, so that's probably why there weren't that many peope in there.
Alcar... |
So the second should be on soon? Or did I miss both of them?
|
gee, I missed it :crying:
well thanx anyway for the transcripts an other time Abe Babe is able to see and touch the game before the rest of the fan comunity, I'm sooooooooooooo jealous... :p let the infos roll in! |
Though I say Abe Babe was bonded to an agreement like last time, so we shouldn't impose her to answer anything. I think it's great that they even had an OddChat, and Abe Babe attended :D
Ta oddguy for the transcript, I'll give you credit. Would it be possible to attain the whole transcript from you? I take it you were hopefully using mIRC, if not, if anyone did use mIRC (or a similar IRC non-browser client) could you send me the log file? PM preferably :) Alcar... |
:
-oddguy :eek: |
I'm sure you missed out some questions, your transcript seems so short :s Oh well, must've been more non related stuff than I thought.
|
I had work so I saddly missed it aswell, but Im glad at least one of us fans has finally gotten to see what this new game is like; and so far it sounds awesome. :fuzsmile:
|
Hi, I'm back.
Wow. I can't believe this! I don't think I've ever felt so jealous in my life. ;) Thanks a million times over for the transcript, Oddguy. I hope Abe Babe comes back and spills, though I don't see her doing that too often. I do. |
This is awesome and its getting better every moment I can't wait you heard it now we don't have to speculate now because this OW game is going to be soo amazeing! Thankyou Abe Babe you are the best and thanks Oddguy for posting the discussion. I am soo glad this game is secret I don't want to know anymore until release. I am drooling thinking about this I can't stand it anymore.

Thankyou oddguy, none-the-less :fuzzle: It was good to see both Alf and Alf's Assistant in the same chat, not to mention their antics.
It'd be good if next time we had more warning though :p Alcar... |
I wonder when they will come again on the chat, they hinted they may come back to give some more info :D
|
Maybe I hope so because I am soo jealous of Abe Babe right now that its driveing me crazy hehe. Oh the idea that the levels of the game seem to go on for miles is really exciteing and the whole idea of getting lost sounds rather intresting. There can be tons of hidden secrets. Its definetly sounds like the Oddworld we once knew makeing an awesome come back.
|
hopefully we will get some more news from them soon...
I'm dying to have some more infos, I can feel the tide is rising, the big wave is coming soon |
:
What? :confused: Who? :confused: How? :confused: What? :confused: I didn't stay home and bludge. I was at work bludging (yay for being a computer nerd, everything looks like work). And how do you know my name? :fuzconf: Or is there another Nathan lurking about that I didn't know about? :fuzconf: |

I like how OWI isn't using the term FPS in their game at all. When I first saw X-Factor, I was worried that OWI was trying to change their world to make the game more popular. I'm soo glad that's not the case. I do know that reviewers will coin the gun elements in Stranger as FPS, which is good in a way because the public is looking for a creative FPS system. Live Ammo should do the trick.
Anyway, I can't wait for Abe Babe to get back. I'm starving for more info! http://69.93.88.162/forum/images/smiles/hungry.gif -oddguy |
whatever happened to the second chat? Did it happen? Can someone please post it here?
