Stranger Christmas Card!
Yay! I got my Stranger card today! Thank you OWI!
Now...I'm not going to include a scan of the card. That wouldn't be fair, because I want the people across the country and overseas to be surprised when they get their card. The only reason I got my card early is because I live fairly close to OWI. I can tell you all one thing though...it's blue. Anyway, when we all get our cards we can...err, talk about it and be all happy. :happy: -oddguy |
Curse you oddguy!
Though I agree, I don't want it to be spoiled for me. Although, blue? Seem out of touch with the recent shades of yellow, brown, orange and red we've had going on with the Western themes. Still, I can't wait :D Alcar... |
can't wait too.. I guess I'll get it within a few days...
I'm so excited about it!!! Blue? well that's a change perhaps it's about the mongo river :p |
GOT IT :D
And I live in the Netherlands, so other closer country's should have it too. |
How do you get these cardys, I want one (or PM a scan of it to me :P )
|
i Have it also!!
Thanks OWI!! i realy like the image on the front |
don't have it yet... :( ah anyway I'm sure it will come
they can't forget ME :p |
Even my dad really liked the card, he loves the cowboy LOL.
|
How'd you guys get the ODI card?
|
A few years back you could register on the OWI website to be a part of the Rehab & Tea club.
I'm guessing now that the only way to get into it now is to email alf with your details (inc address of course) alf@oddworld.com |
I got mine today while I was at home sick. Very nice once more as always and a big round of applause for OWI. Especially being hand signed by good ol Alf himself. It's nice to be remembered when your having a really awful day and week.:fuzsmile:
And I thought the blue was a very nice touch this year it fits with the picture. |
Got mine Sunday, but I think it came on Saturday.
Really like the card, especially the stuff in the background, which gives the card a fitting mood. Also, I really like how OWI is devoted enough to do this every year. Don't know of any other game companies as devoted to their fans as OWI is. |

I also have received the card just now! It looks fantastic! This is the third Oddworld related item I've received in the mail in three days! Happy happy joy joy! Alcar... |
I got my card through today. Lovely picture on the front :) Thanks for leaving it as a surprise.
|
I got mine today too. I like it.
|
Wow, I've never got a card from a game company before, or even a company, sure I've got leflets and stuff, but a card is a nice personal touch. I just want to say a really big thank-you to everyone at Oddworld Inhabitants for taking the care to do this, especially since they are signed by what looks "Alf"! great stuff, love it.

My First Card
I got mine today, its the first OWI card I've got and its really cool. I love the pictures on the inside, and the way someones actually signed Alf by hand. Dedication, that.
|
I got my card. Heh, it made me laugh to see the ______ with the _______ ____. Oddworld Inhabitants is a fantastic company to love, because they love right back.
|
I got mine, its so nice:D
|
Were there any Christmas cards sent out before Christmas 2001? If so, what card was it?
|
SPONTAINEOUS EXPLOSION!!! *Boom*
Got mine yesterday!:cheer: My parents were lucky they weren't home to hear me squealing like a school girl...
I'm going to frame it like my last card! -:beer: |
I haven't got mine yet. But seeing you talking so positive about it amkes me even more impatient... I WANT MY CARD!!... umm... sorry... :p
|
Hmm haven't recieved mine yet but I think its because I moved and I have a change of address. I think I am going to let Alf know my new address so they can send the card to the new address.
Paramiteabe... :fuzblink: |

Still don't have mine... and I hope I receve it. I never card OW thing before (apart from the games)
|
it's a great gift :D cheers OW and thanks a butch!!!!
|
I got mine ages ago. Really pleased that it's actually signed, and not printed with a signature. Makes it worth much more when I eventually flog it for far more than it's worth on ebay.
|
I have it!!!
I love it!!! Thank you OWI it's absolutly superb!!! |
Esus, I believe there's been an Oddworld Holiday Card every year since December 1996, though obviously they weren't sent out to fans at that point, there being another nine months until Odd Friday at that point.
|
Mine arrived yesterday. Its great. I suppose that the blue colour is because they're trying to prove to us that the game is not exclusively a Western.
BTW I'm trying to remember, is this the first one that is not a poem? |
No, there have been previous Christmas Cards without a poem. Such as the 2001 Christmas Card. However, on the subject of this year's Christmas Card, while it might not be a poem, is it meant to be the lyrics to a tune we should all know? I've tried singing it to Jingle Bells (etc, etc) but it doesn't seem to fit.
Yet I still believe they are lyrics. Alcar... |
Yeah, the first line feels like it should be a poem or a song but the second line doesn't fit.
|
I think everybody has their cards, so you crazy kids can scan it now...if you like.
-oddguy |
YES! Finally!
Jesus Effin' Christ, I've waited for this. Scan away! |
Okay, not too large (I intentionally resized them), but here is a reasonably sized one - attached.

hey, that's interesting...tehere is two types of chippunks, outside of their upgraded versions...does that mean that there are slight variations in the proportions of each individual in a live ammo species? it would be pretty awkward, since from what we've seen they didnt do any sort of variation with the paesants, or the thugs...who would be more likely to have varied looks for each individual since they can chose their clothing thus their life experiences affects their look much more directly, whereas a wild species just has to stick to the skin they're born with.
it did bug me in the screenshots that there were about 5 paesants in them, and they all looked exactly the same, there wasnt even recoloring going on |
One is the chippunk and the other is the stunks. They do look similar though.
|
heh...I'm amazed how badly confused I got by just them being in B&W, but they do look a lot alike in that image, the only diff is proportions. I guess in higher res tho I would've seen chip's teeth
it gets you thinking though, the difference between them is actually really minor, even if you look at this badass hi-res pics http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/adventu...94.html?page=9 http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/adventu...94.html?page=3 they've got about as much to difference from eachother as one cat with another cat |

"It's beginning to look a lot like christmas, Everywhere you go..." I can't remember the rest of the words but maybe someone has read this and has just realised what tune it is and they might be able to help... ;) |
