lorne lanning
 
dose anyone think that lorne looks or has looked at this forum or possibly be one of the members.

E'l Scrabino 07-06-2006 02:19 AM

I'd doubt it... Very highly.

Xavier 07-06-2006 03:58 AM

I doubt he is one of the members.
but when Alf and his assistant were here I guess they made some reports to him
now that they are on vacation I guess he has to come himself to see sometimes or he has someone else to do it. ;)

paramiteabe 07-06-2006 04:13 AM

I always had this funny idea that Lorne was Alf but I don't think so. But I wouldn't rule out the idea of Lorne visiting this site. Why not he knows Abe Babe personally. Heck he gave her personal tours of OWI in the past. The likely hood is very good.

Paramiteabe...:fuzblink:

Soul-Storm 07-06-2006 10:41 AM

You Never know. I suspect he has a couple of times or so.
He needs to know what his fans think i guess.

Damn, you got me!

madder128 07-06-2006 11:56 AM

I think he probably does but isnt a member.
I also think he is Alf.

Matriar 07-06-2006 11:58 AM

No I'm not. :p

Alf? I thought he is... well.

Spirrow 07-06-2006 12:00 PM

The thought has crossed my mind that Lorne possibly looks at
the forums every once in a while to know what critics say
about him. But I'm sure he's got enough going on in his life
to afford losing a few fans if there trouble.

Xavier 07-06-2006 12:16 PM

Alf was someone else who had the mission to observe the whole fan base
It was a full time job :p

erwinraaben55 07-06-2006 12:46 PM

I always thought you were observing the fanbase Xavier :P.

But I think that Lorne looks here once in a while. It is the more official oddworld forum.

Just like some Evanescence forum, where the band members go by once in a while, the only forum the go by.

skillya_glowi 07-06-2006 02:41 PM

I agree. He is most likely too busy to be a member here, but it's always interesting to know what fans think of you.

I have a question. For all of you that made it into Fan-of-the-Month and all that, what exactly was the reason? I mean, what qualifications must one have to be known among the Oddworld Inhabitants+fans?

Eeewwwwww. How do you know that? Evanescence equals my feces.

Mudoko_Jedi 07-06-2006 10:57 PM

I think lorne is alcar!

I don't know actually, be a good and constructive member and help the community.

I'd love to have this job, but I'm not sure Lorne needs someone to do this rigt now

LOL!

Nate 07-06-2006 11:45 PM

I just know.
And now I alsow know why you call yourself (old and) not so tasty ;).
But is is good that you spread out your opinion where it is not due :)

Mega-mud! 07-08-2006 02:24 AM

i don think lorne will ever be on oddworld forums.....or will he? dum dum dum!!

Mudoko_Jedi 07-09-2006 12:20 AM

Alcars got a girl friend na na na na!!!!!!!!

Wil 07-09-2006 11:07 AM

Doesn't sound like the Alcar I know…

skillya_glowi, each F.O.M. was selected for their own personal reason. The early ones especially were somewhat famous people, like Kris Kohls and Josh Ryan Evans. A lot of F.O.M.s ran fansites, which Alf obviously recognises. Some were fan artists that struck O.W.I. particularly.

Are you saying that I'm old because I don't like Evanescence? Trust me friend, it has a lot more to do with being able to form cohesive thoughts than being old. They are about as generic as generic gets. And people can be assured that they will receive my opinion whenever a stupid thought or act is perpetrated. Liking Evanescence is a stupid act, so I tried to help you with that.


As for Lorne, I'm sure he checks in here from time to time. He isn't such big shit that he can just ignore what few fans he has left.

Kamille 07-09-2006 08:21 PM

I'm sure lorne has been here at some point, it would be neat if he comes here regulary

Mudoko_Jedi 07-09-2006 11:50 PM

yes it would...hi lorne if youre reading hi yo make more games dingus.

used:) 07-10-2006 09:15 AM

Oh yes, and drop the movie all together, although that would be the econimically smarter move.

Spirrow 07-10-2006 10:06 AM

I doubt Lorne ever really cared for criticism thrown at him on the forums.
I bet if he was a member, he would take a username nobody would
suspect.

skillya_glowi 07-10-2006 12:30 PM

Naturally. If he picked a username like "Lorne Lanning" no one would dare criticize him, unless it wasn't him at all. And that's not very useful when you are trying to get the populace's opinion.

Spirrow 07-10-2006 12:53 PM

More like all your fans are going to be crowding around and trying
to pry some answers out of you.

If Lorne really was a member
here with the name clearly visible, everyone would be backing
down respectfully, an noone would ever say a single offensive
word about him or he could have their arses fired off this forums
forever.

That's what I just said.

So he wouldn't choose anything obvious. I don't think he was ever a member. Although who wouldn't want to be a member of your own fan club?

OANST 07-10-2006 04:32 PM

Odds are good that he is not a member but that he stops in from time to time to get the general feelings of his fans.

Kamille 07-10-2006 09:12 PM

I would rather see a movie honestly instead of a game, but really I can only imagine what he would think of some of our topics like socks yay or nay lol

Mudoko_Jedi 07-10-2006 10:12 PM

lol I would rather see a game made better that MO and SW.

I totally didn't say you were old!. I said you were NOT SO TASTY (reffering to your feces part). That is why the old and is between the (). Because that's not the part I was reffering too, but it still belongs to your forum name.
And I don't give a damn that you don't like Evanescence (and so should you for that I like them (and I will clear it out for you, so you understand what I am reffering to this time: that you shouldn't give a damn that I like Ev, so just don't say it when it wasn't asked! ), but I didn't ask anyone if they liked Evanescence, I just said that I know that the bandmembers come to that particular forum once in a while, and that is what Lorne might do too.


Ps. And sorry for this so offtopic post mods, but some people asked for it. Well, the last scentence is a bit ontopic :p

Lord Vulcher 07-12-2006 03:33 AM

I personally doubt Lorne is a memebr. But if he is.... *looks over shoulder. *Says, "they're on to you!"

skillya_glowi 07-12-2006 04:15 PM

If he is, then he must be close to commiting suicide because of that "Who Other Than Me Hates Munch" thread. I read in one of the interviews ( (c)TOA) that he couldn't sleep at night hearing criticism for the game of AO. Imagine what happened when he found out that a whole bunch of people hated the entire MO game.

Kamille 07-12-2006 07:06 PM

yeah but thats AO, i mean i'm sure he is proud of MO but i was watching this show one time like on G4 or something and he was pretty much like apologizing like MO missed the mark or something he is probaly use to hearing criticism about that game more than any of the others they did, i don't know why i thought it was as good as stranger

I can see why he was apologising about Munch. Nobody liked it.

nothing personal buddy but its people like you who make him regret quality work like MO

Sapphire 07-13-2006 10:46 PM

When I talked with him about Munch, he sounded disappointed more than anything. I know Lorne had more in mind for MO than what ended up being rushed out there, and it's a real shame that the vision changed so much from the initial videos we were seeing for the PS2 tests to what ended up being the MO as we know it today, whether it was due to the Microsoft switchover, some change in viewpoints, catoring to another audience, not enough time or a combination of all of these things. Artists and writers are often unhappy with their own work, especially when starting out with very high expectations. I think he knew that it ended up falling short of what he wanted, and it's a shame that we never got a Munch's Exoddus that could have made up for the shortcomings that he saw in MO. Maybe someday we will get that game.

However, for now, I am thrilled that there is a movie in future sights. I was talking with my boyfriend at length over the prospect, and we agree that, if the marketing is handled well, and this is done right, Abe's Oddysee could be a fantastic movie in its own right, and not just as a "video game movie". I think they need to market it not as an exclusive fiction that you have to be knee-deep in already as a fan to appreciate, but to an audience that has yet to fall in love with the Oddworld we all did when we were first introduced. There's a certain magic in the moment of discovery that's entirely lost when the teaser is full of remarks like, "From the hit award-winning series of video games", or "Continuing the Oddworld legacy" or whatever. I hope others can find in Oddworld what I did when I heard Abe's voice for the first time, you know?

Yeah, I got off topic a bit, sorry about that, but I couldn't help myself. I'm excited at the potential resurfacing of Oddworld and Lorne. :)

Whaddya mean? I liked Munch's Oddysee! Just the majority of people didn't like it. Not all people hate it.
