Shit, I hope Cullen Heath doesn't know about this yet.
|
I think Cullen will be sorely disappointed to shop here.
|
He's used to it.
|
Mat, you sly dog.
If anyone here was to take him down a peg, I'm glad it was you. |
Do they have blow-up Gabbits?
|
This is almost as evil as the time Xav pulled that April fool's joke.
|
Jordan just presented a Family Guy style moment. Everybody drink!
|
FAKE!
That's what I want to shout... but I guess it's just a random store with the name. Good find though! |
You didn't know that? The office supplies in the front window are kind of a tipoff...
|
:
Anyway I'm surprised this is permitted, isn't Oddworld a copyrighted name? |
It's Odd World isn't it? Not Oddworld.
|
I'm quite sure it's "Oddworld".
EDIT: Disregard that, the shop sign capitalises "W". |
Well, we do live in an Odd World. I still prefer FeeCo International.
|
Maybe OddWorld isn't copyrighted in Greece?
|
Yeah, what MoxCo. said, although you're talking about trademarks, not copyright. Trademarks have to be registered in each country you want to do business.
|
Usually it doesn't matter that much as long as it doesn't;
1) pretend to be the former company 2) infringe on the other companies business Example; McCurry is a food retailer (hence they got sued by McDonalds), whereas these are two totally different companies. A games developer/publisher and an office supplier (not to mention two totally different countries). |
O RLY?

But still, developer vs. retail.
|
He said O RLY. Discussion over.

Now that Cullen is gone, everyone give me their oddworld merchandise. I only have a faded sticker pack and a t-shirt that no longer fits. Justin told me of the time he pretty much walked out of OWI with tons of merchandise and sold it all to that little slutpig for a stupid amount of money. It hurts even more to know that if I had befriended him a year or so earlier, some of it would have been mine. He offered me a ballcap, but I would never wear the damn thing.
I always just barely reach that brass ring... just touching it with my fingertips, but then I fall again. Fall into a large pit of angry rhinoceros anuses... ... What was I talking about again? Oh yeah. Mat, I'm looking at you. Tell you what; you give me all your OW crap, and I'll perform any sexual favor you desire. My only request is that you try your best to avoid clogging my windpipe with your batter, I have asthma. |

Also check out this site: www.oddworld.be
A couple of years back, I really did buy Oddworld there! It was that unofficial Abe statue where Abe stands on a RuptureFarms barrel. |
I've been to that Website so many time looking for Oddworld!
|
I have a long-sleeve black shirt with the sick Mudokon icon on the front and the AE logo on the back towards the top. Running down the sleeves are bones.
I don't know where I left it though. :( |
I have a crapload of stuff. Anyone.....want to......make any offers?
|
What kind of stuff?
|
I don't think that I am allowed to discuss the selling of Oddworld items on the forums. Lets just say this: I have some pretty cool shit.
|
Mat has cardboard Munch's Oddysee displays, posters, christmas cards... the whole nine yards.
If I had money, I would offer it... *sigh* This is why people like Cullen piss me off. Some spoiled little cockroach that defecates money can just throw it at people and he's suddenly "bought" his fandom. Then there are those of us who genuinely love Oddworld, it has a special place in our hearts, and we're all a bunch of dirt-poor nerds. |
I have a customized white T-Shirt with a red Slig on the front and Slig Barracks logo on the back. That's probably the only merchandise I have apart from the games though.

Who is this Cullen? He sounds like a prick.
|
He is the evil demon of the forums, buying all the Oddworld Merchandise he can get off Ebay with his enormous wealth.
But the great Lord OANST once played a trick on the demon, forcing the mighty Heath to lose all his money. The Demon retreated into exile and has rarely been spotted since. |
Cullen was this thirteen-year-old brat that had a brief stint here on the forums to milk us for merchandising information. His mommy and daddy are filthy rich and bought him pretty much anything he wanted, including pretty much any and all Oddworld merchandise that appeared on eBay, regardless of price or shipping method.
If you browse the older pages of the Oddworld Buy thread you'll probably find a few of his posts and all the disappointed remarks we made in losing to him. I mean, this kid would set his first bid at some ridiculous number so no one could outbid him - fucking prick. At first I found it admirable that he would be willing to spend so much for the sake of fandom, but then I looked at his eBay history and saw that he just threw money away on all kinds of stupid shit just for the sake of having it. He spent like two grand on some vintage Madonna poster. As FG mentioned, he also bought up this life-sized, fiberglass, promotional statue of Abe and Munch. The sculpture was off-model and ugly as sin, but he just had to have it because it was Oddworld. If I remember correctly, the shipping was pick-up only, and even though it was nowhere near where he lived his daddy flew out and picked it up for him anyway. There was a brief wave of Oddworld merchandise popping up on eBay, and I say he bought 95% of it. Mat, however, gave him his just desserts. Cullen payed him tons of money for Mat's massive collection of OW gear, Mat took the money and ran and Cullen saw not one piece of it. I'd like to think it bugs him to this day, but his parents probably reembersed him in full and bought him his own rodeo clown to cheer him up. The clown was promptly slaughtered after Cullen got bored with it and was made into multi-colored glue sticks. |
For the record, I like Cullen.
He'd better posrep me for that. |
From what I remember Cullen was quite a nice person around the forums.
|
He was a nice guy on the forums, I never had any problem with him.

Of course you mods like Cullen, you've met Lorne. You have merchandise. You have no regrets about anything because you run this joint and control all Oddworldian venues in the community. You wouldn't have anything against him, or anyone really. Nice or not, I strongly dislike those who are wealthy and careless with said wealth. I'd be happy with just one poster... if I had his money, I wouldn't make it so that every other Oddworld fan had absolutely no chance of ever getting their mits on a scrap of vintage Oddworld goodness.
As for you MoxCo, you're just trying to be a non-conformist. |
:
I never really had anything against Cullen either. If you have the money you may as well use it... SS clearly doesn't feel the same way |
For some reason, I'm remembering the second coming of Chris happening just after the Cullen Heath era. Even I'm a bit suprised at your harshness, Kaiser.
