Dont you just hate the mines in Abes Exoddus/Oddysee
 

You know the ones, the ones that you crouch next to and have to tap the top while they're green. I HATE THEM!!! Espesaliy when your a noob who can't do jack sh**.

I like them I think there fun

I'm still trying to deactivate that first one in AO, I've been trying for 12 years now, maybe some day I'll get it.

I hate the four in abes exoddus, where in the first part a Mudokon has two mines on either side of it... GOD DAMMIT YOU STUPID MINES, STOP BLOWING THE HELL UP :fuzmad: :banghead: :compmad: :chairhit:

I always just jump over that one

its easy,tap afther the red light bleeps,then you will disarm the mine

Duh.

lol I know I'm just being an ass hole, but I don't mind the mindes, I actually like that part where you have to disarm three in a row and they all have different sequences. Once you get the patterns down they're actually kind of fun to disarm, I'm sure some people on this site have all the patterns committed to memory like some kind of Oddworld idiot savant lol.

Yeah, I guess you're right Hazel-Rah, but it sill annoys me when thats one of the mudokons dies because of them.

I usually make the slig from the next screen run through the barrier and into that mine.

I replayed AO recently and found the mines really simple. I think I blew myself up once in the whole game. I remember that I loathed them when I first played it though. You just need to feel the rhythm of the beeps; I'd suggest even ignoring the red/green lights and just listen to the sounds.

Stop bragging you... you... you... annoying person who is good at oddworld games.

Sometimes I nod my head left to right to get a feel for the mines.

I've done speedthroughs of both games many many times but I always quicksave right before I do one just in case I rush.

lol I like that, I used to tap my feet to them actually.

I do that with the native whistling passwords. Those always confuse me because the higher pitched whistle is to the left on the keyboard and the lower pitched is to the right, opposite to the notes on a piano.

Goddamn, I hadn't noticed that. Thanks a lot!

Usuallly I just make sligs run into them

Yea, I like the mines too... Yea, I think they're really easy to defuse, too...

I used to find the mines to be a little irritating, but now I seem to breeze through them easily.

Has anyone ever tryed writing down morse code from the mines? Maybe Lorne has put a hidden message in the game and we don't even know it D=!!

Anyway the mines are easy and simple. If you don't have the ability to follow a rhythm, then I fear you're have a disadvantage in life X_x

the first time i played it i spent days on the first UXB, not realising you can just jump it, you can usually jump most of the UXB's in AO, i can only think of 2 you have to de-activate, the first one in paramonia, and just one of the three in a line in the paramonian temple. there might be a couple more but i cant think of them off the top of my head

Didn't you have a hissy fit and leave the forums because everyone found you annoying?

Anyway, I don't really mind the mines. I just look at the pattern and say it in my mind so I know when to defuse them.

i like mines,i atfirst didnt quite like em now its ok when u get iti like doing that

I like doing that.

UXB's are cool because they add a bit of depth into the game, anyone know the stockyards scene where there's two sligs and two rocks that are dark and the screen before there's an UXB and a secret bird portal. Well on that I only got the slig to follow me into the UXB once, my PS game decides now that I should just wait for two minutes until the sligs are perfectly aligned then just creep/dash past them and climb up to safety!

Yeah that part really annoys me. I think it's glitched so it's very difficult to get a slig to follow you. I've only ever killed a slig with the UXB twice.

I do it every time, I've never had a problem with it.

me neither,its quite easy,appear from the shadows and turbo back so they dont shoot you,you will hear the chase music

It's all a matter of timing. One thing about the oddworld games is that there's very little, if any, randomization - certianly, sligs have none. I think scrabs, glukkons and greeterz do, but nothing else.

Who the hell do you think you are, criticising another member for something he did before you even joined?

Morse code?

Was just saying is all. I just think it's a bit weird to spam the board with "GOODBYE" then just coming back.

Their not that hard to deactivate; it just takes practice.

However; if your looking for an easy way around them, I suggest using possessed Sligs, bombs or spirit rings to depose of them. I must note though that you will of course not be able to do this with every UXB you come across.

arnet you new so you cant possibly offend any of us including me (and i'm the lowest of the low, so, you know.)

On Topic: anyway, the first few mines you come across in ao have a pretty easy pattern, but you can usually avoid them, where as the patterns in paramonia and stuff are quite hard to remember and you have to know how many red beeps before the green each time.

*Beep*-*Beep*-*Beep*-*BOOP*-*Beep*-*Beep*-*Beep*-*BOOP*-*Beep*-*Beep*-*Beep*-*Slap*

Simple.

I think it's pretty weird to suck as much as you do, but hey, we all have our schtick.

OH HELL YES!!!! I JUST GOT RID OF THOSE FU**ING MINES THAT I HATE!!!!!! TAKE THAT YOU STUPID MINES!!!! Sorry, its just thats the first time I've actually tapped them without exploding.

I know fucking hell, even when you play at night it still scares the shit out of you.

Its all about the pattern thats how I learn how to disarm them.

Yer, but it still fucking pisses me off.

I'm actually stuck there right now. Been playing through AO trying to save all 99, just did the secret area and got killed by those anoying sligs. Happened 2 more times and then I said FFFFFUUUUUUUU- and quit.

I always am like, lets play, then I get stuck, and then I get pissed and turn it off. LOL;):D:p
