These just could not get any older...

Very helpful title, by the way.

Abeguy 04-23-2006 05:29 PM

I know, just was too tired to care, close it if you want

G'day

"Omfg, ok liek, wat do u guyz tihnk of mi big bag of boolshit I mayd u?"

Sorry, although the movie was a bit funny.

Cullen Heath 04-23-2006 06:07 PM

Does anyone know where to find the "comic" of the 2 guys and Lorne. And they say: "Hey, it's Lorne Lanning!" or something like that?

You stole that newgroundsthing from the Stupid Shit thread, I literally just finished watching it.

Abeguy 04-24-2006 04:35 AM

I did? well I guess I'm one of those dudes thats a kleptomaniac while he sleeps.

watch out, not even I know where I'll strike next

The animation's pretty gay. The characters don't look anything like OW characters. They look too "anime-ish".

Xavier 04-24-2006 08:30 AM

jark oddysee was a bit funny
the other one's so old my eyes fell out

Wil 04-24-2006 09:41 AM

*picks Xav's eyes up and puts them back in*

Jerk Odyssey was a bit funny, but the Penny-Arcade! comics are quite common knowledge.

Oddish 04-24-2006 10:47 AM

Ah yes, I remember Dipstikk's lovely review on Jerk Oddysee.

Where can I find this review?

Dipstikk 04-24-2006 03:53 PM

"I knew this was gonna be shit when I saw your "interpritation" of Abe. Closed the movie the moment I saw it.

I'm just going to assume that you have a brain tumor that's clouding your judgement on what things look like. Abe does NOT look anything like Piccolo or whatever the fuck his name is, you fucking sod.

Dragonball Z sucks. The art style sucks. Their eyes are too pointy.

And by the looks of the reviews, I don't think I WANT to see it.

Stop making parodies of games if you can't even make the parodized main character resemble the actual character.

Fucking douche.

I gave you a point out of sympathy."

tentacle_orgy 04-24-2006 06:33 PM

Dude, that's awesome...What was the point of that animation, anyway? Was it, like, an actual attempt at humor?

Alcar 04-24-2006 07:04 PM

Oh God, I really enjoy Penny Arcade's spin on Oddworld. It always cracks me up, because it could be true! :p

Alcar...

Assuming this is the one you're talking about it's another Penny Arcade strip in which the subject of Lorne is brought up for no apparent reason. As much as I love Oddworld, I have to admit I laughed pretty hard when I first saw this;

It doesnt strike me as the sort of Oddworld humor you'd appreciate though, Cullen =P

I didn't watch it. I assume that it was a lackluster attempt at a parody.

Good to know you support the reason behind this forum's conception.
Doesn't take much thought to toss in a gratuitous refrence to Lorne in the end, just to insult him for no reason.

These guys are like the Family Guy of the gaming world.

Cullen Heath 04-24-2006 08:26 PM

Yes, that's the one! Thanks heaps, Tom!

Xavier 04-24-2006 11:27 PM

still don't get the penny arcade one...
usually I like them but here they are just being pointlessly stupid

OANST 04-25-2006 06:03 AM

Personally, I thought it was pretty funny.

looney-bin 04-25-2006 07:09 AM

And pretty true. If LL had stayed with EA, he would have made a crapload of money AND got Oddworld's rep higher. Also, he could have just threatened to leave instead of actually leaving when EA said they wanted sequals for Stranger.

Glukinator 04-25-2006 05:08 PM

That video SUCKED!!

Are you joking? Or just simple.

He should never have signed up to EA. They're a black hole for creativity.

What he should have done is continued on with his later deal with Majesco, who at least have a reputation for endorsing creativity, if not the ability to promote games in the manner they deserve.

Dipstikk 04-25-2006 10:47 PM

Case-in-point: Psychonauts.

Xavier 04-26-2006 12:55 AM

They had some problems with Majesco too... who was being unprofessional
EA killed Oddworld and Majesco didn't help

outlaw king 04-26-2006 01:22 AM

I hate EA , they ruin good games , EA hunts orphans as a summer sport , and that lady that whispers " challenge everything " whenever I put strangers wrath on deserves to be shot.

They are eeeevil . I wish Lorne would make a 100% oddworld game , without pulling along some other company to help , like EA . bring back games like Abes oddysee . Thats what I have to say! take up arms my brothers! with this blade I slit the throat of the evil EA dictators . I spit on their boring accountant shoes! I grab my musket and....

Sorry , I always get carried away like this . But yeah , EA suck.
