April fools: Oddworld Store preview: TOLshop
 
Oddworld Inhabitants will soon be announcing the creation of the Oddworld Store, an online shopping centre where loyal fans can buy Oddworld merchandise and games. Although this may not seem like the greatest thing OWI could release at this time, the store puts an end to scouring eBay for rare whoopie cushions and baseball caps.

Although the Oddworld Store will not be opened for another few weeks, the Oddworld Library has been able to negotiate not only early news coverage but our very own preliminary TOLshop: a tiny preview of the eventual official site to help us celebrate the Library’s official third birthday.

Available now are a selection of five T-shirts in a range of sizes, one based on each Oddworld game and one based on the upcoming Citizen Siege film and games. Hopefully we will be permitted to add more items before the full range becomes available on the official Oddworld Store, but for now you have the option of lending your support for Oddworld Inhabitants with this nifty set of merchandise.

I... I don't believe it... OH MY FUCKING GOD! I LOVE YOU! THANKYOU!

AlexFili 03-31-2009 07:23 AM

Holy Odd, this is gigantic news.

SLIG FINGER PUPPETS PLEASE!!! :D

(lol posted at the same time as above poster :D)

Jordan 03-31-2009 07:26 AM

A joke. A little uh... Early for an April Fool's joke hm? You honestly did fool me, I was actually excited. So, even OWI opening a merchandise shop is a joke too?

alf's brother's mate 03-31-2009 07:30 AM

Yeah I think thats the general idea Jordan.

These guys think they're so funny...

April? I thought it's tomorrow o__O;

AlexFili 03-31-2009 08:13 AM

Whatever you do, don't mention Munch's Exoddus >_<

OANST 03-31-2009 10:17 AM

You're an asshole. Seriously. Asshole.

Oddey 03-31-2009 10:24 AM

Bad joke, good joke or no joke. You decide.:D

I'm confused as to wether ths is joke or not.

If it's a joke, you got me. If it's not, then I might buy something.

AlexFili 03-31-2009 10:29 AM

If only there was a Slig one :D

IF THIS IS AN APRIL FOOLS PRANK I'M GONNA STAB YOUR EYES OUT!

Crap they don't have XS. oh well, time to put on a few kilos.

Fuzzle Guy 03-31-2009 04:29 PM

I hate you.

You do realise... we are all well within our rights to negrep you as it is before April Fools?

Seriously, this is so much more soul destroying than "OWF IS CLOSING" was.

DarkHoodness 03-31-2009 04:53 PM

Aww, you should've made them more professional-looking. :P It'd of fooled more people.

Though I wouldn't pay $18 for a T-Shirt with "Hello" and "Follow me" written on it in green OddFont, even though it is a good idea.

I've never had to ask this before; How exactly do you negrep people?

Xavier 04-01-2009 06:43 AM

I apologize if I got your hopes up a bit too much, but I didn't believe anyone would fall for it...

so you know who to throw your garbage at:
Xavier: site and t-shirts
Max: catchy introduction

:p

AlexFili 04-01-2009 07:14 AM

I might get a Slig t-shirt personalised one day, that would be awesome!
I'm still holding out for Slig Finger Puppets :D

By the way, if you want to get personalised T-Shirts you can try a variety of different places.

Here's one: http://www.tshirtstudio.com/ By the way I can't confirm or deny how good this store is because I have never used it. Enjoy at your own peril!

OANST 04-01-2009 11:56 AM

You guys should all check out the new Nine Inch Nails album that became available for download today. Make sure that you read the track list.

Although this wouldn't put an end to 'relic miners' who want the real classic merchandise. All this would be doing is adding to the amount of already available fan merchandise. Even if they re-release some of the old merchandise, like the boxer shorts *crosses fingers* it won't be 'original' just a reproduction.

Oh yeah. Pussygrinder. Great.

Depart from me Xavier, into everlasting fire...

Oddey 04-01-2009 11:11 PM

I'll get my hands on a "Hello" T-shirt one of these days.

Oddsville 04-06-2009 06:08 PM

AlexFili 04-07-2009 12:26 AM

Although this was an April Fools. In my opinion it was a very good one. (In fact I think this one was probably the best one I got all day!)
Not only that but thanks to this, I now own an ACTUAL Slig T-Shirt that I designed myself!

I have become pissed off.

panuru 04-12-2009 03:51 AM

I am saddened. I was also fooled.

Xavier 04-13-2009 01:47 AM

I've edited the title of this thread to avoid further disappointments...

Fuzzle King 04-13-2009 07:14 AM

The damage is already done.
