Where is OWI?
 
:

Although its internal development studio has been shut down, the company is still active
Quoted from Wikipedia

So dose anybody know where they are now? :fuzconf:

Josh 02-04-2010 09:51 AM

Non-existant.

I'm sure Max or Nate would know where Oddmobb is.

Crashpunk 02-04-2010 09:59 AM

I can imagine OWI like the Enemy's Secret base off the Bond films. As we speak. Lorne is making CS inside a Volcaino.

MeechMunchie 02-04-2010 10:09 AM

Hell.

Sekto Springs 02-04-2010 10:31 AM

I imagine if they even have a base of operations yet, it would be in California.

Wil 02-04-2010 11:29 AM

They're in the Bay Area. Have been for nearly a lustrum.

Xavier 02-05-2010 12:50 AM

OWI was in Lorne's basement for a while :p I don't know where Oddmobb is but I suspect it isn't too far from it.

A volcano's so much cooler than California...

Offshore volcano?

Wil 02-05-2010 04:33 AM

What's with the volcanophilia?

Zukan 02-05-2010 04:45 AM

Either a sub carrier disguised as a gigantic oil tanker or an underwater base. There is also the possibility of a space station but that movie sucked so I really hope not.

They are hiding within the electric eye!
Here's what lorne sent me in an e-mail:
Up here in space
I'm looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do

You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye

Always in focus
You can't feel my stare
I zoom into you
but You don't know I'm there


What we know from this: lorne is a robot and is hiding within the electric eye in the sky!

In the smile of every forum nerd.

Bullet Magnet 02-05-2010 06:35 AM

I'd base my operations out of a skyhook, but that's just me. I'd acquire the funds from my Steam sales. No discounts or special offers with me in charge!

STM 02-05-2010 09:16 AM

San Obispo or San Luis I believe if their near OWI original

Wil 02-05-2010 03:09 PM

No, they moved away from there. To the Bay Area. A lustrum ago.

Nate 02-05-2010 03:20 PM

Though as of April 2008, their old offices still had 'Oddworld Inhabitants' written on the front and back doors.

used:) 02-05-2010 04:01 PM

So they haven't been completely gutted for another company, as of April 2008?

Pilot 02-05-2010 05:10 PM

Berkeley.

Technically "around Berkeley."

I talked to Lorne Lanning on facebook and he said that their still working on oddworld but they have something to do be4 oddworld. Its probably Citizen siege but I hope not because I dont care about boring Citizen Siege I want Freakin oddworld!

enchilado 02-16-2010 04:33 PM

I think Citizen Siege sounds very cool, not boring, but I still want to see more Oddworld.

And please, I know it can be hard, but please use at least proper spelling. You can get spelling-checkers and these will tell you that "be4" isn't a word, and that "dont" should contain an apostrophe; if you have a good grammar-checker, it should notify you that "their" should be "they're", as well.

It will take some practise but I'm sure you can manage it. It makes it so much easier to read nice grammar and spelling.



Also, the Valet Slig rocks.

I'm so glad that somebody was twattish enough to point that out. I can't fucking stand poor spelling that clearly isn't a result of inexperience, but laziness.

Alright I shall began spelling more maturely, I didn't know that people really cared so, sorry!

And the other dude the message is on a facebook account that I canceled. I can see if I can retrieve it.


******************UPDATE**************************

I reactivated me account! (The reason I deactivated is, the last name was "Muffinalien" and I didn't know how to change it. Here is the pic=
(sorry I could not make it bigger, it will not let me have a image bigger than 1 MB.)

Phylum 02-17-2010 09:21 PM

Oh yeah, me too!!!!!!!

Oh wait, I did it before it was cool.

Not really. After.

Zukan 02-18-2010 04:46 AM

Lorne is going to talk at the 3D gaming summit April 21-22, apparently it will be something related to "Games and Movies". Anyone near Los Angeles wanna go check it out? (And record the event with a camera so I can see the whole thing yay!)

Thanks for pointing it out, I'll keep an eye on it.

Nate 02-19-2010 02:12 AM

Yeah, but I waited until after I'd actually met him to add him. :D
