Oddworld Arena
 
I'm still not sure if this is an April Fools joke or not, but Stewart Gilray 'accidentally' tweeted this link http://www.oddworldarena.com/. It just shows the Oddworld Logo but in the code there is a javascript timer built in set to count down to something. :fuzconf:

AvengingGibbons 04-01-2013 02:12 AM
wouldnt the domain cost them money? why waste money on an april fools joke... just a thought.
Any way of knowing the timer duration?

Phylum 04-01-2013 02:15 AM
I'm sure you could get good deals on short term April Fools Day domain hire.

Crashpunk 04-01-2013 02:26 AM
Yeah I'm not being optimistic about that. To be honest I was expecting a screamer or something. :lol:

:
/* ***** */
/* Clock */
/* ***** */
tday  =new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday");
tmonth=new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");

function GetClock(){
d = new Date();
nday  = d.getDay();
nmonth = d.getMonth();
ndate  = d.getDate();
nyeara = d.getYear();
nhour  = d.getHours();
nmin  = d.getMinutes();
if(nyeara<1000){nyeara=(""+(nyeara+11900)).substring(1,5);}
else{nyeara=(""+(nyeara+10000)).substring(1,5);}

    if(nhour ==  0) {ap = " AM";nhour = 12;}
else if(nhour <= 11) {ap = " AM";}
else if(nhour == 12) {ap = " PM";}
else if(nhour >= 13) {ap = " PM";nhour -= 12;}

if(nmin <= 9) {nmin = "0" +nmin;}

document.getElementById("copyrightline").innerHTML="© Copyright Oddworld Inhabitants, Inc. "+nyeara+"© Copyright Just Add Water (Developments), Ltd. "+nyeara+" ";

setTimeout("GetClock()", 1000);
}
It's setup but not used.

MeechMunchie 04-01-2013 02:31 AM
Yeah, seems like a joke to me.

Fred The Fuzzle 04-01-2013 02:53 AM
I'm not sure, it's either the most terribly executed joke in history or it's legitimate.

Havoc 04-01-2013 02:59 AM
Wil? :tard:

STM 04-01-2013 02:59 AM
I hope it's an April Fools. 'Oddworld Arena' wreaks of FPS gimmick.

Vyrien 04-01-2013 03:30 AM
Abe's CODdysee again?

STM 04-01-2013 03:32 AM
Oh shit, the magazine was right. GUYS, ABE'S CODYSEE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED.

Crashpunk 04-01-2013 04:03 AM
If that was a real thing, I'll throw Oddworld in the pile of dead-to-me franchises, It can keep Spyro and Crash company.

You can get a domain for a year for less than $20. That's not a huge amount for a prank, if you're sure it's a good'un.

I dunno... most of my April Fools jokes have been worse than this.

Wil? :tard:
You expect an honest answer from Wil?! He's on their side now!

Wil 04-01-2013 06:12 AM
I knew nothing about this. I'm praying it's an April Fool's thing.

Varrok 04-01-2013 06:35 AM
They didn't trust Wil enough to tell him!

STM 04-01-2013 06:38 AM
They know he'll blab. It must be sad for you, Wil. We don't trust you and neither does the man. You're in limbo.

It's not an arena for games, it's an arena for fans. They'll force us to compete for favours, parts, games, previews, jobs.

Jordan 04-01-2013 08:04 AM
it got me for like 5 seconds then i assumed it was an april fool's joke.

but the negativity towards it being real annoys me for some reason

I'm thinking fights to the death to see who really is the number #1 Oddworld fan.

Vyrien 04-01-2013 08:25 AM
That can't be it, OANST would win instantly.

Scrabaniac 04-01-2013 08:37 AM
Couldn't really thin of what it would be other than either an April Fools Joke or a new forum community domain, I don't know :S But if it is counting down to something that's odd because April Fools is supposed to end at 12pm

Steamer_KING 04-01-2013 10:33 AM
Oddworld Citizen Siege or April Fools? YOU DECIDE! *jingle*

OANST 04-01-2013 12:59 PM
I yawned.

Nate 04-02-2013 02:16 AM
That's wierd. When I open this page on my mobile, the Hand of Odd logo is shown instead of the OWI one.

Jbot123 04-02-2013 02:48 AM
Didn't happen to me.

Wil 04-02-2013 03:10 AM
If you include the www, it works. If you exclude them, the Hand of Odd logo is there.

I think it's being fixed now.

So... no April Fools joke then?

That's it. On my computer I simply clicked the link above, but on my phone I typed it in and didn't bother with the www.

Xavier 04-02-2013 06:01 AM
There is nothing in there.

However, I like how they copy pasted some javascript to automatically get the copyright year to the current year.

NFI, but like handofodd.com it is absolutely no bearing on, or indication of, the production of a title under that name.
