The Winners Of The Achievements
 
http://www.oddworld.com/2014/02/anno...trophy-voting/

Am I the only one who is completely surprised by the winners? Not a single one of these were what I thought they would be. Most of all was the 15 slig deaths, I would have bet my hair on Sligstorm winning. And I have a lot of hair.

Slog Bait 02-13-2014 11:43 PM

I wasn't expecting the Boombat and Slig one, but the other ones seem about right.

Sads because Jawbreaker didn't make the cut

Oddey 02-14-2014 12:08 AM

These do surprise me quite a bit. I like all of them, but for every one of them, there's a runner-up that I prefer.

V_O_T 02-14-2014 12:50 AM

I'm actually pleasantly surprised. None of my choices got selected, but now that I look at the winning names, they fit perfectly with the game. GG guys :)

Varrok 02-14-2014 01:36 AM

They suck.

Nate 02-14-2014 02:17 AM

I think that this should be further evidence that this forum is not an accurate cross-section of Oddworld fandom.

Varrok 02-14-2014 02:25 AM

It's them, not us!

MeechMunchie 02-14-2014 03:14 AM

Enjoy your fame, Marcus; it's downhill from here.

DarkHoodness 02-14-2014 03:18 AM

I think some of the runners up are a lot better than the winners (none of what I voted for won, heh), but I'm glad OWI are doing competitions like this. :)

Xavier 02-14-2014 04:34 AM

Only one of my choices won... heh it was a nice little contest.

I'm just disapointed I saw that the erties were closed when I come back from vacation I would have loved to submit Bat-A-Boom as an achievement name :p

Manco 02-14-2014 05:07 AM

You know as much as I’m disappointed that none of the entries I voted for won, I think the winners are pretty decent. And when I look at it, the ones I liked are all semi-obscure references that perhaps not many people would get – how many fans outside of these forums know what Abe-a-Go-Go is, for example?

It was a rad contest.

Fuzzle Guy 02-14-2014 07:05 AM

Abe's Hardtosee should have taken the crown. Gutted!

Bester 02-14-2014 07:23 AM

I didn't get anything. Oh well, it was nice that they even had the competition. Congratulations to all those that won!

As much as I am disapointed in the winning selection, I'm still glad they did it. These are what the fans wanted, and that's what they should be. The competitions are a good thing though.

True, we need some more competitions, I haven't won one of those signed posters yet. :p

Connell 02-14-2014 08:08 AM

Alas, I am a mere runner up. I suppose Sligstorm may have been a bit too obscure for the more casual fans, but I've got to say I was surprised by the amount it lost by. Fair to say I'm a bit gutted.

Looking forward to my free OddBoxx, though. :)

STM 02-14-2014 09:31 AM

Damn, some of the winners really were not so great. I was kinda like, ah everyone here is just moaning like they always do...but then I saw the winners and damn.

Vyrien 02-14-2014 09:44 AM

I agree, I didn't make the runners-up (a good thing as mine were abominable) but I still feel a little bit disappointed with some of the winners.

Bullet Magnet 02-14-2014 09:56 AM

Next competition: naming the mudokons, ranking the sligs, and giving all the grenades serial numbers.

Wil 02-14-2014 10:02 AM

Don't worry, we don't get given enough download codes to support that.

Renney77 02-14-2014 11:27 AM

I like all the ones that won...

Slog Bait 02-14-2014 12:19 PM

I still think "Why do birds suddenly appear... ?" is fucking genius

Fuzzle Guy 02-14-2014 01:43 PM

I think the one that most captures the spirit of the original two Oddworld Games is "Rupture Farms: Now Hiring."

It'd be even funnier if they got rid of the birds in N&T.

SoulStorm64 02-14-2014 04:53 PM

Well Atleast my name is in the runners up list.

V_O_T 02-14-2014 05:33 PM

I was gonna make a separate thread but I don't want to cause clutter.

This new screen looks brilliant. Like, attention to detail and effort is evident. (Minus the comic sans. You evil bastards)

I'm mainly saying this because the scrab proportions look perfect. They look like a beastly size that looks threatening.


Also, we've been hinted at a spring release. Not gonna lie, getting pretty hyped.

Crashpunk 02-15-2014 02:50 AM

Meh. I feel some of the entries were a bit better but oh well.

I hope more competitions come along. :)

Pirfsich 02-15-2014 09:02 AM

I personally wasn't happy with the selected entries, at all.
Mhh.. maybe I was too confident with my ideas...
Anyway, congrats to the winners! :D
Ohh, the scrab sceenshot! It looks so gooooood! <3
The lightning! *.*

Connell 02-15-2014 11:36 AM

Anyone know how the runners up redeem their OddBoxx codes? Or will they be released at the same time as N'n'T?

Pirfsich 02-15-2014 11:46 AM

I still haven't got my code for the recipe-contest...
Prepare for a long wait xD

Varrok 02-15-2014 11:57 AM

Don't worry, you'll get it as soon as they port Munch HD to PC ;)
