8???
 
What's with the 8-sign that Bigface makes when he resurrects Abe and when the birds fly in front of the Shrykull in AO??? :confused: :confused:

There is already a topic about it...

I think it's the infinite sign.
But nobody knows.

It is the sign for infinity, it most likely signifies the fact that Abe has been blessed with infinate lives.
I know that, add a 1 to that nobody.

When Abe fell off that cliff he really did die from the fall. Big Face resurected him back to life. That is the Mathimatical sign for infinity. I learned that two years ago.

I knew the infinity sign from a Sonic The Hedgehog comic I read many years ago... But the one thing I'm always wondering is, hwo come abe "dies" in the bad endings? I mean he can get zapped, eaten alive, crushed, etc, but falling into a meat grinder/being decapitated/getting electrocuted kills him? Yeash!

angry slig 01-07-2002 11:05 PM

Yeah, I still dont understand that either. Like you said so much happened to him and he comes back and if Abe died when he fell from the cliff how come he didnt turn ito those birds?

paramiteabe 01-07-2002 11:10 PM

Well I think the birds have to do with his eturnal life kind of like recarnation for a temporary amount of time.

mitsur 01-08-2002 12:11 AM

Mabye the birds couldn't escape to resseract abe because they go cut up too.

Al the Vykker 01-08-2002 02:17 AM

It is the infinite sign, but also could mean that there is an infinte amount of mudokons to save in the world.

moy85 01-08-2002 08:55 AM

it probably means that abe can be reserected infinate times with the help of bigface

Might it be something to do with the fact that this is a computer game? Abe isn't really Immortal, the birds are just the game's cool way of restarting you from the last save point. Think about it: If Abe was actually coming back to life, why would everything he'd killed since the last save point also come back to life?

You might as well ask "How come the game is 2D, when the FMVs are 3D?"...

The Magog On The March 01-08-2002 11:09 PM

Actually I liked it better when it was 2D.. (Flashback gameplay RUUULES!) But on the bad and good ending of AE, we see him turn into birds... and what are these bird things anyway?
