What makes "New Yolk City" any worse than "SoulStorm Brewery"? Seriously, I think most of the people on this forum hold OWI to standards that never even existed in their other games. One letter less and scrab is crab. Slig is slug. Slog is is dog. Its clever, not a sign of OWI lack of creativity. Would you prefer things to be called Plurmong or Neebloarja?
Hmmm. You have a point, but one that I've heard iterated many times before. Personally, I just dislike "New Yolk City". I like the creativity of slig = slug, scrab = crab, slog = dog, etc. But "New Yolk City" just registers too much of a cliche (over use, such as Oddworld's affection with the letter 'z').

You might recall that I was one of the defenders of Munch's Oddysee. I saw the beauty in the game, as a general game, but I saw the uglyness in it as an Oddworld game. Also, those names you created off the top of your head (I assume), are quite good. I wouldn't mind seeing them in the game.
