Is it just me, or is Lorne Lanning a very hard man to please? The man's brain must be like a thunderstorm, flashing from one idea to the next and god-damned be the consequences. While I like hearing that Oddworld will be expanding into movies, I shudder to think that he would scatter their talented team to the four winds. Lorne is the main creative power behind it all, though, and I doubt that Oddworld will lost the good writing and story-telling as long as he's at the helm. Perhaps this is a good thing; perhaps now instead of his ideas being cut short of stunted by technical limitations and deadlines (i.e. the Glukkon and Mudokon queen missing in action from Munch's Oddysee), we'll finally see Lorne Lanning and us as well fully pleased with a final product. Even if this is a good move for us fans, though, I can't help but think that Lorne can be cruel to his underlings in his determination...
