Not sure if anyone else has tried this... I was trying to find some meaning behind the "there's got to be a wa_" in the Soulstorm page source, so I tried to go to http://www.oddworld.com/soulstorm/y and it brought me to an article.

Then I tried every other letter of the alphabet. It seems for every letter, there's some page in oddworld.com it redirects to, except for the letters k, q, x, and z.

Trolling, perhaps?

Edit: Probably not. Seems to do the same for oddworld.com/y
Yeah, I encountered this early on when we were still speculating about this being an ARG – something in oddworld.com’s redirect settings makes certain URLs redirect to pages on the main site, usually if the URL you visit has a keyword or number related to a news post on the main site. For example, oddworld.com/soulstorm/0451 goes to this page, which if you check the URL is article #451 on the main site.
