Asou, domo Rettick-san...
Hmm, well none of those things bothered me...it seems many take Abe's Oddysee as the definitive for what being "Oddworldish" is and I don't do that. Maybe I don't take it "as serious" but even though the games represent real problems I've always taken them with lightheartedness and have enjoyed every incarnation. Like i've said before who's to say what "Oddworld" is other than it's creators.
Damnit, I start ranting too...just repeating myself but anyway thanks for clarifying for me.
Peace
