How old is Munch?

[Xakara]

I'm newbie! I don't know how old Munch is. Would somebody tell me how old is he? Thanx!!!=)

[Xavier]

according to Oddworld.com

Age
2 years (think dog years)

[Wil]

That's queer, I'm sure Oddworld.com used to give his age in months...

Welcome to the Forums, Xakara, but for future reference we'd appreciate it if small questions like this that really only require a single answer could go into the Oddworld Questions and Answers topic. It's stickied, so it'll always be near the top of the message tables, easy to find.

Enjoy your stay!

EDIT: Now that I've read the article I'm absolutely positive they've changed it - it used to mention Munch becoming irratable and paranoid when left alone for long periods.

I browsed though my archives and it's exactly the same text that I saved more than one year ago (26/04/2002)

[Wil]

Really? Not that I don't believe you, but I swear that what I recall was on there just during the summer holidays when I was writing articles for TOE.

Oh, and in case you're all wondering, Xav accidently clicked 'edit' on my post instead of 'quote'. I've done it before, but fortunately I wasn't a mod at the time.

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!!!!
HOPE YOU LIKE FF TOO!

[Al the Vykker]

Yeah a few years ago, they had it as like nine months for his age.

[Xavier]

strange... I will see back in my archives


edit: look what I found (from the previous munch page)

welcome newbie, im Sligslinger; the gothic, half mad, genius, idiot, oddworld cartoonist.

you can call me SS
(do it, i prefer SS)

[Xavier]

don't call him SS, it sounds too Nazi

anyway I wonder how OWI could explain that change

[Alf]

Well, my mind ain't what it used to be, but my gut says that was part of the whole "something brewing in the belly of Odd" bit. You know, when Munch was still in conception. As in pregnancy, nine months, etc... Then when his age was determined for the game's sake it must have been changed. I will check my sources, though. Xavier, you are the Fox Moulder of the forums! ARRRRRRGGGGG!!!!!!

[Mac the Janitor]

Haha, hey Alf! Long time no see! You should visit more often, you know. I'll give you money. And very large carrot cakes.

[oddguy]

Yay! This is the first time I've seen Alf post something in my existence of being on these forums! I'm so happy!

Go back to your lives.

Hey Xakara I am Paramiteabe PA for short and well I am one of the many great artist here on the forums. Welcome! Oh and its nice to see you again Alf.

Paramiteabe...

[Wil]

Woo, Alf has returned and supplied not only an answer, but one that doesn't actually require follow-up, unlike the 'Does Abe have a last name' post. It's great to have you back, Alf!

Even if you haven't recognised me... not wanting to brag here, but I'm the who went to the dog years converter at onlineconversion.com to try and figure out if both ages could be true.

[Xavier]

I want to believe...

glad to see you back
and many thanx for the answer

Good to see I wasnt crazy, and that Munch was 9 month old originally.

[Xavier]

Al, everybody knows you aren't crazy, at least I do

[Sekto Springs]

xav, you call me SS all the time and you know it

[Zach Roy Wilson]

2 years when tinking dog years (mumbles 2 times 7 is 4 carry the 1) He is 14 in gabbit years. Thankyou and good night!

[Wil]

ZRW, not to burst your bubble here, but if you'd been to OnlineConversion, you'd know that there are not 7 dog years to a human year. There are 10.5 dog years to a human year for the first two years of the dog's life, then 4 years for every human year after that.

What's more, using the term 'Gabbit' years in the way you have implies that Gabbit years are the same as human years, yet considering a Gabbit life expectancy is less than a quarter of a human life expectancy (taking Western figures, I fear), this is somewhat unlikely.

[Xavier]

so munch is 21 years? he is "older" then Abe, strange, Abe always act as he was older than Munch towards him

[Müdos]

OK. these converstions are confusing me quite alot. So I'll ask this, how many Gabbit years are there in a human year?

I suck I know.

OMG Alf was totally here

chill!! he comes and goes, passes and flows

you'll see him a few times around the forums

[Müdos]

Yeah, still it's truely amazing. I'm new to these forums and really I'm also quite new to oddworld aswell. God it's such an interesting world. I played Abe's Oddysee when it first came out and I loved it. I didn't play Exoddus until last year and then played MO this year and have fallen inlove with all three. That's how I stumbled across here. A great forum by the way guys. Yeah I'm turning into an Odd fan.

You're not the only confused one, but since Gabbits live for around 18 years, that means there are approximately four Gabbit years to a human year, meaning that Munch is very roughly 8 Gabbit years old, which makes enough sense, since he is a young Gabbit.

And welcome to the Forums, Müdos, you look like a great chap to have around these parts, and GD officially welcomes you with open arms.
