Somebody make me a fan.
All my friends at this forum (one person, no names) is a Oddworld freak, I'm not.
Please convince me to be a fan. (I have played the games a little, not the Xbox game)

Quetzalcoatl out...

well there are many ways to be a fan. Take this into consideration go to oddworld sites like Oddworldian, Oddworld universe, Oddworld Inhabitants. and study look through things play the games and observe make theories. Its really exsiting and remeber Oddworld is very large and we have only scratch the surface we also have resources here like Xavier the pic master he has all the pics you need, Max the oddworld encyclopedia, Oddsville the oddworld Almanac, Khanzumer the Oddworld Dictionary, and myself the oddworld theory generator.

just study and come back you might understand more.

Well, to start, you can like Oddworld.

paramiteabe · #4 07-05-2002, 02:17 AM

You got to know Oddworld. You have to like it so much that you sometimes dream Oddworld. Believe me, when I was first introduced to this game I started to become very fascinated in Oddworld. Because if you think that it is more than just a game then you are on the right track to becomeing a good fan. Because Oddworld is more than a game. It is a story about another world that we have only begun to understand. If you get that down then you will be a good fan. You just have to like this kind of stuff. Make it your hobby if you like. But the thing is you just have to love it.

well said Paramiteabe. I think that paramiteabe gave you the best answer for this topic to be a true Oddworld fan you have to love Oddworld.

Simple
Play the games.
And if you like them, you will be a fan of Oddworld...

... But if you don't like them, then a Big Bro Slig will hunt you down and shoot you.

It seems that those Oddworld sites are the 'bigger' Oddworld sites at the moment, which can be good and bad.

Thanks for mentioning my website Kaimana, it feels good to know that it is noticed! *mumbles "I just wish the counters would reflect that..."*

There were at one stage a lot of Oddworld websites out there, which was great. But they have since seemed to disappear., or shut down. I'm glad to see oddbodd.net back up, i must say.

At one time, Oddworld News was known for it's surperb fast-ness of finding Oddworld related news items. Although, it's a bummer that your site is based totally on news...and seeing how there isn't much at the moment...

But don't worry, I always pop in on Oddworld News or Oddworld Maniac, although i have to use babelfish!

If you want to like Oddworld even more you should do something like memorise all of the movies in the games (that's what I did

).

***Xavier*** · #15 07-05-2002, 11:00 AM

you can also look at pictures hours and hours trying to find details no one ever notice.
