Do you mean that khanzumers are the Queens of every species?

***Xavier*** · #4 09-20-2002, 02:30 PM

no, he just made a mistake, he tougth Sam was a Khanzumer.

Jacob · #5 09-20-2002, 03:29 PM

How is that Sam? Where's her big egg sack and whats wrong with her face...

***Xavier*** · #6 09-20-2002, 03:34 PM

well, her face is pretty normal, look it's the same as here

dripik · #7 09-20-2002, 04:25 PM

You mean that flat thing in the middle of the picture is Sam? Huh, that's interesing...

***Xavier*** · #8 09-20-2002, 04:27 PM

well I saw a video... where lorne refers to it as "Abe's Mom"
So... yes it is Sam

meech-venerator · #9 09-20-2002, 08:28 PM

euhm.. pardon my ignorance, but what is a kahnzumer, anyway...

General Drippik · #10 09-20-2002, 09:33 PM

They buy lots of stuff. No one knows what they look like.

Jacob · #11 09-20-2002, 10:33 PM

What is that thing on her head? Is it, like, some kind of stereo-headset thing to play calming music?

***Alcar*** · #12 09-20-2002, 11:02 PM

I remember someone saying (im sure it was Max in the quizzes) that in ME or later when Munch, Abe and Sam meet up that Munch and Sam can relate to eachother, or become friends (something like that) because they both share an implanted object in their heads.

Alcar...

Jacob · #13 09-20-2002, 11:14 PM

Why do they have them in their heads? Bless Sam, i bet she was getting all geared up when they were discussing that they were going to shove something hard into her...

And i've just noticed that Sams breasts are IMMENSLY saggy...is this because she slouched alot when she was young?

TheKhanzumer · #14 09-21-2002, 12:54 AM

The khanzumerz are the race which consumes most of the goods produced by the Magog Cartel, Vykkers Conglomerate and other industrial races. They are very important to please but we don't know why.

Type "khanzumerz" in the search and you will be rewarded with all sorts of topics and theories.

meech-venerator · #15 09-21-2002, 08:14 AM

ok, thx for contributing to my oddworld knowledge.

edit_ oh, I just realised that kahnzumer sounds a bit like consumer. that makes an awful lot of sense!

Jacob · #16 09-21-2002, 03:48 PM

Thingies description of a Khanz does slightly go with the picture of the 'New Species' in Khanz's topic. Especially the one with the head trills...

Disgruntled Intern · #17 09-21-2002, 09:52 PM

Perhaps Sam's implant is used to mass produce the hormones needed for birthing so many mudokons, or maybe it's like a permanent IV drip that keeps her sedated...or it monitors her mental status and/or injects the proper chemicals into her brain to keep her stable...who knows?

i can never make out sams face in that pic. can someone point it out for me?

BigBro · #19 09-22-2002, 01:20 PM

No offence, but if you cant see it, thou must be blind.

Ok, see the thing that looks like its looking down at the baby? Thats Sams head.

dripik · #20 09-22-2002, 01:55 PM

That's OK, but what's that big boulder-thing behind her? Is it a rock or a part of Sam?

***Wil*** · #21 09-22-2002, 02:10 PM

Er...that's her body.

Actually, most of it is probably set aside for producing eggs.

BigBro · #22 09-23-2002, 09:36 AM

Yeh, Im thinking its like a 'Queen Bee' type of egg-producing sack.

I just noticed that she looks kinda sad in that picture...

Hey! I just noticed that Sam is basically every Muds Ma. Thats what they must of been reffering to when they say, "And dont even worry about Abes long-lost mother....yet. Youll find that out when you meet Munch", at the end of AE. (Ok, shuddup, I dont have MO yet

.)

***Xavier*** · #23 09-23-2002, 02:51 PM

and it's also why Abe refers to other muds as brothers... yes

Oddsville · #24 09-23-2002, 07:02 PM

I think that the first picture (the one of the sculpture) was an earliy version of Sam. I remember a vidio of Farzad putting/sculpting the back of that modle and it looke like Sams back but kinda turtleshellish.

***Xavier*** · #25 09-24-2002, 03:17 AM

nope, I saw a little animation of Sam head made in CG and it is the same as the sculpture

souled out · #26 09-25-2002, 10:33 PM

i think the joke is that we are the khanzumers. i could be wrong but it would make sense, seeing as without money there could be no oddworld.

***Xavier*** · #27 09-26-2002, 02:19 AM

no, it can't... OWI said there are no phisical relations between Oddworld and the Earth, so forget that idea

TheKhanzumer · #28 09-26-2002, 12:03 PM

I will smash all of my oddworld games if I found they were going to put humans in them. That would suck. It would go against everything I like about oddworld.

maybe not so radical, but something like that, yeah.
plus humans is very un-imaginative

Oddsville · #30 09-26-2002, 11:56 PM

That would also ruin the feel and enjoyment of the Oddoworld games, I admit it would be a strange suprise I still would never want that. But seince Lorne said that we will never see humans in any Oddworld games Im not that worried.
