Abe and Oddysee cast to appear on TV -

Esus · #31 02-16-2004, 07:40 AM

Hopefully they should show at least a bit of the fmvs, as it has already been shown at the festival.
I think it's pretty certain that we'll be seeing a bit of gameplay, but perhaps this is the same gameplay as what was shown on X-Factor, as the "advert" did make the Stranger part out to be pretty small...

SS look some posts up...
and in the Game Over I don't expect much more then 10 seconds of oddworld

KintoKid · #33 03-10-2004, 06:37 PM

I just watched it and loved it.

Abe sneaking by was great, and the three species attacking that fat purple walrus guy (I think his name was Turbo) was pretty cool. And the show turned out to be funnier and way less cheesy than I thought it would be.

God dammit, I missed it.

I looked in the TV Guide and realized it was at 7.

And that was at 8.

oddguy · #35 03-10-2004, 06:42 PM

Just saw "Game Over." Seriously sucked, and nothing I'd plan on watching. Great concept, but the show had terrible writing. Sure, a couple laugh worthy parts, but really altogther very lame. I thought the Oddworld cameo would be better, but it was just okay. Nevertheless, I'm going to get you guys a quicktime movie version of the Oddworld scene in "Game Over" so you guys can see it.

EDIT: Oh, Mac...the show is replaying on friday.

KintoKid · #36 03-10-2004, 06:55 PM

The only thing I liked about the show was the Oddworld cameos and a couple of the jokes ("Why is he taking off his pants?" and the one about Thomas and the green pet). Ok so that's 2 things. But, now that I think about it, they could have done a better job with the show.

Dipstikk · #37 03-10-2004, 07:02 PM

I honestly thought Abe would be, like, they're neighbor or someone that Patric Warburton talks to on the phone.

And he's like "Hello, who's this?"
And Abe says "Hello."
And then whatever Patric's character is says, "Oh, hi Abe."
And Abe would say, "Follow me."
Patric: "Um..."
Abe: "Wait."
Patric: "You need to stop calling this number."
Abe: *fart noise*

But, the cameo with the scrabs, slogs, and paramites cornering Turbo was kinda fun to watch.

I would have liked to hear Lorne Lanning's voice in it, however.

oddguy · #38 03-10-2004, 07:13 PM

Yeah, I thought there would've been one voice cameo at least. I was a bit disappointed.

I was expecting something funny like that as well. That would've been hilarious. The thing is, us OW fans would've been the only ones getting the joke.

Oh, I also saw a Crash cameo on a Got Milk billboard at the racetrack.

I realy want to see that! can't wait until you post the MOV video Oddguy!

crabby · #41 03-11-2004, 01:49 PM

I DivX encoded the portion which features oddworld characters that I recorded on Wednesday. If somebody can give me something in the manner of hosting space, you can have it before Friday.

oddguy · #42 03-11-2004, 03:16 PM

I have the "Game Over" Oddworld Cameo, and the "X-Factor" Oddworld Segments uploaded onto two seperate quicktime mov files. All I need now is Abe Babe to upload them to Oddworld-Web. Or have someone else host them for the time being.

you can ask Aba Babe or Haylay.

As I've explained to Oddguy, the problem with hosting such large files, is that it very quickly depletes our bandwidth per month. Each month we use and average of 8 GB, of the 12 GB we are alotted.

With the addition of such large files, not only will the server be drained by downloading so much information (not to mention I'm sure there will be quite a few people downloading it) but our bandwidth will be eaten. As we are on a Shared Host, other websites complain if their own site is slow, and we will be told to halt it.

We are currently trying other avenues. Although, if anyone does have some space that has heaps of bandwidth, do tell

Alcar...

oddguy · #45 03-12-2004, 06:57 PM

Yes, a large amount of bandwidth would be great. And here's an idea...

Whoever hosts this file doesn't have to host it forever. Just have it up for a limited time.(then you can get rid of it) As long as people like Xav, Alcar, Abe Babe etc see it, I'm happy. I really couldn't care less for people that I don't know and aren't OWF members.

A lightbulb just clicked behind the spiderwebs in my little mind. I could always show you guys screen captures of the OW cameo in "Game Over!"

Yes, watching it is much better. Especially because the clip is dark and it's easier to see the cameos when they're in a nice fluid motion. Anyway, while you're all waiting for the hosting of the quicktime mov issue to get sorted out, I have the next best thing.

Here's some screen captures...

The story behind this scene is that the Smashenburns want to get rid of their newly aquired pet, named Turbo. So, they've decided to dump him off at a toxic waste dump...where the paramites, scrabs and slogs seem to live in abundance.

Mac the Janitor · #47 03-12-2004, 07:57 PM

That looks...interesting.

oddguy · #48 03-12-2004, 08:08 PM

Yeah, writing on "Game Over" really wasn't up to par with what I'd consider Oddworld worthy of.

-=[oddguy

***Alcar*** · #49 03-12-2004, 09:03 PM

Those screens look great

As for the movies. Maybe I could upload the smaller movie file, but only to a few select members, as I really don't want our bandwidth to be used up so fast.

The toughest part would be uploading it.

crabby · #50 03-13-2004, 05:42 AM

I put the DivX encoded video on my own server, hosted from my computer. If you can stand the slow speed then this is good for you.

What is it with these new people stealing my thunder?

Oh well, the size is considerably smaller than my quicktime mov.

thanks oddguy for the screens! and thanx crabby for the movie!
I will post about on oddblog later

Looks like "Game Over" has already been taken care of. Phew!

Now we just need to deal with "X-Factor," if we even deal with it at all.

I liked your idea of only showing it to a few choice OWF members, which is what I wanted in the first place.

Okay, upload the file overnight, host it on the server and hide it behind a password that only the choice OWF members will have access to. Then, initiate a line download process. A one-at-a-time download system. Once a person had finished downloading, the line moves along so the next person can download. Keep the file up for a week, then you could dump it.

Okay, after downloading the file, I suggest burning it onto a CD, because this is a huge 11 minute file...then clear it off your Hard Drive.

I hope this works. If not, I could always send a Burned CD copy to a couple choice members.

hey Oddguy, do you have MSN?
If you do I realy would love to have the bigger version of the GameOver snippet

Great! That makes me feel better. Uploading my movie was going to be torture. Yes, I admit.

Seargentbig · #58 03-27-2004, 07:40 PM

I tried downloading the movie at OWI, but it didn't work, I only got the sound!

***Alcar*** · #59 03-27-2004, 10:00 PM

Yes, same here. It might be because of versions issues though, as I'm not the most up to date kind of guy.
