What makes me an Oddworld fanatic?

I "suffer" from chronic (and terminal) O.D.D: Oddworld Dependency Disorder. It's an oddiction for which the twelve steps are failing spectacularly to cure.

[moxco]

I dont think its how much you ve done and got. its just how much your obseesed and you love it.

[Jordan]

Moxco, it's working hard to get the things that show that you're a real fan.
I know it's how much you love it, but you try to collect merchandise and games for it when you are obsessed.

[Xx_Abe_xX]

I just love the creatures, storyline, and gameplay. It's not because I have all the games, or am writing a comic, i appreciate the world

[SligStorm]

1. I own all the oddworld games pc and psx and xbox (excluding the gameboy ones) including the Abe's Oddysee Demo for psx.

Reason:

I MUST collect everything oddworld. I have been a oddworld fan since I got my psx with the demo of Abe's Oddysee with it.

[OddjobAbe]

Okay, here we go:

1. I bought AO on it's original Europe release date, as I thought right from the start that it looked a great game.

2. I started playing MO (Xbox) at 12:00am to 12:00am (A FULL DAY-in the space of a day, I completed it three times, all characters freed each time).

3. I recently purchasedthe limited edition version of the OWI art book.

4. I once created a fan game version of Munch's Oddysee in 2D, with the backstory as several different versions of: RuptureFarms, SoulStorm Brewery and Necrum Mines. I kept this game to myself, and it got accidentally deleted.

5. I drew approximately 1100 different frames to create a film of Abe's Oddysee.

6. I downloaded the MO GBA rom in order to create a CD of it's soundtrack. I succeeded.

7. I created a model slig out of plaster of paris, and hand-painted it. It was very successful.

8. I created a computer program called the 'Oddworld interactive guide', which includes game samples played through a PS1 and Xbox emulator, my Sega Megadrive/Genesis version of AO and all the pages from the OWI art book. It also included screenshots, accurate information and FMVs. I never broadcast it to the internet, though.

9. I finished AE with all the muds freed. All I got was a message from a shaman about Munch.

10. I created a small electronic model of a paramite, which every 8 steps it takes, it makes a paramite sound.

11. I created a plaster of paris model of a Scrab, then hand painted it.

12. I created a plaster of paris model of a Glukkon, then hand painted it.

There. Alot of those took alot of my time up, but I enjoyed doing them. I am not willing to share images of my models, because I can't be bothered fathoming out whih key is the key for my display cabinet. I'm no bragger, I was just sticking to what I feel makes me an OW fanatic.

Oh, yeah, I also completed Starnger's Wrath with the 20 grand befor I got to Mongo Valley. I won't let off the secret.

[used:)]

Wow, some of you really need to get lives.

What makes me an Oddworld fan is how I've played the games and enjoyed them in a gaming manner as well as a profound, artistic manner. Plus I have an AE hat.

[snuzi]

1. I've played every game over and over, even after I've beaten them.
2. When I was younger, I used to create my own Oddworld strategy guides to games I had thought up.
3. When I was younger, I would also create my own creatures and locations so that I could continue Oddworld even before the new games came out.
4. I've been nicknamed "snuzi" ever since Munch's Oddysee came out.
5. I've been so obsessed with Oddworld over the years that all of my friends, as well as certain people who don't know me, have told me to stop making such a big deal about it.
6. I've been drawing Oddworld characters ever since Abe's Oddysee came out (though, must of them sucked ).
7. I've talked about Oddworld so much, that I've actually gotten other people hooked.
8. I used to actually play AO and AE in real life with some of my friends when I was younger.

And that's pretty much all I can think of.

[skillya_glowi]

Oh gosh, how could I possibly explain why I'm a fan? Oddworld gave me something nothing could possibly scrub away: belief in their doctrines, love for their characters, and contempt for their villains. I may not be running a macho fan site, or be all chummy with the company, or buy every piece of merchandise they've licensed to release, but I do have a deep-rooted belief in everything Oddworld is fighting for. If that's not enough to make a real fan, I don't know what is. I don't know what life would be like for me without Oddworld; only thing I know is, it wouldn't be complete.

@7 & 8: Tell me where you got the cards and poster. XD
@13: I share a room, and my brother isn't someone who likes Oddworld XD.
@15: How'd you make Sligs and all? TELL ME NOW!!!

[OddjobAbe]

Wow, you all really need to get lives.

What makes me an Oddworld fan is how I've played the games and enjoyed them in a gaming manner as well as a profound, artistic manner. Plus I have an AE hat.

I guess I definately need to get a life - my idea of fun is physics, creating programs and games using my I.T skills, and socializing with other people over the wide gateway to many places known as the internet. I suppose that I'm a sad old git.

[SligStorm]

@7 & 8: Tell me where you got the cards and poster. XD
@13: I share a room, and my brother isn't someone who likes Oddworld XD.
@15: How'd you make Sligs and all? TELL ME NOW!!!

put it this way about the poster.. I Have no idea were it was originaly obtained.

Well they were big versions and how do you actually explain how to put peaces together in lego without going to into depth? lol

[mitsur]

1. I've got all the games....somewhere....
2. I love the way all the genres all smooshed together in Oddworld games
3. I can think up many intricate, detailed storylines that involve Oddworld. Right now.
4. I come here

[Xavier]

I'd love to see pictures of your creations guys... especially that paramite bot and those lego models

[Paramite of War]

1.) I draw Oddworld Characters In my spare time which is almost every day.
2.) I have soft cover version of the Official book.
3.) I have been a long time member of the OW fanclub even though I think it's dead now.

[scrabinator]

1. I have been hooked on Oddworld since I first played AO in 1997.
2. I have completed all four games numerous times and have achieved the four different endings for AO, AE and MO.
3. I own a copy of the limited edition art book.
4. I own all the Christmas cards and the stickers.
5. I own an Oddworld poster.
6. I own the Oddworld Movies DVD.
7. I own rips of most of the games’ music. (Thanks to some generous forum member whose name I can’t remember)
8. My computer is jam-packed with various Oddworld related pictures, movies and sounds.
9. I bought an Xbox specifically so I could play MO.
10. I have asked numerous questions to Alf regarding my curiosity towards the Oddworld Universe.
11. Although I do not post frequently, I do check in on the forums regularly to see what's up in the Oddworld community.

That being said, I don’t believe that to be a true fan you have to own every piece of Oddworld merchandise or even own a copy of the art book. Just that you enjoyed the game(s) in your own way, and recognise and support the values and attitudes behind the game(s).

[Bullet Magnet]

Especially since it's harder to get some of that merchandise than it is to visit the White House dressed as a ninja.

[Xx_Abe_xX]

3. I recently purchased the limited edition version of the OWI art book.

Aw man I want that book so bad! Where'd you get it? Oh, I've completed the AE demo while rescuing all 39 mudokons. Another thing; I noticed that instead of telling why we love Oddworld, we're just telling about our accomplishments.

[skillya_glowi]

I didn't. Bwahaha.
'Sides, spending hundreds of bucks/pounds/whatever on Oddworld merchandise doesn't really show what it means to you, and tryin' to explain that would take up pages. I don't think anyone wants to type that much

[Jordan]

There isn't any merch around anymore, I've been looking for years, it's not fair... *Pouts*

[Alf Shall Rise]

Yeah I know what you mean, like in the Abe's Exoddus booklet in the back, all the merchandise, the website doesn't have it and I don't think the phone number is even available anymore. But...I guess those were kinda old...heh...

[Jordan]

Heh, I didn't even get the merchandise catalog. Most of the merch nowadays is on eBay USA, and I'm not allowed to buy from America, all because of a stupid Sonic the hedgehog toy that never came...

[Satch]

i love the Oddworld games for a lot of reasons.. i love the Abe games for basically everything. the gameplay, the sounds, the artwork, the uniqueness of the entire world.. i simply fell in love with everything..

[skillya_glowi]

The only thing I can think of that I could have done without is the fart overdo in AE. I loved the darkness and humourlessness in AO. Just touches your soul, doesn't it?

[OddjobAbe]

Aw man I want that book so bad! Where'd you get it? Oh, I've completed the AE demo while rescuing all 39 mudokons. Another thing; I noticed that instead of telling why we love Oddworld, we're just telling about our accomplishments.

I ordered it from Ballistic publishing. I think they still have some limited editions left.

Ho ho, I made a Scrab bot to go with my electronic paramite... but it gets overbalanced and falls over. Damn the laws of science. Back to the drawing board.
