Lanning has attempted to tap into that mass-market potential by borrowing from traditional linear media such as movies and television. Although routine twitch mechanics are present, his "Oddworld" games also emphasize character development and humor. "Oddworld" has not become a phenomenon on the order of "Sims," but the franchise has moved millions of units -- and Lanning says the most hard-core fans tend to be female.
I've heard this other places to...that the hard-core OW fans are mostly female...but where are they on the OWF? We have a few girls, but it's mostly guys here. Why do you think?
Is it because girls don't like doing the forum thing? Your opinions...
PFFT! stupid guys dont know the meaning of girls iam a girl u forgot me!!!!
lol *walks off cryin*
You just showed up!

Oddguy, if it would make you feel better I could pretend I am a woman.
Whatever helps you sleep at night!
I was just pointing out that we at the OWF appear to be hard-core fans and know a lot about OW...and the majority of us are guys. Lorne says that Women are the hard-core fans, so why aren't they on OWF? Wouldn't it be more balanced?
Eh, I think it's the fact that girls tend to have more of a social life than guys, and usually aren't as computer savvy as us. I'm sure there are plenty of hardcore female fans out there that just haven't discovered OWF, or don't have time for it.
As for the females on the forums subject. I agree. We have a shortage of women. But from what I've seen, read, or heard, the females seem to be the die hard fans. Wasn't there a joke somwhere, saying the perfect gift for your girlfriend was Abe's Oddysee? Which would keep her quiet, while the guy rested?

Boys... sorry... males tend to have the apptitude to sit for hours and hours and hours in front of a computer... girls do not! There's more important s**t like... shopping, cooking, cleaning, washing our hair, chatting to our (real) mates on the phone... blah de blah de blah... we like to fit in what I like to call "a life" between playing OW!
Besides... this place is too much of a "boys club" (testosterone, trampled feelings and dicks) for "real" girly girls to feel comfortable here. You're better off without girly girls anyway... *YUCK!*

Yes, because only girls have to do these things.
We boys never buy anything, eat, wash our hair, or talk to real people.
i can sit infront of a computer for ages i love chatting to all my mates like ferill and hobo but i still go out
I know that Kell!
I was simply being controversial!!! Trying to stir up things a bit! Mac the J and I tend to grapple now and again!
So do you know Ferill and Hobo from real life then or are we talking "cyber mates" here?... In fact answer that via PM Kell... I'm straying off topic here and will be killed...
Hey! Maybe thats why you don't get a lot of females in here! We can't stray off and hold duel conversations like we tend to do in real life!!!
lol m8, yes we should have more females on the forum, but who wants more females to replace VanillahKillah, RedMuse, clairebear and AbeBabe ?????
we would miss VanillahKillah warm welcome on to the forum and Redmuse input on topics and Muse(of course) and clairebear's mature commens and adivce and i am sorry for this adebabe but i haven't seen you since i joined the forum please forgive me
Since the women are more die-hard OW fans, does that mean they know more about OW4 than us on the forums? I think not. So what would you consider a hard-core fan anyway?
Where are all the females?!
