April fools: Oddworld Store preview: TOLshop

***Xavier*** · #1 03-31-2009, 06:52 AM

Oddworld Inhabitants will soon be announcing the creation of the Oddworld Store, an online shopping centre where loyal fans can buy Oddworld merchandise and games. Although this may not seem like the greatest thing OWI could release at this time, the store puts an end to scouring eBay for rare whoopie cushions and baseball caps.

Although the Oddworld Store will not be opened for another few weeks, the Oddworld Library has been able to negotiate not only early news coverage but our very own preliminary TOLshop: a tiny preview of the eventual official site to help us celebrate the Library’s official third birthday.

Available now are a selection of five T-shirts in a range of sizes, one based on each Oddworld game and one based on the upcoming Citizen Siege film and games. Hopefully we will be permitted to add more items before the full range becomes available on the official Oddworld Store, but for now you have the option of lending your support for Oddworld Inhabitants with this nifty set of merchandise.

A joke. A little uh... Early for an April Fool's joke hm? You honestly did fool me, I was actually excited. So, even OWI opening a merchandise shop is a joke too?

Yeah I think thats the general idea Jordan.

These guys think they're so funny...

April? I thought it's tomorrow o__O;

AlexFili · #8 03-31-2009, 08:13 AM

Whatever you do, don't mention Munch's Exoddus >_<

OANST · #9 03-31-2009, 10:17 AM

You're an asshole. Seriously. Asshole.

Oddey · #10 03-31-2009, 10:24 AM

Bad joke, good joke or no joke. You decide.

I'm confused as to wether ths is joke or not.

If it's a joke, you got me. If it's not, then I might buy something.

AlexFili · #11 03-31-2009, 10:29 AM

If only there was a Slig one

moxco · #12 03-31-2009, 12:55 PM

IF THIS IS AN APRIL FOOLS PRANK I'M GONNA STAB YOUR EYES OUT!

Crap they don't have XS. oh well, time to put on a few kilos.

Fuzzle Guy · #13 03-31-2009, 04:29 PM

I hate you.

You do realise... we are all well within our rights to negrep you as it is before April Fools?

Seriously, this is so much more soul destroying than "OWF IS CLOSING" was.

DarkHoodness · #14 03-31-2009, 04:53 PM

Aww, you should've made them more professional-looking. :P It'd of fooled more people.

Though I wouldn't pay $18 for a T-Shirt with "Hello" and "Follow me" written on it in green OddFont, even though it is a good idea.

I've never had to ask this before; How exactly do you negrep people?

I apologize if I got your hopes up a bit too much, but I didn't believe anyone would fall for it...

so you know who to throw your garbage at:
Xavier: site and t-shirts
Max: catchy introduction

AlexFili · #17 04-01-2009, 07:14 AM

I might get a Slig t-shirt personalised one day, that would be awesome!
I'm still holding out for Slig Finger Puppets

By the way, if you want to get personalised T-Shirts you can try a variety of different places.

Here's one: http://www.tshirtstudio.com/ By the way I can't confirm or deny how good this store is because I have never used it. Enjoy at your own peril!

You guys should all check out the new Nine Inch Nails album that became available for download today. Make sure that you read the track list.

Although this wouldn't put an end to 'relic miners' who want the real classic merchandise. All this would be doing is adding to the amount of already available fan merchandise. Even if they re-release some of the old merchandise, like the boxer shorts *crosses fingers* it won't be 'original' just a reproduction.

Oh yeah. Pussygrinder. Great.

Featuring Sheryl Crow no less.

Depart from me Xavier, into everlasting fire...

Oddey · #22 04-01-2009, 11:11 PM

Xavier... What level of hell are you going to?

I'll get my hands on a "Hello" T-shirt one of these days.

Oddsville · #23 04-06-2009, 06:08 PM

Xav, you got me and its been 5 days seince april fools...*cries*

***Xavier*** · #24 04-06-2009, 11:51 PM

AlexFili · #25 04-07-2009, 12:26 AM

Although this was an April Fools. In my opinion it was a very good one. (In fact I think this one was probably the best one I got all day!)
Not only that but thanks to this, I now own an ACTUAL Slig T-Shirt that I designed myself!
