We spent today adding more mushrooms just for you.

Why do they glow? From the biological point of view. What's the purpose of this mechanism that does that?

So animals are more inclined to agitate them thus releasing their spores around the surrounding area and onto the animal.

Varrok · #63 05-20-2014, 01:32 PM

Do animals agitate things just because they glow?

STM · #64 05-20-2014, 01:58 PM

The luciferin attracts flies and such. You know how flies get attracted to street lamps and stuff, same principle.

Varrok · #65 05-20-2014, 02:10 PM

Are there flies in Oddworld Universe? (legit question)

Crashpunk · #66 05-20-2014, 03:10 PM

Yeah. The Fireflies. Or do you mean other types of flies?

You do know that glowing mushrooms exist on our planet too, right?

You can actually buy the spoors on Amazon and grow them for yourself! First thing I'm gonna do after I land in the US.

Everything on this page is a lie. They have a man come past and paint them in radium.

Sony's Press event is at 11am GMT on the 9th June so I'm sure Sony will announce something there!

Nepsotic · #71 05-21-2014, 02:08 AM

What do Sony know about mushrooms?

Pirfsich · #72 05-21-2014, 03:30 AM

Everything, Nep.

STM · #73 05-21-2014, 07:13 AM

Not e-fucking-nough, is what I'd say. I want to know the total number of in game mushrooms and what their every purpose is.

Scrabaniac · #74 05-21-2014, 07:29 AM

I don't know why, but i find that the mushrooms are very Avatar-esque, It's not a negative thing, just saying is all

It makes it easier to shoot RuptureFarms escapees. Their corpses provide nutrients for the fungus.

Bingo.

That second bit is brilliant; it should be canon.

MeechMunchie · #78 05-21-2014, 01:16 PM

The idea that Glukkon industry is so ancient that organisms have evolved to exploit it is pretty cool. It's peppered moths all over again.

Nepsotic · #79 05-21-2014, 01:21 PM

That brings back memories of old biology exams.

Slog Bait · #80 05-21-2014, 10:53 PM

Biology is so great

STM · #81 05-22-2014, 04:53 PM

Until it starts pumping out things like the helicoprion. Then you just have to wonder what the fuck it was thinking.

Samtastic · #82 05-23-2014, 01:47 AM

Right now I'm getting all excited about June 9th. As soon as launch day arrives, I'll be getting on my PS3, downloading Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty and doing a livestream no matter what connection I'm on. I live away from my BT Infinity but I hope it comes out after I left College so I can stream on my fiber optics!

Scrabaniac · #83 05-23-2014, 01:55 AM

I just hope it is released before i start University, I won't have much time to myself up there

JennyGenesis · #84 05-23-2014, 03:14 AM

Luckily for me, I have just finished university for good, and as soon as we get a confirmed release date, I shall be booking that day off work. I did the exact same thing for GTA V.

Samtastic · #85 05-23-2014, 03:37 AM

On the day it's out I'll be downloading it straight away and I'll be on twitch as soon as it's finished downloading. My twitch live stream will be a playthrough and after that I'll so a save all 99 on YouTube afterwards.

Nepsotic · #86 05-23-2014, 03:44 AM

Sad bastard.

***Nate*** · #87 05-23-2014, 03:50 AM

Urgh. Grow up, Nep. Enjoy your infraction.

Yep, I was planning to do exactly the same thing

Scrabaniac · #89 05-23-2014, 04:52 AM

Was that really necessary of Nep? I'm not a youtube gamer but i would like to upload a walkthrough of NnT, even though i cringe to the sound of my own voice, don't have subscribers who are necessarily interested in gaming as i upload music i write and don't have great technology to record it.

Nepsotic · #90 05-23-2014, 05:26 AM

I was joking, if that hurt his feelings in any way that's his problem. For the record, you're all sad bastards, including me.

I shan't. Nate, isn't it against the rules to openly discuss infractions and bans? I think I deserve a prize for getting infracted for something so minor, it's an achievement.
