I think all the desgusting sounds in the game like farting and burping are just a gag. Thats all. I only use them when you least expect it. Thats how I see those sounds being odd in the game. Like if you were quite for a long time and I did not say anything and I had some muds following me I would out of the blue fart or burp for no apparent reason. Thats one of the things which make Oddworld odd. Doing stuff that just doesent make any sense. Like farting only once in the game out of the blue for no reason at all. Thats odd.

Oh man. Argue, argue, debate, debate. For crying out loud Jacob. If you don't like the farts and burps don't press the X button. Screw the imaaturity and all. Who cares? It's a game! The whole Oddworld concept is getting cheesier and cheesier. OWI aren't trying to create a dead serious game. Although, I myself would personally prefer them to do so. I rdckon they should lower the cheesiness and enhance the horror. That'd be great. But that cheesiness is needed to create the sterotypical planet that is Oddworld.
I reckon they do make the game odd because no other game has used the idea before. It may be pointless and stupid but I have never really thought about it this in depth. Calm down.
As for all those who can handle gross sounds, I reckon Squeek will probably just let out a squeek sound. It may be unoriginal, but I really do think that's the sound we're in for. I doubt Abe's farts are going anywhere in future games either, though I do wish the X button was used for something a little more useful in the gamespeak than that. But eh. It's okay to gas it up with me!

... its hard to promote a fart, its a natural body function, it either happens or not, so u cant say a green guy fartin is promotin farting

Its encouraging breaking of wind...it may be a normal bodily function but to do it:

1) While in the company of others.
2) Over and over again

Is disgusting...

And that Spanish peep is promoting sunglass' he may not mean to...but he is.

I can imagine a large yellow label on Munch's Exoddus with a hazard symbol. The label reads:

Warning: do not attempt to pass wind with frequency. It may cause pain and gut issues.

And I'm also curious of your use of the word 'disgusting', Jacob. Obviously, passing wind in polite company is rude and uncalled for. Disgusting? Disgusting is the man I saw on one of those American talk shows who made his two sons think that women were put on the Earth to labour over men. Disgusting is animal cruelty. I don't think the word could apply to gasseous excretion.

Petty points aside, I don't see why people must get upset over such a topic as the amusing additions Lorne and the OWI team put into the game. As said before, if you don't wish to hear farting, or burping, or whatever, don't press the button. And if you enjoy the humour created by the odd and well-timed trump, by all means go ahead. If you find it hysterical to continually pump your thumb on X and watch Munch belch, for goodness sake, don't turn the volume up too loud, but otherwise, why should anyone else care?

Play the game your own way - don't keep trying to affect the way other people play the game or live their lives. When Abe Babe suggested a non-violent approach to Munch's Oddysee, she didn't exactly belt out an imperative command (thankfully).

Think - what are you actually trying to achieve with your arguement?

Is concidert ment to say 'consider' ?

Now come on, admit it, that was harsh.


Well, I'm glad to think that I can still come up with lengthy and meaningful posts once in a while.


p.s. I just checked your profile, Jacob. Your 'interests' and, for that matter, several other statistics in there seem to suggest that your are not as mature as you are making out to be. Unless you just haven't altered your profile in a while. Which reminds me, it's abour time I changed my signiture.

Now come on, admit it, that was harsh.

It wasn't meant to be harsh...i was actually asking a simple question. If it offended the peep then sorry to them.

[The Shrink]

Oh man! Quiet, please. This has gone on too long now. Well posted MaxtheMug. But let's just let this one be and let Jacob, the outsider in this topic, have his own way and everyone have their's, because in the end it's about respecting other people's opinions, so long as they aren't offensive to others, which is clearly not happening here. It has turned into a keyboarding word brawl.
On the other hand, we could just keep hammering Jacob until he gives up! (Oh sorry, imaaturity there)

[paramiteabe]

Ok I am going to lighten up the mood here since I see we are at computer war over Jacob. Anyways heres a crazy idea I have cooking up in my insane imagination of mine. I just thought of this like right now so warning it might be stupid I don't care. You know how there are chant supressors on Oddworld. And if you chant you get zaped. Well what if there were gas surpressors? So if you break wind you get electricuted in the A**! hehehe! That would be crazy but helarous!

[salty pretzils]

o.k.. heres one, shrukull's (no offence to anyone named this)farts have to be poisnus or something ...so you could fart in front of a slig and they'd die Just to ligten the mood...
