strange koinkidink!

[Sal the Mudokon]

in the movie: Total Recall, on the planet Mars there are alien artifacts that date back half a million years. well, i was amazed by how the artifact that changes Mars into an Earth-like planet is a hand print that is EXACTLY identical to Abe's in Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. watch the movie and tell me what ya think!

[globe90]

Coincidence, you say?
I calls it plagiarism, I does.

[Cloverfield]

I've seen Total Recall a number of times, and never related that to the devices that control various things around Oddworld. Probably just a coincidence though, because I've also seen the hand print used as form of identification in other sci-fi/futuristic movies and series.

Abe Babe...

Hi, folks!

Gee, I loved that movie, not just because of the old Arnie, but because of the so intriguing plot and visual effects.

Total Recall was released in 1990, and OWI started in 1994, plus Abe only lost his fourth finger in 1998, in Abe's Exoddus. so, there is no connection between the Alien Artifact in Total Recall and the mudokons species.

I only made the connection when I first watcehd the "Get Freaky" video clip, because at the enad the rappers(?) show a three fingerwd hand the same way Arnie did to fit the Alien artifact in Total Recall.

So, I'd say it's a coincidence.

[Sal the Mudokon]

yeah, but it was the four-fingered hand and everything... but the movie also had prostitutes with three boobs, so i didnt mean that there was much of a REAL connection... merely similarities.

[ODDBODD]

but the movie also had prostitutes with three boobs,B]

hehe imagine if oddworld had prosties? Common the glukkons are busy men maybe they want a little three boobed slig dancing to him

[globe90]

A trimammarian slig performance? No problem!
It can all be yours with the magic of Gamespeak™.

Glukkon: "Hey!"
Three-breasted Slig: "Hi."
Glukkon: "Commere."
Three-breasted Slig: "Click-click."
(Sound of working pistons, pitter-patter of Sliggy feet as the triplebreaster steps onstage.)
Glukkon: "Do it!"
Three-breasted Slig: "What?"
Glukkon: "Do it!"
Three-breasted Slig: "Bleh!"
(This commences the Graceful Dance of the Machine Pants. Such beauty, such expression! And lookit dose green gazongas jiggle!)
Glukkon: "Hah-hah-hah."

...Or maybe not.

[ODDBODD]

....you never know what the fleeches were really used for

[TheBlueScrab]

Hi
Oh that´s cool!But i don´t saw this movie!
Where you saw this???

Bye, TheBlueScrab

[globe90]

Grrrrgh... ack! After posting that, I had a dream about a dancing Slig last night. Y'know what's worse? It was doing the Macarena. Oh, the horror!
It didn't have breasts, though...


"Hi, my name is Oddomatic, and I have a Slig fetish."


"Hi, Oddomatic."

[One, Two, Middlesboogie]

Not to worry, I've had plenty of surreal dreams involving Oddworld. (I've posted details in the 'Dreams about Oddworld' topic.)

[globe90]

Uh-huh, I browsed that discussion, but didn't really want to ressurect such an old thread.
S'pose we could take this to OddChat?

[ODDBODD]

Oddomatic has lost the plot. Its alright that you are dreaming about dancing sligs, but doing the macerena. NOW THATS JUST SICK!!!

[globe90]

Yes. I am a very naughty Mudokon - not only did I lose the plot, but I was dreaming about the Macarena. Today I called a Slig to beat me until I see the error of my ways.
Having said that, though, can you imagine the Macarena in mechanical pants?

Chorus of five Sligs: Heeeeey, macarena! (three-round burst from rifles; slave & Slog casualties ensue)
Glukkon: Hah-hah-hah.

[TheBlueScrab]

Hi
ajooo, genauuu!
Don´t be angry!!!
