actually no one knows where oddworld is located, so it would be impossible to estimate how muc it would cost to ship the xbox from here to there

Zerox · #**392** 12-03-2006, 02:10 AM

I don't think that exchange rate would be accurate...
It should be safe to say that one Moolah is over $5 worth at least.

***Wil*** · #**393** 12-03-2006, 06:23 AM

Oddworld takes place in another dimension. There is no possible canonical interaction between Earth and Oddworld.

Arxryl · #**394** 12-03-2006, 10:49 AM

I imagine that would add an extra $100 or so to the shipping price...[/kidding]

Does anyone know for sure where the almighty raisin originated from? I have heard many things, but I was wondering wether or not there is a definite history to him...

Is there any canon proof of that? It doesn't say anything like Star Wars "A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far Far Away". Unless I missed a Dear Alf section.

You did; it was on the old Oddworld.com, when it was run by GTI. There is no known record of those early Dear Alfs.

Shame really, it would have been fun to see those Dear Alfs, maybe OWI will release a History section to the new site which shows images or even a replica of the old site.

They have stated that the would have done that already if they could. Unfortunately they did not produce their early website - it was through their publisher - and they did not think ahead to back it up. Now it has been lost into the ether.

in stockyard escape, i recall having seen more than just 2 moons. skillya? you just recently played through AO, how many moons are there?

I'll assume that you're referring to me...Well, if you add up the ones from every single screen, and of course most of them are the same moons really, so technically I'd be counting moon pictures, there are...18.
Take into account that some could be the same ones, I only excluded the moons that were obviously the same ones, without that there would consequently be 19.

Oh and by the way...Does anyone know Lorne Lanning's birthday?

Bullet Magnet · #**400** 12-03-2006, 05:18 PM

Those are only the moons on that side of the world, that side of the sky, at that elevation. You could take that as a random sample and multiply it up, but even without the ambiguous Oddworld dimensions we've been given, the result would be phenomenonly high.

Arxryl · #**401** 12-03-2006, 08:21 PM

So... is thre a definite story behind the almighty raisin? or is there only fan fiction about it?

Bullet Magnet · #**402** 12-03-2006, 08:25 PM

He used to be a tree, and later became the stump we know and love. He was moved below ground to escape the industrialists, and can psychically see through the eyes of the Ratz.

Arxryl · #**403** 12-03-2006, 08:30 PM

Ah... okay. thank you.
(so awkward he used to be a tree through... but that's still cool.)

Patrick Vykkers · #**404** 12-03-2006, 09:37 PM

I'm not sure if this is the right thread, but does anybody else think this guy looks a lot like Stranger?;

Arxryl · #**405** 12-03-2006, 09:39 PM

hmmm.. well, technically that is an Oddworld question so...

yeah. he is a little stranger-esque...

Cullen Heath · #**406** 12-04-2006, 03:17 PM

Not really, I think he looks like a Starwars character. The way he dresses.
Maybe his facial features may resemble Stranger in a way, though.

Patrick Vykkers · #**407** 12-04-2006, 03:44 PM

He is a Star Wars character.

***Xavier*** · #**408** 12-04-2006, 11:04 PM

no he doesn't look like Stranger
not every mean looking furry face looks like Stranger

well that's my opinion

***Nate*** · #**409** 12-05-2006, 01:47 AM

So true...

aaj111 · #**410** 12-05-2006, 08:42 AM

That actually looks more like stranger than the other picture. :P Just a robe like thingy and a big gun.

***Xavier*** · #**411** 12-05-2006, 10:31 AM

lol
I had a shave since then

Arxryl · #**412** 12-05-2006, 03:10 PM

But still... that second picture looks a little closer.

How old do steefs get? Does anyone know?

I know. It took me... a while to find a furry picture of you.

Slaveless · #**414** 12-07-2006, 06:25 PM

To tell you the truth, Arxryl, we really have little information on most species of SW, compared to the information on characters of Abe's adventures. We don't have a single clue on what Gloktigis seem to do, besides kill Stranger. We have little information on Oktigi, as well as Wolvarks. I have no idea how Outlaws accuire technology. Yet what I must say, is that the information we are given, is enough to say that is all what we need to say that we know them.

Zerox · #**415** 12-08-2006, 02:37 AM

I do know that Gloktigi gaurds are used to protect the Glukkon queen, Margeret.

Bullet Magnet · #**416** 12-08-2006, 05:18 AM

And that all of the outlaws' stuff is looted from other species (usually Clakkerz).

Arxryl · #**417** 12-08-2006, 06:23 AM

Okay. thank you for answering my question!

I would like to know where you got that. I have never heard it.

Xav, wasn't that picture a few years ago? Belgium looks beautiful! And you, too, of course

aaj111 · #**419** 12-09-2006, 10:01 PM

In AO there is some 'camp fires'... Who would set some fire? Maybe some Sligs because of a cold night?

Arxryl · #**420** 12-09-2006, 10:08 PM

Probably. It may also be one of those things that can only be explained with the reson that they (being the game makers) needed a little bit of light in the area.
