I'm not sure how much time... I'd say 5 years, but it's a wild guess

I don't know how to navigate it.

Then figure out how.

***Nate*** · #**456** 06-30-2006, 11:34 PM

I'd say Sekto would have been around for much longer than five years; he would have had to have acheived some level of power to build the dam in the first place and target all the steefs. Then it would have taken some time for the Mongo valley to become a the desert and for the Clakkers to move in and supplant the grubbs.

This could be a topic for a seperate thread.

what's the problem, how could it be more easy?

When is Tex named? In the credits? Somewhere in the cutscene? In some behind the scenes commentary or interview?
Also, what the heck is a Mug?

Mudoko_Jedi · #**459** 07-01-2006, 03:38 AM

1. im not sure how people found out his name.

2. a mug is a meetle which has been captured by the industrialists and fed meat instead of vegies and the industrials use them as a fighting creature.

It's a stubby cup like object with a handle that people use to drink beverages such as coffee out of.

The Glukkon in Munch's Oddysee that speaks with a Texan accent is credited as “Tex Glukkon” in the game's credits, which is actually a description rather than a name. But that's where the name comes from.

Elboze Freely is a complete cyborg

Uh... is this some sort of fan-fic theory or are you actually basing it on something?

It's probably based off the pneumatic noises he makes when he moved. Personally, I don't like any of the cyborg Outlaws. They are out-of-place and completely frivolous.

Bullet Magnet · #**462** 07-02-2006, 03:04 AM

I'm pretty sure he is entirely cyborg. As I said, all his limbs and his jaw are replaced, and his organic parts are heavily armoured.

What do you mean, out of place? The sligs have mechanical limbs, and they can control them when they never even had any legs! That means that they probably don't have the brain function to control them either, yet they do! Packrat is a genius amounst thieves, it'd be a cinch for him to perform such... "operations".

***Wil*** · #**463** 07-02-2006, 06:34 AM

The Glukkons are mass-industrialists with close relations to twisted Vykkers scientists. The Outlaws are common-society miscreants with no formal system of business or education.

Sligs being given mechanical legs makes us realise how puny they are without them. Outlaws pack a mean punch without robotic additions. There's no reason for them to exist.

Patrick Vykkers · #**464** 07-03-2006, 05:09 PM

A bit of an odd question. Would it be possible to give a Slig (not a crawling one) a wedgie?

used:) · #**465** 07-03-2006, 05:40 PM

No, underwear is required, which Sligs do not have, and don't give me that "but they could" bullshit. And they don't wear "mechanical pants," they wear mechanical legs.

Patrick Vykkers · #**466** 07-03-2006, 06:31 PM

Of course they don't. I'm almost certain you actually see the majority of a Sligs body while in pants in a few of the FMVS (Brewmasters assistant comes to mind) and it looks like they're going commando. Then again, Lulu's valet jumps out of his pants and you can see purple material on his tail. Thanks for the leg thing. It was largely wondering if you could wedgie them with just their legs, but no.

used:) · #**467** 07-03-2006, 06:39 PM

I wasn't referring to you, par say, when I talked about the "but they could" thing. I was referring more to the general over-analyzing populace of the GD forum.

Patrick Vykkers · #**468** 07-03-2006, 08:40 PM

I know. I didn't feel offended, it was just a comment.

Slaveless · #**469** 07-06-2006, 11:09 AM

I have a question. On the offical site for SW, it says that Sekto was able to suck the life out of everybody that wanted to know who he was. If so, why didn't he try to suck the life out of Stranger. Did he want him alive or are Steef not affected by his vibrant glow?

Mudoko_Jedi · #**470** 07-06-2006, 11:53 PM

Maybe it meant if he wants to kill people he sucks the life from them.

Eh, can you give a link for that specific site?

From memory, it didn't necessarily say he was able to suck the life out of everybody; just whomever his host is. I would assume that an Octigi would have to subdue an enemy before suckering onto it.

Yes, I read it, and I'm thinking that there must be a misundering.

Mudoko_Jedi · #**473** 07-08-2006, 12:28 AM

yes me too.

While I agree with all of the negative-wedgie comments, I still must point out the Slig quote of: "Pants, pants, I need some pants!"

As for the host comments, Stranger wasn't exactly very 'close' to Sekto. hah

The Sligs call them pants. They are still mechanical legs

***Wil*** · #**476** 07-08-2006, 03:14 PM

It's simply an allusion to Sekto's parasitic secret identity. It's an example of advertising liscense. I wouldn't take it any more literally than I would Homo Sapien Syrup or Good Human Ice Cream, both used to advertise Abe's Oddysee.

Bullet Magnet · #**477** 07-08-2006, 04:13 PM

I think it is more of a spirit, vitality or "will to carry on" thing, rather than a literal effect.

I know. I just couldn't help but point out where someone might think of them as "pants."

Mudoko_Jedi · #**479** 07-10-2006, 12:44 AM

Does anyone have a cool oddworld backround?

***Nate*** · #**480** 07-10-2006, 06:48 AM

A few people do, judging by the thread in OT. You could ask that question there. Or if you really wanted to ask the question in an Oddworld-exclusive way, you could start your own thread here in GD.

But this thread is probably not the best place to ask it.
